Laphroaig Càirdeas Triple Wood, 59.5% – OB for Feis Ile 2019
Another Feis Ile bottling. One I must I admit I had already forgotten about. I’m pulling from a backlog of tasting notes since I’ve not been tasting much the last few months. It’s only very occasionally that I feel my … Continue reading

Caol Ila 10, 58.2% – OB for Feis Ile 2018
As every year, there’s a Caol Ila Feis Ile bottling. Even this year there are bottlings, even though there was no festival due to COVID-19. Also as always, Diageo tries to come up with something they haven’t done before for … Continue reading
GlenAllachie 2008-2020, 11yo, 55.5% – OB for Denmark
I managed to get a sample of this PX cask GlenAllachie bottled for Denmark (thanks, GvB). Of course I didn’t write down all the details in time, which will show in the tasting notes… It was bottled this year, and … Continue reading
Kilkerran 8yo, Sherry Cask, 56.4% – Springbank Open Day 2016
For a change, this is not an old, forgotten sample from my cupboard. Which means as much as I knew I had it, but it still is old and from my cupboard, just not forgotten. A whisky friend went to … Continue reading

Arran 19, 1996-2015, 48.8% – Gleann Mór A Rare Find
Gleann Mór is one of those bottlers that are not available in The Netherlands, as far as I know. What put them on my radar quite a few years ago was that they bottled a Lagavulin. It’s virtually unheard of … Continue reading

Two American Whiskeys finished in sherry casks by 3006
3006 is a newish bottler that showed up some years ago. I read something about then but then forgot about the brand again, until recently. RvB shared these two American Whiskeys, one finished in a PX octave, and another in … Continue reading

Kilchoman 2007-2016, 8yo, 56.6% – OB for Feis Ile 2016
Four years ago I bought samples of almost all Feis Ile bottlings, along with some samples from the Campbeltown Festival. This is not one of those cases where I completely forgot about the samples and found them again, but mostly … Continue reading
Glenrothes 19, 1997-2017, 58.8% – Whiskybase
On of these 10,000*n bottles of Whiskybase. One I’ve had on my shelf for a while and never really got into, or got around to reviewing. In the end I sold some samples and it still took me three years … Continue reading
Annandale 2016, Man O’ Sword, Founders’ Selection, 61.1%
So, my first Annandale review! I was quite excited when a new Lowlands distillery was announced. Between Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie there wasn’t too much there. At the time Bladnoch wasn’t doing much and Ailsa Bay and Daftmill weren’t releasing much, … Continue reading
Caol Ila 9yo, 2010-2020, 52.3% – Signatory Vintage for Kirsch Import
To say there have been an epic amount of single cask Caol Ila between the age of 5 and 15 the last couple of years is an understatement. I don’t a single bottler has been skipped, unless they didn’t want … Continue reading
