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
While visiting Scotland last year, I was fortunate to taste the Bladnoch 15 year old single malt Scotch whisky while staying with my sister and brother in law. The older bottling has the green label and the sheep on the front. Bladnoch is a new distillery to add to my tasting list, and it was fun sitting in the Scottish sun with my family and trying it.
I am looking back at a dram I tasted last year during my visit to the Loch Lomond Distillery: The Loch Lomond Inchmurrin 12 year old single malt whisky. During August last year, I had the opportunity to go on a Loch Lomond distillery tour at their facility in Alexandria, located in the Scottish Highlands.
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.
During my recent holiday in the UK, I had the chance to try some intriguing whiskies. While visiting the Loch Lomond distillery was a highlight, my brother-in-law also treated us to some interesting expressions from his personal collection. One of the standouts was the Ardnamurchan AD single malt whisky from the Scottish West Highlands.
I have had this bottle of Glenmorangie 18 year old Extremely Rare single malt Scotch whisky in my collection for so many years; I can’t even remember where I got it. It has stood in the back of the cupboard for at least seven years. I have not touched it in many a moon.
Continuing with my notes from the Loch Lomond distillery visit, I’m diving into the Loch Lomond Steam and Fire single malt Scotch whisky today.
