Tobermory 21, Oloroso Finish, 46.3%
The second whisky from the autumn tasting, which seems to be well timed for a review since it’s about 30 degrees out here, is this Tobermory. A bottling that’s been available for a couple of years by now, and once … Continue reading

Royal Brackla 18, Palo Cortado Finish, 46%
This whisky was part of De Whiskykoning’s Autumn tasting from last year. In the middle of all the lockdowns there were sample packs instead of physical tastings with a bit of Youtube guidance. Good fun, although a bit less interactive … Continue reading

2 Starwards from ‘private’ casks
Private between quotation marks because even though one of them is a real private cask, the other one is a bottling done for ‘The Netherlands’. While that is fairly limited in availability, it’s not really private. Anyway, Starward Distillery, from … Continue reading

Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde, 2 Bunnahabhains by Boogieman Import
Apart from the story of Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde, there is some background to be given to the whiskies here. In this case, the whiskies are two very different sides to the same coin, sort of. Both are Bunnahabhains, … Continue reading

Caol Ila 10, 2011-2022, Sherry Hogshead 5846, 57.5% – WhiskyNerds
It’s been a while but it is time for another WhiskyNerds bottling. A cask selected by Bram and Floris for the Dutch market, and in that market only selected retailers. Mostly, that boils down to the shops that the Nerds … Continue reading
Springbank 11, 2006-2018, Fresh Sherry Hogshead, 59.6%
And now for one of the most useless reviews ever… This is one of those obscure Cage bottlings from Springbank, where you can get a one-off in their shop, and it will never see its likeness again. The full information … Continue reading

Glencadam 19, 1990-2010, Bourbon/Sherry Cask 5984, 56.3% – A.D. Rattray
Well, this obviously wasn’t really a single cask, was it? It came from one cask, but before it was in that one, it was in another cask. I’ve heard, but am not sure 100% about it, that the SWA is … Continue reading

Glenfarclas 31, 1988-2020, Oloroso casks, 46% – ‘Flora MacDonald
According to what I can find on the internet when I search for ‘Glenfarclas Famous Scots’, this is the 24th jubilee edition of the series. However, what the other 24 are seems to be shrouded in mystery. The bottling is … Continue reading
