Dufftown 1979, 18yo, 57.1% – Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

BenRiach 11, 2008-2020, Sherry Hogshead, 55.9% – Cadenhead

Bowmore 1995-2012, 16yo, 54.4% – Adelphi
If there are any regulars and they’ve read some earlier posts on Bowmores from the mid-nineties, they probably know I really love these vintages. 1993 is always the much laureled vintage, but I generally prefer 1995 and 1996 for a … Continue reading
Old Pulteney, 1999-2019, 19yo, 56.5% – Gordon & MacPhail
