Balcones Single Malt, 2yo, Rum Cask Finish batch SMR20-1, 62%
Aged at least 35 months in oak, according to the label. Why they wouldn’t leave it for a couple more days and bottle it as a 3 year old is a bit baffling, but still. Again, one of these bottlings … Continue reading

Ardmore 8, 2011-2020, Rum Barrel Finish, 59% – King Cask
It’s not overly complicated to get me enthusiastic about whisky. That’s true in general, but for some distilleries it’s a bit more than usual. Ardmore is one of those distilleries, especially if not too much weirdness has been done to … Continue reading
Teeling 23, 1998-2022, Rum Cask 100040, 49.3% – Hand-Filled at the Distillery
Hot on the heels of Michiel Wigman’s Teeling single cask there is another one. My friend Tom van Engelen visited Dublin recently, and brought back this single cask from the distillery. A rum cask, of no less than 23 years … Continue reading
