    Young Campbeltown

    , , , , ,

    Young Campbeltowners including Longrow 100 proof, Hazelburn 8 and Springbank Local Barley There have been some spectacular releases by Springbank and Glengyle Distilleries in 2025, so we have to see where we all put them in the next few weeks or months. Might this be the reason that King Charles III dropped by in our…

  • Glendronach 9 & 12 Years

    Glendronach makes hand-filled great again!  Is Glendronach still the uncontested sherry monarch of Scotland? This highland distillery that is actually pretty close to the borders of what one would define as Speyside, quietly took over the reign from The Macallan in the early years of this century. The once nicknamed Rolls Royce of whisky had…

  • Glenlivet and Linn House

    Some rarities from The Glenlivet and Linn House An independent retailer is a rare sight in the Dutch liquor store landscape. Most of them have attached their name to one of the big retail chains. Both ways have their pros and cons, I am sure. My local store is one of those independents, which gives…

  • Glen Spey 2015

    High entertainment value with Glen Spey single malt Glen Spey is a beautiful distillery to behold, if you are quick enough to spot it while driving on the A941 through the little village of Rothes. The distillery was founded in 1878 but despite its long history, never really caught the eye of the single malt…

  • Glenlossie 12 years

    Fruity Glenlossie with a dash of sherry Glenlossie is a name you barely see, and if you do, it will probably be because an independent bottler decided to put a cask into glass. Owner Diageo uses the distillery in tandem with Mannochmore and most of its production goes to blends. Signatory Vintage in the meantime…

  • Glenmorangie Astar & 1995

    Tasting notes for two Glenmorangie expressions Glenmorangie is one of the truly big names in Scotch single malt whisky, but to me it always brings me back to the fact that it almost killed my interest in whisky early on. After learning to appreciate the difference between blended Scotch and single malt whisky, I bought…

  • Glen Moray 2007

    Glen Moray in a successful marriage with white wine Glen Moray is quite the darling of many whisky enthusiasts. It has an accessible style but it is certainly not a dime a dozen single malt. If left alone for a good 12 to 15 years, the fruity character can be very rewarding. Interestingly enough, this…

  • Glenugie 1977

    Glenugie 1977

    ,

    Enjoying the tropical fruit of an old Glenugie In my early days of this whisky hobby, everywhere I went a little black book would accompany me for taking notes about the whiskies I would taste. In one of these books, I found tasting notes for a tasting that was done at Lindores Whisky Fest in…

  • Glenburgie 1961 vs 2011

    Glenburgie 50 years apart: 1961 versus 2011 There are 25 whisky distilleries in Scotland that have “Glen” in their name. From the most well-known ones like The Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Glen Grant and Glenfarclas to the really obscure ones like … well, perhaps Glenburgie? This mass producer of single malt whisky makes a little over 5…

  • Glen Scotia, Campbeltown

    Glen Scotia putting a spotlight on Campbeltown Campbeltown is not the biggest place on this planet, but somehow we missed visiting the Glen Scotia Distillery during my last visit to the Wee Toon. As our usual Bed & Breakfast is located in the same street as the distillery, of course I managed to catch a…
