Whitlaw 10, 2013-2023, Oloroso Sherry Cask 1789, 47.5% – Càrn Mòr
For some unknown reason I though Whitlaw was an Autralian of New Zealand distillery. I have no idea where that comes from, but I was very wrong of course. I didn’t taste this exactly blind, but this did blind me … Continue reading

Burnside 28, 1991-2020, Bourbon Barrel 7367, 45% – C. Dully Selection
Yeah, another ‘blended malt’ from Balvenie Distillery. There’s a drop of something else, most likely Glenfiddich, in this one to declassify this as Single Malt. Of course, this generally is reflected in the price and many whisky fanatics know by … Continue reading

Clynelish 12, 2010-2023, 1st Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel, 58.7% – SMWS 26.126 (Madeleine a la Plage)
It’s been ages since I bought a bottle from SMWS. I tried some over the years but, and I think I’ve stated this before, it feels a bit silly to pay for a membership to a club to be allowed … Continue reading

Bowmore 9, 2014-2023, Refill Barrel DL 17953, 57.7% – Douglas Laing Old Particular for Gall & Gall
Generally, I am 100% unaware of what Gall & Gall, the largest chain of bottle shops in The Netherlands is doing. They tend to be insanely expensive with their whisky unless they’re discounting. Also, the offers on their website generally … Continue reading

Highland Single Malt 22, 1996-2023, Refill Bourbon Vatting Cask CD1-18, 54.7% – C. Dully Selection
I had, until recently, never heard of the C. Dully Selection, but it turns out to be a bottler from Switzerland. They’re trying to supply their friends and customers with old fashioned styles of whisky. The likes of which are … Continue reading

Teaninich 11, 2010-2022, Ex-Stout Barrel, 53.9% – Thompson Brothers
Whisky from beer casks always peeks my interest. I’m not entirely sure why, because on average, the experiences have not been great. The IPA cask from Chichibu was a very welcome exception and still a stellar dram. When this ‘Phil … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain Mòine 15, 2005-2021, PX Finish, 55.3% – The Duchess
This time it’s not Archives’ tropical fish, generally from around Samoa, but a more ‘local’ series of animals. Animals found in the United Kingdom, if I’m not mistaken, from Dutch independent bottler The Duchess. The label is, not entirely surprising, … Continue reading
