Catto’s Blended Scotch Whisky Review
The next edition in my affordable blended whisky series; this week, I look at the Catto’s blended Scotch whisky. It is affordable and in a slightly cheaper than the Johnnie Walker Black Label blended whisky.
Johnnie Walker Gold Label 18 year old Whisky
In my collection, there are a few open bottles that I have not written about yet. One of them is nearly empty – the Johnnie Walker Gold Label 18 year old blended Scotch whisky.

Buffalo Trace Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Review
Today I look at a bourbon that is readily available in SA, the Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight bourbon whiskey. It is also quite affordable, which also helps. Records show that some form of distilling took place on the site in 1775 already.
