Fragrant Drops 23yo Port Dundas

Southport Whisky Festival in July this year gave me the chance to have a proper try of some drams from Indie bottler Fragrant Drops.

George & Rachel allowed us to try a few different bottles, my favourite and the one I immediately bought was a 23yo Port Dundas!

Side by side: a trio from Saltire Rare Malts

Saltire Rare Malt Whisky Company have been going for a few years now, with regular releases from their warehouse stocks.

This latest trio of releases include Port Dundas, Tamnavulin and a mystery bottling, let's see what they are like.

Loch Lomond Distillery Edition Nine

@LochLomondMalts have just released the ninth in their Distillery Edition series going back to Long Fermentation.

This time it's a 10yo, let's try it!

London Distillery Company - Embarque

The third release from the Renascence of the London Distillery Company, this time taking us on a journey!

A sherry finished dram - let's see what it's like!

Springbank 100 Proof

It's not very often you have the chance to buy a bottle of Springbank, it's rarely in stock anywhere or available for a reasonable price unless you visit the distillery shop.

Our recent Driven By Drams visit to Campbeltown gave us the chance to buy a bottle of this new release!

Glasgow 1770 Ruby Port

I've had some of these bottles on my shelf for a few months now, the first is nearly half gone, time for a review!

One of my favourite distilleries and one of my favourite maturations - let's give it a try!

Weetwood's The Cheshire - 5yo

For their 6th release @weetwoodcheshire have bottled a 5yo!

I've really enjoyed all of their bottlings to date so bought some of these straight away!

Port Ellen 33yo

In 25+ years of drinking whisky I've never tried a Port Ellen. It's obviously too expensive to buy a bottle but finally I've been gifted a sample from a mate!

Is Port Ellen a special dram? Let's find out!

One Cask At A Time - First release

One Cask At A Time is a new independent bottler based in Edinburgh, they sent me a sample set from their first release to review.

Let's give them a try!
