Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to one and all! May this festive season bring with it good food, great drinks, exceptional company and unforgettable memories! As promised, I have saved a rather special bottling for this most joyous of occasions and I felt that it was only fitting that a review which was to be […]
Read more "Whisky Review #82: Laphroaig 25 Years Old (2014 Cask Strength Edition)"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)"This week’s review brings us to uncharted territory in the form of a SINGLE GRAIN whisky. It is also the oldest whisky that I have reviewed thus far and I thought that it was probably a good time to add another chapter to this blog by introducing an entirely new category to the mix. Carsebridge […]
Read more "Whisky Review #80: Carsebridge 1965 50 Years Old (Sovereign Bottling)"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"We whisky drinkers can be a funny bunch. While we are fully aware that the whiskies from Islay are predominantly peaty and smoky, we tend to fixate on these two characteristics and sometimes it is to the detriment of the distilleries which do not display these two characteristics as overtly as their counterparts. Bunnahabhain would […]
Read more "Whisky Review #77: Bunnahabhain Double Header – 12 Years Old vs Ceobanach"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"And so we’ve hit another checkpoint on the road to the 100th review on this blog, with this being the 75th standalone whisky review since it all began back in late January 2015. As such, I decided that it was probably fitting to have a rather memorable whisky to remember this review by. Springbank has […]
Read more "Whisky Review #75: Springbank 1968 35 Years Old (Bottled by Chieftain’s)"Clynelish is a bit of an anomaly in the sense that while it has only been around for slightly less than 50 years, its history is dictated by events which precede its establishment. It is also associated with one of the famous closed distilleries in Scotland, which is another reason for its relative popularity. While […]
Read more "Whisky Review #74: Clynelish 1997 16 Years Old PX Finish (Wilson & Morgan Barrel Selection)"This review will focus on the 3 samples which were on offer during the Bruichladdich Micro Provenance 4 livestream and tasting session at the offices of Remy Cointreau Asia on the morning of the 14th of October. The samples are as follows: Cask #361 – distilled in 2008 and matured full term in a French […]
Read more "Whisky Review #73: Bruichladdich Micro Provenance 4 Cask Samples"In the wee hours of the 14th of October, I was invited for a tasting at the offices of Remy Cointreau Asia which was to showcase the 4th edition of the Bruichladdich Micro Provenance series. This was the first time that there was a livestream event hosted in Singapore and it was a case of […]
