Springbank 23, 1996-2020, Fresh Sherry Hogshead 108, 47.3% – Private Bottling
Springbank of this age is getting expensive. While that is a well known fact nowadays, it seems that getting stuff like this for around € 400 is the best you can do, and there are quite some expressions (and therefore … Continue reading
GlenAllachie 12, 2008-2021, PX Hogshead 847, 54.1% – OB for Passion for Whisky
This limited edition GlenAllachie was released a couple of months ago by Passion for Whisky, and to nobody’s surprise it sold out rather quickly. I was conscious enough to order a bottle in time, and of course it was bottle-shared. … Continue reading

Kilchoman 2007, 10yo, Sherry cask, 58.5% – The Whisky Exchange Exclusive
The first non-Springbank review of the year! I’ve not been blogging as much as I’d like, but let’s just hope to remedy that soon. Earlier this week I got a package from The Whisky Exchange containing a sample of this … Continue reading

English Whisky Co. Classic, 53.4% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
It’s been a while since I got my hands on a sample of this, and it’s been almost as long since I actually wrote the tasting notes. Somehow, I’m just not getting around to blogging, lately. The coming days in … Continue reading
GlenDronach 1995, 19yo, PX Puncheon, 55.4% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
This GlenDronach was released a little while before TWE’s The Whisky Show together with the BenRiach I already reviewed. That BenRiach was a great dram and I saw a reviewer of this GlenDronach also being quite enthusiastic. It does seem, … Continue reading

Arran 2000-2015, 14yo, 55.5% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
Arran is on a roll the last year or two. There have been so many private bottlings you’d almost start wondering if they’re keeping anything for themselves any longer. Almost every independent bottler or bigger shop or importer has had … Continue reading

BenRiach 1998, 17yo PX Finish, 48.9% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
At Maltstock I generally trade a lot of booze with other people. For some I bring samples, for others bottles. And for Billy Abbott of The Whisky Exchange, I normally bring a few beers and whatever I’ve got lying around … Continue reading

GlenDronach 20yo, 1994-2014, Cask #3400, 54.8% – Bottled for Abbey Whisky
Last year I tried a GlenDronach that I really regret not getting a bottle of. Strangely though, I tried again in the Blind Tasting Competition and I wasn’t fond of it. Others had the same experience but upon trying that … Continue reading
