An easy going blog for easy going malts
The whisky appears on the face of it to be full of high rollers. It doesn’t seem to matter how much a bottle costs they sell out and fast but I believe this is all an illusion. For sure looking at the world as a whole there is enough people available to buy 4 or […]
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 […]

Ardbeg is like the original distillery in modern times to become a bit of a cult. Built from the ashes of years of mismanagement and neglect it has become a premium well organised brand under the careful steering of LVMH. In these pages I have tended to just talk about the shiny new annual releases […]
I have reviewed the latest 12 year old from Jura back when I was sent a sample for a Tweet Tasting. The latest selection from the distillery was meant to up the quality and reputation of the single malt portfolio. In my reviews I didn’t think this had been achieved but I thought it would […]
Today a discontinued official bottling from a massive distillery in Speyside. The pearl of Speyside if you please. I have been getting all ranty recently about the ever increasing price of whisky. There just seems to be the never ending price rises just now but do you need to spend that kind of money to […]
So I guess its been a while since I actually reviewed a whisky with so many other interesting aspects to the community to talk about. It has been even longer that I have spoken about Bourbon. In fact it might have been the Small Batch version of this Four Roses Bourbon that I was talking […]
