This 2012 vintage Glenfarclas which cannot be named was bottled at 50% and 12 years of age after maturing in a Second Fill Sherry Hogshead. 88pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"This is another bottling of our much appreciated and delicious 'Glenlitigious' malt whisky. This is a Speyside single malt made by a famous and highly litigious family, and you all know precisely who we mean. Distilled in 2012, aged for 12 years in a 2nd fill sherry hogshead and bottled at 50% ABV, it is sweet, richly fruity and perilously easy to swig."
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: decadent, nutty, and doughy with candied fruits and a backbone of silky vanilla; bakery goods galore: cinnamon rolls, cronuts, cardamom buns, and Mexican donuts; cranachan: aka fresh raspberries and whipped cream over toasted oats; a touch of leather and tobacco, but on the fresh side.
Palate: still decadent, nutty, and doughy, with a silky base of vanilla and honey; the fresh baked sticky goods still abound, and the cranachan is still there too; sweet chocolate fudge, homemade Eatmore, and chocolate dip on soft serve; candied orange, fresh raspberries, and sautéed strawberry; late leather, tobacco, and building spice.
Finish: long, warming, and rich; it ends quite chocolatey with baked sticky buns and soft cigar tobacco.
Comment: this is rather lovely, a tad pricey for its age, but a fine dram nonetheless; with patience, and a little experience, you can taste and feel that telltale sign this is a direct-fired spirit.
88pts Whisky Fun
"The label is quite hilarious! The 12-year-old from 2024 had been excellent (WF 88). Colour: pale gold. Nose: beautiful malt with a sherry presence that’s discreet yet clearly there, sitting in perfect balance between Mars bars, walnut liqueur and chestnut honey. One might call it the epitome of a traditional young own-family Speysider, though perhaps without venturing far enough to invite legal correspondence. With water: triple sec and tobacco appear, both in gentle moderation. Mouth (neat): orange chocolate and English breakfast tea. Very good indeed. With water: still lovely, this time with a touch of sweet chestnut purée and vanilla. Finish: fairly long, superbly balanced and highly convincing on the maltiness front. Comments: why aren’t all official 12-year-old Speyside malts this good? I see no reason not to award it the same score as last year. SGP:551 - 88 points."

52.8% - 1991 Refill Hogshead & 2002 Second Fill Barrel
Producer Description
"This Decadent Drams bottling takes two refill casks of Miltonduff, born more than a decade apart, and blends them into something far greater than the sum of their parts. One brings robust cereal spice and nutty heft, the other delivers honeyed fruit and floral finesse. Together, they create a beautifully mature dram with a waxy richness that feels like it’s folding time in on itself. The kind of whisky that defies both reality and entropy and will be found lurking at the end of existence, orbiting a black hole. Unless, of course, you scoff it all first..."

Bottled to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Heads & Tails, this 18 year old Sideburn (aka Burnside [aka teaspooned Balvenie]) was distilled in 2007, and bottled at 56.3% from a First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel.
Producer Description
"This 'Sideburn' blended malt Scotch whisky was distilled in 2007 and filled into cask as Burnside from William Grant & Sons. It has matured ever since in a single 1st fill Bourbon barrel for 18 years, before we bottled it at natural cask strength as this celebratory Decadent Drams release exclusively for the 10th anniversary of Heads & Tails. Congratulations Igor! Here's to another ten years of distillate-driven spirits and friendship! Please enjoy this special bottling with the smooth revelry and majestic groove of a veteran party Moose."

Decadent Drams has bottled another Marketing Malt (cough Macallan), and this one is a not so subtle dig at the distillery's 200th Anniversary releases which someone else, we won't say whom, described as resembling a Space Anus. This 16 Year old was bottled at 53% from a 1st Fill Sherry Hogshead originally filled in 2008. Limit 1 Per Customer!
Producer Description
"The Marketing Malt returns to Decadent Drinks. Another sumptuous 1st fill sherry hogshead, this time bottled at a robust, yet highly quaffable, 53%. Please sip this with quiet philosophical reflection, or while participating in an illegal three-day rave. No alternative drinking scenarios are permitted unfortunately. And whatever you do, please do not enter The Marketing Vortex - unless you wish to be transported to an alternative dimension entirely populated by ultra high net worth individuals where the only whisky bottlings available are impractically styled collaborations with sports car brands."

This 10 year old Glen Moray was filled into a 2nd Fill Sherry Hogshead in 2014, it was bottled at 57.1%. 89pts Whisky Fun.
Producer Description
"A second fill sherry hogshead of Glen Moray that tastes like fruit after the world ends. Ten years old, bottled at 57.1%, and dripping with stewed berries, burnt sugar, pipe tobacco, sea salt fudge, and something sharp and herbal in the bones. It's bold, messy, and mutating by the minute ; a riot of flavour just barely contained in glass. If Speyside had a malfunctioning AI master blender in 2170, this is what it would pour you. Warm, dense, and one glitch away from sentience."
