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
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.
Today I look at one of the best drams to pair with seafood. The Caol Ila 12 year old single malt Scotch whisky. We discovered this secret many year ago at an Oyster, Wine, and Food Festival.
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.

We got to taste a variety of releases, however, the Jack Daniel’s release that impressed me most was the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select Tennessee whiskey.
