Uitvlugt 31, 1991-2023, ‘Time Travel’, Cask 32, 59.2% – Jack Tar
A few months ago I reviewed the sister cask of this one, which I thoroughly loved. So when this sample came in I was pretty thrilled about it! Of course, waiting for the right time took a few weeks but … Continue reading

Uitvlugt 30, 1991-2022, ‘Dreamcatcher’, Cask 3, 56% – Jack Tar
When digging through tasting notes I found this one from a sample I got a LONG time ago. Back in the day I probably thought it was a good idea to wait with posting this until I had something to … Continue reading
Long Pond rums, a 3 and a 22 year old
The 22 year old one is a bottling by Wu Dram Clan, which makes my expectations go way up to begin with. The age doesn’t bring it down either. Then the other one is a three year old from Habitation … Continue reading

Watt Whisky, in person
With a group of friends that I’ve known for almost 20 years, we go to Scotland more or less every two years. The previous trip was in 2018, to Islay, which meant the next one was planned for the spring … Continue reading
Tres Caroni, La Lune, Limbo y Le Soleil, by Jack Tar
A new bottler announced itself a little while ago. A few years ago that would have been something quite regular, but it’s happening less and less. Probably because of a rather full market and getting hold of barrels of anything … Continue reading
Finest Jamaican Rum, Over 25 Years Old, 50.1% – Wu Dram Clan
