It's our 13 year Maltiversary today! We're celebrating this one as we did our first Maltiversary, by reviewing a Lagavulin Distiller's Edition.

In our opinion, blended malts don't get enough love, especially when a company does them as well as @DLaingWhisky does them. And this 21 Year Old Rock Island Limited Edition is an extra special one:

This anagrammic dram from @IslayWhiskyCo is one that grows on you--and quite the value, too! Check out John's review below. Well done, @dr_whisky and @AtomBrands !

An oldie, but an extremely good goodie: the Balblair 1983-2014. This one was from before the rebranding, but man, what a whisky! See Stephen's review here:

The third release from @simplywhisky is a cracking little beast. A four year-old straight corn whiskey from @BalconesWhisky bottled at 65.7% abv! See John’s review here:

This is a really nice @WemyssMalts blended malt from a little while back now. A limited edition Highland and Islay blended malt--perfect for throwing a wrinkle into tastings of various themes... Check out Bill's review here:

This is a nice damn whisky. Hear rumors it's from a distillery that starts with an L... The finish is remarkable.

As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of Diageo's 2021 Special Releases, here's one of our last reviews of the 2020 SRs.

This 8 Year Old @TaliskerWhisky is just wonderful. If you can still find one, it's well worth buying.

The @UncleNearest 1856 Premium Whiskey is a lovely one! Bill writes, among other things, that in this whiskey "boldness and hedonistic pleasure fight for the victory—and the game is already in triple overtime."

We love the story behind the @UncleNearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey--and the juice is quite nice, too! Check out our review:

We don't do Armagnac very often, but when we do, we really do. Thanks to #TaylorWhiskey for the samples!

The @WaterfordWhisky Dunbell 1.1 is a non-chillfiltered, single farm, single malt Irish whiskey from @markreynier's new distillery. We didn't talk about those interesting factors though, preferring instead to dig into the flavors. A lot to explore here.

Absolutely gutted by the news about Gable Erenzo. We memorialize him in this post:

Astounding dram. Perhaps the sweetest mouth we've ever experienced in a whisky. Bravo @monocaskism !

We love the singular flavors #GarryanaOak imparts, and no one has brought out those flavors better than @WestlandWhiskey . Check out our review of the Garryana 5th Edition, now part of Westland's Outpost Range:

The M&H (Milk & Honey) Elements Sherry Cask is a funky one that we found quite alluring--and it portends well for the future of this brand. Check out John's review:
