My favorite whiskies of 2014
I started doing my end-of-year lists yesterday with the music one. I love doing that since it makes me reconsider what I’m listening to for a large part of every day, and everybody else does their lists first so I get … Continue reading

It’s time to start wrapping up the year with all the semi-obligatory year’s end lists. Those will follow over the coming week. There’ll be a list of my favorite music, whisky, events, other booze and whatever comes to mind. Of … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 18: Imperial 18yo, 1995-2014, 52.4% – Signatory for Asta Morris
So, the final night of this year’s Blind Tasting Competition is upon us. This year, like last year I’ve sucked. This year, unlike last year, there we no ridiculous casks like Lepanto Brandy cask matured Deanston and no ancient ‘nobody … Continue reading

Laphroaig 15, 1998-2013, 60.8% – Signatory Vintage for The Whisky Exchange
Apparently I was wrong about the amount of samples of bottlings for The Whisky Exchange I had lying around. The mistake was made when I only counted samples that TWE had sent me, instead of just all of them. This … Continue reading

Mortlach 1995-2013, 18yo, casks 4079+4780, 46% – Signatory
Mortlach. The distillery that might have gotten the most flack from the blogging community, and raving reviews from the more professional media outlets this year. Their newly released range is pricy but supposedly good. An easy Google query can get … Continue reading
Clynelish 13yo, 1989-2002, 56%, South African Sherry Butt – Signatory Vintage
Now this is a curious whisky. Technically, if we take all claimed regions and products in account there is no such thing as South African Sherry. Now it’s very possible to create something exactly the same and call it differently … Continue reading

Port Ellen 10, 43%, 1983-1993 – Signatory’s Scottish Wildlife
When I was given this wee sample I was baffled. A friend came up to me at Maltstock and told me to try it. A 10 year old Port Ellen! That’s at least a 20 year old bottle, and then … Continue reading

Glentauchers 30yo, 1981, 55.8%, La Maison du Whisky
A 30 year old single cask Glentauchers, who’d have thought! As Gal said on his review of this whisky yesterday, I haven’t had many Glentauchers. A few more than him, mostly because our club bottled a rather filthy one two … Continue reading

Caol Ila 27yo, 1984, 56.1% – Signatory for LMDW
About two weeks ago I got a package in the mail with whisky samples from Israel. Not Israeli whisky, since that doesn’t exist yet, but random samples. It was sent to me by Shai Applbaum, a recently ‘acquired’ Facebook and … Continue reading
The Blog Birthday Bash #3
Another year, another party. Since last year worked out really well, I decided to do it kind of the same this time around. Booze and barbecue. Last Saturday was the exact date I started blogging three years ago, on a … Continue reading
