Another week presents us with another new review and this one is a Speysider with a French connection! The Glenlivet is a well known brand, having been toe to toe with Glenfiddich for supremacy over the past 5 years until midway through 2015, when it finally overtook its fierce rival to become the best selling […]
Read more "Whisky Review #44: The Glenlivet 15 Years Old French Oak Reserve"This week’s review focuses on four different whiskies from the same distillery, namely the Isle of Arran distillery. For the purposes of comparison, there will be two distillery bottlings going up against two independent bottlings in order to showcase the different nuances that all four possess. But before we get into the reviews, let’s first […]
Read more "Whisky Review #43: Arran (Distillery bottlings vs Independent bottlings)"This week’s review focuses on the Auchroisk 21 Years Old, which has been bottled by The Single Cask for their bespoke range of single malt whiskies. For those who have yet to visit the bar, it prides itself in showcasing independent and single cask Scotch whisky expressions from unheralded distilleries and independent bottlers, allowing consumers […]
Read more "Whisky Review #42: Auchroisk 1991 21 Years Old (The Single Cask exclusive bottling)"Something that I have noticed with regard to my posts on the blog since the beginning is that there tends to be a higher concentration of Islay and Speyside whisky reviews in comparison to Highland, Island or even Lowland reviews. In fact, I believe that I can confidently say that the Lowlands have the least […]
Read more "Whisky Review #41: Auchentoshan 12 Years Old"Talisker is a distillery that has fascinated me quite a bit over the last year, primarily due to its location on the exceptionally beautiful Isle of Skye as well as the rather interesting flavour profile of the whiskies that they produce. It is also very much a distillery that I intend to visit sometime in […]
Read more "Whisky Review #40: Talisker 10 Years Old"Full disclosure: I’ve noticed that the previous Aberlour-related reviews on this blog are some of the most popular articles that I have written to date, so I thought that it was time for me to add another one to the Aberlour stable. Ahh Aberlour, a distillery which polarises my opinion quite a bit. Readers of […]
Read more "Whisky Review #39: Aberlour A’Bunadh Batch #53"First of all: The date and time of this post was not random, but rather intentional. The date and time mark the official first anniversary of this blog, which has become a labour of love and something that I have poured my heart and soul into. I am immensely grateful to each and every one […]
Read more "Whisky Review #38: Yamazaki 18 Years Old"I’m quite happy to have gotten a chance to review this beauty, primarily because of two reasons: #1: It is my first Japanese whisky review. #2: It is a whisky that has become a victim of its own success and has been phased out due to a lack of supply and far too much demand. […]
Read more "Whisky Review #37: Nikka ‘Yoichi’ 15 Years Old"And so here we are, my very first Balbair-centric whisky review. I have to admit that this distillery is very much a hidden gem, although it has of late become more prevalent in the eyes of whisky drinkers around the world. The distillery itself was founded in 1790 in the Northern Highlands region of Scotland […]
Read more "Whisky Review #36: Balblair 1975 32 Years Old"Jura is one of my favourite distilleries and it has long been known that their Superstition expression was the very first single malt whisky that I tried back in 2008. The distillery is owned by Whyte & Mackay, which in turn is owned by Emperador Inc. The latter is a Philippines-based spirits conglomerate which is […]
