An easy going blog for easy going malts
The final post from the tweet tasting from AD Rattray is the best in my opinion. The sister expression to the previous sherry edition is this bourbon edition. Available at some point in 2020 there is quite a wait until you can get a bottle but trust me it will be worse it. The whisky […]
This is where the interesting whiskies start from AD Rattray. This Cask Islay edition adds cask strength to the general release and a sherry maturation period to the entry level single malt. Available as a small limited batch from October 2019 this is the first of two new Cask Islay editions to be released from […]

Living in Scotland and indeed a stone’s throw from Glasgow Airport I am in a great position to give advice on how to get around when you […]
The final blend I bottled I think is not a bad little dram at all. Its mostly single malts which makes it out of the Chivas 12 bracket probably and certainly wouldn’t be on sale for under £30. So we are comparing apples and oranges but what did i come up with? The final recipe […]
