Bruichladdich 13, 2009-2023, First Fill Bourbon Barrel 3618, 60.8% – Whiskybase

So, last year Whiskybase released this Bruichladdich and since it is a Bruichladdich from a bourbon cask I wanted it. Of course, I should have gotten two, but on the other hand I keep wanting to try new stuff, not … Continue reading

Burnside 24, 1997-2021, Hogshead 6542, 54.1% – Archives

Another undisclosed Balvenie that is tea-spooned. A few years ago there were a lot of them, but this specific one was bottled for the Taiwanese market. By Archives / Whiskybase, with a bird from the orient on the label. Genereally, … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain Staoisha 7, 2013-2021, Barrel 13000244, 59.1% – Archives

Bunnahabhain took a page from the Bruichladdich book by rebranding their different styles into different brands. Where Bruichladdich has the distillery name for the unpeated single malt, Port Charlotte for their peated whisky and Octomore for their liquid ashtrays, Bunnahabhain … Continue reading

Amrut 5, 2015-2021, Ex-Bourbon Cask 3734, 60% – OB for the Members of Whiskybase

And yes, I got a bottle of this before it sold out, and then never gave it enough priority for a timely review. India is not the first country that comes to mind when thinking about single malt whisky, but … Continue reading

Balcones 3, 2017-2021, Cask 19264, 62.9% – Archives

I finally got to try the Balcones from Archives that sold out in about 12 minutes when it came online. I think the Texas distillery is doing some very interesting stuff, and has been doing that for quite a while. … Continue reading

Caol Ila 11, 2010-2022, First Fill Bourbon Barrel 321701, 56.9% – Archives

Apart from starting to look like the Archives fanboy channel over here, I do really enjoy almost everything they put out. I say almost, because I like some whiskies better than others, but I have to admit that nothing ‘bad’ … Continue reading

Speyside Region 21, 1998-2020, Hogshead 18505, 54% – Archives

Yet another archives bottling! Not overly surprising with this being one of my favorite bottlers at the moment. They seem to be hitting the sweet spot between price and quality quite often! Surprisingly, I don’t really know what distillery this … Continue reading

Glentauchers 24, 1996-2021, Barrel 22060, 46.8% – Whiskybase

It’s been a while by now, but back in 2021 when there were ‘only’ 180,000 different whiskies on Whiskybase, they released this Glentauchers. There must have been quite a parcel of casks available back then, because it seemed that everyone … Continue reading

Aberlour 12, 2006-2018, Barrel 102, 56.8% – Archives

An older review today. Lately I’ve been emptying some bottles and a LOT of samples, ever since the beginning of the year. A couple dozen that I’ve gone through since were not reviewed here yet, and I even found some … Continue reading
