For Halloween 2021, I check out an excellent blend from indepdent bottler Adelphi and delve into the terrifying tale of the Gorbals Vampire.

Ardnamurchan AD/05.15 CK.181
Neill reviews a single cask single malt from Ardnamurchan Distillery, bottled in partnership with the Good Spirits Co of Glasgow.
A Visit to The Glenturret
Glenturret has a reasonable claim to being the oldest working distillery in Scotland. That in itself makes it a must-see but the recent takeover by Lalique has brought some interesting developments. I taste the 2021 release of their 10-year-old Peat Smoked single malt.
Mackmyra Stjärnrök
For 15 years now Mackmyra has been releasing single malts that pay homage to the four seasons of its Scandinavian homeland. The latest release is Stjärnrök and it's one of the best in the series so far.
Dràm Mòr Rum (Clarendon & Foursquare)
Independent bottler Dram Mor has, until now, specialised in single cask Scotch whiskies but with their latest release they have delved into the world of rum with bottlings from Foursquare and Clarendon.
