Talisker Storm (2019)
A seriously good showing from Talisker, a distillery that despite much criticism for its many NAS offerings has a reputation to uphold. If anything, this rather cheap (it really is!) single malt lifts that reputation even higher.
Linkwood 12 Years Flora & Fauna (2019)
While luckily there are many independent bottlings of Linkwood available, the only consistently accessible official release is the Linkwood 12 Years Flora & Fauna.
Starward Nova (2019)
I know there’s this whole vibrant, exciting whisky industry on the other side of the world, yet I barely know anything about Australian whisky. A first step towards rectifying that with a review of the Starward Nova.
Closer Look: Teeling Single Malt, Single Grain & Small Batch
A closer look at some of Teeling Distillery’s core range, tasted during a virtual distillery tour, which is a thing now.
Arran 2009 Saint Émilion (Netherlands Exclusive)
In the last year or so I’ve tasted quite a few wine-influenced whiskies — and I enjoyed them more than I expected. This Arran is an exception.
Mortlach 1974 23 Years (Milroy’s of Soho)
A Mortlach that will stay with me for a while. Great stuff from a bygone era.
