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 […]

For the purpose of this review, I will not be including the core expressions and will instead be focusing on the cask samples that I […]
Read more "Whisky Review #34: The Glenfiddich Gallery Experience"First up, I’d like to wish everyone a very Blessed and Merry Christmas! Hopefully this day is spent in the company of family and friends, while enjoying good conversations, great food and even a stellar dram or three. This week’s review focuses on a dram from an illustrious distillery which has been experiencing a resurgence […]
Read more "Whisky Review #33: Glen Grant 10 Years Old"Diageo is a company that really gets around the place. Having owned a multitude of distilleries under various companies and partnerships (Distillers Company Limited, Scottish Malt Distillers etc) in the past and more recently as Grand Metropolitan and Guinness (before both merged to form the current incarnation, Diageo), they are the undisputed giants in the […]
Read more "Whisky Review #32: North Port 1979 20 Years Old (Rare Malts Selection)"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 […]
