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.
Today I look at the Balblair 15 year old single malt Scotch whisky. It is time to look at the second sample that I received from Balblair when they launched their new age statement releases.
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.
It feels like it is Loch Lomond’s year on the blog. It is the fourth release I have tried from this versatile Highland distillery this year. A couple of years ago, I tasted the Loch Lomond Single Grain Scotch whisky. My tasting notes included freshly baked cookies, flowers and grass mixed spicy hints of fruit and citrus zest. I rated it as very good and commented that it seemed a bit young with some rough edges.
