Tomatin 21, bottled in 2020, Travel Retail Exclusive, 46%
Another COVID leftover. This one, like many others, was bought to be part of a tasting. At this point, I’m not even sure that ever happened, but the bottle did end up in my collection during lockdown. Anyway, Tomatin can … Continue reading
Tomatin 21, 1st Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrels, 46% – OB for Travel Retail
With things being as they are, this seems a completely random bottle to buy, but somehow I did buy it. I planned to use it last year, in a tasting of some sort, but ended up not doing that for … Continue reading
Bowmore 100 Degrees Proof, 57.1%

Highland Park 21, 47.5%
I was able to pick up this bottle some years ago, before they went down to 40%, so way before they went back up to 47.5%. My sister went somewhere through duty free and called which bottle to bring. This … Continue reading

Glenmorangie 1974-1999, for duty free, 43%
Another one of the samples that I got from Stefan van der Boog, together with the Macallan one. Of course you have to buy more than one thing, since postage has to be made the most of. I don’t have … Continue reading
