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.
One of the great perks of travelling internationally is browsing through duty-free shelves. In airports like London Gatwick, whisky fans are often rewarded with unique finds. On a recent trip, I spotted the Jack Daniel’s single malt Tennessee whiskey—a release that immediately caught my attention.

I have tried many of the releases from Loch Lomond, but have not written about the entry-level release; the Loch Lomond Original single malt Scotch whisky. So today I write about the last Loch Lomond mini from my stash that I have tasted but not yet captured.
Looking at the blog, I realised last week that I have been trying a mixture of blended malts, such as Black Bottle, as well as Islay and Highland drams. This is not about to change, as a friend invited me for drinks and we tried the Glen Deveron 20 year old Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The release is part of the Royal Burgh of Banff Collection Charter of Robert II, King of Scotland.

When I first laid eyes on the Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest, I was hooked. The bottle’s striking artwork, created by illustrator Pomme Chan, features bold, vibrant colours that practically shout from the shelf.

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.
We were out shopping one Saturday morning when I saw the bottle of Talisker 10 year old single malt Scotch whisky and bought it on the spot. Friends have been sharing pictures of bottles from this distillery for ages. A book I on whisky food pairings listed this as one of the best drams to pair with food and I realised that did not have it in my collection.
