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
Clynelish 23, 1995-2019, Refill Sherry Butt 11242, 56.4% – Signatory
At our last visit to the Hielander Whisky Festival, my father-in-law found another Clynelish he loved. He already has a weak spot for the distillery, and finding an exceptional one is always a treat. Of course, you don’t spend € … Continue reading
Edradour 10, 2009-2020, Sherry Butt 401, 46% – Signatory
A little while I wanted a rather specific whisky that wasn’t available in ‘regular’ shops anymore. But, according to Whiskybase there was this shop in The Netherlands that still had it. It was called ‘Whisky Exclusive‘. In a way, that … Continue reading

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

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