GlenDronach Parliament “21 years old”, 48%
The quotation marks are because the age of this whisky is not what is says. This one was bottled in 2022, which means distillation would have happened around 2020/2021. However, at that time the distillery was closed and not producing … Continue reading

Duich (Tamdhu) 8, 2016-2024, 1st Fill PX Cask 30369, 57.2% – Dràm Mòr
Apparently Duich is another name for Tamdhu Distillery, to be used by independent bottlers. I didn’t know that until recently, and it’s another one to be added to the dictionary, next to things like Burnside, Westport, and certainly others that … Continue reading

Linkwood 12, 2010-2022, First Fill Bourbon Cask 309279, 55.5% – Finn Thomson
Finn Thomson, not to be confused with the ThomPson brothers, but also a bottler of Scotch whisky. In sort-of fancy hexagonal bottles (or was is an octagon?). Anyway, the bottle came in a tube similarly ‘gonal’, which made the tube … Continue reading
