It is very rare for me to sing a company's praises, but I am so impressed with Bartels Whisky.

In particular, their recent "Speyside 1995 23yo". Check out the colour of this baby. Awesome. Can't wait to crack it open.

50cl bottles, mind.

Still, worth a punt for the price.

Good point that is only 34 litters from 475-500 litters - all the tasting bottles that where taken so my guess is it is going to be very intense and full of flavour....

Opened the Bartels "Speyside 1995 23yo". Quite surprised. Not what I expected. An interesting savoury sub-plot going on. After one small dram, can't find decent descriptors as yet

I’ve got a bottle. It’s nice, almost mortlachy with the meatiness in here.

Is it as dark as the photo? I've never had a whisky so dark/aged exclusively in sherry casks for so long. It's very tempting

It works out at the equivalent of £91 per 70cl though so I can't make up my mind.

Is it 'good' or is it a special bottle?

Thanks for the recommendation. I ordered a bottle which I opened tonight as I was intrigued by the reviews and independent bottling. Incredible dram for the money; will savour this one!

Yes it is as dark as the photo suggests. It’s a good bottle. Certainly pushing 90 points. Perhaps 88.

It does sound remarkable but unfortunately I can't really justify the cost at the moment.

I'm very jelous of the super dark nature of the spirit though, you guys have got a really unique dram there by the looks of it!

Luckily, not the only expression that Bartels sells.
