This has been a favorite whisky for some time. When it is on, it is all honey, and I love it. Now and again, I get a bitter finish that I dislike. Recently, I have come under the impression that the…

Bought my first bottle of the 12 YO, so thought I would have a line up tonight. Went through the 12,17,21, and last, a sample of a Gordon Macphail 34 YO bottling I lucked into.Briefly, the 12 does not…

This is from a 375 AD Rattray Cask Collection bottling of 17 YO Clynelish. Distilled June 14 of 1995 and bottled in July 11 of 2012. Casked in bourbon hogshead, so no sherry influence here. Bottled at…
