Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch, 2021 vs 2024
The simple fact that the first one is from 2021, while I could have sworn it was just a little while ago I bought it, makes me feel so very old. I feel it in my bones. Every year Four … Continue reading

Ailsa Bay 2011 / Ben Nevis 2012 (The Duchess)
I right up stole that title from Thijs’ blog… The Duchess is releasing two new single cask whiskies today. Most likely at noon, which is five minutes from typing this, and probably a couple of minutes ago by the time … Continue reading

Balblair 18, 2002-2020, Hogshead 20100, 51.7% – The Single Malts of Scotland (for Belgium)
Balblair is one of those distilleries that I have a soft spot for, even though their whiskies don’t often end up on my shelf. Their official releases are quite hard to get in The Netherlands, for some reason, and unofficial … Continue reading

Smoke Wagon Uncut & Unfiltered, Nevada H&C Distilling Co., 56.6%
During COVID it wasn’t just Single Malt that had a massive revival at MaltFascination HQ, but I also got into way too expensive Bourbon. Not necessarily that the Bourbon was too expensive, but by the time it was available in … Continue reading

This 2024 bottling from Diageo’s Special Releases is only the second release of Roseisle ever. There are some other mentions on Whiskybase, but those are of blends to also contain whisky from other distilleries. The first release was reviewed by … Continue reading

Glentauchers 2008-2024, Sherry cask, 51.7% – Liquid Art (10th Anniversary)
It feels like a million years ago when Bert Dexters got in touch about reviewing samples (it was about eight years…) but suddenly, at the end of 2024, there he was again. Liquid Art was celebrating their 10th anniversary with … Continue reading

Linkwood 27, 1987-2014, Rum Finished Hogshead, 47.3% – The Whisky Agency / The Perfect Dram
I met my befriended Linkwood supplier last Monday, and when things quieted down a little bit I immediately sat down to drink this sample he brought me. Normally this wouldn’t be a whisky I’d pick up since it’s a rum … Continue reading

Glen Moray 13, 2010-2024, Tokaji Wine Finish, 56% –
I was a bit surprised by the spelling of Tokaji, but apparently you can spell it with and without an I at the end. Anyway, I don’t have much experience with this type of cask. I know the Longrow from … Continue reading

Lowrie’s Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky, 45.7% – Thompson Brothers
The thing that made this blended whisky stand out, apart from the fun label (a bit reminiscent of That Boutique-y Whisky Company) was that they partially matured the whisky on Campervan beer casks. I don’t have much experience with that … Continue reading
Stellum Bourbon, Equinox Blend #1, 58.63%
Stuff that is not available in Europe, part whatever. I picked this one up in Chicago two years ago, and decided it was high time to empty my bottle and write a review. This seems to be a thing with … Continue reading
