Timorous Beastie Whisky

Review and tasting notes for the Timorous Beastie blended malt whisky
Today I try a whisky named after a well known Scottish poem from the Scottish  National Bard, Robert Burns. A part of the poem “To a Mouse” goes “Wee, sleekit, cowran, tim’rous beastie, O, what a panic’s in thy breastie! ” This release is part of the Remarkable Malt range  and can stand tall next to Big Peat, Scallywag and Rock Oyster is Douglas Laing’s Timorous Beastie blended malt Scotch whisky.

Aultmore 18 year old Whisky

Today, I’m diving into the Aultmore 18 year old Foggie Moss single malt Scotch whisky. What immediately captures my attention is the enchanting name of their single malt collection: Foggy Moss. Just mentioning it conjures a vivid image – a hauntingly beautiful scene of fog weaving through the corridors of a moss-draped, long-forgotten castle nestled on the misty moors.

Talisker Storm Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Today I am looking at the 3rd of my mini Talisker bottles, and it is time for the Talisker Storm single malt Scotch whisky. The Talisker 10 yo whisky easily makes it onto my top 10 desert island drams. I love the smoky, creamy notes of this release.

Tamnavulin Double Cask Single Malt Whisky

Tamnavulin Double Cask Speyside single malt whisky
Today I look at the Tamnavulin Double Cask Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, produced at one of the younger Scottish whisky distilleries. The Tamnavulin distillery was built in 1966, mainly to supply the booming market for whisky to use in blends including Whyte & Mackay and Mackinlay’s.

Ballantine’s 17 year old Whisky

Earlier this year, I received a Ballantine’sFinest Whisky as a gift from good friends.  Neither John nor I had ever tried a Ballantine’s, so we did not know what to expect. We were blown away by what we found.  Not only was it a fantastic whisky, but it also earned my first Divine rating for that year.
