Balcones 3yo 2017-2021 (62.9%, Archives)

You should now all know my love for hyped 3yo malts by now! I personally love the mindset behind the Archives bottlings and their guys are clearly trying to get the best whiskies possible so I’m pretty interested in trying this 3yo Single Malt from Texas!

Linkwood 13yo 2007-2020 (59.6%, Archives)
Caol Ila 12yo 2007-2020 (57.4%, Archives)

I don’t know about you but personally I’m totally into this kind of fishes! Here are some of the most recent Archives releases, let’s try those!

Caol Ila 7yo 2011-2019 (57.5%, Elixir Distillers)

We already tried a lot of those elixirs but it seems that we completely forgot about Caol Ila, so let’s fix this!

Highland Park 13yo 2007-2020 (57.1%, OB)
Equilibrium I 10yo 2003/2010 (52%, Whisky Sponge)
Caperdonich 25yo 1995-2021 (52%, Whisky Sponge)

Already heard about the “Whisky Sponge” independent bottler? I’m personally fan of the sense of humor in their wonderful labels and crazy descriptions! But that’s not it, let’s try what’s inside those beautiful bottles!

Bimber 3yo 2016-2020 (58.5%, OB for LMDW)
Bowmore Springtide “2016 edition” (54.9%, OB)
Smögen 6yo 2020 “100 Proof – Batch 1” (57.1%, OB)

Let’s try those three young sherry whiskies today, yes it’s very young but we still could find some hidden gems in there, aren’t we?

Speyside 30yo 1988-2019 (53.7%, Le Gus’t)
Speyside 32yo 1988-2021 (55.3%, Le Gus’t)

A well informed bird told me it is some Macallan’s malt in these bottles (teaspooned), let’s try those old sherried dram. Let’s be honest a minute, that clearly the oldest Macallan’s I ever tasted and I’ll probable ever taste!

Glen Ord 10yo 2010-2015 (48%, Thompson Brothers)
Clynelish 8yo 2010-2019 (57.5%, SMWS)

I wanted to taste something fruity today, so I decided to grab some young first fill bourbon dram and see what happens!

For this second part of our Other spirits Live tasting session in duo with my brother we tasted 252 years of history and it was crazy!

Bruichladdich 26yo 1991-2018 (55.2%, Blackadder)
Bruichladdich 29yo 1990-2020 (48.1%, Dramfool)

Today I’m gonna try two old Bruichladdich which come from the ’90s, so before they closed in 1994. I heard words about these old Bruichladdich so it’s time to taste some by myself!

Jean-Luc Pasquet 1967-2020 “#8 Le voyageur: Lot 67” (40.6%, Malternative Belgium)

Today I’m tasting the last cognac release of “Malternative Belgium” a Belgian Independent Bottler. Well you could have guessed for the Belgian part. Let’s try it with my “Whisky-lover” point of view!
