Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon

We’re exploring daily, but the path to bourbon is still sort of unknown to us. But we have to start somewhere right? So we dipped a toe in the water with this Buffalo Trace.

GlenDronach 15yo Revival

The one that makes you fall in love. The GlenDronach 15yo Revival was one of the first whiskies that I fell in love with.

88

Ben Nevis 10yo

We made it a kind of sport to look for other sub €50 whiskies that are at least as good or even better than their better-known colleagues. Enter the Ben Nevis 10yo.

87

GlenAllachie 25yo

The last and by far the most expensive bottle of the new GlenAllachie core-range. Does the taste justify the price?

86

GlenAllachie 18yo

It’s time to review the third expression from the new GlenAllachie core-range.

85

GlenAllachie 12yo

The second of the brand new GlenAllachie core range, this one feels like the odd one out. Let me explain…

Blackadder Peat Reek RAW Cask PR2017-10

Ever wanted to use your whisky bottle like a snow globe? Well, here’s your chance!

Hazelburn 13yo Oloroso Cask Matured

I walked into a whisky store in ’s-Hertogenbosch: De Koning, great chance you Dutchies know him already. And it was like entering a gold mine. Dusty bottles, discontinued bottles, bottles of forgotten ages, fresh new bottles, but what most stood out: a whole ‘cage’ of Springbank goodness. I asked...

Glenglassaugh Evolution

I’m a big sherry and peat lover and my personal collection consists mostly of these whiskies. So I went looking for something different…

Signatory Vintage – Edradour 10yo #320

Sometimes you just need a good and affordable sherry matured sipper. This is a 10yo Edradour, distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2017 by Signatory (cask #320). 46% ABV

89

Aberlour 25yo 1992-2018 Whisky Broker

Whiskybroker is a bottler we haven’t noticed before, until last week. I bought this 25yo Aberlour for the insane price of just 75 pounds. How is that even possible? And how good can it be at that price?

90

The Caol Ila 14yo Unpeated 2012

The Caol Ila 14yo Unpeated from 2012 is a part of the collection for quite some time. To me, this has always been a good competitor for the discontinued Glenlivet Nadurra 16yo.

84

Bruichladdich The Laddie Valinch 34 2004-2018

If you ask us to describe Bruichladdich in one word, it would be: mavericks. They are definitely not afraid to experiment and when it comes to their less experimental whisky’s they don’t necessarily care what others do or say. In short: they do things their own way, and they...

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Cask Exploration 20 Valinch

Leaving Kilchoman behind, we went on to our last stop on our trip: Bruichladdich. There we tasted the Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Cask Exploration 20 Valinch

GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 3

When it comes to a distillery that has spent a lot of time and years with us and has survived many tasting sessions (and especially verdicts), the first whisky that comes in mind is the GlenDronach.

92

Kavalan Solist Sherry Cask #S100209030a

With every single cask, there’s a great chance of differences with every batch. The previous Solist we reviewed, was lighter in colour and fruitier and woodier in taste. The one we’re reviewing today (#S100209030a) is a lot darker…

Islay’s Ardview Inn and Bruichladdich Black Art 1990 (04.1)

The bar at Ardview Inn and tasting notes of Bruichladdich Black Art 23yo 1990 04.2

87

Tamdhu Batch Strength Batch 002

Tamdhu, often overlooked, even by us. But we heard some good stories about their Batch Strength Series, so why not try one?

82

Glen Moray Elgin Classic Port Cask Finish

What a view, this Glen Moray Port Cask Finish. But is it also good on the inside?

93

Deanston 10yo – Pedro Ximénez Finish

Deanston 10yo PX finish is one of our recent discoveries that made a huge impression.

88

The Ileach Cask Strength

The Ileach Cask Strength scores well with the critics, Jim Murray awarded this single malt from an unnamed distillery a mindblowing 97 points.

84

Gordon & Macphail Speymalt Macallan 2007-2016

Let’s have something that tastes like Easter Breakfast. This is a young Macallan from Gordon & Macphail’s Speymalt range.

90

Glendronach 1990 25yo Single Cask 1375

The is a single cask (1375) from one of our favourite distilleries: GlenDronach. It was distilled 4 days after I was born and bottled in the same month that I went 25.
