Speyburn Bradan Orach Whisky

A while ago, I spotted the Speyburn Bradan Orach single malt Scotch whisky and added it to my collection. It was in the affordable category and retailed for around R 450.

About two years ago, I found this bottle of Galloway single grain Scotch whisky somewhere in a small bottle shop and bought it. It was relatively affordable, and it was a single grain. Not that this means much, but the information on the bottle about it being made on the banks of Loch Lomond looked interesting.
During the year, I am fortunate to taste many new whiskies. Some are not bad, and some I never want to taste again. Just search for “Ordinary” on this blog, and you will find quite a few examples of these. However, now and again, I taste something that blows my mind.

John went climbing in Iceland two years ago. Not a country that was on my bucket list, until we started researching it for his climb. And not a country that you expect whisky from. But he came back with unforgettable memories and a bottle of Floki Icelandic Young malt.

This is one of the bottles that started my whisky collection before I even realized I was collecting whisky. I tasted the Glenmorangie Lasanta single malt Scotch whisky at my favourite restaurant and loved it. John brought a bottle home soon after to remind us of a great evening.
The bottle is nearly done, and I quickly need to capture the tasting notes for this Forty Creek Barrel Select Canadian whisky. I bought it in Canada during my July trip, and there is barely enough left for a tasting.
