I started this series around cask and batch-strength malts with an underappreciated, juicy, sherry-cask-driven malt blend, Old Perth’s take on cask-strength whisky. It is only fitting for the series to… Read More »Full ABV ahead: Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength Review
Today, I am cheating. The whisky I am about to review, the Ardbeg Uigeadail, is not a cask strength whisky, and, as such, it should not appear in this series. At best, it can be classified as a batch strength bottling. But i am crowbaring it in due to sentimentality.
Most of his series about Cask Strength Scottish whisky core releases has focused on bottles with some peat influence. I started with Glasgow Distillery’s Peated Cask Strength to finally make… Read More »Full ABV ahead: Kilchoman Batch Strength Review
This series dedicated to Cask Strength malts takes a turn today. All of the whiskies I reviewed in the series up to now were unpeated. For the next reviews, peat will be in the mix in a major or secondary role. Starting with today’s review of the Glasgow 1770 Peated Cask Strength.

I needed a wee time to recover from the Glasgow Whisky Festival 2024. So, it is time to pick up where I left off and dive back into new Scottish distilleries. On today’s program, my review of the Torabhaig Cnoc Na Moine.
After a row of lowland whiskies from Clydeside to Lagg, I needed to go to the complete opposite side of Scotland and what is currently the Northernmost distillery with whisky available for sale in the Scottish Mainland. Today I will review the Wolfburn Morven lightly peated single malt.
While I continue my new distillery exploration, it’s time for a doubleheader with this review of the Lagg Kilmory and Corriecravie editions. We are still in the Lowlands technically, though many would argue that, at least geographically, this whisky is self-evidently an Island whisky.
I continue my exploration of new distilleries with The Glasgow Distillery. I have three of their Glasgow 1770 Small Batch Series in review today: the 2024 Unepeated Tokaji finish, the 2023 “Unpeated” Manzanilla cask Finish and 2022’s Red Wine Peated and Ruby Port triple distilled vatting.
