Edradour 12, 2011-2023, Oloroso Sherry Butts, 57.8% – Batch 1
So, as it turns out Edradour has also jumped on the ‘we now make a sherried cask strength version of our whisky’ bandwagon. Similar to Glengoyne, GlenDronach, and many others. There is a big difference though, because Edradour put an … Continue reading

Edradour 10, 2009-2020, Sherry Butt 401, 46% – Signatory
A little while I wanted a rather specific whisky that wasn’t available in ‘regular’ shops anymore. But, according to Whiskybase there was this shop in The Netherlands that still had it. It was called ‘Whisky Exclusive‘. In a way, that … Continue reading

Blair Athol 12, 2008-2020, 1st Fill Sherry Hogshead 18601601, 57.7% – Gordon & MacPhail (Connoisseurs Choice)
I am such an idiot. While this is not news to me, this one here is undeniable proof. A little while ago, RvB shared this bottle in my little bottle-share group, and thoroughly liking Blair Athol, I jumped on it. … Continue reading
