Cragganmore 1988 25 Years (Special Release)
This Cragganmore is a triumph! Expensive upon release, but that price does look slightly better in the current whisky climate.
Benrinnes 2007 12 Years (Whisky Weekend Twente)
Not a crowdpleaser but a bold choice by the Whisky Weekend Twente folks. I’m quite happy they picked this Benrinnes and went down a road less traveled.
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.
