Wandering around the supermarket in Tamarin Mauritius I spotted a Ballantine’s whisky I have not tried before; the Ballantine’s 7 yo Bourbon Finish blended Scotch whisky. I love Ballantine’s whisky. I have many bottles in my collection and have written about them extensively. So this bottle landed in my trolley pretty quickly.

Today’s exploration takes us into the world of an iconic spirit – none other than the revered Jack Daniel’s Old No 7 Tennessee whiskey. Whether you’re an ardent fan or on the opposing side of the spectrum, one thing’s sure – this Old No. 7 Tennessee whiskey has left an indelible mark across the globe.
I have not tried an Auchentoshan whisky in years. I loved the Heartwood release, and our bottle did not last very long.

But for now, let’s pour ourselves a dram and dive right into the world of Teacher’s whisky.
