Dufftown 1979-1998, 57.1% – Cadenhead’s
As a thank you for hosting the Blog Birthday Bash (which I still haven’t blogged about) I got a sample of this from whisky friend MvZ. He is a guy that focuses on old whisky, with shifting interests. There was … Continue reading

Balvenie Peat Week, 2002-2017, 14yo, 48.3%
Balvenie produces a very lightly peated whisky throughout the year, but once every year (since 2002 at least) they’ve been producing heavily peated whisky. The first whisky of this ‘Peat Week’ program was released last year. Ever since visiting Balvenie … Continue reading
Caperdonich 39, 1977-2017, 50.4% – Cadenhead’s 175th Anniversary
