Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for whiskies that I rated as Divine. Divine means that after tasting the whisky, I try not to finish the bottle in one sitting. Just perfection. Rating: Divine
Whisky and Stilton cheese pairing is something that I see coming past my social media feed regularly, and I decided to try it. So this past weekend, John bought a wedge of Blue Stilton cheese, his favourite cheese, from Checkers, who have a wide variety of unique cheeses.
This weekend is the Rugby World Cup Final and what better way to prepare for South Africa’s part than to taste the Big Peat Cape Town Edition blended malt Scotch whisky. It feels like it was Remarkable Malts’ year on the blog.
Today I look at the second of the Big Peat samples that I got from Remarkable Malts to celebrate the 10th-anniversary release of the smoky fisherman. But I decided to jump right to the end and try the Big Peat 26 year old Platinum Edition blended malt Scotch whisky.
One of my favourite events of the year is the annual Whisky and Spirit live festival in Sandton. Not only do I get to taste a variety of whisky, but I get to meet up with many whisky friends. And over the years, traditions have formed.
I start 2018 on an Indian note – with the Paul John Classic Select Cask Indian single malt whisky. I love exploring world whisky. Especially whisky that comes from non-traditional countries such as South Africa, France, India or Taiwan.
The Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition 1990 single malt Scotch whisky – another release from the Diageo stable that I have had for AGES, but never adequately written about.
