Glenlivet is one of the world’s largest distilleries, which I visited in September 2010. Their whiskies are noted for their fruity and floral elements, rather typical for Speyside. Let us go back to…

Murry MacDavid, until recently part of Bruichladdich, but after the sale of the distillery to Rémy Cointreau now in the hands of Aceo, bottled this Glenlivet from 1972. It matured for 26 years on a…

Let us end this little line-up of Glenlivet with a 36 Year Old from 1975, bottled by the Italian company Wilson & Morgan, in their Barrel Selection series in 2010. It came from a first fill sherry cask…

I cannot help it, but again we end up with Bert Bruyneel. This time we are trying a 32 Year Old Glenlivet from 1977 (the year in which Star Wars opened, by the way), bottled for his own label Asta Morris…

From 1964 until 1984, Miltonduff also had two Lomond stills, which enabled then-owner Hiram Walker to provide enough bulk whisky for the blenders, primarily Ballantine’s. But with declining demand, the…

Miltonduff is a Speyside distilleerderij that I have only encountered once before. So I have absolutely no experience to speak of. Time to change that, but putting four distillates in a row. Let me start…
