LPA Vintage Week ends with the 1990s We come to the end of the LPA Vintage Week, and we do not go out softly, because we present three samples today. Simply because these three have been lying around for too long and deserved to be tasted. Right? Right! The 1980s and 1990s must have been…

The Pearl of Speyside, Polished to a Shine!

All aboard the train to Tamdhu Dalbeallie Station! The Dalbeallie release by Tamdhu is meant to honour the quaint little train station next to the distillery, now one of the landmarks on this section of the Speyside Way.

Talisker 10 years old – The Old Map Label Talisker is an incredible stronghold in the single malt whisky category, but to me it always seems like a whispered secret.
