Orkney 18yo, 54.6% – The Whisky Exchange’s Black Friday
Yet another embargoed sample, which is something The Whisky Exchange loves to do. It works. I get all giddy when it comes in, and they get a lot of press on the day the whisky actually comes out. This entire … Continue reading

Ben Nevis 21, 47.5% – The Whisky Show Exclusive (Past Future)
Past Future obviously sounds weird. This is the first of a triptych by, I want to say, The Whisky Exchange. But it’s bottled for The Whisky Show of last weekend. Bottled by Speciality Drinks or Elixir Distillers. I’ve lost track … Continue reading

Old Pulteney 2004-2018, Cask 128, 62.1% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
Old Pulteney is an underrated distillery, in most cases. People now know that older versions, like the 1990 or 1989 that won Jim Murray’s Best Whisky thingy, are good, but there’s a lot more that’s good from the Wick distillery. … Continue reading

Croftengea (Loch Lomond) 2008-2018, 9yo, 54.8% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
The Whisky Exchange have been bottling some nice stuff over the last couple of months. The most recent one, apart from this Croftengea, is an Old Pulteney from 2004, which I *just* realized I haven’t reviewed yet. Shame on me. … Continue reading

Kilchoman 2007, 10yo, Sherry cask, 58.5% – The Whisky Exchange Exclusive
The first non-Springbank review of the year! I’ve not been blogging as much as I’d like, but let’s just hope to remedy that soon. Earlier this week I got a package from The Whisky Exchange containing a sample of this … Continue reading

Bowmore 2001, 15yo, 55.6% – Signatory for The Whisky Exchange
This Bowmore did get a bit of talking about in a bottle share group I’m in. Mostly because it clocks in at 160 quid per bottle, which seems like a lot for a 15 year old Bowmore. This was extra … Continue reading
