Duich (Tamdhu) 8, 2016-2024, 1st Fill PX Cask 30369, 57.2% – Dràm Mòr
Apparently Duich is another name for Tamdhu Distillery, to be used by independent bottlers. I didn’t know that until recently, and it’s another one to be added to the dictionary, next to things like Burnside, Westport, and certainly others that … Continue reading

Bushmills 21, 2001-2022, Ex-Bourbon Casks, Times 2! – Lichtburg / Rolf Kaspar

Linkwood 12, 2010-2022, First Fill Bourbon Cask 309279, 55.5% – Finn Thomson
Finn Thomson, not to be confused with the ThomPson brothers, but also a bottler of Scotch whisky. In sort-of fancy hexagonal bottles (or was is an octagon?). Anyway, the bottle came in a tube similarly ‘gonal’, which made the tube … Continue reading

Glenlivet Nàdurra 16, Bottled in 2007, Batch 0407C, 59.7%
Back in the day, when I still was innocent and unspoiled I bought a bottle of this at De Whiskykoning. I absolutely loved it, the fruitiness, the fierceness, the differentiation of what Glenlivet was known for. The entire package spoke … Continue reading

When Ralfy’s review of this whisky popped up I watched it, and it was the first one I watched in ages. I immediately ordered a bottle (although I should check with the shop, since it’s not in yet). Of course, … Continue reading
