WhistlePig 12, Fiji Rum Cask, 43% – OB for Cane & Grain
A couple of months ago Whiskybase was having their Dutch Auction discount and I managed to snag this one up, among at least one other bottle. American whisky (or Canadian, because that is what the distillery started with) isn’t overly … Continue reading

Distillery 291 Rye, bottled in 2018, 49.9% – That Boutique-y Whisky Company

Kyrö Distillery, a triptych
Imagine a bunch of sweaty, middle-aged men sitting in a sauna with a dram. I am not one for saunas, but I can imagine the banter happening, and the idea of making ones own whisky isn’t too far fetched. To … Continue reading
Willett 2yo, ~2015, Family Estate Bottled Small Batch Rye, 54.8%
This bottling, which I bought in 2014 is finally empty. I opened it ages ago, and then it got forgotten. As in, it just sat there on the shelf waiting to be tasted, reviewed and emptied. A recent sample request … Continue reading

Heaven’s Door Straight Rye Whiskey, Toasted oak cigar barrels, 43%
Right. Toasted Oak Cigar Barrels. They don’t really disclose what this means on the website, apart from the barrels being air dried in the Vosges region of France. This is remarkable for two reasons: Why would they dry casks in … Continue reading

Zuidam Millstone 2009, 7yo, Rye, 52.7% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
The Whisky Exchange have a knack for finding some good casks in distilleries that aren’t that common to find in shops like The Whisky Exchange. They seem to have a preference for Zuidam’s Millstone too, since this is already the … Continue reading

Waldviertler Pure Rye Malt, 41%
