Bunch of samples: Chichibu Wine Wood Reserve, pair of Clynelishes, Higland Park Ice and trio of Taliskers: 20 yo, 25 yo and 30 yo

Several samples arrived so why not taste them all?

March tasting was dedicated to Murray McDavid bottlings.

Highland Park 16 yo single cask #5831 for Maxxium 58.7%

Orkney malt at cask strength is always a pleasure... Especially when it's single cask :)

One night in ... Ledaig

Threatening set of 6 cask strength samples from 6 different bottlers, ABV varies from 55.1% to 61.9%, only the strongest will survive :) 

Glendronach Parliament 21 yo, Benromach 30 yo, Laphroaig 18 yo Berry Best and Port Ellen 28 yo DL Platinum

Can't find the right idea for this tasting: sherry and bourbon? Speyside and Islay?

Miyagikyo 15 yo 45%

Discontinued and often neglected malt. 

Exploring sea malts: Clynelish 14 yo TWA, Bowmore 13 yo TWA, Caol Ila 19 yo TWA, Lagavulin 14 yo DD and Laphroaig 15 yo TWA

General theme of this tasting would be sea and its influence on malts.

Tonight we'll travel from Orkney to Western Hebrydes with intermediate stop in Campbelltown.
