Longmorn 1968 – Gordon & MacPhail Reserve
The second Longmorn on an evening and quite a different one. Not only did this one stand out in colour (it was much less brown and much more yellow), but the flavour profile varied a bit too! Nose: Wood at … Continue reading
Longmorn 1966 – Gordon & MacPhail Reserve
I recently tasted the 5 old Longmorn releases done by Gordon & MacPhail which were selected by Han van Wees, from the Van Wees importer and whisky specialist. One of these bottles was available to taste during the Pot Still … Continue reading
Two ancient Longmorns
To kick off a week and a bit of Longmorn reviews, a combined post of one full review and one very short one. I got into a bit of an odd situation when Govert, one of the ‘Longmorn Brothers‘ and … Continue reading

BTC: Sample 13 (Longmorn 25, 50%)
To continue my flow down the charts (not up, unfortunately), I decided to taste two samples in one sitting yesterday. That way, I don’t necessarily have to taste one tonight, and that might be practical with my planning. We’re up … Continue reading

BTC: Sample 8 (Longmorn 16, 60%)

Longmorn 12 – Bladnoch Forum
I found this little sample sitting around my sample shelf and couldn’t find a review of it yet. Apparently, I am messing things up a bit in that department, since I was certain this had been reviewed about a year … Continue reading
Caperdonich 1972-2010 – Duncan Taylor
And a third Caperdonich 1972. Life’s tough! Fulco, one of the guys from the Usquebaugh Society and a steady co-host of the regional tastings brought me a sample of this one. I didn’t mind at all! Nose: Sweet and woody … Continue reading
Caperdonich 1972-2008 – Gordon & MacPhail Reserve
After the ‘Perfect Dram’ Caperdonich I thought it would be great to try a few more Caperdonichs. I had a sample already from Pats Wine & Spirits, which I bought earlier but didn’t taste yet. This sample comes from Gordon … Continue reading
Caperdonich 1972 – The Perfect Dram
Well this is it. At least, currently, this should be it. According to ‘the internet’ Caperdonich is hot, especially when its from 1972. This one should be especially terrific according to Johan, Ruben and Serge. Am I worthy? Nose: What … Continue reading
Longmorn 34 – TWA
The second one from the TWA Bottle-Share, and another oldie. This time a Longmorn, of which I usually like whisky from long ago, but not necessarily old. Let’s give this one a try and hope its better than the SMWS … Continue reading
