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

Kornog 2006-2022, Barrel 12107, 50.9% – Berry Bros. & Rudd

Ever since going on holiday to Brittany a couple of times I kind of have a weak spot for the area. Unfortunately, I was there with little kids and the distilleries of Brittany were hours away from where I was … Continue reading

A little while ago, I guess just in early December, Bram and Floris (the WhiskyNerds) announced their second cask. They did a GlenDronach earlier in the year which I (shamefully) have not reviewed yet. I have been enjoying it since … Continue reading

Millstone Rye, 10yo, 58.6% – OB for The Whisky Exchange

Spirit of Hven, Seven Stars #3, Phecda, 45%

Montsh ago the nice folks at Spirit of Hven Distillery sent me this sample but, I’m sorry to say, it got lost in the box. It’s only the last couple of weeks that I’m really ramping through my samples with … Continue reading
