That’s the first time we use this event template because of the Covid. We created it to share our thoughts after tasting with friends or some events like Salon du Rhum Belgique when they’ll be able to open doors. We use a star-based rating because we can’t be as accurate as we are when we’re tasting some rums alone at home all the time in a similar setup.
Aberlour 18yo 2002-2020 (62.6%, OB for LMDW)
Today I am trying an Aberlour and to be honest I didn’t tasted a lot of those in the past! The last one was an Abunad’h and it was decent, so today I hope that I will taste a great one!

Glen Elgin 31yo 2004-2015 (47.2%, Signatory Vintage)
When I was looking at good price/quality ratio I though about this dram, it’s clearly not the same pricetag as the drams in the last article but I can tell you that it’s worth every euros you put in.
