We all know that Lagavulin leans towards the peaty side, but -how could we balance that and, still, recognise it as such? Well, here's a crazy idea: PX casks.So we get some barrels that previously were…

Tullibardine from the 1970s: I have not tried many. The only two – both from 1973 – were tasted at a friend’s birthday party (he was born in 1973). Now I have a Tullibardine 1975 in my glass, an official…

I have had the good fortune of trying several well-aged Tomintoul. This is my 7th that is 40 years or older. And all of them were excellent! So the expectations for this Old Malt Cask are pretty high…
