Each year Krishna Nakula makes his pilgrimage to Mumbai to battle with customs to get his annual Malt Maniacs samples into India.

Occasionally when he makes these trips, he brings a few remaining drops from previous years to enjoy with special folks.

Last year he generously introduced me to the gorgeous Glendronach grand dames and a stunning rare Karuizawa.

This year, he simply outdid himself, sharing from the 2015 collection:

• Undeclared 22 year (8-1990/11-2012) 46% CS No 5162(7?) Sherry Butt, Chieftains Collection 693 Bottles (MM 87)
• Glenlivet 19 year (30 Oct 1995/9 Sep 2015) 58.1% CS No 166951, Sherry Butt, Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection 431526 (MM 86)
• Amrut 5 year (5-2010/6-2015) 56.5% CS No 3823 Olorosso Sherry for Taiwan Bottle 1/600 (MM 86)
• Kavalan Solist NAS Sherry Cask S081229026 55.6% 08 Bottle 421/527 (MM 89)
• Benriach 20 year (1994/2014) 54.7% S No 808 Olorosso Sherry Peated OB for Taiwan Bottle 84/678 (MM 84)

All of these whiskies were a treat! And go to show that with a good whisky, even just a few drops can say a lot…
