Bulleit 95 Rye Whiskey
I found this bottle of Bulleit Straight 95 American Rye whiskey and just had to try it. Rye whiskey is exploding in South Africa. Even regular bottle shops have started to carry some rye whiskey.
Rating: Excellent
Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for whiskies that I rated as Excellent. Excellent means that after tasting the whisky, I want to pour a second and third glass. It is whisky that I want to keep on drinking and when the bottle is finished, I will buy another one. Rating: Excellent
Aultmore 18 year old Whisky
Today, I’m diving into the Aultmore 18 year old Foggie Moss single malt Scotch whisky. What immediately captures my attention is the enchanting name of their single malt collection: Foggy Moss.

Dewar’s 12 year old Whisky
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.

If the saying “start as you mean to go on” applies anywhere, it applies here.Read More »Port Charlotte 10 year old Whisky Review

Jack Daniel’s Rye Whiskey
Today I look at another Rye release, Jack Daniel’s Rye whiskey. What a roller coaster we have had in South Africa with covid and lock down. When SA went into lock down level 5 in March 2020, the sale of alcohol was banned. A whole industry came to a sudden standstill.
