Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for whisky, bourbon and whiskey from all around the world. Single malts, blends, blended malts, rye and grain whiskey tasted and reviewed.
On my recent trip to Mauritius, I found an interesting bottle of Johnnie Walker whisky in the supermarket. I had not seen the Johnnie Walker Black Label Sherry Finishblended Scotch whisky before and bought a bottle to try.
Today I write about a whisky that I tasted last year, the Dewar’s 15 year old blended Scotch whisky. Towards the end of last year, I wrote about a great whisky I tasted at The Only Whisky Show. The Dewar’s 12 year old blended whisky made quite an impression on me.
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.
Today I look at one of the best drams to pair with seafood. The Caol Ila 12 year old single malt Scotch whisky. We discovered this secret many year ago at an Oyster, Wine, and Food Festival.
