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.
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.

In honour of Ardbeg Day, I poured a dram of Ardbeg Corryvreckan whisky. This bottle has built a serious reputation among peat lovers. Marketed as the embodiment of “the untamed spirit of Islay,” the Ardbeg Corryvreckan whisky was released as a permanent replacement for Airigh Nam Beist.

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.
My 4th peated dram for this year; the Kilchoman Machir Bay Islay single malt Scotch whisky. The pretty blue of the label matches the blue Indian ocean here on the island of Mauritius.
I was chatting to Steven Saunders, the William Grant Prestige Meta Manager in SA, and he mentioned that they are bringing in more of the Aerstone whisky releases into SA. I have seen a few comments regarding the Aerstone Sea Cask 10 year old Single Malt Scotch whiskyand Land Cask whisky on social media but have not tried them.
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 year old whisky easily makes it onto my top 10 desert island drams. I love the smoky, creamy notes of this release.
