Way back in March when this dram was announced i was really excited, as Douglas Lain really do produce some damn great drams, but i somehow managed to refrain from tying this until very recently.
Cadenheads 43 Year Old Blend
Many thanks to JJ from Whisky Rover who gave me a very generous sample of this cracking blended whisky.
Compass Box 3 Year Old Deluxe
There are very few companies out there that could bottle a Blended Malt, admit that the age statement on it is 3 years old, and actually call it that, and then charge over £180 for it! but then this is no ordinary 3 year old blended malt and Compass Box are no ordinary whisky company.
Imperial 1995 (Signatory Exclusively for The Whisky Exchange)
When this sample arrived i thought yum instantly and wanted to get through it quickly but i've just realised it managed to slip through the pile of samples and has now sold out.
Orchard Pig Truffler
I know it's not the summer but i'm still drinking Cider, and this is yet another Supermarket find that i've picked up to try.
Glenglassaugh Octaves Classic
I don't know how this is possible but it would seem that i've never reviewed a Glenglassaugh dram bottled directly by the distillery before. Crazy i know and came as a real surprise to me when i typed up this review.
Rampur Select Single Malt
An Indian single malt whisky, an expression that many will still be taken back on, but having spent time with Amrut and Paul John whiskies it comes as no surprise to those who have had a number of Indian whiskies in the past.
Glenturret Flys 16 Masters Edition

Brothers Hop Cider
When i drink beer, which isn't often, i drink IPA, so when i was offered a sample of a Hopped Cider, i certainly couldn't say no.
Tamnavulin Single Malt
When a distillery that closed and reopened finally releases a new whisky there's always a bit of intrepidation and excitement, and both are here for Tamnavulin which reopened in 2007 after a 12 year sleep.
Caol Ila 5yr Provenance (Douglas Laing)
Many thanks to JJ at Whisky Rover who kindly shared a generous sample of this smoky monster from his bottle.
Rosebank 15 Year Old (Bottled 1980s)
