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.
BenRiach 1976 30 Years (Bottled for The Nectar)
Another testament to the brilliant fruitiness of these BenRiach from 1976. What. A. Great. Whisky.
Ardmore 2009 9 Years (The Whisky Exchange)
A good single malt from Ardmore bottled for The Whisky Exchange, but the Laphroaig influence is a little too much for me.
