GlenAllachie 2008 10 Years Marsala (Hand-filled)
While rumbling through my sample drawer, I came across one from a hand-filled GlenAllachie distillery exclusive. It was gifted to me last year during Spirit of Speyside by the ever-generous Juliette Buchan.
BenRiach 10 Years Old (2019)
Not as glamorous as GlenDronach’s sherry-matured whiskies, nor as fascinating as Glenglassaugh’s funky spirit and coastal location, I never really gave much attention to that other former Billy Walker distillery.
Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 & Tennessee Rye
You might have me pegged for a single malt snob, but Jack Daniel’s is actually one of the whiskies I’ve been drinking longest.
Mackmyra Äppelblom (2019)
Finished in calvados casks from Christian Drouin, the Mackmyra Äppelblom is certainly not pushing the boundaries as much as the Vinterglöd, but is very interesting nonetheless.
Peat’s Beast Peated Single Malt (2019)
From a brand called Peat’s Beast you expect to be slapped in the face and choked by smoke. That’s not the case here.
Longrow 100 Proof 10 Years (2006)
It turns out writing about whisky is fairly trivial, but I really don’t have many other skills. So I guess I’ll just keep chugging along, even in these weird and uncertain times.
