Whisky of the Week review and tasting notes for whisky I rated Very Good. When the dram is enjoyable and memorable, and we don’t mind having another glass later in the week. This is bottles I might use for cocktails and the occasional afternoon sipper. Rating: Very Good

This is not about to change, as a friend invited me for drinks and we tried the Glen Deveron 20 year old Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The release is part of the Royal Burgh of Banff Collection Charter of Robert II, King of Scotland.

I recently came across Sheep Dip blended malt Scotch whisky online, and the label and name immediately caught my eye. Who wouldn’t want to try something called “Sheep Dip”? The name alone makes the whisky intriguing. The label is also very different from the standard whisky bottles.
