It is that time of year again, when we try Diageo’s Special Releases range of whiskies. A year ago, I gathered a group of whisky enthusiasts to taste the 2015 range, and we decided to do the same for the 2016 releases as well.

This time around, the whiskies include a rare 40-year-old single grain whisky from Cambus, a 37-year-old Port Ellen, rare single malt bottlings from Mannachmore and Linkwood, and the oldest ever Special Releases from the closed distillery of Brora and the Lowlands’ Glenkinchie.
