An easy going blog for easy going malts
Ok so we enjoyed the films behind the book but what is it actually like to read the original book from 1947? There are a few prints and versions of the book available but true to form I went with the 2012 release from Birlinn books. It seems whenever I buy a book just now […]
Last week we looked at the affordable and available bottles from Ardbeg and this week we will continue the theme and look at some more affordable and available bottles. First up is the standard 12 year old AncNoc from the Knockdhu distillery in the Highlands. The AncNoc single malt brand being a recent invention from […]
Hey! How are things going with you? Last year I said I wanted to be more regimented with my posting and get a schedule going. I have been trying to post on a Tuesday and Thursday each week and for the most part last year I managed it. For 2020 I have been even managing […]
Back home after visiting the Clydeside distillery and I can sit quietly again with the new make spirit I got as part of the tour. The 20cl bottle contains new make bottled at the filling strength of 63.5% ABV in a timeless simple bottle. Look at the label though and you will see a consistent […]
We interrupt this broadcast for a public service announcement. I got a bean to cup coffee machine for Christmas which was broken straight out the wrapper. There was no help online anywhere and it required actually phoning a human at De’longhi to give me first level support. I can’t believe this was required for what […]
At the end of the first week we end with a Royal Brackla single cask which is the first batch that Boutique-y have bottled. There is an official 12 year old from Diageo which I thought I had tried but it seems not. I think I was getting confused with another Royal distillery. Royal Lochnagar. […]
Nearly the end of the first week and we have had some highlights. Those have been at the start of the week and I must say the end of the week has been a slog. Hopefully week two will have better things but until then lets get on with the show. The Distillery Auchroisk is […]
I am back again with another pouch from Whisky-me and this time its a bottle I bought but didn’t open. Kininvie distillery is a modern distillery on the same site as Balvenie and Glennfiddich used to produce mostly stock for blends. The previous releases from the distillery have been, in my opinion, crazy expensive. Apparently, […]
Keeping content going on a blog is hard work. Sometimes its easier than others but there is a relentlessness to thinking up new content and new ideas. Up to now I have just been posting as and when I feel like it. This has some nice benefits like no pressure and keeping things loose and […]
This Dailuaine is the second post on the Flora and Fauna range from Diageo. The Flora and Fauna range is a long running series of age stated whiskies from mostly unknown distilleries in Scotland under the Diageo portfolio. To see the first one go check out Benrinnes 15 Year Old – Flora and Fauna The Distillery […]
