Laphroaig 15, 1998-2013, 60.8% – Signatory Vintage for The Whisky Exchange

Ledaig and Tobermory, a distillery that supposedly releases some kick-ass drams every now and then, but one that I’ve never fallen in love with. I’ve tried quite a lot of the young Ledaigs from a couple years ago and can’t … Continue reading

Glentauchers 16yo, 1997-2013, 54.3% – Gordon and Macphail for The Whisky Exchange

Bottoms Up!
Tonight a couple of friends and I are going to try and get my open-bottle-count down somewhat. Since I’ve been trying to do this on my own last year I found that a) it doesn’t work that well, and b) … Continue reading
