Glenburgie 25, 1995-2020, Hogshead 6543, 52.9% – Signatory Vintage
During COVID (yes, again) there were a lot of Glenburgies being released. Most of them were distilled in the mid-nineties and they tend to make for gorgeously fruity drams. It should come as no surprise that some of these bottles … Continue reading

Glen Grant 23, 2000-2023, First Fill Sherry Butt 4, 57.3% – Signatory Vintage for Wu Dram Clan
Every time a Wu Dram Clan bottling is announced, I get a bit of a rush. Especially with these older ones they have set the bar so high, and so far they’ve managed to keep it there. This one was … Continue reading

Glenlivet 34, 1981-2016, Hogshead 9454, 51.1% – Signatory Vintage
So, when this was released in 2016 is accidentally was placed online at Master of Malt for just 100 quid. Of course, I instantly bought a bottle, and five minutes later it was taken offline, only to reappear at the … Continue reading

Secret Speyside 17, 2005-2023, First Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt, 58.1% – Signatory Vintage
According to everyone on the internet, this is a Macallan. The little (m) on the label also suggests that, since there’s not too many distilleries with an M out there. Macallan, Macduff, Mannochmore, Miltonduff and Mortlach. Of course, four of … Continue reading

Laphroaig 13, 1992-2005, Bourbon Cask 3407, 59.5% – Signatory Vintage
Back when I started my whisky adventure I used to visit De Whiskykoning on a very regular basis (some say a too regular basis). After discovering Islay whiskies and cask strength independent casks, so fairly quickly, I was doubting between … Continue reading

Port Ellen 27, 1983-2010, Refill Butt 517, 59% – Signatory Vintage
It’s been a while since I tried a Port Ellen. Not overly surprising with the distillery being closed for 40 years now. And because of that I expect that the frequency will go down further, until it hits the frequency … Continue reading

Glenburgie 27, 1995-2022, Hogshead 6668, 57.7% – Signatory Vintage for Wu Dram Clan
The last of the three bottlings for Wu Dram Clan’s third anniversary. I wonder whether they picked three because there’s three of them, or because they’re three years old. If it’s the latter, we’re in for some interesting follow up … Continue reading

Caperdonich 22, 2000-2022, Hogshead 29490, 55.2% – Signatory Vintage for Wu Dram Clan
I looked through my tasting notes but I doubt I can do a ‘Closed Distilleries’ theme week now. I guess it will be Speyside then! That’s an easy one with half the Scottish distilleries being there. This bottling was recently … Continue reading

To celebrate their third anniversary, Wu Dram Clan released three very different whiskies. A Caperdonich, a Glenburgie and an Unnamed Islay. The Islay one is reviewed today, the other two will follow shortly, but with a week of Islay whiskies … Continue reading

Clynelish 23, 1995-2019, Refill Sherry Butt 11252, 55.4% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange
While initially it seemed like 1997 was going to be one of ‘those’ vintages for Clynelish, by now it seems to have been surpassed by 1995. Especially by Signatory bottlings, to be a little bit more precise. A while ago … Continue reading
