I don’t particularly want to write a serious piece about this annual festival of inanity but I think the repetitive nature of these Jim Murray ‘Whisky Of The Year’ announcements and all the predictable blether they entail is becoming tiresome to satirise. The most glaring issue with the whole debacle is…
As promised, this review is a continuation of the insight into the whiskies offered by The Single Cask at CHIJMES. I will be reviewing seven different whiskies (four of which are part of the Horizontal Laphroaig flight, two of which are from Clynelish and one from Mortlach). The common factor which ties these drams together? […]
Read more "Whisky Review #28: The Single Cask drams"NOTE: When I originally planned this article, I had intended to include an extensive review of the whiskies that I had tried during my prior visit as well as the whiskies that I had tried at the Grand Opening. However, upon further consideration, I have decided to provide a standalone review for those whiskies which […]
Read more "The Single Cask Official Grand Opening"Before I start, I would like to give a shoutout to my cousin Shawn Prashanth who generously purchased a bottle of the Bowmore 12 Years Old for me and requested that it be reviewed. This one is for you mate! Bowmore is a distillery that I have a deep affinity for and this can be […]
Read more "Whisky Review #27: Bowmore 12 Years Old"Highland Park is one of those distilleries which I have always been intrigued by, partly because of its remote location in the Orkney Islands at the northernmost tip of Scotland and partly because the whisky they produce is exceptionally good. If I remember correctly, Highland Park was the second single malt whisky that I tried […]
Read more "Whisky Review #26: Highland Park 12 Years Old"And so here we are, the 25th whisky review I’ve written for this blog to date. It’s also nice to note that I’ve been blogging for 9 months now and the progress since the start has been rather satisfying to see to be honest. I have never previously been a prolific blogger and it heartens […]
Read more "Whisky Review #25: Caol Ila 31 Years Old (Silver Seal bottling)"Dailuaine is a distillery that was totally unknown to me for many years up until January, when I purchased my copy of the Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015 during my time in Scotland. As I was perusing it, I came across the entry for the distillery and it stated that it was owned by Diageo and […]
Read more "Whisky Review #24: Dailuaine 16 Years Old Double Header – WM Cadenhead bottling vs Flora & Fauna bottling"I have to say that the Aberlour Batch #50 which I reviewed sometime back really piqued my curiosity and I have been on the lookout for other expressions from the distillery ever since. In the time that has gone by, I have managed to add two more expressions from the distillery to the list of […]
Read more "Whisky Review #23: Aberlour Double Header – A’Bunadh Batch #52 & 17 Years Old (French Exclusive)"Campbeltown as a whisky-producing region has never really gotten much attention from me for some reason. I reckon it might have to do with the lack of knowledge on my part in the early days as well as a fixation with everything Islay-related. In hindsight, I now realise just how myopic I was in terms […]
Read more "Whisky Review #22: Campbeltown Double Header – Springbank 10 Years Old & Hazelburn 12 Years Old"The Isle of Jura (both the island the distillery) has fascinated me for quite a while and with good reason. It is traditionally in the shadow of its far more celebrated brethren, Islay, but that is probably due to Islay having 8 (soon to be 9) distilleries and Jura only having the one. Now, I […]
