Family Silver, 1st Fill Oloroso Cask 4630, 44% – Cooper’s Choice
I bought a sizeable sample of this whisky upon being told this is Glenfarclas. Of course, with it being a blended malt, it’s most likely teaspooned, but there’s no guarantee it’s Glenfarclas. It could very well be, but where all … Continue reading

Secret Islay 2007-2021, 14yo, Monbazillac Cask, 51.7% – Michiel Wigman, They Inspired II
Just to clear some things up, Monbazillac is a French dessert wine, a sweet wine not unlike Sauternes or Muscat. As proven by Caol Ila’s Distiller’s Edition, this works quite well, generally. This Secret Islay is truly secret, Michiel Wigman … Continue reading

Secret Highland 12, 2007-2020, Hogshead, 47.8% – The Whisky Agency
As far as bottlers go, The Whisky Agency operates in the top layer of them. There’s some others up there, but not many. So, when a joint bottling with Heads & Tails came out, I got a little bit thrileld. … Continue reading

Speyside Region, 47yo, 1973-2020, Hogshead, 45% – The Whisky Agency
I am trying (and often failing) to go for quality over quantity. With all the #StayTheFuckHome Tastings of the last year the amount of bottles has grown significantly, and while that’s not the only reason for it, it is a … Continue reading

Orkney Island 2005-2020, 14yo, 59.7% – Berry Bros & Rudd for Whiskybase
Of course this is Highland Park. All of the ‘undisclosed’ Orkney whiskies are Highland Park. This one was released sometime during the end of last year and I scored a bottle for bottle-sharing. I ended up with some 10cl for … Continue reading

Recently, Whisky Import Nederland, the company behind the First Cask brand, released a series of six whiskies. There were some interesting bottles in that batch, but the one that stood out was this ‘An Islay Distillery’. Why, you ask? This: … Continue reading

Secret Orkney 1999-2019, 51.9% – Michiel Wigman
Michiel planned to do another two releases this year, and right after he emailed the participants that he couldn’t find casks of a high enough quality, these two popped up, so here they are. Or at least, here’s one of … Continue reading

All three of these are Clynelish
It seems a new Diageo rule that Clynelish can no longer be represented on labels, since everything that has been released lately is labeled as ‘Secret Highland Distillery’. Of course that doesn’t mean all these secret highlands are Clynelish, but … Continue reading
Two American Whiskeys finished in sherry casks by 3006
3006 is a newish bottler that showed up some years ago. I read something about then but then forgot about the brand again, until recently. RvB shared these two American Whiskeys, one finished in a PX octave, and another in … Continue reading
