Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Glenury Royal
Review by: The Muskox When I was writing up yesterday’s review and went to save it in my Johnnie Walker folder, I noticed this review sitting there and asked myself, “did I end up publishing that?” Turns out I reviewed this whisky last summer and promptly forgot about it! The rest of the review from here on is just my notes from the time. Important context: I had just been in Scotland. Don’t…

Banff 24 Year (1976) Blackadder
Review by: The Muskox Banff had the unfortunate distinction of being the unluckiest distillery in Scotland. After setting up in 1863, the distillery was nearly completely destroyed by a fire in 1877, though it was rebuilt and reopened later that same year. In 1941, while the distillery was closed for the war, it was bombed by a German aircraft and destroyed again. It was said that casks…

Ladyburn 27 Year (1973) Single Cask #3210
Review by: The Muskox There were a bunch of closed distilleries that I really hoped to have tried at least one bottling from before hitting 1000 reviews. Thanks to another New.Whiskyorder tasting, I got to tick off a few of them in a row. Ladyburn was located in the enormous Girvan distillery complex, where it operated for only a decade between its construction in 1966 and demolition in 1976.…

Dallas Dhu 21 Year (1982) Signatory Vintage
Review by: The Muskox Dallas Dhu has been preserved precisely was as it closed to this day, and now operates as a museum. You could turn the equipment on and have it producing whisky today… I’m just saying, if Malt Runners wanted to pool money together to buy a distillery, this would be a good one! Distillery: Dallas Dhu. Bottler: Signatory Vintage. Region: Speyside. ABV: 43%. Age: 21.…

Millburn 18 Year (1977) Cooper's Choice
Review by: The Muskox This was dram #2 from the other day’s trip to the pub. What, your neighbourhood pub doesn’t have any 70s Millburn? Not even 6 or 7 Broras? Are you living in Antarctica? This crosses off another new distillery from my list. My friend Paolo is the dean of Millburns, at least on r/Scotch, and at his insistence I’ve finally tried one. This one may be a 43%er, but given my last…

Imperial 16 Year (1991) Gordon & MacPhail
Review by: The Muskox Here’s another one I tried at a recent tasting. Imperial is probably my favourite Speysider, so naturally, of all the distilleries that needed to shut down during the 90s, it had to be that one. Distillery: Imperial. Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail. Region: Speyside. ABV: 43%, cask strength. Age: 16 years old. Distilled in 1991. Bottled in 2008. Color: Light gold. No…

Millburn 20 Year (1983) Scott's Selection
Review by: The Muskox The final dram I enjoyed with my man Quaker0ats… and the final Millburn left on the menu here for me to try. I promise, this really is the end of my recent run of ridiculous whiskies. If you can’t get enough of drooling over rare drams, I believe my friend The Whiskery Turnip has another 600 years worth of whisky to post from his recent Singapore trip, so just follow…

Imperial 19 Year (1979) Old Malt Cask
Review by: The Muskox When it comes to whisky, we Torontonians suffer from atrocious prices and extremely limited selection. We do, however, have one saving grace: The Feathers Pub, a whisky wonderland with a menu chock-full of incredible vintage whiskies at extremely reasonable prices per glass. I’ve had my eye on this one in particular since the bar reopened, and finally got down to try it the…
