Ailsa Bay 2011 / Ben Nevis 2012 (The Duchess)

Balblair 18, 2002-2020, Hogshead 20100, 51.7% – The Single Malts of Scotland (for Belgium)
Balblair is one of those distilleries that I have a soft spot for, even though their whiskies don’t often end up on my shelf. Their official releases are quite hard to get in The Netherlands, for some reason, and unofficial … Continue reading

Glentauchers 2008-2024, Sherry cask, 51.7% – Liquid Art (10th Anniversary)
It feels like a million years ago when Bert Dexters got in touch about reviewing samples (it was about eight years…) but suddenly, at the end of 2024, there he was again. Liquid Art was celebrating their 10th anniversary with … Continue reading

Linkwood 27, 1987-2014, Rum Finished Hogshead, 47.3% – The Whisky Agency / The Perfect Dram
I met my befriended Linkwood supplier last Monday, and when things quieted down a little bit I immediately sat down to drink this sample he brought me. Normally this wouldn’t be a whisky I’d pick up since it’s a rum … Continue reading

Glen Moray 13, 2010-2024, Tokaji Wine Finish, 56% –
I was a bit surprised by the spelling of Tokaji, but apparently you can spell it with and without an I at the end. Anyway, I don’t have much experience with this type of cask. I know the Longrow from … Continue reading

Lowrie’s Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky, 45.7% – Thompson Brothers
The thing that made this blended whisky stand out, apart from the fun label (a bit reminiscent of That Boutique-y Whisky Company) was that they partially matured the whisky on Campervan beer casks. I don’t have much experience with that … Continue reading

Imperial Distillery closed in 1998 after 101 years of service. Several years later, in 2013, the distillery got demolished and in 2015 a new distillery has risen in its place and starts distilling. Not entirely surprising, this distillery is Dalmunach. … Continue reading

Auchroisk 15, 2008-2024, First Fill Bourbon Barrel 816738, 54.1% – Dràm Mòr
Secretly, or maybe not so secretly, there are some true gems among the whiskies that normally end up in blends. Teaninich, Dailuaine, Benrinnes and Auchroisk are some that come to mind instantly, and I’ve had some real belters from those … Continue reading
