There’s no better way to end a busy year than with a Christmas-themed whisky. I won the Paul John Christmas Edition 2022 single malt from Master of Malt’s #WhiskySanta last year. This holiday season feels like the perfect time to finally open it.
During my trip to Scotland in August, I had the pleasure of visiting the Loch Lomond distillery in the Scottish Highlands. After an informative tour, we were treated to a tasting session with Gary Mills, where we sampled some outstanding drams. One of the highlights was the Loch Lomond Inchmoan 12 year old “Smoke and Spice” single malt Scotch whisky.
During my recent holiday in the UK, I had the chance to try some intriguing whiskies. While visiting the Loch Lomond distillery was a highlight, my brother-in-law also treated us to some interesting expressions from his personal collection. One of the standouts was the Ardnamurchan AD single malt whisky from the Scottish West Highlands.
During my visit to the Loch Lomond distillery in August, I had the opportunity to taste a variety of exceptional drams. One of the ranges I was particularly eager to try was the relatively new Noble Rebel blended malt Scotch whisky line, released by Loch Lomond in 2023. This range includes three expressions: Noble Rebel Orchard Outburst, Hazelnut Harmony, and Smoke Symphony whisky.
One of the more affordable whiskies here in Mauritius is the Whyte and Mackay Triple matured blended whisky. It had been a while since I last tried anything from this brand, so I decided to give it a go.
