WF's Little Duos,
today Burnside
versus Sideburn |
There seem to be quite a few old teaspooned Balvenies around at the moment, and it's probably best not to let ourselves fall too far behind, especially as we've already tasted some truly magnificent Balvenies from these vintages. Most were absolutely packed with oranges, quinces and mirabelles, unless they were dominated by sherry or some rather odd casks, though that sort of thing wasn't really done back then anyway. Naturally, one can't rule out a more recent re-racking, but in these very cases, we're inclined to trust these indies… It's worth noting that we tasted another 35-year-old 1989 from Archive last month, and that it was excellent (WF 90). |
A Balvenie enthusiast, circa 1970. |

Teaspooned Side-Burn 35 yo 1989/2025 (51.1%, Thompson Bros., for Dornoch Castle, refill wood, cask #Bal.001, 333 bottles) 
Colour: chardonnay. Nose: forget it, this baby is exactly what we were expecting (forgive this outburst of immodesty), packed with oranges, quinces and mirabelles, plus an extra helping of pink grapefruit, light vanilla and the traditional slightly damp chalk. Truth be told, it almost brings to mind a modern Champagne from one of those young, rather cutting-edge growers. With water: the fruit recedes a little, making way for citrus peels and touches of lanolin. We are perfectly happy with that. Mouth (neat): magnificent citrus fruits, blood oranges, pink grapefruits, then chalk and a well-mannered green pepper. Splendid tension, an almost vertical profile, which is perhaps not quite as Balvenie as one might have expected. With water: this time the water does not diminish the fruit, quite the opposite, it amplifies it, and here we are with quince and mirabelle jam, lifted by orange zests and a few little roots. Finish: long, with the profile holding steady throughout, only the signature shifting a little more towards grapefruit. Perhaps also a small cherry, and almost certainly a touch of bergamot. Comments: we are hardly going to pretend this came as a surprise.

Burnside 35 yo 1989/2025 (51.6%, Oxhead Whisky & Lucky Choice, Dram-addicts, hogshead, cask #577, 136 bottles)
Colour: pale gold. Nose: this too was entirely to be expected, we are very close indeed, this baby simply showing a little more richness and oiliness, with touches of pollen and beeswax, followed by slightly more herbal notes. With water: much the same impressions. Mouth (neat): we are even closer to the previous one here, only this time a shade more lemony and nervier, if this were Champagne it would almost be a brut nature (zero dosage). With water: little lemon sweets and a faint impression of a luxury Scottish mojito. It is remarkably lively for its age, despite touches of resin, propolis and even a little fatty soap appearing along the way. Everything is absolutely fine, indeed that is perfect in this context. Finish: long, razor-sharp, lively and refreshing, almost dangerously so when the weather is very hot. But we are hardly going to rinse our throats with 35-year-old Balvenie, are we! Comments: in any case, yet another example of the beauty that comes from combining a great distillate, proper age and almost-inactive casks. A winning combination, provided the bottlers know how and have the means to be patient.
SGP:651 - 90 points. |
In short, they're virtually identical twins today, but then again, that's exactly what we were expecting. |

Today a few rums to celebrate the end of the heatwave
As though we needed an excuse… Anyway, let us simply pick a few at random from the ever-growing stash… |
|
Belize ‘XO’ (40%, Fair, +/-2025) 
No great powers of deduction are required to guess that this is a Travellers. They are generally very good indeed, if seldom especially distinctive, but that also means they tend to display a pleasingly classical profile. It had been quite a while since we last tasted a rum from Fair, all of which are Fair Trade, naturally. Colour: gold. Nose: lovely touches of dill, fennel and liquorice to start, followed by preserved citrus fruits and very ripe bananas. This is a thoroughly attractive nose. Mouth: we immediately rediscover the liquorice and candied oranges, followed by ripe bananas and a delicate mentholated note. The palate is almost a mirror image of the nose. Finish: not especially short, gently earthy and herbaceous at first, before becoming a little woodier. Comments: we rather like this cheerful little Belizean. The liquorice is particularly attractive, fresh and vibrant, while the whole reminds us of a little of young Doorly’s from Barbados.
SGP:541 - 82 points. |
|
Demerara ‘Solera No.14’ (40%, Rum Nation, Guyana, +/-2024) 
We have already tasted a few earlier batches of this ‘solera’, generally rather soft and sweet. Colour: reddish amber. Nose: cane syrup, honey, maple syrup, roasted peanuts, coffee liqueur, chocolate liqueur, Frappuccino… Well, you get the idea… I must admit I rather like this. Mouth: properly syrupy, very much on coffee liqueur (Tia Maria, Kahlua and the like). It has been a long time since we last tasted an El Dorado, but I seem to remember some of the younger versions being a little like this. A touch of liquorice and an amusing hint of radish bring a welcome little burst of liveliness. Finish: not especially long, very much on molasses and, once again, coffee liqueur. Comments: just as last time, and although it is not quite my favourite style, I do think this is very well made.
SGP:740 - 79 points. |
|
Saint James 2005/2022 ‘Les Éphémères Lot n°5’ (51.8%, OB, Martinique, agricole, 5,006 bottles) 
Here we are with a cask strength bottling. The 2007 Lot n°7 that followed had been very much to our liking (WF 89) but, as usual, we never do things in the right order… Colour: amber. Nose: glue, varnish, cane honey, blood orange, ylang-ylang and vetiver, followed by little wild mangoes at perfect ripeness. This is an aromatic yet elegant nose, utterly seductive at this stage. With water: fresh earth, faded flowers (rose) and delightfully unexpected touches of dry-cured ham, very much in the style of Parma. Hints of eucalyptus too. Mouth (neat): magnificent razor-sharp citrus, once again intertwined with slightly salty liquorice and a few notes of varnish, even a touch of Plasticine. A quite remarkable marriage of casks. With water: it becomes far more herbaceous, almost vegetal, with green beans, artichokes and even manioc, since we are over there after all. It loses a point along the way, dura lex sed lex. Finish: long, a little woody but also with the return of salmiak. And we do love salmiak. Or rather, those little Cachous, that venerable French speciality whose brand seems to be enjoying something of a revival at the moment. A touch of pine sap in the aftertaste. Comments: a magnificent small batch, warmly recommended.
SGP:651 - 89 points. |
|
Pur Jus de Canne 2018/2023 ‘Rh07 Cuvée So Rhum’ (60.8%, Antilles Française, ex-bourbon, 328 bottles)
A few indiscreet remarks online suggest this would be a Martinican rum from Distillerie du Simon (HSE, Clément, J.Bally…). I must humbly admit that, for a while, I was convinced it was rather a Bielle from Marie-Galante, and I am slightly embarrassed about that... Colour: full gold. Nose: fresh cane juice in abundance, and it is hugely impressive. Behind that come vetiver, kumquat and, above all, dark honey. The darker the honey, the more flavour it tends to have, and the greater its health benefits, or so we are told. With water: we move closer to tropical rain, petrichor, mushrooms and roots… Mouth (neat): lovely fresh cane juice once again, combined with top-quality mead and plenty of apple mint (Mentha Suaveolens according to Wikipedia, let us remember to support Wikipedia!) Magnificent tension despite the very honeyed profile. Incidentally, the 60% vol. goes down as easily as posting a letter, which is almost rather alarming. With water: there we are, roots, fresh turmeric, wild carrots and citrons. Finish: long, close to the earth, humus and roots. Comments: this little thing is wonderful. I genuinely thought it was Bielle (S., shame on you!).

Foursquare 19 yo 2005/2025 (58.2%, Dram-Addicts, for Oxhead Whisky & Lucky Choice, Barbados, bourbon barrel, cask #77A, 103 bottles)
A question between us, which we have probably already asked several times, can we really use the word ‘dram’ when talking about rum, or do we risk immediate and unanimous condemnation from the professional chatteratti? Incidentally, we remain on the lookout for a pure pot still Foursquare, perhaps this is the one? We shall know for certain in just a moment… Colour: gold. Nose: oranges in every conceivable form, liqueur, marmalade and fresh juice, with a gentle rooty side in the background once again (carrots) and an overall profile that feels pleasingly balanced. Not pure pot still. Vanilla. With water: plenty of tobacco now, cigars but also green tobacco, rather in the style of Indonesian cigars. Wafts of patchouli. Mouth (neat): ah, there is both more richness and more razor-sharpness here. Fresh ginseng, celeriac, oranges and pink peppercorns. With water: earthier notes emerge, together with liquorice, and we rather get the impression that the proportion of pot still is somewhat higher than usual. A faint Margarita side, lemon and salt… Finish: long and fairly fresh, although some honey comes along to round everything off in the end. And the ginseng returns, it cures everything, does it not? Comments: we remain at a very high level, which is splendid. You might say that, throughout this session, we have carefully avoided the monstrously sweetened yet commercially rewarding bottlings…
SGP:651 - 88 points. |

TDL 16 yo 2009/2025 (57.5%, The Good Spirits & Anchor, Trinidad, barrel, cask #100)
A Hong Kong-Australian bottling, which is splendid, as it lets you travel in your glass, and not only to Trinidad & Tobago. The only question is which style of TDL we are dealing with… Colour: full gold. Nose: not quite the ultimate fruit bomb, yet there is a lovely combination of peaches and mangoes, complemented by mint and liquorice. Water should wake all this up a little… With water: it does not change all that much, although a little rubber and tar join the party. Mouth (neat): lively citrus wrapped in a little petrol and glue. In short, there are esters here, but we are not quite falling headfirst into a vat of acetone and olive brine. If you see what we mean… With water: once again, it does not evolve all that much, but it remains very good indeed. Green olives with lemon juice. Finish: oh, now it wakes up, perhaps a little late, but this combination of seawater, seaweed and lemon can only call for… oysters. Comments: apart from the first two aperitifs, we have remained firmly within the 88 <–> 90-point tunnel today, and we are very pleased about that.
SGP:652 - 89 points. |
While we are in the mood for the big and the brutal, we have not yet tasted this baby… |
|
Uitvlugt 32 yo 1989/2022 (64.1%, The Colours of Rum, Guyana, 222 bottles)
This is the venerable Double Wooden Pot Still from Port Mourant that has been called into service here, after having been moved to Uitvlugt following the closure of Port Mourant/Morant. And indeed, this baby came out in 2022, we are still running behind… Colour: deep amber. Nose: wood glue and fig jam in perfect symbiosis, together with a faint touch of smoke. Above all, though, plenty of ethanol… With water: superb fresh rubber, smoked almonds, toasted sesame and little pink olives. Mouth (neat): take no more than half a drop, or it will send you ad patres subito presto, with an utterly extreme vinegary side. I speak from experience (very, very, very recent experience, I almost collapsed because it just went the wrong way) … What a monster! With water: well played, we have tamed it, while it gains in texture, rather like salted butter caramel cream. Finish: almost endless, more on glues, acetone, chilli and concentrated lime juice… In short, the little rascal strikes back. Comments: this is not a tasting, it is a battle. They ought to print a warning on the label.
SGP:562 - 89 points. |
Let us head back to Trinidad… |
|
Caroni 28 yo 1998/2026 (58.1%, Oxhead Whisky, Lucky Choice & Bar Shelter, Trinidad, barrel, cask #37, 190 bottles)
Rarely has a label been quite so explicit about the aromas supposedly lurking inside the bottle, here we can make out mangoes, blackcurrants and then a few other things we cannot quite identify, although that is probably our fault. Colour: full gold. Nose: ski wax, paraffin, grilled aubergines, used engine oil and capers. Now that is what you call a distinctive profile! With water: formic acid, rather like when you disturb an anthill (quite unintentionally, of course), together with UHU glue. A few autumn leaves as well. Mouth (neat): these 1998 Caronis really are great rums, and here is yet another demonstration, but those notes of mature Gouda, paraffin, kirsch, extreme salmiak and Savoyard fondue (all right, Swiss if you insist) are truly astonishing. Then again, they do rather suit the skiing theme. With water: rather oddly, it loses a little of its sparkle with water, although that often happens with Caroni, in my admittedly limited experience. Water is precious, let us not waste it. Finish: long, noticeably more bitter and peppery, becoming almost a little tough. That said, the salinity in the very petrol-driven aftertaste is much more to our liking. Comments: I have no idea where those mangoes and blackcurrants have disappeared to, but this remains a magnificent Caroni. One more for the tally, it is simply a little… demanding on the taster.
SGP:563 - 90 points. |
… And of course, we shall finish in Jamaica… |
|
Clarendon 19 yo 2007/2026 (65.9%, Wu Dram Clan, bourbon barrel, 228 bottles)
Judging by the strength, here comes yet another attempted assassination, although they should be careful because we know where they live… That said, the Voodoo/Masai/Zulu label remains very handsome. You do remember the old Zulu warriors' motto, do you not? If you retreat, you die, if you advance, you die, so why retreat? That is very much our frame of mind at this precise moment… Colour: full gold. Nose: a veritable explosion of lavender flowers, most unexpected, followed by lime, oysters and finally petrol. We shall keep mentioning petrol for as long as it has not completely vanished from our daily lives. Right. With water: it moves towards wax and smoke… Wafts of twigs and aromatic herbs, especially thyme. Mouth (neat): utterly typical! Pepper, salt, tar, olives, varnish and petrol. Pronounced bitterness, but we rather like that. With water: it remains bitter, razor-sharp and fairly demanding. Nicely earthy too. Finish: long, dry, bitter, herbaceous and salty, although rescued in the end by a burst of lime, with a rather obvious Margarita effect. Comments: a very warlike Jamaican that does not hand out many favours. We absolutely love it while, I repeat, we know where they live.
SGP:363 - 89 points. |
They was something of the World MMA Championships today, but we had great fun all the same. See you, peace, love and understanding (cheers, Nicks). And yes to bombs, but only when they explode in our glasses as notes of fruit, esters and phenols! |

WF's Little Duos,
today indie Deanston |
You know, we receive tonnes of press releases from distilleries and, generally speaking, they all announce innovations, 'firsts', world premieres, which almost invariably boil down to the use of 'innovative' casks. Just like everyone else. The very same ones, syrah, mizunara, double-char, PX, ruby Port, and all the rest of it. This worldwide herd instinct is becoming thoroughly tedious, to the point where we almost no longer read any press releases at all, since they're all exactly the same anyway, almost word for word. And no, we have absolutely no desire to join a video call with the master whatever, it would merely be time lost forever (unless it’s Brora, ha). The last time we did so, the very engaging and indeed very talented master blender explained to us at great length how the blueberries growing in the valley where the distillery is located influenced the flavour of the whiskies. I very nearly gave up Scotch whisky on the spot (joking). Anyway, if I'm telling you all this, it's because we're about to taste one of the undisputed champions of bizarre, yet sometimes excellent finishings, albeit from independent bottlers. And clean. Coz indies tend to do it better (and rarely send fluffy PR pieces)... |
|
Deanston 8 yo 2017/2025 (53.1%, Decadent Drams, 1st fill bourbon barrel, 247 bottles) 
Frankly, Mr Decadent Sponge, aka Angus, had better have some jolly good reasons for putting us through an 8-year-old Deanston like this. Between us, we do love Deanston, but the ever-growing parade of improbable finishings from the distillery has rather worn us down of late. Colour: gold. Nose: beers, barley, overripe apples and fresh breads of every description. So far, so good, we're staying reassuringly close to Mother Nature. Bourbon, baby. With water: a little oil, sunflower and the like, ripe apples, buckwheat pancakes, bread... Mouth (neat): this is really very good, this is malt whisky. You take barley, you wait until the dormancy period is over, you malt it, you run it through the mill, you add hot water, you add yeast, you leave it to ferment, you distil it once, you distil it a second time, you reduce it a little, you fill good old regular oak casks, then you wait while saying your prayers. That's it. With water: nothing to add. This is young malt whisky, it is very good, it is for lovers of nature and, perhaps, for the ever-growing ranks of survivalists. Lovely touches of orange in the aftertaste. Finish: long, yeasty, bready, fruity, beery... Citrus fruits and Timut pepper following. Comments: there seem to be countless tiny flavours and aromas lurking about, but it would take a whole evening to pin them down, and even longer to comment on them all. Seriously, this is really very good, it's just that there are many others of a similar ilk, including a fair few from D.D.

Deanston 16 yo 2009/2025 (56.3%, The Whisky Blues, hogshead, cask #300845, 171 bottles)
You know, whenever we read nothing more than 'hogshead', we positively quiver with delight. As for the label, it reminds us of the latest fashionable Québécois band, 'Angine de Poitrine'. Crazy stuff, we love them, do check them out. Colour: light gold. Nose: it is simply the age that makes the difference. May I remind you that age is the principal constituent of any so-called 'matured' spirit, and that anyone telling you otherwise is either a wee clown or being paid by the distilleries. Barley + water + yeast + oak + TIME. Right, what we have here is simply a central-style malt, without any particular personality yet displaying remarkable aromatic precision. Once again, it is all about nature... With water: lemon syrup and barley syrup. One could scarcely make it any simpler. Mouth (neat): now this is very, very good indeed, full of liquorice wood and freshly grated lemon zest. Millimetric, simple, almost austere, yet excellent. With water: beers, liquorice, peppers. It loses a little of its focus, though it remains genuinely very good. Finish: fairly long, though less interesting now, rather too herbal, with fairly bitter yeasty notes. Comments: oops, it doesn't swim especially well, this is neither Mark Spitz nor Léon Marchand. Too bad, the foundations were solid.

WF's Little Duos,
today official Glenlivet |
Another great name whose expressions we simply have to taste from time to time, particularly the entry-level versions that are so widely available across the globe. We're so often reproached for not tasting enough of these in favour of rarities or older bottlings. As you can see, after nearly twenty-five years, we're still trying to improve things at WF Towers... |
|
Glenlivet 12 yo ‘Double Oak’ (40%, OB, +/-2025)
The last time we tasted this baby it was a 2020 version, during a vertical that went all the way up to G&M's celebrated 80/1940. Well, this little 12-year-old acquitted itself rather well in that company (WF 80). Colour: pale gold. Nose: this Double Oak, now almost compulsory for entry-level malts from a marketing perspective, naturally means American and European oak. On the nose, we find barley, croissants, vanilla, pale beer and pancakes. Rather good, really, staying very close to the raw ingredients, which always pleases us. Mouth: this is really rather good, gently honeyed, with almost blotted apples, black tea, vanilla, a few touches of fruitcake, malt and a little fresh oak, veering towards sawdust but never excessively so. Finish: not especially long, and we once again find Japanese bean paste, just as we did last time (mochi). The aftertaste brings back beer and cider. Comments: I stand by my previous opinion, this is very, very honest stuff and, above all, free from make-up or tricks. At €30, it is really very honest indeed.
SGP:451 - 80 points. |
Right then, let's admit it, what we really wanted to taste today was this official version destined for the other side of the world... |
|
Glenlivet 14 yo (58.6%, OB for The Whisky Club, first fill American oak, 2026) 
This baby was ‘created exclusively for The Whisky Club’ and is distributed to its members in Australia and New Zealand. It would appear that this is the first time The Glenlivet has officially done such a thing, this cask strength version having been the Club's Whisky of the Month in June this year. Colour: gold. Nose: we immediately find ourselves back in the world of the lovely 12-year-old, only with rather more power, naturally. Apple tart, cinnamon, vanilla, barley, butter and sugar pancakes... With water: it now moves away from the 12-year-old, with more nougat, far more floral notes of honeysuckle and white clover, plus a few beautifully judged touches of orange marmalade. Lovely compactness and coherence. Mouth (neat): plenty of punch, cooked apples, green pepper, a little ginseng, cinnamon, mead... Once again, we are very close to nature. With water: the classic profile, only with more citrus and a splendid lemony tension. Honeyed water with lemon juice. Finish: long, with a few fresh oak spices, ginger, fresh turmeric, coriander seeds... The aftertaste settles back onto green pepper, apples and lemon. Comments: absolutely excellent at just 14 years of age. Plenty of integrity, in short everything we like. Do they accept Alsatian members at the Whisky Club of Australia and New Zealand? I promise we won't mention rugby...

A trio of rather fearless, almost dangerous Glenallachies
Two peated ones and one unpeated but heavily sherried version, which is therefore where we'll begin, if that's all right with you. (Porsche) |
 |
|
Glenallachie 18 yo 2006/2024 (61.5%, Signatory Vintage for World of Whisky by Waldhaus, sherry hogshead, cask #900442, 289 bottles)
Should you ever find yourself passing through St Moritz, do stop at Waldhaus and pay a visit to their incredible whisky bar. Mind you, you would be well advised to book a room beforehand, just in case... At any rate, you certainly won't be driving for the next few hours. Colour: amber. Nose: it isn't because we're in Switzerland that I'm saying this, but this is packed with chocolate, walnut wine and slightly mature Pinot Noir, evoking saddle of hare with wild mushrooms. They do make some excellent Pinot Noir in Switzerland, especially in the Valais. With water: it doesn't budge in the slightest, it's even more immovable than the Matterhorn. Mouth (neat): immensely powerful, taut and peppery, with splendid bitterness and, above all, Seville oranges, followed by chocolate in the style of 90% cocoa. With water: it relaxes, softens, moving towards chocolate sauce enriched with triple sec. On the other hand, green walnuts also come more to the fore. Finish: long, rather on crushed pepper and bitter oranges. Reminiscent of a fine Italian bitter. Not necessarily a red one, mind... Comments: there is undeniably a vermouth-like side to this. Excellent.

Glenallachie 5 yo ‘Meikle Toir The Turbo 2025 Edition’ (50%, OB)
This is Glenallachie's Octomore, if you see what I mean. Let's just say it, we had loved the first edition back in 2023. At least I believe it was the first edition (WF 88). In any case, the peat comes from the mainland, and the peat ppm are twice those of the regular Meikle Toir, 72 versus 35. I also note that quite a few enthusiasts seem to be growing weary of peat at all costs, though not us. Not yet... Colour: deep amber. Nose: stylistically, this isn't Scottish at all. We would place it somewhere between the Netherlands (Millstone), and Germany (St. Kilian), but that suits us perfectly well, we're not fetishists. And above all, not Scottish... In short, bitter walnuts, bitter almonds, tar, black pepper, fresh rubber, neoprene glue... You get the picture. With water: an absolutely massive inkiness. Mouth (neat): it gives you a proper shake, gloriously bitter, rich, hugely tarry, peppery and, above all, packed with tobacco. With water: it barely softens, though oranges come in and take command, and we absolutely love that. Finish: long, with massive smoke, pepper and salt, followed by bitter oranges and gingerbread. The aftertaste is more herbal and utterly dominated by ashes. Comments: probably the least Scottish of Scottish malts. The trouble is, at just five years of age, it is frightfully good.
SGP:468 - 87 points. |
We're beginning to think we ought to have tasted the next one before this 'Turbo', but it's too late now, there's no way back... Besides, it's PX... |
|
Glenallachie Meikle Toir 7 yo 2018/2025 (60.1%, OB for Kirsch Import, Awakening Series, PX sherry hogshead, cask #11562, 360 bottles)
Colour: reddish amber. Nose: this almost feels gentle after the Turbo, the peat and the PX are both remarkably well behaved, yet there are some lovely dark honeys, or rather honeydews. Chestnut honey is especially prominent. Behind that come peppers, sweet peppers, bitter walnuts and all manner of conifer resins. With water: pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, pepper and fresh rubber, think brand-new wellies or a scuba diving suit. Or a new parcel from Temu or AliExpress. Mouth (neat): this time the peppery tension and bitter oranges are absolutely immense, it's just a little too powerful for me. I know, I know, but it really is massive and it could very well attack your gums. Indeed. With water: we've got it now, it calms down a little, with Corinth raisins, though, on the other hand, mustard now comes to the fore as well. Finish: the impression of chewing fir needles. Comments: really not an easy one, this isn't a tasting, it's a wrestling match. In any case, given the choice, we rather preferred the Turbo. Perhaps that's our inner Porsche enthusiast speaking.
