Secret Speyside 13, 2009-2023, Hogshead 200929, 53.2% – Wu Dram Clan

This undisclosed peated BenRiach was released at the same time as the Smögen from recently, but without the 91 point score at Whiskyfun, and therefore less fanfare to go with it. As a result of that, this one is actually … Continue reading

Islay Single Malt 13, 2009-2023, 53.3% – Michiel Wigman

This entire thing I’m doing (and many others with me) of whisky blogging is really fun, quite a bit of work and sometimes utterly confusing. Sometimes you try something that you expect everyone to love and it just falls flat. … Continue reading

Speyside Region 21, 1998-2020, Hogshead 18505, 54% – Archives

Skara Brae 16, 2005-2021, Bourbon cask 22, 57% – Cooper’s Choice

Skara Brae automatically involved the islands of Orkney, even if it wasn’t mentioned on the label. It’s the 4000 year old settlement uncovered on the ‘mainland’ of Orkney. And with this being an undisclosed Orkney whisky, we can safely state … Continue reading

With the Thompson Brothers opening up a bottle shop in Dornoch, I am really hoping things pan out and I am able to visit the place at the end of October. A small trip to that part of Scotland is … Continue reading
