Posted on 2 December 2019 by

Yet another The Whisky Exchange exclusive bottling which I review from a sample provided by them. I’ve been given this and another one during Billy’s trip to Maltstock, which I sadly couldn’t visit myself. However, there was time for beers … Continue reading →

Bowmore 2000-2014, 54.4% – Signatory Vintage for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 9 September 2019 by

I really was happy with all these 2000 Bowmores. It started with a slew of them around 2009 from Berry Brother’s & Rudd. Then, a few years later this one came out, and if I remember correctly there were a … Continue reading →

Macallan 1990-2003, 12yo, 57.6% – Signatory Vintage

Posted on 5 May 2019 by

Yet another random sample I grabbed from my shelf before I went on holiday last week. On the label there was only the vintage and the ABV, so at least I knew I didn’t want to start with this one. … Continue reading →

1959 times two

Posted on 9 December 2018 by

This time around, Tom found another two ancient samples in his cupboard. That means we’re going back to ‘proper’ whisky, after the Loch Ewe shenanigans from last time!   The year 1959 has gotten so far out of sight, it … Continue reading →

The Return of the Queen

Posted on 22 September 2018 by

I like this guest-post thing, so when Tom van Engelen asked me if he could write one about Rosebank, one of his (and mine) favorite distilleries, I didn’t have to think about it for long! Read on!   A whisky … Continue reading →

Two Clynelishes from the mid-nineties

Posted on 13 June 2018 by

Ah, Clynelish. Another one of these Diageo distilleries that doesn’t release a lot under their own name (except for the great 14 year old and Distiller’s Edition). Of course, there is the occasional Select Reserve from 2014 and 2015, but … Continue reading →

BTC #14: Ledaig 11, 2005-2017, 58.6% – Signatory

Posted on 20 December 2017 by

Yes! Another zero pointer! I’m getting back to my usual self, apparently. Also, my Peatometer is broken. Or I’m having more of a cold than I though. Or my sample was weird. I don’t really think I can blame things … Continue reading →

Bowmore 2001, 15yo, 55.6% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 30 November 2017 by

This Bowmore did get a bit of talking about in a bottle share group I’m in. Mostly because it clocks in at 160 quid per bottle, which seems like a lot for a 15 year old Bowmore. This was extra … Continue reading →
