Ardmore 24, 1997-2022, Hogshead 901451, 49.6% – WhiskyNerds
There’s a few bottlers out there that get me all excited when a new release is announced. I guess the main two of those are WhiskyNerds and Wu Dram Clan. And yes, they are both doing more or less the … Continue reading
Caol Ila 32, 1990-2022, Refill American Hogshead, 51.5% – Cask of Distinction
Sometimes people go ballistic when it comes to bottling luxurious hooch. In this case we should point the blame at Wu Dram Clan, but not only them. Bram and Floris of The Whisky Nerds are guilty of this one too, … Continue reading
Secret Orkney 17, 2004-2022, Butt 13, 49.4% – WhiskyNerds

Just like yesterday’s post, this one came in a while ago but I wanted it to give it the respect, attention and nasal capacity it deserves. I find it a bold move by Bram and Floris to release an Allt-a-Bhainne. … Continue reading
