GlenDronach Parliament “21 years old”, 48%
The quotation marks are because the age of this whisky is not what is says. This one was bottled in 2022, which means distillation would have happened around 2020/2021. However, at that time the distillery was closed and not producing … Continue reading

Duich (Tamdhu) 8, 2016-2024, 1st Fill PX Cask 30369, 57.2% – Dràm Mòr
Apparently Duich is another name for Tamdhu Distillery, to be used by independent bottlers. I didn’t know that until recently, and it’s another one to be added to the dictionary, next to things like Burnside, Westport, and certainly others that … Continue reading

BenRiach 10, 2013-2023, 1st Fill PX Hogshead Finish, 55.5% – Dràm Mòr
Another one I tried at the Hielander Whisky Festival early this year. While chatting to Kenny of Dràm Mòr, we had a couple of drams. Some of them I already knew because of review activities, and wanted to try again … Continue reading

Mortlach 7, 2016-2023, PX Matured, 54.7% – The Duchess
Why is this one not available anywhere, you say? That is mostly because this is not out yet, much like last week’s BenRiach. It’s going to be out 9 February, but even then you’ll be hard pressed to find this … Continue reading

BenRiach 26, 1997-2023, PX Finish Cask 7355, 57.1% – The Duchess
This one isn’t even out yet! Supposedly, if things to right, it will be in three weeks though! A 26 year old BenRiach is always something interesting, but the PX finish makes it a bit of an oddball. Generally, whiskies … Continue reading

Cadenhead’s 10th Anniversary Sherry Pack: Ord, Ben Nevis and Caol Ila
Apparently the Cadenhead’s Club exists for 10 years. In that time there have been a couple of bottlings, although the last few were unable to be shipped to the Netherlands, or prohibitively expensive to have shipped and allowed into the … Continue reading

Tomatin Meets Sherry, Oloroso and PX Editions, 57.9% and 53.4%
I’ve reviewed this set before, almost a decade ago. Back then I wrote short notes on both the sherry and the whisky, but this time I’m only looking at the whisky side of things. I rebought these last year because … Continue reading

GlenDronach 17, 1995-2013, PX Sherry Puncheon, 56.6% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
Ah, remember those days when ordering from the UK was affordable? When whisky coming from across the North Sea didn’t cost another 60-ish Euros in taxes and fees? Back in those days I ordered this GlenDronach. The distillery was all … Continue reading

A batch of sherries
About a million years ago, in April of 2021, the second year of the plague, I was fortunate enough to try several sherries, courtesy of Ruben (of both Sherry Notes and Whisky Notes). After getting some information for a sherry … Continue reading
