Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch, 2021 vs 2024
The simple fact that the first one is from 2021, while I could have sworn it was just a little while ago I bought it, makes me feel so very old. I feel it in my bones. Every year Four … Continue reading

Four Roses 12, 55.7%, Limited Edition Small Batch 2020
Every year a batch of this limited edition is released, and every year they’re rather popular. At least, that used to be the case. For some reason, the 2020 edition that came out last year didn’t do too much initially. … Continue reading

Glen Moray 24, 1992-2017, 50.9% – Cadenhead
Glen Moray is one of those distilleries that make an amazing spirit, but in their own releases there’s often so much done to it, that it loses its greatness. A quick search on the internet reveals there’s a Cabernet, Sherry, … Continue reading

BTC Sample 17: Glenrothes 1990-2015, 24yo, 55.7%, Cadenhead’s
Yesterday I was convinced this was a young-ish, high octane belter from the SMWS. It turns out to be a not-insanely-high-strength Glenrothes with some decent age to it. Maybe I should just get out of this hobby all together… Anyway, … Continue reading

Glenrothes 1990-2015, 24yo, 55.7% – Cadenhead’s Small Batch

Blind Tasting Competition 15: Bladnoch 21yo, 1992-2004, 54.9% – Cadenhead Small Batch
