Clan Denny Islay Edition Whisky
Last week I bought a bottle of Clan Denny Islay whisky. In my ongoing search for affordable and delicious bends, I have tasted some rather “interesting” blends and I have tried some excellent blends.
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
Kavalan King Car Conductor Whisky
This week I am tasting the Kavalan King Car Conductor single malt whisky from Taiwan. Back in 2009, when I started collecting whisky, it was only possible to find whiskies from the more traditional whisky-making countries like Ireland, USA and Canada.
Compass Box No Name No 2 Whisky
I tasted the Compass Box No Name No. 1 and the Compass Box No Name No. 2 blended malt Scotch whiskies about 18 months ago and have yet to capture the tasting notes. Released in 2019, this is the second limited edition in the Compass Box No Name series. The third bottling in this series was released in 2021.

Paul John Oloroso Cask Whisky
At the start of December 2021, I tasted the Paul John PX Cask Indian single malt whisky. A rich and dram from India that is ideally suited for winter sipping. December in South Africa is during summer, and as lovely as the PX Cask was, I am keeping my bottle for winter. The Paul John Master Distiller, Michael D’souza, also released an Oloroso Select Cask finish Indian single malt whisky.
Private Barrel Co No 108 Whiskey
During December, Segan, a whisky friend tagged me on a post on Instagram. He tried a new Checkers Private Barrel Co release and loved it. He described it as ‘… the best tasting Irish whiskey for the sub R300 range that I’ve had this year and has a nose like a hummingbird cake.”
