Ardmore 24, 1977-2004, Sherry Butt, 58.6% – Cadenhead
Generally I love Cadenhead. And also, I tend to love Ardmore. So when MvZ was pruning his collection and I could buy this bottle from him, quite a bit below current retail value, I jumped on it. Of course, it … Continue reading
Hazelburn 13, 2007-2021, 48.6%
Honestly, I don’t even know if this is an annual release, or this just pops up with regular Springbank batches. I’ve not kept track. What Whiskybase can tell me, though, is that this is comprised of bourbon casks (75%) and … Continue reading

Strathearn 4, 2014-2018, Ex-Sherry Cask 075, 56.6% – OB for Dutch Whisky Festival
The first edition of Dutch Whisky Festival came with a bottling of their own. In the end I didn’t end up going to the festival, although I don’t exactly remember why. Probably because of me or my wife being ill … Continue reading

Edradour 10, 2009-2020, Sherry Butt 401, 46% – Signatory
A little while I wanted a rather specific whisky that wasn’t available in ‘regular’ shops anymore. But, according to Whiskybase there was this shop in The Netherlands that still had it. It was called ‘Whisky Exclusive‘. In a way, that … Continue reading

Royal Brackla 13, 2006-2020, Sherry Hogshead 20-1301, 51.7% – Valinch & Mallet
I don’t try many Royal Bracklas, for some reason. Even though they seem to be getting a bit more regular from independent bottlers. And then this one recently showed up in the bag of a whisky buddy. Of course, a … Continue reading

Springbank 10, 46%
Currently, due to COVID-19 and Brexit, it’s pretty hard to get a bottle of Springbank 10 in The Netherlands. A lot of bottle-shops are running out since it’s a quite popular whisky, the distillery hasn’t been able to bottle casks … Continue reading
GlenDronach 1993-2012, Sherry Butt 1616, 59.2% – Hand-filled at the distillery
Unfortunately, this wasn’t hand-filled by me, but by whisky buddy SJ. He opened a bottle recently and was kind enough to give me a sample of it. I didn’t wait too long before tasting it, because it looked so gorgeous. … Continue reading

Springbank 23, 1996-2020, Fresh Sherry Hogshead 108, 47.3% – Private Bottling
Springbank of this age is getting expensive. While that is a well known fact nowadays, it seems that getting stuff like this for around € 400 is the best you can do, and there are quite some expressions (and therefore … Continue reading
