A couple of weeks ago, The House of Fine Whisky at Checkers unveiled its latest addition. Something exceptional. A Proudly South African release. The Checkers Private Barrel Co. frequently makes an appearance here on my blog.

Single Malt Whisky
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.
I start 2018 on an Indian note – with the Paul John Classic Select Cask Indian single malt whisky. I love exploring world whisky. Especially whisky that comes from non-traditional countries such as South Africa, France, India or Taiwan.
The Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition 1990 single malt Scotch whisky – another release from the Diageo stable that I have had for AGES, but never adequately written about.
This is one of the bottles that started my whisky collection before I even realized I was collecting whisky. I tasted the Glenmorangie Lasanta single malt Scotch whisky at my favourite restaurant and loved it. John brought a bottle home soon after to remind us of a great evening.
John went climbing in Iceland two years ago. Not a country that was on my bucket list, until we started researching it for his climb. And not a country that you expect whisky from. But he came back with unforgettable memories and a bottle of Floki Icelandic Young malt.
