A short verticale of Girvan grain
www.whiskyfun.com
Back from wonderful Scotland with a totally clogged nose. Palate isn’t much better. Even the dreadful Dufftown ‘SS Wallachia’ we had this week would smell of… nothing (quite an improvement). I’ve got plenty of other pre-war whiskies yet to taste but that’ll happen later on! In the meantime, we’ll ha...

Special Club (Wilson & Son Glasgow, Italy, blend, 1930s) With Thomas. This one bears an Italian fascist emblem so it’s not too hard to date, it’s from the 1930s (faccetta nera dell’abissinia aspetta e spera che gia’ l’ora si avvicina… ) Colour: gold. Nose: sweet, with oranges, bitter chocolate, gree...

Nose: an approachable Port Ellen, classic mid-seventies, with oysters, seashore, tincture of iodine and only little tar or heavy oil...

Old Vatted Glenlivet Whisky (44.2%, OB, blend, Andrew Usher & Co, pre-1907) One of the earliest versions of the seminal OVG. The cork was driven, the ABV was measured with an electronic device at Whythe & Mackay’s right yesterday. No ABV was mentioned on the label. The composition of this blend was…

A Gaussian verticale of Tamdhu
www.whiskyfun.com
We’ll try to go deep today, because Tamdhu used to be a magnificent spirit. I’m not saying it isn’t anymore, not at all, but there’s probably much inspiration to be found in the distillery’s past…

A new bunch of middle-aged Clynelish
www.whiskyfun.com
There’s more middle-aged Clynelish and we won’t complain. Today we’ll have some from 1995, 1996 and 1997, but we won’t follow a vertical order, rather sort them by increasing strength. Safer like that…

Some Irish, most from Midleton
www.whiskyfun.com
Midleton and Irish Distillers keep pushing it with several new versions of Midleton. We won’t complain, many have already been excellent in 2012 and the year before – in my own little book of course.
