Reviews of whiskies from independent bottlers
We celebrate the festive season with something special as we’re tasting two Coleburn Signatory Vintage for Christmas.
We have an indy bottling for the day 22 of our Cognac-Expert Advent Calendar, with a Les Grandes Jouberteries Lot 65 Authentic Spirits.
The 18th pouch of the 2025 Cognac-Expert Advent Calendar hid a depressive sounding La Récession 42-year-old, yet far from depressing to drink!
November’s session of the Rennes Whisky Club saw our members taste three independent Glen Ord, a distillery rarely seen as official in Europe.
We review five Indy Mannochmore, as the Speyside distillery owned by Diageo does not release much officially, its production going to blends.
We introduce Ballindalloch, our first single estate Speyside whisky, joined by a selection of indy bottled Glenfarclas from the same town.
We take a look at the official Benromach 21- and (discontinued) 35-year-old, and 2013 from Maltbarn, bottled under the name ‘Glen Mosset’.
We take a look at the Loch Lomond Distillery Edition #6 & Croftengea 2006 by The Whisky Agenc: two distinctive Scottish malts explored.
We explore Lowlands malts with two releases from The Whisky Agency: a Glenkinchie 2008 and an Auchentoshan 1999.
We review two single grains from a lost distillery: the Dumbarton 1986 Scott’s Selection and 2000 The Caskhound.
Five Ben Nevis, five indy bottlers: Wilson & Morgan, Swell de Spirits, Hidden Spirits, Elixir Distillers & Signatory Vintage, one review!
We review a pair of indie Glenburgie with a 16-year-old That Boutique-y Whisky Company and a 14-year-old Chorlton Whisky.
