Early Times Kentucky Whisky is currently owned by Sazerac, but this little bottle was distilled by Brown-Forman. How do I know? Because Sazerac (Buffalo Trace) bought ET in 2020 and announced it would be produced at their Barton 1792 facility in 2021. This little guy has been sitting in my review cabinet for at least […]

Bottled around 1976, there is very little online about the St. Dennis Very Special Blended Scotch. And by very little I mean just one other post which is a listing for a bottle of this. A listing that’s selling it for $50. Which, after having tried several bottles of it, is about $100 too much […]

Full of fresh fruit flavours and aromas, quite green and spirit driven – I suspected a refill cask and confirmed by the bottling details. Pleasant, a good base whisky and nice insight into Blair Athol spirit. 82/100
A truly delicious combination of tropical fruit, nuts and exotic oak wood influence full of earthy and woody spices and chocolate. It is hard to compare this unique piece of liquid history other than to say it is on par with some of the oldest Scotch s…
A few years ago, the Malt Nuts did a crazy vertical of Longrow 18 Years and I’m finally posting the review of my bottle from that night… and killing it off in the process. Do you sense a theme in these recent posts? Beyond it all being Springbank distilled stuff that is. As I was […]

Independently Bottled Springbanks, like this 1993 The Bottlers Springbank 16 Years, have long been a hot commodity. This particular bottle I picked up for a Malt Nuts Springbank tasting we did in 2015 and I’m now, finally, posting the review and killing the bottle while I do it. There is a part of me that […]

I know the Springbank 12 Years Cask Strength is made from 100% ex-Bourbon casks because it’s front and center on Springbank’s website. It’s a small thing to do, but a huge piece of info for whisky nerds. A small detail by Springbank to show they know their fans and what they want to know. Whisky […]

Founded 194 years ago (1828), Springbank is a distillery of some renown and this whisky, Springbank 10 Years, is their current flagship offering. If you giggled when I said “some renown”, then you are a true whisky nerd and know that’s an understatement. Whisky nerds go ga-ga for Springbank which makes it increasingly difficult to […]

September 27, 2022 – Kentucky distillers set a new production record in 2021, according to state revenue department data released today by the Kentucky Distillers Association. Distillers filled more than 2 million barrels for the fourth consecutive year, and had a total of nearly 12 million barrels of Bourbon and other spirits aging in the state’s rickhouses as of January 1, when they’re required to file an inventory report with the state. The inventory generated a total of $40 million in “barrel taxes,” the property tax leveled on every barrel of maturing spirits in a distiller’s inventory. That money goes Read More »
Drinkable and well-textured (light & silky or smooth) as expected from The Glenlivet. Filled with plenty of fruit, some tropical, with a touch of syrup and spice to help it along. A refreshing alternative to The Glenlivet’s classic 12 Year old expr…
