Today I’m writing a review of the Thalassa Whisky Blair Athol. A ten year old bottling from King Cask in 2022 that took a very special journey to get to the Netherlands. The Thalassa Whisky’s are all dynamically aged aboard the Tallship Thalassa. The same ship that takes whisky lovers on once in a lifetime […]

I’ll be completely honest, I’ve always wanted to try the Yamazaki 18. I’m a huge fan of the Japanese Whisky Industry and from friends that have tried it, I’ve heard this must be amazing. The only downside (and reason I waited so long to try this dram) is the price tag that comes along with
In today’s review I’m having a look at the Nc’Nean Aon, and this particular Aon release was exclusively bottled for The Netherlands. In the Netherlands Nc’Nean is represented by Craft Spirits and Robbert and Riley made sure to pick a very special dram for us. This single cask Nc’Nean was first matured in ex-bourbon to
The Macallan Guardian Oak, the fourth entry in the Harmony Collection, features first-fill and refill sherry casks and is intended as a Travel Exclusive, though it is commonly found in regular shops.

This is not the first time that I’ve reviewed a Wolfburn on my blog, but it’s certainly a special occassion. This Wolfburn 12 will be the flagship of their core range from now on, and it feels like a coming of age of a kind for the young northern distillery. Wolfburn has come, conquered, and
For today’s review we’ll be having a look at the latest Ardnamurchan The Midgie release. Where the first release was mostly only available in the UK, this second release saw more bottle reach shores across the globes, which means it’s high time for a review! This year’s release is made of 75% unpeated and 25%
As the sunbeams rain down on me and the temperatures seem to be rising once more, I found myself with an appetite for a glass of Fettercairn 16. And when I think tropical whisky, the first thing that comes to mind is not something from a tropical isle. It’s from the Highlands of Scotland and
Sometimes you open a bottle, and the aroma’s drifting from the bottle instantly beckon you to pour yourself an extra large dram. This Glenfarclas 1997 from the Family Casks series (summer batch 2024) is definitely one of those bottles. When I opened the bottled at work it literally turned heads and the samples poured at
Sometimes it’s a lot of fun to blog about hard to find, rare malts. But for people visiting a blog, reading a review about an impossible to get, or unaffordable, bottle… is hardly any fun at all. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for good quality drams, with amazing value. This Parkmore Barolo sits
