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.

On our trip to Dullstroom, we stopped off at the ‘Wild about Whisky’ bar. There we worked our way through a tiny bit of their selection. I tried to taste whiskies that I have not seen before. At one of the tastings, I tried various whiskies aged in sherry casks, and one of the nicest ones was the Auchentoshan Heartwood single malt Scotch whisky.
Time for an 18 yo whisky today; I look at the Springbank 18 year old single malt Scotch whisky. Before the arrival of our daughter, Father’s Days meant very little to John. He never knew his father, so there was no reason to celebrate it. However, since her arrival, it has all changed.
It’s been a while since I last posted. Sometimes life gets in the way of good whisky! Much like the Lagavulin Distillers Edition 1994 Islay single malt Scotch whisky, the time has passed so quickly that I cannot recall where we acquired the bottle or where the original packaging is.
I was having lunch at Bottega Cafe in a suburb called Parkhurst in Johannesburg. I asked Savi (the owner) to recommend a whisky to pair with my lunch, and he suggested the Glenrothes. It was my first encounter with The Glenrothes Robur Reserve single malt Scotch whisky.
Today I look at a world whisky, the Amrut Two Continents single malt whisky. In the past, Scotland was known as the home of whisky. Over the past decade, this has changed.
