Springbank 32 yo 46%

Springbank 32 yo 46% - distillery and malt you don't need to introduce. Bottled in a remote year of 2004 with spirit itself laid in casks in 1971.

Set of Maltbarns: Clynelish 21 yo, Tullibardine 27 yo and Invergordon 44 yo

This German bottler has already gained very good reputation and we are trying to get all new releases for tasting.

Littlemill 21 yo First Release 46%

We've been thinking for a long time whether we should buy a bottle for tasting and finally we did it.

Brora 1982/2015 GM and Linkwood 1987/2015 Cadenhead

It's always nice to taste some Brora, do not hesitate to call me anytime :)

Summer tasting 08.06.2016: Bladnoch 21 yo, Highland Park 1975, Port Ellen 1969 and Tomatin 40 yo

On drear days you should take old Tomatin...

Sherry gems of Speyside 08.07.2016

Sherry gems of Speyside. One more summer tasting with Kiev malt band: Sergii, Valerii, Alex and Andrii. The idea was to take different sherried speysiders from small to large.

Summer tasting 02.08.2016: Taketsuru 12, 17 and 21 yo, Tobermory 20 yo, Benriach 1976 and Blair Athol 25 yo Artist #4

Quite interesting line-up today :) my friend Sergii was leaving for a business-trip so that was perfect reason for a tasting, you know...

Summer tasting 27.07.2016: Glendronach 15 yo, Islay and Linkwood 31 yo Cd

What about drinking some Islay in summer?.. Off-the-cuff tasting with Sergii took place this week.

Miltonduff 42 yo 1964/2006 Signatory cask #1152 45.1%

Hello world! This summer I've enjoyed a very interesting format of blind tasting in one of FB groups...

Springbanks super set 2016 and Talisker 35 yo

Springbank is one my favourite distilleries. Autumn has come so it's definitely right time to taste their new expressions.

Valera's birthday tasting on 22.09.2016: Dalmore 18 yo, van Wees set, Longmorn 25 yo GM, Signet and Glenglassaugh 41 yo

I have a comrade much more fond of whisky than I am. At least I can't taste 20-30 drams a day as he does during some festivals. I will work on that, I promise :)

Macallan 1971 GM Speymalt 40%

I was a bit afraid of commercial strength (I won't even tell the price of a dram as my wife can read this), but I was wrong.

Ukraine Independence Day 2016 tasting

A national holiday was coming and we decided to have some nice holiday tasting. Actually we don't need reasons for it, but when you have the one it's easier to open something really special :)

Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 1990 46%

Ardbeg... What can we say about this distillery except for having the best canteen on Islay? :) 

Glenfarclas 21 yo 51.5% (bottled in 1974 for Mr Edward Giaccone)

Nothing extraordinary was going to happen when suddenly such Glenfarclas appeared on horizon... 

Highland Park Earl Haakon 18 yo 54.9% vs Highland Park 25 yo 48.1%

Let's start my blogging experience with one of my favourite distilleries (if not the most favourite one). The idea is to compare 2 great malts from Highland Park distillery I absolutely adore.
