Port Charlotte 16yo 2003-2020 (55.8%, OB)
Lagavulin 20yo 2020 (54.0%, OB)

The 2020 edition of the Feis ile edition was virtual too and I hope it will change rapidly! Here are two bottlings released for this particular event, let’s listen to some Jazz music and review those drams!

J.Bally Brut de fût LMDW 1999-2017 (54.5%)
You could have had my first impressions about this bottling in the 21st February tasting but I wanted to go further because it really got my attention.

Port Charlotte 17yo 2002-2020 (49.7%, Thompson Brothers)

Here we go with a Port Charlotte from the independent bottlers Thompson Brothers so let’s hope it’s good! I like this label very much!

Velier Caroni Tasting Gang 1996-2019 (63.5%)
Velier Caroni The last 1996-2019 (61.9%)
I loved the Tasting Gang concept, if you want to read more about how the selection was done you should take a look to my friend Roger’s article about it.

Port Charlotte OLC: 01 9yo 2010-2021 (55.1%, OB)
Port Charlotte BR: 01 10yo 2007-2018 (62.8%, OB)

It’s not always easy to navigate through Port Charlotte official releases as they are very frequent. So let’s try two Port Charlotte official bottlings that were advised by friends.

Kill Devil Hampden 2007-2018 (63.5%)
Twelve Hampden 2007-2018 (68.5%)
Flensburg Hampden 2007-2020 (66.8%)
Ester bombs alert! The 2007 vintage normally means C<>H mark, there is no doubts it’s gonna be funky! But esters and young didn’t match every time in my own experience so let’s see how they are!

Longrow 2007 11yo 2007-2019 (56.9%, OB)

The last Longrow I tasted was very good so I looked after another one on my stashes and here is what I found.

A speyside distillery 18yo 2001-2020 (52.3%)
Hazelburn 18yo 2001-2020 (47.4%, OB)
Longrow 10yo 2020 (53.7%, OB)


Let’s try some bottlings released for the Virtual Open day of the Campbeltown festival 2020!
