Uberach W.L.P 10th edition 2013 46,7% – Distillerie Bertrand
This is truly something rare. The final dram in the French Whisky Twitter Tasting was by far the darkest so a massive sherry bomb was expected. The WLP edition, which stands for Whisky Live Paris is a vatting of left … Continue reading
Secale, Single organic malted rye, 56%, Domaine des Hautes Glaces
Domaine des Hautes Glaces is a small farm distillery in the French Alpes. The name suggests is a winery or someone producing armagnac, but they’ve been producing whisky. Not for long though, since everything is only being released as a … Continue reading
Armorik Millésime, 2002-2013, Single Cask, 56.3%
The second Armorik whisky of the night and the only distillery that conquered two spots on the FrenchWhiskyTT event! A single cask at 11 years old is, for such a relatively new whisky, nothing to be ashamed of and it … Continue reading

Armorik Double Maturation, 46%, non filtré à froid
With a tag like ‘non filtré à froid’ I just couldn’t get myself to translate it to non-chillfiltered. This is much more pretty if you ask me. The double maturation bit in this whisky’s name is for Breton oak and … Continue reading

G.Rozelieures Rare Collection, 40%, un-chilfiltered – La Maison de la Mirabelle
Yes, that actually IS a whisky. I can’t blame anyone for not knowing since I never heard of it either. At least, until last Thursday when Franck Debernardi from La Cave de Cobalt hosted a Twitter Tasting to celebrate his … Continue reading
Bowmore 25, 50.2% – Douglas Laing’s Old Particular
And then pièce de resistance of the evening, the number five dram: Bowmore 25. Well, I guess that was the idea but as everyone knows in the industry, Bowmore 25 that is released now, is distilled in the mid to … Continue reading

Glen Scotia 21, 51.5% – Douglas Laing’s Old Particular

Glen Ord 16, 48.4% – Douglas Laing’s Old Particular
Or, Old Perpendicular according to The Whisky Sponge. I tried to do some research into old and new perpendicularity, but I couldn’t find much differences. I had to give up at some point so there’s no actual result there. What … Continue reading

Caperdonich 18, 48.4% – Douglas Laing’s Old Particular
The second whisky in Douglas Laing’s Old Particular Twitter Tasting. Another blind sample so we could assess the whisky on its merits instead of on name and fame. A good call for such a tasting, if you ask me! During … Continue reading
