Laphroaig 10 – Liquid Emergency Room
Laphroaig sagt: „The most richly flavoured of all Scotch whiskies.“ Ich sage: Das ist die Untertreibung des Jahrhunderts. Das hier…

Millstone 2020/2025 | Sauternes Cask – The Wake-Up Call
All anyone talks about is age statements. 12, 18 — as if older automatically means better. Millstone’s like, “Watch this.”

Glencadam Reserva PX – The Liquid Praline
Glencadam is usually the refined, floral gentleman of the Highlands — “The Rather Delicate Highland Single Malt.” But here? Here he’s rolled up his sleeves.

Ardnamurchan AD/ Mezcal Cask Release – The Scotsman Wears a Sombrero
Mezcal casks are the final boss. Most of the time, they completely run over the whisky. But Ardnamurchan? They’re not afraid. This isn’t a gimmick...

Glen Garioch 2012/2024 MoS24036 – The Alcohol Brawler
Sometimes an experiment just misses the mark. And sometimes it flat-out punches you in the face. Malts of Scotland usually stands for quality. But this one…

Lagavulin 16 – The Gentleman of Islay
You often hear about the “King of Islay,” the unruly peat monster. I say nonsense. Sure, it has power. But it’s far more controlled than its reputation suggests...

Glenfiddich Orchard Experiment – The Sundowner
Glenfiddich talks about added depth from the Pomona cask. What it really brings is a flirtatious sweetness, not true heft. It’s charming, not commanding...

Ardbeg Wee Beastie – Cable Fire in a Glass
Ardbeg officially talks about pine resin and a walk through the woods. I call bullshit. This isn’t a forest — it’s a full-blown bonfire on the beach.

Highland Park 12 – The Selfie Viking
Viking honor. The marketing screams Valhalla, thunder, and axes buried in oak. But in the glass? That’s where the real Viking stands.

Kavalan LÁN – The Model Student
Kavalan is the rising star. The hype is real. But is it justified? LÁN is the whisky that gets everything right.

Scallywag Noir Edition – Champagne Instead of Cookies

Thompson Bros. Mystery Malt Series #5 – The Quiet Giant
Manchmal ist das Lauteste im Raum das, was nichts sagt. Dieser Thompson Bros. Mystery Malt ist genau das. Denn hinter…

Auchentoshan Three Wood – The Complex Misfit
Three casks. Triple distilled. Sounds like the perfect plan. Like harmony, like smoothness, like a Lowlander that wraps everyone around its finger.
