https://whiskyrific.com/2015/07/05/clynelish-19952010-samaroli-glen-cawdor-cask-1469-45
So much whisky, so little time Singapore Tasting Notes. Clynelish, 1995/2010 Samaroli ‘Glen Cawdor’ cask 1469, 45%. Samaroli is an Italian independent bottler, just like Cadenhead or Signatory in the UK. ‘Italian? 8217; You say, ‘What do Italians have to do with bottling Scotch whisky? Big bed of soft but indistinct fruitiness like a fruit salad, lacquered wood and vanilla creme, but very quickly turning full highlands with flint and chalk and touches of oiliness. Very reminiscent of a full bodied wh...

So much whisky, so little time Singapore Tasting Notes. Macallan 1957 25 yo Anniversary Malt 43%. Happy 50th National Day Singapore. The occasion lives up to its hype. This is a milestone for the country, with much accomplished but also many ways we can improve, and not in the material sense. Still I raise a glass to the little red dot. What’s a national day whisky? Wish I had a Bowmore at hand but I think this meets the criteria too. Picture credit – whiskyexhange.com). Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You a...

Hannisville Rye Whiskey, 1863 | whiskyrific
https://whiskyrific.com/2015/07/23/hannisville-rye-whiskey-1863
So much whisky, so little time Singapore Tasting Notes. Hannisville Rye Whiskey, 1863. How the world turns, yesterday the collectors were falling over Ardbeg, now it’s Yamazaki. In fact Japanese single malt is pretty much sold out everywhere. Somewhere in the middle of all that Rye is making a real comeback, and why not, it makes a solid cocktail, and the right one in a tulip is a legit way to end the day. A note from the orginal owner reads:. Year old whiskey. Also, no glass! May 13, 2016. I find this a...

Glendronach Octarine 46% | whiskyrific
https://whiskyrific.com/2015/08/06/glendronach-octarine-46
So much whisky, so little time Singapore Tasting Notes. Not sure why I haven’t had more Glendronach than this, so confident am I in this whisky that I always recommend it as a sucessor to Macallan when somebody says they can’t stomach Fine Oak. The core 12, 15, and 18 have never disappointed, and the natural robustness of the spirit paired with Single Cask have been a safe haven for the most finicky of sherryheads. The basis of my belief? Picture borrowed from htfw.com). Betrayed by its youth on the tong...

Bunnahabhain 7yo 2006/2013 cask 800088 Berry Brothers 57.8% | whiskyrific
https://whiskyrific.com/2015/04/25/bunnahabhain-7yo-20062013-cask-800088-berry-brothers-57-8
So much whisky, so little time Singapore Tasting Notes. Bunnahabhain 7yo 2006/2013 cask 800088 Berry Brothers 57.8%. But fewer would know that Bunnhabhain had originally been a heavily peated whisky and it was only from the 60s onwards that unpeated spirit became the norm, a reflection of the popularity of blends and light whisky of the time. Peated Bunnahabhain is therefore a return to form rather than an evolution. But is it any good? Medium short, ashy, mashy, salty. Step 1: Obtain good oak – I ...

So much whisky, so little time Singapore Tasting Notes. Kilchoman, Batch 1, That Boutique-y Whisky Company 55.5%. How is it that a man who counts Islay malts as his favourite, who has twice been to that storm lashed sentinel stalwart against the fury of the open Atlantic, the Queen of the Hebrides, but has not tried all the peaty spirit she has to offer? I admit my shortcoming and pledge to remedy it most diligently. Kilchoman is small (110,000 L a year! 3 Rent a car from Glasgow Airport. 4 Drive the 2&#...

This Lagavulin features in every Diageo special release as an affordable entry level bottle. 2014 saw both a 12 yo cask strength and a 37 year old, that’s 2 Lagavulins in one release, except that the latter is far from affordable.

So much whisky, so little time Singapore Tasting Notes. Pittyvaich 1993/2005 Connoisseurs Choice G&M 43%. Archival – canmore.co.uk). Old photos of the stills show 4 fairly tapered stills with flat lyne arms, exact copies of sister Dufftown’s. High esters – acetone/varnish, wood glue. Maybe chalky white wine, clearly a lighter speysider, with oak that has been hands off. A very clean spirit, maybe a touch of clean white wood, something medicinally sour – quinine? Medium, drying, ‘alkaline’. Brora 3rd Edit...
