Blended Malt 38, 1977-2015, 45.4% – Creative Whisky Company
Back in 2015 David Stirk released the David Rampling Series. A series of 12 bottlings with special labels by David Rampling. It’s all about falcons with this artist, so it’s not overly surprising that the labels all contain those. Since … Continue reading
Jameson 18, Bottled in 2018, Bow Street Cask Strength, 55.3%
With this being a slightly more rare Irish whisky, it would make sense that MvZ supplied me with the sample I tried. However, I don’t see his rating on Whiskybase, so I’m second guessing myself. While it’s far from the … Continue reading
Ryggia Inaugura Release, 2019-2022, Maple Syrup, Red Wine, Cognac and Moscatel casks, 61.7% – Bruges Whisky Company
If I were in charge, inaugural releases would always consist of refill bourbon so that the distillery character gets as much spotlight as it can. Simply to show what you’re about and not hide anything behind the influence of previous … Continue reading
Inchfad 16, Bottled in 2023, PX Finish, 53.2% – Dràm Mòr
When Ralfy’s review of this whisky popped up I watched it, and it was the first one I watched in ages. I immediately ordered a bottle (although I should check with the shop, since it’s not in yet). Of course, … Continue reading
Ardnamurchan 6, 2016-2023, 1st Fill American Oak PX Sherry Butt, 60.6% – SMWS 149.3 (A Walk in the Woods)
Even though I think Ardnamurchan is a distillery that is doing very, very well, they don’t often find their way to my shelf. It maybe has to do with me not paying attention, or simply that there’s so much out … Continue reading
Springbank 11, 2011-2023, Fresh Sherry Rotation 155, 56.7% – Duty Paid Sample
A ‘Duty Paid Sample’ of 70cl, or as it is commonly known, a ‘Cage Bottling’. Erik E/H. brought this over last year, and shared this one with the group. And as is quite well known to returning readers, I love … Continue reading
Lagg Corriecravie, Sherry Cask Finish, 55%
While trying to focus on all kinds of townships and locations on the Isle of Arran, Lagg have taken to the smallest named settlements they could find, or so it seems. Corriecravie is a couple of minutes west of the … Continue reading
Whitlaw 10, 2013-2023, Oloroso Sherry Cask 1789, 47.5% – Càrn Mòr
For some unknown reason I though Whitlaw was an Autralian of New Zealand distillery. I have no idea where that comes from, but I was very wrong of course. I didn’t taste this exactly blind, but this did blind me … Continue reading
Springbank 24, Open Day 2023, Oloroso & Port, 47.6%
It’s been quiet on the blog here. Mostly due to me being insanely busy with work and preoccupied with other, non-whisky things. In all honesty, I have missed having time to sit down with a couple of drams, so I’m … Continue reading
