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.
Finding international single malt whiskies is always great, but more so when the whisky is from a country with wich I have a special relationship with. One of these special finds is from the Netherlands. I am from a Dutch background, and when I saw this Millstone 8 yo French Oak single malt whisky, I had to get it.
Today I look at the Glendronach 16 year old single malt Scotch whisky. James Allardes founded the distillery in 1826. Rumour has it that this was only the second distillery licensed to legally produce whisky under the Excise Act of 182.
I found a McCarthy’s single malt whiskey from the USA here in South Africa. The USA is one of our favourite countries to travel around. About a quarter of the items on our buckets list relate to North America. So testing something from an area I still want to visit is awesome.
In the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park, Penderyn distils the first whisky in Wales for over a century. My blog post today looks at the Penderyn Welsh single malt whisky release.
A new distillery for me, I am trying the Tullibardine 1993 Vintage single malt Scotch whisky. The history of Tullibardine as a site for brewing and distilling is one of the longest in Scotland. The site on which Tullibardine stand was once home to a brewery.
Today I look at a world whisky from Finland; the Teerenpeli single malt whisky. Whisky is not usually associated with Finland. It is a country associated with cold, dark snowy nights, vodka and a close proximity to the Russian bear and centuries of Russian aggression. Vodka definitely, but not whisky.
