Caol Ila 1990, 28yo, 48% – The Whisky Nerds
I always get a little excited when a new Whisky Nerds bottling is announced. So far, all they’ve bottled is about the best you can spend you booze-allocated-money on. The Lagavulin was a bit of an exception, since it was … Continue reading

Speyburn 2004-2018, 52.5% – OB for Boomsma NL
I wrote a little introduction to Speyburn distillery a little while ago and I thought about copying it here. You know, just to check if people read with a bit of attention and notice. Anyway, this whisky was released last … Continue reading
