This is not a peated version of their 12yo

Liquid autumn.

Tyree doubles down on two drams and finds that Glenlivet’s Licensed Dram is a worthy successor to the Illicit Still — plus a very special Port Ellen follow up review.

Same distillery, similar distillation year, similar maturation, these whiskies are anything but similar!

Peated whisky from the land of the midnight sun

Behind the SMWS numbers and Loch Lomond.

Wood versus distillate delivers a memorable surprise.

While everyone seems to be into peat these days, the boggy stuff isn’t always for the better

Fabulously soft for the Islay powerhouse

Two bottles that I do not regret opening and do indeed warrant ‘special’ status

A joyous peated dram of surprising decadence. Incredible value at the Clubcard price.

Mother nature needs more time to work her magic, but solid ground.

Feels shackled by the cask, dense and confused.

Strong foundations, super value and little to complain about.

Double maturation is not the same as finishing.
