Up until a few years ago, not many people had known of the existence of a sixth distillery within the William Grant & Sons stable. It would be appropriate to say that this sixth distillery was overshadowed by its more illustrious (and unfortunate) counterparts. Glenfiddich and Balvenie are world renown brands with impressive growth and […]
Read more "Whisky Review #81: Kininvie 1996 17 Years Old (Batch 1)"Glenfiddich is no stranger to this blog. It has been reviewed pretty extensively over a few blog posts which covered both expressions and events, and this review will add on to that dossier. I’ve also realised that I neglected to provide an in-depth look into the history of the distillery during the previous reviews, so […]
Read more "Whisky Review #79: Glenfiddich Project XX"Aberlour seems to make a periodic appearance on this blog, primarily due to its accessibility and availability at Duty Free and at other sources. Whisky drinkers in Singapore also tend to gravitate towards Aberlour due to its mellow, yet rich and complex character and clever use of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry whiskies. But more often than […]
Read more "Whisky Review #78: Aberlour A’Bunadh Double Header – Batch #47 vs Batch #56"Linkwood is a distillery which is fairly well-known by whisky drinkers and blenders alike, primarily due to its vibrant and accommodating nature. Blenders in particular love it due to its combination of fresh, fruity, green and grassy flavours along with a surprisingly powerful mouthfeel. In this sense, it provides the best of both worlds. The […]
Read more "Whisky Review #76: Linkwood double header – Maltbarn 16 Years Old vs Cadenhead 26 Years Old"Benromach is a distillery which has increasingly made efforts to make itself seen and known around the world, and with good reason. The whiskies that the distillery produces are of a good standard and appeal to a wide range of whisky enthusiasts. While the distillery has been around for 118 years, it was only after […]
Read more "Whisky Review #66: Benromach 2007 Sassicaia Wood Finish"Glenfarclas is a distillery that is well known for two things: Quality sherried whisky and one hell of an independent streak. They tend to make whisky according to their exacting specifications and the quality is of such a good level that it is actually a fairly important component in several of the largest blended whiskies […]
Read more "Whisky Review #65: Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength"Glen Keith is one of those distilleries which is shrouded in obscurity, probably due to the fact that its primary function would be to supply Chivas Brothers (and by extension, Pernod Ricard) with bulk whisky for the company’s various blends. But Glen Keith’s obscurity is further underlined by the fact that it was actually mothballed […]
Read more "Whisky Review #62: Glen Keith 1970 40 Years Old (Silver Seal bottling)"It must be said that the Grants of Dufftown are a very impressive family. Over the last 130 years, they have built and operated no less than 1 grain (Girvan in 1963) and 5 malt (Glenfiddich in 1886, Balvenie in 1892, Ladyburn in 1966, Kininvie in 1990 and Ailsa Bay in 2007) distilleries with a […]
Read more "Whisky Review #61: Balvenie 15 Years Old Single Barrel Sherry Cask"This week’s review focuses on a whisky from a distillery that has been getting a fair bit of attention over the last few years. Glenrothes distillery may have been founded in 1878, but the whiskies which it has been producing has only been seen more frequently since the turn of the millennium. This should come […]
Read more "Whisky Review #57: Glenrothes Oldest Reserve"Auchroisk is one of those distilleries which people don’t talk about often, primarily because there isn’t much of it to go around by way of single malts. The distillery is designed to be a workhorse to provide whisky to be used in the various blends belonging to parent company Diageo and therefore there usually isn’t […]
