What the ...? I just realized I never reviewed a Benrinnes on Words of Whisky. Time to rectify that mistake with a Benrinnes 1995 20 Years Old from Single Malts of Scotland.
Distilled before the new owners took over Bruichladdich at the start of this millennium, this is a unique whisky isn't very accessible. But if you give it a chance, you're probably in for a pleasant surprise.
There aren't many official Clynelish bottlings. Luckily there are plenty of independent, single cask offerings. Like this new one from Single Malts of Scotland.
What's in a name? "Just call it Peat", someone must've said in the offices at Speciality Drinks. A brilliant simple name for a not so simple blended malt whisky.
If you see a young single cask bottling, it usually comes from a very active cask. It's now surprise then that this Glen Moray 2007 8 Years Old from Single Malts of Scotland comes from a first-fill bourbon cask.
Unlike some blend fillers (because that is what Glenburgie is), this distillery actually does make characterful whisky, as is evident by the high quality of this Glenburgie 1998 17 Years Old from Single Malts of Scotland.
