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 […]

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 […]

The whisky produced at the distillery was also said to be the best in the Lowlands and it was probably the only distillery which practised triple distillation […]
Read more "Whisky Review #64: Rosebank 1991 14 Years Old (Dun Bheagan range)"This week’s review focuses on a blended malt from Japan which has captured the imagination (and palates) of many who have come into contact with it. It is a well-made whisky which showcases the best aspects of both the distilleries which contribute to its make-up. The Taketsuru range of blended malts (consisting of the Pure […]

It is a distillery which produces some rather exceptional whiskies and it definitely deserves far more credit and attention than it presently has. The distillery was founded in 1897 by a group of Inverness-based businessmen who owned the […]

Having delved into some of the […]
Read more "Whisky Review #58: Balblair 2004 10 Years Old"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.
