2025 WLW is so good (and oaky - it tastes more like a ryed bourbon than a wheater). Definitely not a a typical WLW profile.
It’s so so good. Never had another one so can’t compare but it’s certainly one of the best whiskies I’ve ever had.

Frustratingly good cause it’s stupid expensive. I get a lot of tastes I associate with “the old country” - caramelized orange, apricot, and a very smooth oakiness. I know that’s totally not what they say the notes are but I get this strong dark candied fruit thing.

The Handy was the real surprise. A tad too sweet for me but like a pastry. Like cinnamon rolly.

Yeah, it was definitely my favorite of the flight we did. Ranked them 2025 > 2022 > 2023 > 2021 > 2024

A few things I’ve tried lately that get a high mark from me:

Wireworks “Alter Ego” - Sherry’d English malt, packed with flavor and velvety salty toffee.

Kilchoman Sanaig Cask Strength - lots of caramel, fruit, and a pinch of wood fire smoke (not like Ardbeg peat)

Springbank 12 cask strength - a different speed than the others. Doesn’t drink like the more common Springbank 10, and has a dozen different notes for a complex dram to mull over. Still has the characteristic Campbeltown funk. This isn’t playing card whisky!
