Johnnie Walker Blue Label vs XR Whisky
Welcome to the next instalment of my whisky comparison series. I look closer at two exceptional releases from Johnnie Walker: the renowned Johnnie Walker Blue Label vs XR 21 year old blended Scotch whisky.
Ballantine’s 7 yo Bourbon Finish Whisky
Wandering around the supermarket in Tamarin Mauritius I spotted a Ballantine’s whisky I have not tried before; the Ballantine’s 7 yo Bourbon Finishblended 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.
Crown Royal Whisky
Blended whisky time again, and today I write about the Crown Royalwhisky from Canada. The year was 1939. Adolf Hitler has been Führer of Germany for five years. The signs of impending war were visible everywhere in Europe.
Jack Daniel’s Old No 7 Tennessee Whiskey
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.
Auchentoshan American Oak Whisky
I have not tried an Auchentoshan whisky in years. I loved the Heartwood release, and our bottle did not last very long. A couple of years ago, I bought the Auchentoshan American Oaksingle malt Scotch whisky but left it standing in the cupboard until last week when I was looking for something new to try.
Ardbeg Uigeadail Whisky
In December 2013, I got some time to catch up on some of my blog posts. I initially tasted this Ardbeg Uigeadail Islay single malt Scotch whisky during July 2013.
