Another week, another review. And somehow it inevitably comes back to Bruichladdich. If anything, this is a distillery that knows exactly how to make great whisky (and long may it continue!) The readers of this blog will know all too well just how much I love Bruichladdich. It is a distillery that goes about its […]
Read more "Whisky Review #31: Bruichladdich The Organic Scottish Barley"Bunnahabhain is one of those distilleries that many people would not have heard much of, let alone tried. But to say that it is a hidden gem would probably be a huge understatement. This picturesque Islay distillery which counts Caol Ila as its closest neighbour has been around since 1881 (the same year of establishment […]
Read more "Whisky Review #30: Bunnahabhain 18 Years Old (Revisited)"And so here we are, my first blended whisky review. I find it rather surprising that it has taken me till the 29th review to actually feature a blend when you consider that there’s almost always a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label or Dewar’s White Label at home. But seeing as how both those […]
Read more "Whisky Review #29: Johnnie Walker Explorers’ Club Collection – The Spice Road"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"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 […]
