Glentauchers 2008-2024, Sherry cask, 51.7% – Liquid Art (10th Anniversary)
It feels like a million years ago when Bert Dexters got in touch about reviewing samples (it was about eight years…) but suddenly, at the end of 2024, there he was again. Liquid Art was celebrating their 10th anniversary with … Continue reading

Linkwood 27, 1987-2014, Rum Finished Hogshead, 47.3% – The Whisky Agency / The Perfect Dram
I met my befriended Linkwood supplier last Monday, and when things quieted down a little bit I immediately sat down to drink this sample he brought me. Normally this wouldn’t be a whisky I’d pick up since it’s a rum … Continue reading

Glen Moray 13, 2010-2024, Tokaji Wine Finish, 56% –
I was a bit surprised by the spelling of Tokaji, but apparently you can spell it with and without an I at the end. Anyway, I don’t have much experience with this type of cask. I know the Longrow from … Continue reading

Dalmunach 7, 2016, First Fill Buffalo Trace Barrel, 58.4% – Dràm Mòr
Imperial Distillery closed in 1998 after 101 years of service. Several years later, in 2013, the distillery got demolished and in 2015 a new distillery has risen in its place and starts distilling. Not entirely surprising, this distillery is Dalmunach. … Continue reading

Auchroisk 15, 2008-2024, First Fill Bourbon Barrel 816738, 54.1% – Dràm Mòr
Secretly, or maybe not so secretly, there are some true gems among the whiskies that normally end up in blends. Teaninich, Dailuaine, Benrinnes and Auchroisk are some that come to mind instantly, and I’ve had some real belters from those … Continue reading

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

Another one I tried at the Hielander Whisky Festival early this year. While chatting to Kenny of Dràm Mòr, we had a couple of drams. Some of them I already knew because of review activities, and wanted to try again … Continue reading

Benrinnes 10, 2013-2024, Refill Palo Cortado cask, 54.3% – Dràm Mòr
It’s been a shamefully long time since I got this sample in the mail. Viktorija and Kenny were kind enough to send some samples from the batch from spring to me and I left them hanging. There have been personal … Continue reading
