Tullibardine 1993 25 Years Old (Douglas Laing XOP)
As some of you may know, I’m a sucker for classic, grain-forward genever, as well as proper Irish single pot still whiskey. This Tullibardine from Douglas Laing has elements of both.
Glen Elgin 1986 32 Years Old (Signatory Vintage)
Vinothek Massen, a store in Luxembourg, selected a 32-year-old Glen Elgin from the warehouses of Signatory Vintage, and bottled it exclusively for their shop.
Scapa 1988 30 Years Old (Gordon & MacPhail)
A few months ago, Gordon & MacPhail launched one of the more eye-popping Scapa whiskies in recent memory. At 30 years old, it has to be one of the oldest ever whisky’s from this distillery.
Port Askaig 14 Years Old (2018)
Distilled in 2004 and bottled at a respectable 45.8 percent, this particular Port Askaig release is a vatting of 11 first-fill bourbon casks. Sounds alright to me!
Bunnahabhain 2008 Mòine Bordeaux Cask (2018)
I’m still not sure what to think of heavily peated Bunnahabhain.
Miltonduff 1981 36 Years Old (North Star Spirits)
North Star Spirits is quickly becoming an independent bottler to watch out for.
