Arran 2009 Saint Émilion (Netherlands Exclusive)
In the last year or so I’ve tasted quite a few wine-influenced whiskies — and I enjoyed them more than I expected. This Arran is an exception.
Ardmore 2009 9 Years (The Whisky Exchange)
A good single malt from Ardmore bottled for The Whisky Exchange, but the Laphroaig influence is a little too much for me.
Bunnahabhain 2009 7 Years (Gordon & MacPhail)
Sometimes I confound myself. Why exactly did I bough a sample of this uber young Bunnahabhain? It’s good though!
The Speysiders 2009 Batch #2 (Murray McDavid)
What is the first thing that comes into mind when you think of Murray McDavid’s independent bottlings? To me it is they’re affinity for finishing whisky in former wine casks.
Ardmore 2009 9 Years Old (The Single Cask)
I have a bit of a soft spot for Ardmore. There’s no real good reason for it, other than that I like an underdog. Everybody likes an underdog, right?
