Blind Pig Whiskey Honey and Apple Cider
I'm all for interesting, sweet, and tasty cider and cider based drinks so when I seen this Blind Pig Whiskey Honey and Apple Cider in the supermarket i just had to pick up a bottle to give it a try, and well... it said Whiskey too!
Strathisla 2005 Distillery Labels (Gordon and MacPhail)
Strathisla is another of those distilleries that have just not really been on my radar, and i might have missed a few really good drams because of it.
Port Dundas 11yr Old Particular (Douglas Laing)
I've been through a couple of this bottles, and a sample, before getting round to finally writing my notes on this, its just so damn drinkable.
Strathclyde 10yr Old Particular (Douglas Laing)
This dram is a sister cask to the Mystery Single Grain that i tried at Douglas Laing a couple of years back.
Cameronbridge 24yr Old Particular (Douglas Laing)
When someone suggested matching this Cameronbridge 24 year old with a spiced mixed fruit scone with clotted cream and mixed fruit jam i was a little sceptical, but it was an absolute delight.
Loch Lomond 19yr Old Particular (Douglas Laing)
Another interesting Douglas Laing single grain this Loch Lomond 19 year old has much more cereal and spice notes than i was expecting.
Cambus 24yr Old Particular (Douglas Laing)
This awesome single grain whisky from the closed Cambus distillery arrived as part of my Douglas Laing fellows pack.
Girvan 50yr XOP (Douglas Laing)
a 50 year old single grain whisky, yes please, anything that is older than you are really has to be experienced to be believed and when you get to a certain age it becomes harder to find whiskies that are of that extra age.

First up on the Gordon and MacPhail Rare Vintages Tweet Tasting from The Whisky Wire was the youngest of the drams, this 1985 Balblair.
Bowmore 1999 Old Particular Feis Ile 2016 (Douglas Laing)
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.
