This little secret highland has been listed on Whisky-Doris website as a Clynelish, so I think that we now know what kind of secret highland whisky is in the bottle!

Nobilis Rum Hampden 1993
Nobilis Rum Hampden 1993-2020 (66%)
Last week I talked about the new Danish bottler « Nobilis Rum » and his first bottling, a great 32yo Enmore. I had the privilege of being the first blogger to taste their second bottling, huge thanks to Nobilis team.
The first Dornoch cask & some friends!

Bimber 2020 (57.9%, OB, cask #144)
Auchroisk 31 yo 1989 (44.6%, Thompson Brothers)
The Thompson brothers released a pack of samples which sold very quickly with some of their last bottlings. I managed to get my hands on a half of a set and I’m happy to taste this first Dornoch release : cask #001. There are also other younger Dornoch casks, the last Bimber’s and Auchroisk from Thompson’s Brothers. Let’s try those!

Velier Appleton Hearts Collection 1995-2020 (63%)
Velier Appleton Hearts Collection 1994-2020 (60%)
The last Velier release, a trio of Appleton’s aged for more than 20 years in the tropics! Like every Velier bottling it’s very hard to catch a bottle but is it worth it?
A young Craigellachie
Craigellachie 6 yo 2013-2020 (65.3%, Asta Morris)
I always liked what Asta Moris releases, most of the time it’s great quality and low price tag. Let’s try this little frog, I have litterally no idea about what this Craigellachie will be!
Nobilis Rum Enmore 1988
Nobilis Rum Enmore (Versailles) 1988-2020 (49.1%)
This is the first bottling of the brand new Danish independent bottler « Nobilis Rum« .
Nobilis started as a local rum club and has now only 5 members left. As part of this club, Kenneth suggested to the others to start as independent bottler. Kenneth shared with me the Nobilis ideology : they want to release only extraordinary casks, they won’t go on compromise with the quality and they’ll bottle only casks they would buy themselves. So watch out for their upcoming releases and follow us to discover each of them. I’ll review their second bottling next week, a 1993 Hampden.
The cake and the beast
Glenmorangie « A Tale of Cake » (46%, OB, 2020)
Ardbeg 5 yo « Wee Beastie » (47.4%, OB, 2020)
Those are 2 recent releases. I really wanted to try it as most of the time I’m not a big fan of NAS or really young whisky so let’s give those a try!
Barbados madness
Cave Guildive W.I.R.D 2000-2017 (56%)
Cadenhead’s Black Rock 1986-1999 (73.4%)
Barbados rums are mainly known because of Foursquare and Mount gay, but you could have missed the West Indies Rum Distillery! They were using the Rockley still in the past, the two rums I’ll taste today are coming from this still. The Cadenhead’s was bottled in 1999, this is the oldest release I have tasted yet.
Some 90’s Irish!
