I quite liked the 8 year old (though I never got around to reviewing it). As you say, I just think it’s a fantastic price for that kind of whisky.

Wow! That must be quite something. I never had a whisky even close to this age… oO

This one is especially awesome. There’s not much that can compete with it. And contrary to most cases I understand the price of a bottle of this stuff. Unfortunately, it’s WAY out of my league…

Nice review! I bought the 35 years old Glen Alba from Lidl last year. It was the first “high-class” whisky from a discounter that I ever bought and I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. With...

One of my friends bought the 11yo Islay (Ben Bracken, I believe) and it’s okay, but not really good. In that case there’s other, better things to get with the money. Like a bottle of Lagavulin 16 or so…

I only found out about Blackadder’s Raw Cask bottlings last year and been intrigued by them ever since. In November, I finally bought my first bottle, a Red Snake expression without a distillery or age...

I would suggest trying the Raw Cask bottlings before buying them. I’ve had some very lovely ones, but some I’ve had over the years were too strong, and too one dimensional. The three of us did buy some...

I am pretty sure, the Raw Cask bottling I bought falls into that category. At 62 Euro, I mainly based my choice on the price. I really wanted to have a bottle with those floating cask fragments at...

Just received a bottle of this a couple weeks ago. Looking forward to trying the style. I’m in the US and was just browsing online for a particular Clynelish, which BOW happened to have in stock. I...
View ArticleComment on Highland Park Ice, 17yo, 53.9% by Tobi@BarleyMania
Read some positive and some not-so-positive things about this whisky. Biggest complaint seems to be the very steep price… personally, I’d love to try the Highland Park Ice and I’d also love to have...

If you’re in it for the whisky, you’re better of skipping this. From indie bottlers you can get the same quality for a third of the price. Personally, I think the bottle looks ridiculous and every time...

Nice! Have this one (and several others) waiting to be tasted some time in the near future. Very, very curious about all these old Irish whiskeys.

quite right in saying it’s not the best HP. Buy only if you’re a fan of Elsa and Anna 😉

The 57 North is one of my very fave Taliskers. I love its fierce, biting strength! The Dark Storm, I only ever had once so far. I remember it being quite good as well. All in all, I am not too...

Yup, but as it turns out, I don’t buy too many NAS whiskies, somehow. There’s quite a few I liked, and quite a few I didn’t. But I sure haven’t bought too many of them…
