Blind Tasting Competition 14 – Teaninich 29yo, 1982-2012, 52.2% – Dewar Rattray
I should make some rectifications to what I said yesterday about the competition not being fun anymore. I discussed it with Ewald, who organizes most of it and came to the conclusion that it’s just the...

Bunnahabhain 1990, 21yo, Jubilee Malt 2, The Whisky Barrel, 54.5%
It took me a while to find specs on this bottle online, since it’s apparently a release by The Whisky Barrel, but bottled by Whiskybroker.co.uk. Rather strange. Another strange fact is that the name of...

Usquebaugh Society Regional Tasting Noord-Holland – January 2015
Every couple of months someone in the province of Noord-Holland organises the regional tasting for the Usquebaugh Society. They do this too in other areas of the country but not in the same way, where...

Caol Ila 27, 1983-2011, 53.1% – Whiskybroker.co.uk
This is one of those samples of which I had totally forgotten it existed. Recently when we moved some furniture around I had to shift some boxes and decided to go through a bunch of samples. This is...

Inchgower 1982, 29yo, 53.9% – Whiskybroker.co.uk
Sometimes I find a whisky with a certain profile that I find very hard to define, but oh so delicious. It happened with an Inchgower 1982 from Duncan Taylor. It also happened with a 1982 Clynelish I...

Springbank 1998-2013, 14 years old, 54.3% – Whiskybroker.co.uk
Another bottler that somehow is not on my radar. Which is a silly thing since most of what Martin Armstrong (the son of the former Bladnoch distillery owner) releases is at least decent in quality, and...

BTC #1: Benrinnes 1997-2016, 50% – Whiskybroker
So, another December, another Blind Tasting Competition. Based on previous editions, I’m going in without hope of a decent finish. I know I suck at this kind of thing, this blind tasting of whisky....

Glenrothes 1997-2016, 53.5% – WhiskyBroker (for Van Zuylen)
The Van Zuylen bit is between brackets in the title since this whisky came out as a shop bottling for Van Zuylen AND a regular bottling from WhiskyBroker. It seems they split the cask since it’s the...

Loch Lomond 13, 2005-2018, 50% – Whiskybroker
This heavily peated Loch Lomond was bottled by Whiskybroker.co.uk in 2018, and if it was an official bottling this would have been called Croftengea, Inchmoan or Inchfad, since that’s how they brand...

Ben Nevis 19, 1999-2018, 46.5% – WhiskyBroker
WhiskyBroker is one of the more affordable bottlers out there, together with brands like The Ultimate and such. The brand started its existence when the Bladnoch Forum bottlings stopped, which also...

Bruichladdich 22, 1991-2014, Hogshead 2270, 55.9% – Whiskybroker
I was going to start this review by stating that I really like trying Bruichladdichs from before their restart in 2001. That would have been too much information in a way, since I like trying...
