Most of Glentauchers production goes into blends, but some finds its way to independent bottlers, like this Glentauchers 1996/2016 for Gordon & MacPhail.

This Ardmore 1996 from Gordon & MacPhail is a pleasant surprise. Subtle in every which way, but never boring.

One of these two Arrans is seriously one of the best 'bang for your buck'-whiskies available.

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

Serge Valentin, Ruben Luyten and Johan van Samang, three (former) whisky bloggers I immensely respect, all gave this Bowmore 1996 from The Whisky Agency high scores and even higher praise. I hope it can live up to that.

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

Ben Nevis is not my favorite distillery so far, but this bottling by Alambic Classique is supposedly very good. I won't get my hopes up too high, but will this be the first Ben Nevis that I actually like?

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.

You virtually never encounter an official release from Glentauchers distillery, but it shows up every once in a while as an independent bottling. Like this Glentauchers 1996 20 Years Old from Archives.

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.

One hell of a Glendronach! Bottled for De Monnik Dranken, this has spent 14 years in a Pedro Ximenez-puncheon.

Just a bit too much pepper, but this is a good Springbank nonetheless. Bottled for The Nectar Belgium.
