All Whisky reviews

High West Double RYE is a whiskey vatting, in unspecified proportions, of a 2 YO Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana 95% rye, 5% malted barley rye and a Barton 16 YO 53% rye, 37% corn, 10% malted barley rye…

A few weeks ago, Asta Morris (the Belgian bottler Bert Bruyneel) released this 15 year old Deanston. I do not have a lot of experience with Deanston. This is only my sixth. But I do have some experience…

The Flemish bottler Asta Morris selected this BenRiach for TastToe Two, a whisky retailer in Wondergel (Belgium). I visited the shop a few months ago. Quite a nice selection, and this bottling certainly…
