When nosing and tasting this whisky, I was transported back to a great sherried Port Charlotte that I had reviewed last year. This Ballechin is a triumph for Edradour.
Providing you love whisky, and don't live under a rock, you must've heard about Gordon & MacPhail's revamp of their Connoisseurs Choice range. This week I'll take a closer look at some of their new whiskies, starting with this Caol Ila.
If consistency would be a competition, than Caol Ila might just win. This Islay distillery produces consistently good, sometimes even great whisky, as this Caol Ila 2004/2016 from Gordon & MacPhail once again proves.
No, I did not visit Spirit of Speyside in May. However, I lucked into a sample of the Glenfarclas 2004 13 Years Old that was released especially for this years edition of the festival.
As an appetizer to Gordon & MacPhail's forthcoming release of the oldest Scotch whisky in the world, I take a closer look at three different Glenlivet from 2004, 2003, and 1976.
