    Even though I'm back from a trip to Scotland - having brought back five bottles (six if you count a bottle of rum for my dad's 70th birthday) , and tasted countless more - I thought I would do a complete… read more

    This has been a favorite whisky for some time. When it is on, it is all honey, and I love it. Now and again, I get a bitter finish that I dislike. Recently, I have come under the impression that the… read more

    North British at young age can be somewhat hit & miss. Remember the somewhat disappointing 12 Year Old from Signatory and the very nice 14 Year Old on Californian sherrycask, also from Signatory. At h… read more

    Scott’s Selection has bottled quite a few single grain from 1964 already. I’ve tried their Port Dundas, Caledonian and Girvan from that year. The single grain I am trying today was produced by Invergo… read more

    Single Grain can be really beautiful, we all know that. Therefore I collected a couple of samples to put next to each other. Let me start with this 24 Year Old from Cambus, a grain distillery in the L… read more

    A 30 year old expression of a rarely seen distillery, fantastic stuff, only the independent bottlers can supply things like this in the Southern part of the world Nose: marshmallow, very soft, ripe … read more
