Mouth: old Irish indeed, both 'wide' and relatively light. Sémillon, white chocolate, grapefruits again, coconut and cornflakes in the arrival but it becomes spicier over time, majbe a notch drying. Funny metallic touches as well, very Irish indeed. A little humus. Finish: neither particularly long…

Speed dating… with whisk(e)y! Episode 3: Kilchoman 100% Islay, 3rd edition
Islay region – 50% ABV – $89 | £65
Here I am, back on the dating scene! My first two dates were with a couple of sisters from America – Koval Four Grain Whiskey and Koval Bourbon .
Today I am dating a smoking Scottish lass. I hope she treats me right!
On the nose (Date # 1) – Ashtrays meet white pepper meets rice vinegar and wet cardboard.
Am I on a date with Marge Schott? Did I mention I love her? Marge does have a sweet side, you know…
Tinned fruits, brown sugared boiled apples and a...

Cock-and-bull trio No.6, Hautes Glaces, Pappy, and a surprise
www.whiskyfun.com
I really wanted to try this new baby by Domaine des Hautes Glaces, a distillery in the French Alps where they have pushed terroir to its limits as they do distil their own organic crops only. And 'of course' they're using direct firing, indigenous yeast and all that. You cannot be more 'craft'. We'l...

Tasting Notes: Redbreast 21 Year Old
It’s a matter of record that I’m a huge fan of Irish Distillers, as evidenced by all manner of embarrassing fanboy gushing across the virtual pages of this blog. I was obviously over the moon, then, when I heard that …...

Highland Park and Linn partner up to release 40 bottles of 40yo whisky and 40 turntables
Islands region – 48.3% ABV – £25,000 or $40,000 (40 bottles that each come with a Linn Sondek LP12 Turntable).
Ummm, yeah…. so… something crazy just happened in my mouth.
I just poured and tasted some of the oldest Highland Park whisky released to date (their 50yo being older than this one, obviously). As I sat here nosing and tasting the whisky, besides taking notes as fast and furiously as I could, I began to wonder: how on G-d’s green earth could I be so lucky as to taste this juice?!
I am reviewing a whisky that few people...

Charcoal Whisky
I’ve never written a book review before, unless you count the one I did on an issue of the Beano for a primary school assignment back in the mid-1990s. It’s not the same as reviewing a whisky, or a rum, or a wine, or any type of drink. There are no aromas and there are [...]...

Speed dating… with whisk(e)y! Episode 2: Koval Bourbon
Chicago, IL – 47% ABV – $53
Yet another date with a Koval whiskey.
This time it’s Koval Four Grain ‘s (seemingly younger) sister, Koval Bourbon.
The mash bill is corn and millet. Organic grains, of course.
On the nose (Date # 1) – Upfront spirity yet spicy sweetness that is reminiscent of Big Red gum.
Touches of dill weed and surprisingly enough, lithium grease.
Quite interesting for a bourbon with the industrial component.
On the mouth (Date # 2, a bit unsure about how this relationship is going however, I am hopeful) – That spice component is first...

Highland Park Toast 40 Years of Linn
A press release lands on our doormat with a small bottle. Not an unusual occurrence; but this is a far from usual bottle, as it contains no less than Highland Park 40 year old. I first tasted this whisky as …...

Speed dating… with whisk(e)y! Episode 1: Koval Four Grain whiskey

Picture shown is for the Koval Single Barrel Four Grain Whiskey
Those regular to my blog (and those that are friends via my Facebook group ) know that it’s been a LONG time since I *really* blogged about whisk(e)y. Heck, lately, I’ve had some good reasons. In particular, a certain thing has been taking up my time, you know? Well, this has kept me busy too!
We live in a modern age where I can tell fewer fart and di¢k jokes leading up to my whisky review. I know this makes you sad...

The Glenfiddich Cask Collection
For those who know me, it’s no secret that I have a soft spot for Glenfiddich; the 15yo Solera Reserve was one of the first bottles of whisky I ever bought, I organised a trip to the distillery for a close friend’s stag do earlier this year, and I’m frequently impressed with their pioneering innovations.
