On to one I really do like... --> Bladnoch 1990/14yo Cask 985 46% (unchill) Sig Almost gone without a spare..

Moving on to the Unchillfiltered section: --> Linkwood 1995/14yo cask 641 46% Signatory proof is up 3%... watch out... :0

Laph = goodness

Sorry dude.

Well a rep would say that... I am a big fan of Robin Coupar (rep) (he fed me lots of beverage).. But safe to say that some of the best beverages that I have ever had are OB (official bottlings from the distillery).. But the Independent's give you all the views of the juice that is out there. Single cask variations are a lot of fun.

Neil Young - Harvest Moon

on a role (43% is easy drinking) touch o peat: --> Caol Ila 1989/7yo casks 4518-4522 43% Sig (Half Bottle)

Lots of cereal and grain notes... young with not much cask influence... but nice, nice and clean

One year later and one year younger --> Bladnoch 1989/8yo Casks 405-409 43% Signatory (half bottle) I like these half bottles. edit - it pours almost clear, must have been a very used cask

Wow that looks pretty

Another 88 9yo (hmm that sounds wrong) --> Linkwood 1988/9yo casks (2757 & 43% Sig (half bottle) edit (oh 8 with a close ')' makes

Miles Davis - 1958 - Live at Newport (with Thelonious Monk)

So I picked out a set of Signatory's for the evening.. will see how far I get --> Mortlach 1988/9yo cask 2622 43% Signatory bottle Start with the low proof stuff

turn the fax on

An old bottling: --> Glen Keith 1967 22yo 45.6% bottled by Cadenhead (aka stubby Cad)

Double down the HP12... nice!

Yay... beverage night.... --> Bowmore 22yo 'ceramic' 43% (getting low these days)

Getting ready for Summer beverages.. 4 x Juslyn 2010 Sauv Blanc

I just noticed... that these last two bottles are sister casks. The 29yo was cask 33033 and the 30yo was cask 33041... Interesting to have them back to back, can see the thread between them.. Just a little more character on the 30yo, but I love the nose on the 29.. hmm maybe try a vatting. Cheers,

kicking it up by one year --> Carsebridge 79/30 54.8% Duncan Taylor
