For the 20th anniversary of The Whisky Exchange a few bottlings have been released so far. I rather vividly remember some of their releases for the tenth anniversary. Back then I did a bottle-share with that Clynelish 37, Hakushu 20 … Continue reading
Bunnahabhain 1975, 36yo, 53.5% – Jack Wiebers
In one of the scavenger hunts through the remainder of my samples I found this wee baby. A couple of centiliters from 45 years ago, bottled a rather long while ago by now. These old Bunnahabhains are a light and … Continue reading

anCnoc 18yo, 46%

Ben Nevis 27, 1990-2018, 58.9% – Le Gus’t
