All Whisky reviews

I do not believe Signatory needs an introduction. Of Glen Elgin, Diageo’s work horse, they have bottled more than 50 casks, mostly from 1995 and 1996. This is a bottling of two hogsheads, cut to 46%.…

Every time I pour a Glen Scotia, I cross my fingers. For me this is often hit or miss. The quality of what I have tasted so far has varied enormously and I have had more bad than good Glen Scotia. So I…

This Glen Ord has been discontinued for a long time and therefor has become pretty expensive. Around 130 EUR in fact. And let’s be honest, after reading these tasting notes you’ll agree that it is not…
