Arran Sherry Cask, bottled in 2022, 55.8%

Like the previous BenRiach, this one was used in a whisky tasting. I pitted it against is NAS sibling from bourbon casks, called ‘The Bothy’. I’ll review that one shortly. Apart from being on Arran last year, there’s not much … Continue reading

BenRiach ‘The Twelve’, Bourbon & Sherry & Port Casks, 46%

Another BenRiach I used for a tasting at work last year. A tasting where 22 people emailed me to join in and only 9 showed up. Yes, I’m still annoyed by that. Anyway, I used this BenRiach to compare unpeated … Continue reading

Tullibardine 8, 2015-2023, 1st Fill Oloroso Hogshead, 53.7% – Dràm Mòr

To be completely honest, I don’t have too much experience with Tullibardine. There are only four reviews of a dram from the distillery on the blog, in almost 13 years. I know that I really enjoyed the 12 Barrels one … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain Abhainn Araig, Feis Ile 2022, Bourbon + PX Octave Casks, 50.8%

Leave it up to me to enthusiastically buy a bottle of whisky, only to review it a year later. This Bunnahabhain was released for last year’s Feis Ile and much like several other brands the whisky is available through regular … Continue reading

Springbank 12, Cask Strength, Batch 24, 54.1%

Are we first? Did I publish in time and did Tom write in time? That’d be something, right? The review of the most recent Springbank 12 Cask Strength is here! Perfumed Pebbles Dubbed ‘batch 24’, this is the newest edition … Continue reading

Arran 18, Sherry casks, bottled 2021, 46%

Even though the distillery isn’t even 30 years old, I think Arran have been on the right track for quite a while. They’re not really doing anything all that different from many of the other distilleries, but they do things … Continue reading

Lagavulin 19, Feis Ile 2019, Sherry Treated American Oak Casks, 53.8%

Another Lagavulin for Feis Ile! I knew I had this on the shelf, and I had carefully sipped from my sample before, but never got around to writing a review yet. A good thing that a holiday came up a … Continue reading

3x Hooghoudt Genevers

I think it was last year that Hooghoudt revamped their entire line of products. An entire series was made available with all kinds of cask maturations and a widely varying age range. Of this range, I got to try three … Continue reading

Springbank 11, 2011-2022, Local Barley, 55.1%

With it being Liberation Day in the Netherlands, I decided to liberate the last of my sample of this from its bottle. I was lucky enough to do a bottle-share with this, after winning a ballot for it at AceDrinks. … Continue reading

Longrow 15, Oloroso Hogsheads, 56.2% – Open Day 2022

I’m glad this one only had a Whiskybase number on the side of the bottle instead of a full label. That would have caused much more anticipation and maybe would have been suggestive in to what to expect. Of course, … Continue reading
