Return of the Kinglake! I'm excited about Kinglake finally making a reappearance in my tastings. It's impossible to get it in the UK. This tasting is basically an excuse to open it, along with some mighty other whiskies that come, for whatever reason, in a smaller vessel.

Once you've tried a whisky from any Campbeltown distillery, there's really no going back. Whether it's Springbank, Glengyle, or Glen Scotia, it really doesn't matter because all the whiskies trickling out from the far-flung town on the Mull of Kintyre are made for whisky drinkers and represent incredible value.

A Dornoch single cask release (if you can get your hands on one) is never dull experience. This is especially true when you're sampling one of the small octave casks from their early crowdfunder days – every cask is different, and the early ones can be wonderfully wild.

Adelphi is mostly known for bottling high quality single casks of single malt whisky from Scotland. However, over the years they've also released some bottles that are not scotch because, of course, Scotland isn't the only whisky-producing country in the world. Let's pay a visit to Wales, England, Sweden, The Netherlands, and Japan.
