Kilchoman and Ardnamurchan Kilch Ard 2015
Single Malt — Scotland
Reviewed March 13, 2020 (edited July 26, 2020)Ok I thought google knew everything. Even if i horribly mistyped google would remedy it...but this is a ghost whisky...I just can't for the life of me find anything about it other than a random foreign language Twitter feed pick and the fact that I drank it and loved it. Decent price as well. Two great distilleries come together and surprise surprise make an awesome dram! Update: Mashing words around I see there is now a random whisky base entry https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/151184/unknown-kilchard -
The Cardrona Single Malt Single Cask Pinot Noir
Single Malt — Central Otago, New Zealand
Reviewed March 13, 2020Ah man I really want to see NZ distilleries succeed but when they sell a 375 ml bottle for $110USD it better be mindblowing and this isn't even great. Released Nov 2019. -
Lammermoor Cask Strength Single Malt 2 1/2 year
Single Malt — Central Otago, New Zealand
Reviewed March 13, 2020Another great Lammermoor -
Lammermoor Manuka Smoked whisky small cask
Single Malt — Central Otago, New Zealand
Reviewed March 13, 2020Diversification is a handy survival tool in life and these guys are doing it all. Full time sheep station, run fishing and other tours and distill up to 8 hrs a day. Not to sure when they sleep! Another great job. I think the casking for these is only 20 litres as well although they've laid down a lot of std casking. -
Lammermoor Single Malt 3 1/2 years age small cask
Single Malt — Central Otago, New Zealand
Reviewed March 13, 2020 (edited March 15, 2020)I haven't been a huge fan of NZ whiskey distilleries so far. Workshops blah, Thompsons so so, Cardrona average and hideously overpriced. FINALLY I found two with promise Lammermoor and Divergence. Now when I chatted to the couple who were the owners and they said they were farmers I was like... good sign as Dingle's head distiller was a farmer. Right given it's a little known distillery heres the background Lammermoor Station illegally distilled ‘moonshine’ for all those who travelled the Dunstan Trail an early gold miners trail. In the early 1900s the Elliot family began to farm the 15,000 acre station, which is nestled in the Central Otago region of New Zealand. Although the distillery was no longer functioning the current distillers grandfather reminded him of the Station's original still which he found shortly after his return from the war. Unfortunately they couldn't find it so they started afresh. I didn't keep notes as my that stage my handwriting was illegible but I was impressed. They aren't selling this stuff for some reason but giving it away with official hipflasks (which are quite expensive so really they are selling it but not to sure why they don't sell separately). Anyhow they have good taste buds and i'm looking fwd to the future. -
Bladnoch 17 Year California Red Wine Cask Finish
Single Malt — Lowlands, Scotland
Reviewed March 12, 2020 (edited October 18, 2024)Dramfest 2020. I think this is a spirit where having a slightly numb palate from numerous drams prior helps as the ethanol doesn't register as much but the flavour did. -
Bladnoch Adela 15 Year
Single Malt — Lowlands, Scotland
Reviewed March 12, 2020 (edited October 6, 2021)Dramfest 2020. I'm quite liking Bladnochs offerings. They don't blow you away but still very decent if overpriced drams.
