Campbelltown vs Lowlands: Longrow 21 yo and Springbank 21 yo (bottled 1998) vs Littlemill WB cask #34 and Littlemill 1989 TWA

The age is more or less the same, all 4 samples are quite rare and hopefully tasty, so let the regions battle begin...

Elements of Islay: Lg5, Lg6, Lp7 and Laphroaig 10 yo CS batch #009

At last it's raining after a week of summer heat, nice occasion to have a few drams of Islay. Thanks to Andrii and congrats!

2 new Highland Parks (Rebus 30 and Valkyrie) + 5 malts worth 90/100 or even more: Springbank 12 yo Burgundy, Springbank 21 yo single cask, Glen Ord 28 yo, Tomatin 30 yo and Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist

Actually it all should have ended with Glen Ord, but we decided to add Tomatin 30 yo for dessert and eventually a sample of Ardbeg was summoned to this rank of warriors...

Grand Maltbarn summer tasting: Ireland 27 yo, Fettercairn 29 yo, Blair Athol 28 yo, Tobermory 22 yo, Inchgower 35 yo, Speyside 43 yo, Paragon very old + bonus: Clynelish 21 yo DT, Glen Garioch 25 yo TWA and Dailuane 31 yo TWA

The tasting took place in hospitable Double Whisky located in Poltava, Ukraine. 

Post #100 and .... Bunnahabhain 40 yo 41.7%!

I've decided to celebrate post #100 with something really special. Actually that would be post #101, but who cares, one of them was a summary of year 2016 highlights, so it doesn't count. 

Glenglassaugh 30 yo, Glenglassaugh 39 yo, Glendronach 25 yo Grandeur, Brora 30 yo IM and Ardbeg Kelpie CR

Initially it was planned as comparison of two Glenglassaugh, but then three more malts were added.

Ledaig 9 yo Maltbarn, Springbank 12 yo (batch #9), Glendronach Grandeur 25 yo (batch #7) and Dalwhinnie 29 yo 1973

Quite a break occurred (summertime, you know), so let's open July page with 4 very decent malts.
