Yet another bag of blended Scotch
www.whiskyfun.com
I like to taste a few blends from time to time, trying to find gems. It’s not always easy, because the blenders cannot quite select only the finest casks while issuing huge batches of thousands or millions of cases, but I won’t deny some are pleasant drams. What's more, after almost 10,000 tasting n…

Yet another flight by Port Ellen Airlines

It seems that quite a few bottlers had kept some Port Ellen in their inventories, which doesn’t obligatorily mean that they’ve been speculating. Indeed, some are trying to issue jewels every year, and to do that you need to act like a squirrel with its hazelnuts or acorns. So we’ll have one or two n…

Newish and oldish bottlings of hopefully clean and crisp young Bowmores without too much aromatization (CROSS) oak and/or wine influence. We might gather notes that have neither been taken simultaneously, nor even in a row.

The Sunday quest for malternatives, a flight of great cognacs

We haven’t had any cognac yet in 2014, so it’s more than time to have a few, more or less at random. Shall we find more worthy malternatives? Let’s see…

You maj know that Donald Trump owns a golf resort near Aberdeen and that, incidentally, he isn’t too happy (which makes a lot of people happy) because he just lost a legal action against a windfarm being built near his resort. No, no jokes about hot air! Anyway, two years ago Mr Trump selected one c…

Tasting another three Ardbeg
www.whiskyfun.com
Holy featherless crow! Every day that God makes I get questions about the latest Ardbeg ‘Bossa Nova’ (that’s the name, right?) So again, no, I haven’t got it and no, I haven’t tried it and no, I have no plans to try it in the near future. And no, I don’t feel the slightest need to taste it. Having s…

A quartet of youngish Caperdonich

Not that I’m particularly proud of that headline. Now that the ones from the early 1970s are gone gone gone – or so it seems – it’s younger outputs of the closed Caperdonich that are to be tasted. We’ll start with a little aperitif, as we like to do.

The excellent Samaroli people are pushing the design of their new bottles to the loveliest, those are now representing exactly the opposite of what’s done over there in Scotland. Not saying Scottish bottle design is lousy, of course, it’s just a little more… Say bling? But will this Linkwood’s verbi…
