Looking at the blog, I realised last week that I have been trying a mixture of blended malts, such as Black Bottle, as well as Islay and Highland drams. This is not about to change, as a friend invited me for drinks and we tried the Glen Deveron 20 year old Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The release is part of the Royal Burgh of Banff Collection Charter of Robert II, King of Scotland.

Today I write about a whisky that I tasted last year, the Dewar’s 15 year old blended Scotch whisky. Towards the end of last year, I wrote about a great whisky I tasted at The Only Whisky Show. The Dewar’s 12 year old blended whisky made quite an impression on me.

It was my first foray into whisky from the Craigellachie distillery. So let’s look at the entry-level single malt from this distillery, the Craigellachie 13 year old single malt Scotch whisky.
