The Wild Geese Irish Whiskey
What a name for a whiskey, The Wild Geese Irish single malt whiskey. There must be a story behind this. I went to investigate. The name Wild Geese in the Irish context has a long history.
Teerenpeli Whisky
Today I look at a world whisky from Finland; the Teerenpeli single malt whisky. Whisky is not usually associated with Finland. It is a country associated with cold, dark snowy nights, vodka and a close proximity to the Russian bear and centuries of Russian aggression. Vodka definitely, but not whisky.
Mackmyra First Edition Whisky
A whisky all the way from Sweden, the Mackmyra First Edition. It all started on a skiing trip. Eight friends met up, and a conversation started about the opportunity to manufacture a Swedish whisky.

Auchentoshan Heartwood Whisky
On our trip to Dullstroom, we stopped off at the ‘Wild about Whisky’ bar. There we worked our way through a tiny bit of their selection. I tried to taste whiskies that I have not seen before. At one of the tastings, I tried various whiskies aged in sherry casks, and one of the nicest ones was the Auchentoshan Heartwood single malt Scotch whisky.
