Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for Single Malt Whisky. A collection of all the interesting releases I have tried. Not only Scotch but from around the world.
While doing research for my Best Speyside Whisky blog post, I realised it had been far too long since I last tried a Glen Moray whisky. I have previously tasted the standard Glen Moray as well as the Port Cask expression. They made me realise that this is a seriously underrated Speyside distillery. As I was also in the mood for something peated, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to open a bottle of Glen Moray Peated single malt Scotch whisky.
During my last trip to Scotland, I picked up a handful of whisky samples to bring home, and today I’m finally opening the last one, the Lindores MCDXCIV single malt Lowland Scotch whisky. Read More »Lindores MCDXCIV Single Malt Whisky Review
John was travelling recently and, as often happens when he spots a whisky shop, he returned home with a bottle. This time it was the Macallan 12 year old Triple Cask tucked into his luggage. While I am not the biggest Macallan fan, John has always enjoyed the distillery’s releases, so this bottle didn’t spend much time gathering dust on the shelf.Read More »The Macallan 12 year old Triple Cask Whisky
During my recent trip to Scotland, I picked up several whisky samples from distilleries I had never explored before. One of those was the GlenAllachie 8 year old whisky, a Speyside single malt that had been sitting patiently in my tasting queue. Having finally poured a dram and spent some time with it, I can confidently say it was worth the wait.
It’s been far too long since I last explored a Japanese whisky, so it felt right to return with something distinctive: the Nikka Coffey Malt whisky. Years ago, I had the Coffey Grain release and thoroughly enjoyed it, so expectations were quietly high going into this bottle.Read More »Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky Review
Just before SA’s second alcohol ban, I managed to pick up my sample pack of Loch Lomond whiskies for an online whisky tasting with Michael Henry. A few weeks before, I tasted the Inchmurrin 11 year old that was bottled exclusively for the Bottega Whiskey Club.
