I am always looking for exciting whisky at a reasonable price. Call it the frugal Dutch side of me, but I don’t think expensive necessarily equals good. These last couple of years, I have managed to find great blends and single malt whiskies at affordable prices. Whiskies that you can buy 2 or 3 bottles of and not survive on dry bread for the rest of the month.
There’s no better way to kick off a new year of whisky reviews than with the Port Charlotte 10 year old single malt Scotch whisky. After the rollercoaster of last year, I wanted to start this year with something memorable, and this heavily peated Islay single malt certainly delivered. If the saying “start as you mean to go on” applies anywhere, it applies here.Read More »Port Charlotte 10 year old: An Elegant Islay Single Malt

Welcome back to another instalment of my whisky comparison series. Last time, we explored the world of double-oaked bourbons. This week, we’re heading to the heart of Speyside to compare two of the most recognisable and best-selling single malts on the planet: Glenfiddich 12 vs Glenlivet 12 year old whisky.
Time and again, this blend impresses me. I have yet to meet a bottle of Ballantine’s that I do not love. The Ballantine’s 17 yo and the Scapa Distillers Edition are divine whiskies. And today I am trying one of the older releases in my collection. The Ballantine’s 30 year old blended Scotch whisky. What a long time that is. A whole lifetime.
In today’s exploration, we dive into the exciting realm of 18 year old whiskies, pitting two iconic releases against each other. It’s a showdown of Speyside elegance versus the bold Highland spice as we compare Glenfiddich 18 vs Glenmorangie 18 year old single malt Scotch whiskies in the ultimate battle of flavours and craftsmanship.
