In regard to the provided benefit, this blog post rather serves an archiving purpose than a recommendatory one. That is because all of the three single cask releases reviewed here – Edradour 10 Years Old, Mortlach 14 Years Old, and Strathmill 15 Years Old – sold out within hours (more…)

“Whisky aus Schottland” from Whic GmbH (Book)
This is a novelty here at BarleyMania: my first-ever book review! It centers around “Whisky aus Schottland – Das große Nachschlagewerk zu Scotch Whisky”, a thick and heavy dramming encyclopedia in German language. The book was conceived, written, and released (more…)
