Bulleit 95 Rye Whiskey
I found this bottle of Bulleit Straight 95 American Rye whiskey and just had to try it. Rye whiskey is exploding in South Africa. Even regular bottle shops have started to carry some rye whiskey.
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

Dunville’s Three Crowns Sherry Finish Whiskey
Today I try the last of the Dunville samples and it seems that I left the best for last. The remaining sample was the Dunville’s Three Crowns Sherry Finish blended Irish whiskey. The original Three Crowns brand was introduced in the 1830s and it was around for about 100 years before being discontinued.
Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey Review
In the bourbon world, few names carry the weight of tradition and history, like Bulleit bourbon frontier whiskey. This remarkable spirit traces its roots back to a 150-year-old family recipe. The recipe was created by Augustus Bulleit, the great-great-grandfather of the brand’s founder, Tom Bulleit.
Teeling Single Malt Irish Whiskey
I am exploring the last of my Teeling samples, a single malt whiskey from Ireland, and it is time for the Teeling single malt Irish whiskey. I wrote about Teeling whiskey for the first time in 2015 when I tasted the Teeling Small Batch whiskey. I loved it.
Bisquit & Dubouché VS Cognac
A fun change of pace today, I get to look at the Bisquit & Dubouché VS cognac from the Campari Group. I tried this cognac a few years ago when it was still part of the Distell stable. I used it in an apple cider cognac cocktail then. It was a nice enough cognac for cocktails, but I found it slightly too spicy.
