Whisky Works is the experimental Compass Box competitor in the Whyte&MacKay stable. Indeed, their Whisky Maker as they call him Gregg Glass came from that very company. My feelings on Compass Box recently is that the brand might have peaked. I certainly don’t think I see the same kind of social media presence that used […]
J.J. Corry Anfa No.2
J.J Corry or indeed Irish whiskey isn’t something I can proclaim much experience or knowledge in. I do follow the founder Louise and their brand ambassador Niamh and love the family farmer feel to the business. To get more insight into the sector generally though and understand it a bit more I guess I could […]
Linkwood 12 Year Old – Flora and Fauna
The Flora and Fauna range is a long running series from Diageo celebrating a collection of distilleries. Indeed, the series was started by the company UDL which later became Diageo so pretty long running. In the collection most of which are valuable to the blends Diageo produce but rarely known outside those who seek them […]
The Perspective Series 21 Year Old – Berry Bros. & Rudd
When it comes to spirit merchants and independent bottlers there has been a growing set of players in the market. However, if want a level of authenticity which comes from history and tradition then they don’t come any older than Berry Bros & Rudd. Operating out of the same shop in London since 1698 (plus […]
Japanese Blended Whisky #1 21 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
From one blend to another. Where the last article was a Scotch blend (all from Scotland but a mix of malt and grain) this is a blend of all Japanese whiskies.What that means though goodness knows. For background on what the Japanese regulations are, were or is going to be then check out among other […]
Glenfarclas 21 Year Old
Ok lets try blogging again. I had intended to write for so long but something always got in the way. Meh The next few articles will be from Christmas last year which makes them almost ready for thinking about Christmas presents this year! The first one I have is the Glenfarclas 21 year old from […]
Caol Ila 18 Year Old
I was surprised when I did a quick search of my posts to find I haven’t reviewed this 18 year old before. I was sure I got a sample at the distillery but now I think about it perhaps that was the Distiller’s Edition. That visit though was pretty epic. Nothing was planned we just […]
Johnnie Walker Blue Label
Ok, its the 12th of December but we are only on Day 2 here. This could take some serious effort to catch up but somehow I will build up the courage to tackle these little drams. Johnnie Walker Blue Label is actually one I haven’t tried before which might be surprising and I can’t deny […]
The Glenrothes 18 Year Old – Soleo Collection
Following on from your stereotypical Christmas Tamdhu we have another festive season whisky from Glenrothes. It is another Master of Malt mini bottle but this time from an advent calendar rather than a freebie from Santa. This year I am doing the Premium Whisky Calendar from Master of Malt. I have done quite a few […]
Tamdhu Batch Strength – Batch 6
Well Hello there! It seems 2021 has been a bit of a write off for this blog. I started this after I separated from my wife and needed something for me and escape in to but it grew into this regular routine in my life. I have never had the busiest blog on the internet […]
