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 […]
Read more "Whisky Review #22: Campbeltown Double Header – Springbank 10 Years Old & Hazelburn 12 Years Old"The Isle of Jura (both the island the distillery) has fascinated me for quite a while and with good reason. It is traditionally in the shadow of its far more celebrated brethren, Islay, but that is probably due to Islay having 8 (soon to be 9) distilleries and Jura only having the one. Now, I […]
Read more "Whisky Review #21: Isle of Jura 1993 Sherry ‘Ji’ Cask"In early August, I registered for The Macallan Rare Cask Experience in Singapore, which was an event hosted by Edrington in order to publicise their latest release, The Macallan Rare Cask. As places were limited, I knew that such an event would be rapidly filled up so I roped in one of my mates and […]
Read more "Whisky Review #20: The Macallan Rare Cask"When one thinks of Islay, the first two things that manifest in their mind would be WHISKY and PEAT. And if they were to delve deeper into the first aspect, the first two names on their mind would be Ardbeg and Laphroaig. Both these distilleries are world-renowned for their distinctive and characterful whiskies of both […]
Read more "Whisky Review #19: Battle of the Anniversary Malts – Ardbeg Perpetuum vs Laphroaig 15 Years Old 200th Anniversary Bottling"Caperdonich is one of those distilleries that I have heard of in passing when I was reading up on certain distilleries. I knew that it, along with the Imperial distillery, was once part of the Chivas Brothers (and by extension Pernod Ricard) stable of distilleries which produced whiskies for the various Chivas blends. As with […]
Read more "Whisky Review #18: Caperdonich 16 Years Old (Refill Sherry Cask, The Whisky Agency)"So.. I created a monster. Not a real monster of course, but a monster of a blended malt. And as with every creation, the first incarnation is somewhat rough around the edges, just as this experimental blended malt was. You must be wondering, why did I bother creating a blended malt in the first place? […]
