Two other Archives: Glentauchers and Glen Keith
The ‘non-Speyside’ whiskies from the recent Archives release are a Glentauchers 1996 and a Glen Keith 1992. Obviously both are from the Speyside region, but they aren’t marked as an undisclosed Speyside distillery. Both are a bit weird in regards … Continue reading

GlenDronach 1995-2015, 19yo, 54.2% – OB for Whiskybase

Springbank 1996-2016, 19yo, cask 551, 54.9% – Archives

Auchentoshan 1990-2014, 23yo, 47.7% – Archives (Indian Ducks)
Auchentoshan and me have a bit of a weird history. Not a long one, mind. When I started my whisky journey and bought loads of starter whiskies, I really like Auchentoshan 10. Since there was so much out there, there … Continue reading
