Bruichladdich 1986-1996, 57.2% – Scott’s Selection
So, three days ago I talked about starting off 2023 with reviews of some Islay whiskies. Somehow, in my mind this transformed into a week of ‘old’ Islay whiskies and that is obviously not something I can keep up. There … Continue reading

Mannochmore 1978-1996, 60.3% – Scott’s Selection
It’s always nice to find background information to certain bottlings. Like this label stating ‘oakwood casks’, contrary to all kinds of whisky that was matured in other kinds of wood. Oh, wait. That doesn’t exist in the world of Scotch… … Continue reading

Port Ellen 19, 1977-1996, 58.9% – Scott’s Selection
Sometimes you realize you have some rather interesting tasting notes lying around. Stuff you tried but for some reason haven’t written about yet. By ‘you’ I mean me, because I realize most people do not write whisky blogs, although it … Continue reading

Caol Ila 1981-2011, 61.7% – Scott’s Selection
1981 Caol Ila. Apart from me being born in that year, and my wife as well, some other fairly great things happened too. One of the things that interest me most is the vast amount of awesome Caol Ila that … Continue reading

Longmorn 1968-2003 – Scott’s Selection (USA)
A very well aged version of a Longmorn bottled for the USA market. Apparently there have been a couple good ones for the USA since this is the 3rd one I’ve tasted that trickled back to Europe. Nose: Full frontal … Continue reading
Longmorn-Glenlivet 1967-2004 – Scott’s Selection
Not the kick-ass Longmorn I tasted at the Hielander Whisky Festival last week, but an ancient dram nonetheless. I got a sample from this from Dick de Jong a while ago and hadn’t gotten around to tasting it yet. Nose: … Continue reading
