Aberlour Casg Annamh Batch #1 (2018)
Young, oak forward and not very inspiring. Before the recent price hike, you used to be able get an Aberlour a’bunadh for this kind of money. The Casg Annamh is an inadequate replacement if you ask me.
Compass Box Flaming Heart 6th Edition (2018)
The Compass Box Flaming Heart is a classic in its own right, and after the first successful release in 2006, the blending company released its 6th limited edition a little while ago.
Mortlach 1993 25 Years Old (Adelphi)
When Dave Broom reviews the Mortlach 1993 25 Years Old by Adelphi, and doles out 95 points, he’s got my attention.
Old Pulteney 2006 Vintage (2017)
A little while ago, Old Pulteney announced a new core range, introducing a new 15 and 18 year old to replace to classic 17 and 21 year old expressions. As a big fan of the distillery’s whiskies, I can’t wait to try these new additions. However, for now I’ll have to settle for a slightly less new release.
Compass Box The Story of The Spaniard (2018)
The Story of the Spaniard is a worthy addition to the Compass Box line-up, and masterful blending by John Glaser & co. Easy, accessible sipping.
Benromach Cask No 1 (2018)
What is Benromach Cask No 1? It is a very rare whisky, and one with a great provenance, taken from the first cask that was laid down when the distillery reopened after being closed since 1983. This is exciting stuff!
