Laphroaig 25 Years Old Cask Strength (2017)
It is subtle and less peated than modern Laphroaig, but where’s the extra complexity that should come from a quarter century of maturation?
Arran 5 Years & Port Charlotte 10 Years (Fisherman’s Retreat)
Two exotic wine-matured whiskies, a 5yo Arran and 10yo Port Charlotte. While I find wine cask maturation is more often miss than hit, I actually enjoyed both of these!
Ben Nevis 43 Years Old Single Blend (Speciality Drinks)
A 43-year-old Ben Nevis and single blended whisky, one of the rarest styles of Scottish whisky.
Convalmore 1977 36 Years Old (2013)
One of the most eye-catching Convalmore releases from the past decade is this 36-year-old edition that was part of Diageo’s Special Releases in 2013.
Glen Garioch 2008 10 Years Old (Douglas Laing)
How is this Glen Garioch not sold out yet? After all, it does have my tasting notes on the label!
Speyside 21 Years Old ‘Black Friday Edition’ (2019)
Really good and my favourite of The Whisky Exchange’s Black Friday releases so far.
