Elijah Craig 12y Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with Dan & Alex
Another case of a splash of water making all the difference. And it’s another case of a slightly overproofed spirit. It’s possible that my tongue has become accustomed to the […]
Caol Ila 12y with Dan
The unpronounceable Caol Ila (allegedly either ‘cool eye-la’ or ‘cull eela’ depending where you look) is another Malts.com brand, the web presence that covers Talisker, Dalwhinnie, Oban, Lagavulin and a […]
The Bowmore Collection
Fun in bite sized form. Picked up this kit from Bowmore a few months ago and am finally getting around to reviewing it. As you can see, this Collection includes […]
Cragganmore 12y with Jono & Vanni
I had tried the Cragganmore previously on a drinking night with NG, but I lost my notes in a scuffle later that evening. It came as part of the Classic […]
Classic Malts Strong Collection
Picked up the Classic Malts (the Malts.com people) Strong Collection, featuring wee bottles of Cragganmore 12y, Talisker 10y and Lagavulin 16y. I’ve reviewed the Talisker previously, but reviews for the […]
Redbreast 12y
I grabbed this and the next bottle of something called “Irish Whiskey” for St Patrick’s day when we threw a little impromptu get together. My work ethic being what it […]
MacAllan 12y Sherry Oak with Katherine
Yay for surprise scotch presents! Katherine grabbed this for me a few weeks ago so obviously I had to get her help for the review. You may recognize MacAllan as […]
Bowmore 12y
I should come clean on this one before I go any further – after Taliskers, Bowmore is my favourite scotch. If you want to drink single malt scotch on a […]
Just got back from a pile of drinks with NG at the Fox & Feather on Elgin. I had a Talisker 10y, a Cragganmore 12y and a Balvenie 12y… followed by an Irish Carbomb (because tomorrow’s SPD) and a rye sour. My stomach feels pretty North Channel at the moment – choppy and mostly liquor.
Nikka Taketsuru 12y Pure Malt with Katherine at the Whisky Cafe
3rd round, Whisky Cafe. Time to get weird. We tried the Nikka Taketsuru 12y Pure Malt Whisky, Japan’s equivalent of a blend of single malts. This was unlike any whisky […]
Whisky Caramel Corn
So, I don’t know if you know this, but when you make homemade caramel corn as Katherine awesomely does, its actually kind of an interesting chemistry thing. You basically boil […]
Highland Park 12y
Once again, I should start by copping to the fact I already like this scotch. I’m still working my way through my own collection, and I tend to give away […]
