Blended Scotch Whisky 42, 1976-2019, Oloroso Finish, 46.2% – The Maltman
This Blended Scotch Whisky consists of Ben Nevis, Clynelish, Teaninich, Macduff, Dailuaine and Invergordon. Not the least interesting names in the business! Also, while this states having had an Oloroso finish, what didn’t really fit the title, is that that … Continue reading

Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 27, 1992-2020, Refill Sherry Butt, 42% – The Maltman
I don’t really try whiskies from the Maltman that often. It’s one of those bottlers that I know exists and releases rather high-scoring drams, most of the time. But when push comes to shove I often have to make a … Continue reading

Dailuaine 13, 2007-2020, PX Sherry Finish, 52% – Maltman
The Maltman is one of those bottlers that showed up about a decade ago, at least on my radar they did. Since then they’ve been putting out quality whisky and aren’t shy of using good sherry casks. It seems there … Continue reading

A Highland Distillery 10yo, 2010-2020, Sherry Butt 2090, 54.8% – The Maltman
Where there always have been a lot of ‘secret Speyside’ releases over the last decades, there weren’t that many secret Highland version around. This has changed over the last couple of years with more and more distilleries not wanting their … Continue reading

Secret Speyside 2007-2018, 10yo, 55.2% – The Maltman
I’ve been told this bottling is a ten year old Macallan, but with how rare these things have become over the last couple of years I’m not 100% sure about that. Still, there’s a distinct possibility for it to be … Continue reading

Ben Nevis 21, 46%, 1990-2012 – The Maltman
I feel like I’ve tortured Frank (formerly from the MeWhisky blog) by not reviewing this earlier. He sent me this somewhere in (I think) February and I let him know right away that it was a damn fine whisky. Then … Continue reading

The whisky festival in Alkmaar, hosted by Wullie MacMorland of The Hielander Scottish Restaurant is usually the first official whisky event of the year. This year it is no different. Funnily enough I go there every year with different people. … Continue reading
