Jura Whisky and Comté Cheese
I was quite intrigued when I found a Comté Cheese at Woolworths some time ago. It is not a cheese that I have seen before, and I naturally had to buy it to see how it would pair with whisky.
Bennachie 10 year old Whisky
I bought a bottle of Bennachie 10 year old vatted malt Scotch whisky on auction some time ago. I have never seen the name before, so it was an interesting bottle to get. William Smith started the Bennachie distillery in 1824 as the Jericho Distillery near the village of Insch.
Johnnie Walker Platinum Label 18 year old Whisky
This week’s whisky is a blend again, and this week I chose the Johnnie Walker Platinum Label 18 year old blended Scotch whisky. I have rated various Johnnie Walker releases, and you can read my thoughts on the Johnnie Walker King George V, and the Johnnie Walker Blue Label whisky here.
Tomintoul 10 year old Whisky
Today I’m tasting the Tomintoul 10 year old single malt Scotch whisky. Produced in the Speyside region of Scotland, Tomintoul takes its name from the Gaelic for “Hillock of the Barn.” The village, one of the highest in Scotland at 350 meters (1,165 feet) above sea level, was laid out in a grid pattern by the 4th Duke of Gordon in 1775.
Ardbeg Supernova 2009 Islay Whisky
John’s birthday falls on a Friday and to celebrate; I scheduled one of the peatiest whiskies in our collection as our Whisky of the Week. This week we try the Ardbeg Supernova 2009 Islay single malt Scotch whisky. It was released as one of the peatiest Ardbeg’s ever at over 100ppm.
Longmorn 15 year old Whisky
One of the great joys of collecting whisky is obtaining a limited release bottle that is no longer in production. That is the case with today’s whisky, The Longmorn 15 year old single malt Scotch whisky. John Duff, Charles Shirres and George Thomson founded the Longmorn Distillery Company in 1893.
