Balvenie Golden Cask vs Caribbean Cask Whisky
Originally this post was part of my Balvenie Golden Cask tasting notes, but it is such a fun and delicious side by side comparison, I decided it warranted a post of its own; Balvenie Golden Cask vs Caribbean Cask whisky. Both these Balvenie releases were finished in rum casks.
Balvenie Caribbean Cask vs Doublewood Whisky
Today I look at a side-by-side comparison of two releases from the Balvenie Distillery. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask vs Doublewood single malt Scotch whisky. Comparing different distilleries side by side is fun, but I find that the most interesting comparisons are the ones between other releases from the same distillery.
Glenfiddich Experimental Series IPA Cask Whisky
Many years ago, I worked for the South African Breweries. Based in Johannesburg at the Sandton head office, I had regular visits to the various distilleries. Each distillery has an individual culture, but the one constant was the smell. The delicious, malty, hoppy aroma of beer being brewed.
Whisky and Camembert Cheese Pairing
I love my regular whisky and cheese pairing sessions. It usually takes place on a Saturday afternoon, and I try a wide range of whiskies with interesting cheeses. Many of the whiskies in my collection are limited editions and not readily available, which makes our tastings exciting but also challenging.
