For my 20th encounter with Glentauchers, I will also taste the eldest I have ever tried. This one was distilled in 1976 and bottled five years ago by Cadenhead. It’s fair to say that Glentauchers is a…

Celebration of the Cask is a series in which Morrison & Mackay bottle exceptional casks at high(er) age. This is a Glenglassaugh that was distilled when I was a two year old toddler. Liquid history,…

I’m quite sure now that this is not cask strength. Like with the Mortlach 2017 that I tried a little while ago, this Glenlossie from 2007 bottled in the same Carn Mor Strictly Limited series is a vatting…

The Rare Malts Selection is the precursor to the Diageo Special Releases and ran from 1995 until 2005. This Glendullan was bottled at 62.6% ABV, which makes my eyebrows shoot upward. Where is my water…
