The quest for malternatives, another go at tequila anejo
www.whiskyfun.com
Not much luck last time we tried a few tequilas, they were all rather flat and without much get-up-and-go, so to speak. majbe we’ll have more luck today… Especially since I’ve read what some tequila bloggers have written, that should help. So this is a kind of guided session…

Very impressed. Less impressed with Brazil, but the rum was good… (see the bonus)

Lagavulin Feis and sixteen and maltmill
www.whiskyfun.com
Rumour has it that the Lagavulin was the best of this year’s Feis Ile bottling. Sadly, WF had no reporter on the island in 2014 but that little Lagavulin reached our doorstep, so let’s try it along one more famous sibling… plus a very strange one as well.

The Italians!

I can’t resist Clynelish
www.whiskyfun.com
Except for a few vintages, especially around the late 1970s, I think Clynelish has always been brilliant. It’s like a ‘grand cru’ in my book, it’s instantly recognisable and will never let you down. It’s like a great vineyard, and just like wine, I believe Clynelish means civilisation. Okay, that ma…

Two new ‘T’ malts
www.whiskyfun.com
In the old days, all malts starting with ‘T’ bar one (Talisker) used to be seen as a little difficult, or ‘meh’. That was, of course, plain stupid, and many Tormores or Tomatins have proven us wrong. Not to mention several other distilleries… Anyway, lets have two new ‘T’ malts!
