Williamson 7yo 2013-2020 (60.5%, Archives)

What about a little young Laphroaig at Cask Strength to end the week?! Here’s the last fish of the set, let’s try it and see if it’s on par with all the gems we already found underwater these past weeks!

Speyside Region 21yo 1998-2020 (54%, Archives)
Secret Speyside 30yo 1990-2021 (50.2%, Archives)

Yeah those two are from Glenrothes and I’m quite thrilled to taste them face to face since they are both quite old, from an Hogshead cask and from Archives! What’s your bet guys?

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)

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!

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)
