Clynelish 17, 1997-2014, Hogshead, 46% – Wemyss
This whisky is called ‘Sweet and Sour Chutney’. I like Clynelish, and I like Indian food. Sounds good to me! What also helps is that this line of whiskies from Wemyss is generally pretty good, and 1997 was an exceptional … Continue reading
Glen Scotia 1991-2015, Hogshead, 46% – Wemyss ‘Leather Bound Ledger’
So, old books and cracker leather lay ahead of us, going by the title. Wemyss is a bit of an oddball bottler in my book. Not in a very negative way, but I do think their blended malts get in … Continue reading

Blair Ahtol 1991-2014, 46%, ‘Foraged Fruit Fool’ – Wemyss
The second Wemyss review this week, and the third will follow soon (of the new Bowmore called ‘The Rock Pool’). This Blair Athol comes in a period of about a year or so in which quite some independent Blair Athols … Continue reading
Aberfeldy 1999-2014, 46%, ‘Toffee Tuile’ – Wemyss
This week my first ever pack of samples from Wemyss arrived. A while ago I asked them politely if they were willing to include me on their sample list, as they do with many other bloggers. They kindly agreed, after … Continue reading
Whiskylunch 2013
On April 21st a couple of friends and I went to partake in the annual Whisky Lunch hosted by our local liquor shop and restaurant ‘De 5e smaak’ (the fifth flavour). I went there last year as well, with my … Continue reading
