Isle of Jura Feis Ile Edition 2021
The Isle of Jura Feis Ile Edition 2021 is probably not as good as I hoped, but still pretty excellent and also maybe the best Jura single malt I’ve ever tried.
Double Barrel Speyside & Lowland (Douglas Laing)
The new Double Barrel Speyside & Lowland is an excellent vatting of a sweeter, honeyed style combined with slightly floral and grassy notes. Accessible and very drinkable.
Mackmyra Svensk Ek (2020)
The name Mackmyra Svensk Ek is kind of misleading, as only about 10% of the Svensk Ek has been finished in Swedish oak casks.
Chivas Regal Extra 13 Rye Cask
A closer look at the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Rye Cask with some bonus thoughts by master blender Sandy Hyslop himself.
Kornog 2005 15 Years (WhiskySponge)
This Kornog from WhiskySponge is a mature and fascinating single malt. Very singular and unlike what you’d encounter in Scotland, yet with enough similarities to not alienate lovers of Scotch whisky.
Teeling Amber Ale (Small Batch Collaboration)
Teeling’s Small Batch finished in former DOT Brew Rum Red Dark barrels. The result is captivating.
