Strathisla 15, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail
While you can’t really see it in the title, this is some old shit. I got this in a recent sample swap and on that label, much like this title, it didn’t really say what it was. My first thought … Continue reading
Glen Moray 11, 55.2% – Kyrburg Selection
A very random bottling for a German whisky museum. Why Kyrburg would have a whisky museum is beyond me, but apparently it’s a thing. I got a sample from this last week, in a glass, and I had to quickly … Continue reading
Glenrothes 19, 1997-2017, 58.8% – Whiskybase
On of these 10,000*n bottles of Whiskybase. One I’ve had on my shelf for a while and never really got into, or got around to reviewing. In the end I sold some samples and it still took me three years … Continue reading
Glentauchers 18, 1996-2015, 48% – Claxton’s
18 year old Glentauchers should be pretty good right? Especially when bottled at 48%, which just happens to be my sort-of favorite spot for spirits to be bottled at. It’s also from a bourbon cask, so we should be getting … Continue reading
Secret Speyside 1994-2020, 26yo, 48.1% – WhiskyNerds
Little over a week ago the newest releases by WhiskyNerds were released. This time it’s a secret speyside and a Ledaig. Secret Speyside if often Glenfarclas, but as with most of these releases, a lot is based on assumption. In … Continue reading

Secret Speyside 1993-2020, 47.7% – Michiel Wigman
The fourth (or third, depending on how you look at it) of Michiel Wigman’s own whisky bottlings. Anyway, it was part of the second batch of two whiskies. Another of these secret distilleries that are so popular currently, with every … Continue reading

Burnt Ends, Blended Whisk(e)y, 45%
I managed to get a sample of this through NR, who I used to be in a whisky club with, some years ago. So thanks where thanks is due! This thing is called Burnt Ends to tie in with the … Continue reading

Linkwood 13, 2006-2020, 58.4% – Signatory Vintage
I think this was the first Linkwood in my collection, ever. It’s a recent release that came out a month or two ago, when the lockdown was just in place and my passion for whisky was rekindling. I might blog … Continue reading
