I right up stole that title from Thijs’ blog… The Duchess is releasing two new single cask whiskies today. Most likely at noon, which is five minutes from typing this, and probably a couple of minutes ago by the time … Continue reading

Ardnamurchan 7, 2024, 57.1% – WhiskySponge #100
For the one-hundredth, and final, bottling under the WhiskySponge name, Angus MacRaild chose an Ardnamurchan. In this case it’s a peated and sherry cask matured one, bottled at 100 proof (coincidence?). The result of this choice is a rather well … Continue reading

GlenDronach Parliament “21 years old”, 48%
The quotation marks are because the age of this whisky is not what is says. This one was bottled in 2022, which means distillation would have happened around 2020/2021. However, at that time the distillery was closed and not producing … Continue reading

Duich (Tamdhu) 8, 2016-2024, 1st Fill PX Cask 30369, 57.2% – Dràm Mòr
Apparently Duich is another name for Tamdhu Distillery, to be used by independent bottlers. I didn’t know that until recently, and it’s another one to be added to the dictionary, next to things like Burnside, Westport, and certainly others that … Continue reading

Benrinnes 10, 2013-2024, Refill Palo Cortado cask, 54.3% – Dràm Mòr
It’s been a shamefully long time since I got this sample in the mail. Viktorija and Kenny were kind enough to send some samples from the batch from spring to me and I left them hanging. There have been personal … Continue reading

Another 2 Old Pulteneys, this time the Distillery Only bottlings from 2022
And by ‘the’ distillery only bottlings, I mean the two casks that were available at the end of October 2022. A bourbon cask one, and a sherry cask one, both at rocket fuel like ABVs. When I was there with … Continue reading
