Final sample from Cadenhead’s February 2025 releases, a maritime Lediag 14 yo with gentle smoke and just an edge of that typical lactic funk.

And with that this little 100th review celebration is over. Thank you for following and visiting the blog and to a 100 more!

Two Cadenhead’s Enigma’s bottlings from the February releases. The Irish single malt is unusual, tropical but very reminiscent of corn spirit. The Speyside, finished in Pineau des Charentes cask is a rich and elegant Speysider, one of my favourites from this bunch of releases

It is always refreshing to get a chance to try an ex-Boubon take from a distillery like GlenAllachie, which I always associate with Sherry and cask finishes. Fruity, spicy and, intriguingly, still nutty even with no Sherry in sight.

Cadenhead’s Original Collection 13 years old: as fruity and sweet as it gets.

This week Road to Dram reaches its 100th review. Peanuts, but it still makes me proud.
To celebrate, I am going to dive into Cadenhead’s February 2025 releases. The full reviews will go live on schedule next Saturday but until then, I will share a little teaser every day, to a 100 more!

Time to expand the #whisky horizon in my ongoing exploration of new distilleries and head into Derbyshire to White Peak Distillery. Hard to find in Europe, but I managed to grab their Bourbon Barrel and a couple of samples from the distillery last summer.

A couple of Wire Works #whisky samples tonight. Leaning more towards the darker notes of the virgin oak release vs the more fruity Caduro tonight, though I am pretty sure things might flip around in summer

I am late to the Ardnahoe Inaugural Release party, but it was worth the wait. After a couple of busy weeks that kept me from posting, I am glad to pick things back up on a high note. I love the earthy peat notes in this bottle and the great cask use.

Oh the weather outside is chilly… warming up my bones with a dram of Cask Strength Old Perth. A proper sweet and spicy Sherry bomb… and just smelling it makes me long for tablet (the Scottish one not the digital kind!) 😁
