Arran 8yo Watt Whisky & Arran 7yo Yalumba Viognier Cask (Fishermans Retreat)
We look at two younger IB releases from the Isle of Arran, a distillery we find often overlooked.
Thompson Brothers Ben Nevis 9yo Rye Cask & Dram Mor Ben Nevis 11yo Cask #195
We enjoy when Independent bottlers try new things, and a Ben Nevis in an ex-rye cask is new to us. We're comparing this with a slightly more common PX finish... which will we prefer?
Hazelburn 21 (2022) & Hazelburn 15 Sherry Wood (2022)
Campbeltown brings us two new Hazelburn releases from Springbank distillery, with a lot of sherry cask maturation in the mix.
Thompson Brothers Ledaig 1995 26yo & Lady of the Glen Ledaig 10yo cask #7006
Two indie bottlings of Ledaig, with an interesting unpeated twist on one of them. Find out what we think of unpeated Ledaig in this review.
Kilchoman Loch Gorm (2022) & Kilchoman Comraich Batch #5
Back to Islay's farm distillery as we check the 2022 release of Loch Gorm alongside an exclusive release for affiliated Whisky Bars.
