Fettercairn 13 and Fettercairn 28 Cadenhead’s
Review by: Raygun Fettercairn is a pretty obscure distillery. Owned by the blending house Whyte & MacKay, who also own Dalmore, Jura, and Tamnavulin. Not exactly a roster that inspires a lot of enthusiasm. Fettercairn recently got a revamped single malt range. Had one or two other IBs, but not any of their OBs. Tried these side by side, rested about 15 minutes. Fettercairn 13 Cadenhead’s…

Crown Royal Single Malt (blind)
Review by: Raygun ZSolaris you crafty bastard. When I said throw some blinds my way, this is not what I expected! Can’t find too much about this, except for the fact that it’s made from all malted barley and distilled and aged in Canada. Initially tasted blind, with additional notes after the reveal in italics. Thanks obviously to zSolaris for the sample. Rested about 15 minutes. Distillery:…

Tomatin 12 Cuatro Manzanilla
Review by: Raygun Tomatin is pretty easy to overlook. The 12 is mostly distinguished for being cheap. I do go around recommending the 18 to anyone who will listen, as one of the few remaining reasonable values at that age (it’s also very tasty). I always like Manzanilla casks and there aren’t enough of them. When I saw this, I thought I’d try it to see how it was as a cheap Manzanilla cask. The…

Nantou Omar Orange Brandy Cask 2021
Review by: Raygun Omar is the “other” single malt brand, much less known than Kavalan. It’s made by the state-owned Nantou distillery. It used to produce mainly world whisky blends, but with the success of Kavalan they started releasing their own single malt branded as Omar (“amber” in Gaelic). I’ve had bourbon and sherry cask releases, but always been curious about their more unusual casks,…

Seagram's V.O., bottled 1972
Review by: The Muskox This one was found in the back of my grandfather’s liquor cabinet. I’ve never seen the man drink anything except wine, but back in the 70s he made a habit of bringing a bottle of spirits from the duty-free back with him when he went on vacations. Those bottles have sat mostly undisturbed and unopened in his cabinet since then. I’ve already cracked into a J&B Rare from the…

Teeling Small Batch
Review by: Raygun A blended whiskey from Teeling, in about a 3:1 grain to malt whisky ratio according to them. I assume it’s entirely Teeling distillate. Had some great Teeling single casks and so I figured I’d give this one a shot, pretty much their entry level. Rested for 10 minutes. Distillery: Teeling Bottler: Teeling Region/style: Irish blended whiskey ABV: 46% Age: NAS Cask type:…
