Sticking on theme thanks to @backforthewhisky.bsky.social . This one tastes old in a good way. Slightly waxy, creamy, chocolate, coffee, rum and raisin. Very nice.

It still has that slightly solventy, gluey thing that often turns me off grain whisky, but a long time in cask has tempered it somewhat and it’s got a decent amount of flavour with chocolate, caramel, coffee, blackcurrant jam, coconut and vanilla.

The family have done a good job today. A birth year whisky to open this evening and then a breakfast dram for the next month 😂

I realise I am in minority as everybody seems to have loved this, but it wasn’t my favourite Glen Scotia. However, the bottle is empty now so it’s certainly not a bad drop!

Really enjoyed this one. I will continue to hope Signatory can give us more ex-bourbon cask whiskies in the 100 proof series.

A long, but enjoyable day celebrating our daughters 5th birthday. Time to relax with a fresh bottle of Scapa 10. Peppa approves 😂

I eeked it out as long as I could, but sadly it’s time to say goodbye to this delicious Highland Park 😢

Despite my firm love of all things ex-bourbon these days, this is going to be sorely missed

Found a sample of the refill ex-bourbon 10 year old. Both have similarities, but the 8 year old from first-fill casks dials up the fruit and just edges it in my opinion. Both excellent.

Enjoying this 10 year old Bladnoch released in 2020 this evening. Glad of the sample as I’m still not quite ready to open the bottle 😂
