Glen Grant 25, 1993-2018, 50.8% – Cadenhead’s Club

Speyburn 1989-2013, 46% – Gordon & MacPhail
Speyburn. One of these rather unknown distilleries that’s not open to the general public, but who are trying to make headway with all kinds of cool Christmas marketing. At the end of 2017 I got one of those Christmas sweaters … Continue reading

Bowmore 1998-2013, 15yo, Refill Butt, 52.1% – The Whisky Agency
Sherried Bowmore from the nineties. I’m game! When this was released by The Whisky Agency in 2013, I immediately picked up a bottle. Based on previous experiences, and while they’re not guarantee for future success, I’m glad I took this … Continue reading

Bowmore Warehousemen’s Selection, 17yo, 1999, 51.3%
When I was on Islay, of course I didn’t just buy a shared bottle of Bunnahabhain Marsala Cask, we also went to Bowmore. We obviously went to Bowmore since we could see the distillery from our cottage, and it’s a … Continue reading

Inchmurrin 1996-2018, 51% – Malts of Scotland

Port Ellen 1979-2017, 37yo, 44.8% – Goren’s Whisky for Whisky Live Tel Aviv
It’s not often that I hold a bottle of Port Ellen in my hands. It’s far less often, even, that the bottle is mine. Now you have to take that literally, since it’s mostly the bottle itself that’s mine, and … Continue reading
