An easy going blog for easy going malts
This time we look at a higher budget documentary about the whisky industry. The Andrew Peat directed film was shot in 2015 and I remember at the time seeing chatter about the film crew being over at Bruichladdich following Jim McEwan. Andrew is an American filmmaker and teacher who works in China. The post production […]
The Pattison brothers and their Victorian whisky empire feature in one of the most famous stories within Scotch Whisky history. Yet it wasn’t too many weeks ago I was still calling them “Patterson” and indeed assuming they were the only children of their parents (they had 12 kids). Justine of Kask Whisky has an online […]
Let’s keep this supermarket shelf whisky theme going with another stable from those high volume shelves. The Malt Blend The Monkey Shoulder blend of single malts has been around since 2005 and is produced by William Grant. The recipe originally included only three distilleries in Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie. All of which is matured in […]
I hope I haven’t lost too many people from my last article on something not whisky but also not even alcohol. Although to be fair I bet the Amazon drivers are still expected to ask for ID at the door! We are back on safe ground today though so lets start rebuilding my reputation with […]

It feels like ages since I wrote about an actual whisky doesn’t it? It is good to search out other things to write about and indeed somewhat cheaper to create that content but actually sitting down with a whisky you can’t beat. This one today was new to me and a birthday present from my […]
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 […]
