Ardbeg Supernova 2010

Classic Ardbeg... Ardbeg Supernova 2010

We've got a special one today. I believe the Supernova was, in its time, the most peated whisky in the world. This is the second edition, from 2010. While not as legendary as the first, this is still a…

Famous Grouse 18 Year Old

Top shelf Grouse... Famous Grouse 18 Year Old

It seems like this has been discontinued in most of the world. Apparently that’s not the case here. Our bottle looks different than other 18 year Grouse bottles, and it’s still widely available in stores…

Bunnahabhain Cruach-Mhona

Clean, young, vibrant... Bunnahabhain Cruach-Mhona

Bunnahabhain is a gem of a distillery. After enjoying their core range for several years, I thought I had them pegged. Then I tried an IB, and my understanding of their house style went out the window…

Talisker Storm

Decent, but over-hyped... Talisker Storm

We’ve got the “Storm” here, a bottling that seems to be positioning itself as an alternative to Talisker 10. Talisker’s own rejuvenated and refill barrels have been used to accentuate the brand’s house…

Benromach 12 Year Old

Unusual and delicious... Benromach 12 Year Old

The Benromach 10 has gotten a lot of attention lately, but it seems we don’t have it here in Taiwan. Instead, we’ve got a 12 year old OB which doesn’t seem to exist in the rest of the world. I can’t find…

Nantou Omar Sherry

Off to a good start... Nantou Omar Sherry

Up until recently Kavalan was the only Taiwanese distillery on the map. And while I love me some Kavalan, I’m happy to say that things are changing. Over the past couple of years, there’s been a new…

Laphroaig PX Cask

Nice, but too "pleasant"... Laphroaig PX Cask

I really enjoyed my last NAS Laphroaig, the Triple Wood. Maybe I’m on a roll here. This one’s called “Laphroaig PX.” It’s a travel retail release that has spent time in PX, bourbon, and quarter casks…

Ileach Cask Strength

Rugged and young... Ileach Cask Strength

I got pretty excited before opening this one. An affordable Islay single malt at cask strength? Great! As usual, I checked the online reviews for this, which are largely positive. I felt like I’d struck…
