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 trend of Travel Exclusives being widely available reduces the hassle of carrying large bottles through airports, leading to the opinion that distilleries
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 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
Sometimes you open a bottle, and as soon as the aroma’s hit your nose… you know you need to get yourself a bottle. That was very much the case with this Bottle Dreams Arran 1997. Distilled at the Lochranza Ditstillery in 1997 and bottled in 2024, this 27 year old whisky hit all the right
Highland Park Distillery is one of the giants in the whisky industry and made the island of Orkney famous for it’s whisky, allthough Scapa is also worth a try from the seal island. Today I’m going to review Highland Park 10, very much the entry level dram from the distillery. On the shelves it still
Many of you may already know that I have a special bond with Laphroaig. When I first got into whisky my mom approached me to teach her a bit more about it, so I put together a little tasting with a peated dram at the end. To my surprise she fell head over heels in
