Speyside Region, 1975-2016, 40yo, Fino Sherry Butt, 55% – The Whisky Agency (Good Vibes)
This bottle is from one of the more expensive bottle shares I did last year. Initially it was a bit painful (financially) that it didn’t sell out, but at this moment I am glad it didn’t. It’s not often anymore … Continue reading
Irish Single Malt, 1988-2015, 26yo, 50.7% – The Perfect Dram
The Perfect Dram is a quite presumptiously named brand from The Whisky Agency. The experience is that it’s not necessarily untrue since they use some of their best casks, and The Whisky Agency itself is already a cracking bottler. This … Continue reading
A whisky tasting with Jock Shaw – part 2
The second bit of the tasting review. A tasting organized by Drinks & Gifts for the customers of the shop, hosted by Jock Shaw. I described the tasting itself yesterday, and don’t have much to add to it. Jock was … Continue reading
Irish Single Malt Whiskey, 1988-2015, 26yo, 46.3% – The Whisky Agency for Taiwan
For the last two years old Irish whiskeys have been making name for themselves. They more or less came out of nowhere, and I think the first major release was done by Adelphi with their Limerick whiskey. Since then all … Continue reading

Anon. (with the period, apparently) is an undisclosed single malt from Abbey Whisky’s ‘The Rare Casks’ releases. It’s been available for a while now and they sent me a sample a little while ago. It’s about time I reviewed it. There’s … Continue reading

Today is the 5th birthday of my blog. Almost 1250 posts in, with a couple thousand visitors every month, I’m still having fun doing this. To celebrate, ever since the first birthday in 2010, I invite a couple of friends … Continue reading
Michel Couvreur 12 year old whisky, 43%
Ever since I was at Michel Couvreur in Burgundy last year I’ve had sort of a fascination for the brand. How this came to result in no bottles bought except for a four year old grain whisky, I don’t know. … Continue reading
Hyde 10 years old Single Malt, President’s Cask, 46%
Hyde Irish Whiskey is a new brand of Irish Single Malt. As you might guess from the fact that they start their company with a 10 year old single malt, they’ve not distilled this product but bought it. The whiskey … Continue reading
Prometheus 26 year old Speyside Scotch Whisky, 47% – The Glasgow Distillery Co.
Prometheus is a whisky release from the Glasgow Distillery Company, which is still building its distillery. In a way this is a rebuilding project since there already was a Glasgow Distillery Co. which closed its doors in 1903. By the timing … Continue reading
