Caledonian From 29 – To 48-Year-Old
We review three old single grains today, with three Caledonian from 29- to 48-year-old, from That Boutique-y Whisky Company and Scott’s Selection.
Single Grain
Two 47-year-old Invergordon & Girvan
On the table today: a Girvan 1964 from Scott’s Selection and an Invergordon 1975 bottled in 2022 by Alambic Classique. I indulge in two 47‑year‑old single grains to mark a personal milestone. After another year quietly added itself to the tally – reaching a number that still feels implausibly large – what better way to acknowledge the passage of time than with a pair of whiskies that share the same depth and maturity (I’ll concede, in my case, nothing’s won yet)?
Dumbarton 1986 Scott’s / 2000 Caskhound
We review two single grains from a lost distillery: the Dumbarton 1986 Scott’s Selection and 2000 The Caskhound.
Two Ondjaba Namibian Whiskies
Something quite different on our table with two Ondjaba Namibian whiskies, where peat is replaced by elephant dung.
Two 1973 Cameronbridge 37yo Scott’s Selection
We review two whiskies we expect to be close: same distillery, vintage, bottler and age: two 1973 Cameronbridge 37yo Scott’s Selection.
Three Indy Invergordon Aged Over 40
Invergordon primarily contributes to blends, official single grain bottlings remain rare: we review three indy Invergordon aged over 40 years.
Port Dundas 46 and 47yo Scott’s Selection
We review the Port Dundas 46 and 47yo Scott’s Selection, from what was once Scotland’s largest distillery, and a founding member of DCL.
Circumstance Single Grain Wheat and Rye
We review the Circumstance Single Grain Wheat and Rye whiskies, as the young Bristol-based distillery does things a bit differently.
Circumstance 2019 / Glentauchers 2013 Thompson Bros
The Thompson Brothers are quite some busy men. On top of their strongly recognised whisky bar, their independent bottling operation
North British 1989 & North of Scotland 1973 Scott’s Selection
We review two ‘North of’ single grains today with North British 1989 & North of Scotland 1973 bottled by Scott’s Selection.
The Whisky Cellar Series 004 Tweet Tasting
@whisky_cellar is back for its fourth @TweetTastings, and obviously @Coldorak could not miss that event. He tries the new Brig O’Perth, a Tobermory bottled by @TheScalasaig, and for Whisky Cellar bottlings.
Braeckman Distillery 10-year-old
@Coldorak discovers you shouldn’t wait for months to try a sample in a plastic bottle… and tries to review a Braeckman 10yo single grain single cask.
