Hazelburn 12, 2010-2022, Fresh Oloroso Sherry Cask, 49.9%
The fourth dram in the Blind Tasting Competition was another zero-pointer for me (you’ll quickly discover this to be a recurring theme…). While I guessed this to be a decent older Speyside whisky, it turned out to be Hazelburn, which … Continue reading

Ledaig 7, 2014-2022, 1st Fill Spinola PX Cask, 57.4% – Murray McDavid
Even though it says on the label that it’s a mystery malt, it also says it’s Mull’s Finest, and it’s a peated whisky. Ergo, Ledaig. This time, I did know what the distillery was based on what it tasted like. … Continue reading

Inchgower 14, 2007-2022, First Fill Sherry Hogshead, 58.5% – Adelphi for WIN
Apparently, an Inchgower was bottled for Whisky Import Nederland last year. I might have seen it back then, but I don’t think I really picked up on it. I know for sure I didn’t pick up a bottle for sharing, … Continue reading

This Connoisseurs Choice bottling, done for Whisky Warehouse in Germany is a bottle I picked up in Luxemburg earlier this year, at Shopping Center Massen. If you’ve never been there and enjoy either good non-beer booze, or dry aged beef, … Continue reading

Seven Stars 30, 2023 release, 48.2% – Cadenhead’s
This blended whisky is a bit of a call back to brands that Cadenhead’s ran years ago. They used to have a 12 year old, back when proof was measured instead of ABV, and the contents were in ounces. And … Continue reading

Couvreur Pale Single Single, 12yo, Fino cask, 45%
My friend RvB often goes to the Morvan region of Burgundy in France for holiday reasons. In Autun, there’s a rather awesome bottle shop that has an extended whisky selection. So, every now and then a bottle comes this way, … Continue reading

Kilkerran 8 from Bourbon and Sherry casks, 55.8% and 57.5%
So, these became available earlier this year, but they’re not from the same batch. The Bourbon cask matured one is from Batch 8, the other one from Batch 9. A bit weird, but with the Dutch importer of Springbank, you … Continue reading

The Lakes, The Whiskymaker’s Reserve No. 5, 2022, Oloroso, PX and Red Wine casks, 52%
I think this is the first time I have had an English whisky in my collection. I’ve had Dutch, German, French, Scottish (duh), Irish, Japanese, Australian, South African, Mexican, Canadian, Swedish, Finnish, and I’m probably forgetting some. But not yet … Continue reading

Edradour 12, 2011-2023, Oloroso Sherry Butts, 57.8% – Batch 1
So, as it turns out Edradour has also jumped on the ‘we now make a sherried cask strength version of our whisky’ bandwagon. Similar to Glengoyne, GlenDronach, and many others. There is a big difference though, because Edradour put an … Continue reading
Amrut Bagheera, Batch 1, Sherry Cask Finish, 46%
Apparently, Bagheera is Indian for panther, and until this whisky came out I didn’t know that. To me it was the panther in The Jungle Book, and nothing else. Anyway, this whisky, released three years ago is an Amrut, which … Continue reading
