An easy going blog for easy going malts
There are a lot of articles here now and there are quite a few distilleries represented. Some more than once but many have not been covered at all. Linkwood is a distillery which I thought I had tried before but after a search here it appears that it wasn’t the case. The Distillery The Linkwood […]
Tomato or Tomatin who knows what its called but the distillery is a large and industrial building near Inverness in Scotland. I have visited the distillery shop once while holidaying in Aviemore a few years back but there wasn’t enough time for a tour. Part of the coach holiday circuit the tours were packed out […]
The last time we had Rye in the calendar I mentioned it was my first try of the stuff. Well we are back for the second installment and this time its a PX finish. PX is a strong and sickly sweet sherry used for pouring over ice-cream in Spain. Its quite a bold flavour and […]
English whiskies are a growing market and one which I haven’t enjoyed yet. There is a number of difficult distilleries in their early stages of production but I have often left perhaps commercial pressures are leading to whisky being released before it is ready. Cotswold have an official release out which I haven’t tried but […]
Ok so yesterday was a tale of two halves. Expensive whisky but good whisky. Macduff is a distillery which doesn’t have the same cult following as the probable producer of yesterdays Islay so perhaps this while be more reasonable in price. The Distillery The Macduff distillery is not a great looking distillery as you can […]
wow things are getting out of hand here with the reviews. I am sitting down to write them up on the 22nd with over a week of reviews to do. Christmas is a time for family and joy and this family has been struggling with Chicken Pox, dance shows, babies, broken washing machines and more […]
Day 14 initially I thought was a repeat of a bottle I tried in a tweet tasting. The labels on the Boutique-y bottles are cool and remember able. This is a great trick but with so many releases now they aren’t unique to each batch so when I see that horse-y label I originally though […]
After a brief intermission for a trip to Good Spirits I am back on the Advent articles. The 13th day brings a very well aged single malt. This time it is from Ben Nevis which is a distillery I have only tried one bottle of and never owned one. The Ben Nevis 10 Year Old […]
I am miles behind on the advent calendar articles so should really be doing those write ups. However, I am just back from the Good Spirits Co in Glasgow and writing this was more appealing. Having recently moved banks for a switching incentive I have spent most of this month fixing the mess. The final […]
Day 12 already and we are half way through the run up to Christmas. It always surprises me how quickly Christmas goes in now. It’s probably a lot to do with working so intensely through December but each year I want to slow down and savour the moment but as yet its never came to […]
