The Arran 1996 24 Years for The Whisky Exchange is not what you would expect, but it isn't not bad. It's actually one of the more singular whiskies I've had in a while.

A textbook Clynelish from the WhiskyNerds that sits in the upper ranges of what this vintage (and others from the mid-1990s) generally has to offer.

The inaugural release of the Whiskydudes does not disappoint — a very flavourful Glentauchers bottled for the 10th anniversary of the Dutch Whisky Forum.

There's a lot to love here. It doesn't have the signature Ben Nevis dirtiness, which to me is always a big plus. What remains is a top notch single malt from a cult distillery.

While I've appreciated the general high quality of Ben Nevis, I never really enjoyed its dirty-ish style. That is, until recently it seems. Hopefully this Ben Nevis 1996 from The Daily Dram will be another positive experience for me.

Very good, but Jesus H. Christ, that's a lot of sherry influence. If you don't care about balance, than this is the Springbank for you.

I have tasted this Millstone before, but also, I haven't? It's a rare one, bottled exclusively for Taiwan.

In The Netherlands almost all the single cask releases from Isle of Arran Distillery have a cutesy name nowadays. One of the latest examples is a trio of Arran whiskies released at the same time, the Waltz, Tango and Foxtrot. Do you get it? Well, do you? DO YOU?

Surprisingly good! I mean, excellent even! I already knew Zuidam makes quality products, but this is 'hors catégorie'.

The WhiskyNerds have done it again. This Springbank is their best bottling to date. Or at least, that's what I think :)

Quietly plugging along is the Shieldmaiden-series from the independent label The Duchess. The third release has been for sale for a little while now, a Glenrothes 1996 20 Years Old from a bourbon hogshead.
