Killing spree
Over the course of a couple of weeks I’ve killed off a good few good bottles. In recent reviews: the Ardnamurchan AD/ bottle (#338) and the lovely 24yo Glen Elgin from Asta morris (#333). And here come a few more: I though it would be fun (for me) to recall why I bought these bottles…

It’s gearing up for… MY 300TH REVIEW ON THIS BLOG! A special retrospective & statistics-so-far post is coming up to celebrate, but I also wanted to make the 300th review a special dram.

My friend Petter had received a couple of 20cl bottles of Bunna from a family friend and would share with…

The Islay trip, day 3 – Ardnahoe, Bunnahabhain, Caol Ila, Laphroaig, Bowmore
The day before I enjoyed being driven to Islay rum, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, and Kilchoman. Now was my turn to drive the car. With every intention of doing so legally and competently, that meant no whisky for this old boy. Fortunately, distilleries usually have small sample bottles so that drivers can get takeaway drams. Little did…
