Blind Tasting #14: Ledaig 1995 24 Years (WhiskyNerds)
The WhiskyNerds’ Ledaig is a fitting conclusion to the Blind Tasting Competition—made even better by a very satisfying final placement in the rankings for yours truly.
Blind Tasting #13: Longmorn 2005 15 Years (North Star Spirits)
The Longmorn 2005 15 Years from North Star Spirits may just be the mother of all sherry bombs. It comes at a high price but might actually be worth it.
Blind Tasting #12: Bunnahabhain 2008 11 Years Manzanilla Cask
The Bunnahabhain 2008 11 Years Manzanilla Cask actually co-exists fairly well with the Manzanilla influence. But I’m not entirely convinced.
Blind Tasting #11: Tomintoul 2005 12 Years
Once you get past the massive ABV, there’s a real fruity dram hidden in this Tomintoul 2005 12 Years Single Cask for De Monnik Dranken.
Blind Tasting #10: Longrow 2002 17 Years Single Cask (Fourcroy)
A totally gorgeous Longrow 2002 17 Years bottled for the Netherlands, but a frustrating day of the Blind Tasting Competition.
Blind Tasting #9: Dailuaine 1998 15 Years (Whisky in Leiden)
Today I realised my lowest score so far. There’s one consolation though: the Dailuaine 1998 15 Years for Whisky in Leiden is fantastic.
