Isle of Jura 12 years

Johannes Lindblom — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:24:54 +0000

12 year old single malt by Isle of Jura distillery – managed to explore whiskies surprisingly long before tasting this expression. Well, I have to admit I haven’t been a fan of Jura whiskies. So their range doesn’t come up as go-to selection for me, received this as a gift. […]

Ardbeg Smoketrails review

Johannes Lindblom — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 11:07:48 +0000

Ardbeg Smoketrails is a NAS (non age stated) whisky made for global travel retail. Which in my book, doesn’t sound tempting. Of course you have to always give a chance to every whisky, but my experience tells me that travel retail whiskies tend to be lower quality whiskies for masses. […]

Glenglassaugh Portsoy review

Johannes Lindblom — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 13:11:14 +0000

Closed in 1986 yet resurrected in 2008, Glenglassaugh distillery has nicely managed to widen its whisky range. Glenglassaugh Portsoy gets its name from the neighbouring harbour village, because both have deep maritime elements featured in them. Portsoy is a peated whisky matured in combination of sherry, bourbon and port casks. […]

Jura Red Wine Cask Edition comes from the Isle of Jura distillery and like the name states, it’s been finished in wine casks. Before its wine cask finish, aged in American white oak bourbon barrels. This expression really intrigued me since I’ve never been able to fully enjoy Jura whiskies. Whether […]
