EP151 whisky review 120 - Bushmills Original Jan 01, 0001

... a fresh, decent, simple (but substantial) Blended Irish Whiskey which can become deceptively "more-ish !" if your not careful with your measures. With content matured for at least five years, this gives a good balance between retaining grain youth and cask influenced maturity.

EP152 whisky review 121 - Jameson Crested Ten Jan 01, 0001

... a recent version of Jameson Whiskey now more widely available due to the growing popularity of traditional 'Pot Still' Irish Spirit. Basically, this carries more complex notes and range of smell and flavour compared to the standard Jameson.

... a Supermarket Special, and for the price of £13.49, a good deal !

EP157 whisky review 126 - Connemara Single Cask Peated Irish Whiskey Jan 01, 0001

EP158 whisky review 127 - Ardbeg Corryvreckan Jan 01, 0001

. . . a decent version of a fashionable "Dead Distillery" Islay Malt which benefits from being not too long in cask, so the still signature is intact, and the peat influence is still fresh.

EP349 whisky review 286 - Chat with Serge from Whiskyfun Jan 01, 0001

. . . an informal chat with Serge Valentin, the proprietor of WhiskyFun and stalwart of the MaltManiacs. Someone who shows just what the internet was invented for, the articulate and intelligent freedom of speech.

. . .

EP352 whisky review 289 - Old Parr 12yo Scotch Jan 01, 0001

. . . after an unpromising first impression, a growingly complex and rewarding Blended Scotch of character and substance.

EP353 whisky review 290 - Naked Famous Grouse Jan 01, 0001

. . . naked by name, but not by smell and taste experience, a very modern and 'engineered' Scotch.

EP354 whisky review 291 - Johnnie Walker Double Black Jan 01, 0001

. . . the standard Black Label with extra wood-sweet and dollops of decent smokiness. A variation on the theme that will work in Bars but will never top the excellent Green Label.

EP355 whisky review 292 - Gin Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP356 whisky review 293 - Introducing Young Islay Malts Jan 01, 0001

. . . with increased demand and limited supply, Distillers are marketing younger aged whiskies as 'special releases' some are special, some are most certainly NOT ! I offer advice on choosing.

. . . .

EP358 whisky review 295 - Kilchoman Sherry Cask 2012 Jan 01, 0001

EP359 whisky review 296 - Laphroaig Cairdeas (55%) Jan 01, 0001

. . . . about as powerfully flavoured a whisky as you can buy, not just a peat monster, a BIG Angry peat monster.

EP360 whisky review 297 - St Georges American Malt Whisky Jan 01, 0001

. . . way out west, they're giving Scotch a Californian twist with a young Single Malt which represents character and quality in the arena of World whiskies. Should get better too over the next few years.

EP366 whisky review 303 - Bankrowburn Jan 01, 0001

. . . quite simply the rarest Independent bottling of Springbank EVER and due to 'provinance' now the most expensive bottle of Whisky in the World ... ever ! . . .

EP367 whisky review 304 - Yoichi 15yo Japanese Malt Jan 01, 0001

. . . .

EP368 whisky review 305 - Hakushu 'heavily peated' @ 48% Jan 01, 0001

. . . an unusual version of Japanese Malt being similar to some scotch peated whiskies like Ardmore. . . . .It is young tasting and different.

EP369 whisky review 306 - Karuizawa 1990 @ 56.1 % Jan 01, 0001

. . . rather expensive, collector's gold-dust Malt from Japan, hyped up by the fact that the Distillery is deceased ! For the drinker, this is a good sherry monster and not too refined.

EP370 whisky review 307 - vintage whisky advice with Angus Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP371 whisky review 308 - marking and writing on whisky bottles Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP373 whisky review 310 - Tobermory 10yo @ 46.3%vol Jan 01, 0001

. . . only five years ago, the bargain-basement Malt in the British supermarkets, but now is completely re-born as an interesting, quality, craft malt.

EP374 whisky review 311 - Your Solera Bottle Jan 01, 0001

. . . .

EP375 whisky review 312 - Bell's Decanter Advice Jan 01, 0001

EP376 whisky review 313 - Crawfords 3 Star Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP377 whisky review 314 - create your own Whisky Liqueur Jan 01, 0001

. . . it's easier than you might think, and the results can be excellent.

EP378 whisky review 315 - AD Rattray's 19yo malt-blend Batch No: 1 Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP379 whisky review 316 - Blue Hanger Blended Malt (Edition 6) Jan 01, 0001

. . . another good example of a malt-blend which offers better value for money for a canny whisky drinker.

EP380 whisky review 317 (1_2) - Greenfields 5yo Pure Malt Whisky from 1960's Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP381 whisky review 317 (2_2) - concluding review of Greenfield's 1960's Scotch Jan 01, 0001

. . . the delight of some old bottles of spirits is in the complex detail of smell and taste after one opens the bottle after many years of being sealed.

EP382 whisky review 318 - Maxime Trijol XO Cognac Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP383 whisky review 319 - Cadenhead's Maison Guerbe cask Cognac 8yo Jan 01, 0001

. . . . quite simply a hidden gem of the spirits world.

EP384 whisky review 320 - Clos Martin Armagnac (folle blanche) 1986 Jan 01, 0001

a well aged modern-tasting quality Armagnac well worth the effort of tasting and helped by about 25years of sensitive maturation.

EP385 whisky review 321 - Darroze 40yo Terroire Cask Armagnac Jan 01, 0001

very big quality nose followed by a very complex quality taste. . . . simply a rare experience.

EP386 whisky review 322 - Springbank Rundlets & Kilderkins Jan 01, 0001

. . . essentially Springbank's quartercask maturation using smaller than usual casks to mature the spirit faster. With this version, it works producing a chameleon, complex ten year old whisky which seems older and more mature.

EP387 whisky review 323 - Royal Salute 21yo Scotch Jan 01, 0001

. . . a very good example of a 'presentation' whisky where the smell and flavour are designed to suggest rather than impose an consumer experience.

EP388 whisky review 324 - Glenfiddich 12yo Scotch re-reviewed Jan 01, 0001

. . . a timely return to one of the most recognisable of Scotch malts which shows signs of quality improvement . . .

EP389 whisky review 325 - Laphroaig 1998 12yo BB&R (Indi: bottling) Jan 01, 0001

As some 'batch discrepancies' appear with some official bottlings by Distilleries, always worth checking the on-line review circuit for Independent bottling options. Some bottlings are poor, however real stars can also be found.

EP390 whisky review 326 - Bladnoch 20yo @ 46% Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP391 whisky review 327 - Octomore 05_1 Jan 01, 0001

. . . at 169 ppm, this is regarded as the most heavily peated Scotch whisky ever produced. The peating level does not translate into phenolic power of flavour but rather phenolic complexity.

EP392 whisky review 328 - Paul John Malt Whisky Jan 01, 0001

. . . a very good example of the growing diversity of quality malt whisky from across the World.

EP393 whisky review 329 - whisky of the year 2012 Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP394 whisky review 330 - GlenDronach 1993 19yo Single Cask 487 Jan 01, 0001

. . . a very good 'craft produced' sherry-matured single malt scotch, proving oloroso is not always sugar-sweet confectionary.

EP395 whisky review 331 - Sherry and Whisky Jan 01, 0001

. . . some varied information on how sherry relates to sherry-matured whiskies.

EP396 whisky review 332 - Longmorn 30yo (Gordon & Macphail) Jan 01, 0001

. . . a very substantial Independent bottling of a hard-to-find Speyside classic by the name of Longmorn, the blenders must-have malt.

EP397 whisky review 333 - Chivas Regal 18yo Jan 01, 0001

. . . for such a large volume blend this is decent quality with several malts showing well in the mix.

EP398 whisky review 334 - Johnnie Walker Swing Jan 01, 0001

. . . a less well known JW blend which is increasingly the best JW option of flavour-chasers.

EP399 whisky review 335 (1_2) - Buchanans 12yo Jan 01, 0001

. . . this trad-blend took me by surprise with it's quality. Great complexity for the age and readily available in South America.

EP400 whisky review 335 (2_2) - Buchanans 12yo revisited Jan 01, 0001

an update on whisky review 335 (1/2) providing new information and a fresh story relating to the previous review.

EP401 whisky review 336 - Cutty Sark Storm Jan 01, 0001

. . . . an engaging, contemporary blended scotch with plenty of flavour.

EP402 whisky review 337 - Introducing Three Dead Distilleries Jan 01, 0001

. . . a trip into a scotch sub-culture of dead/demolished/mothballed Distilleries, and there are plenty of them out there.

EP403 whisky review 338 - Rosebank 14yo Signatory Jan 01, 0001

. . . . a dead-distillery (more realistic than the nicer sounding "silent stills") which offers a great flavour range, but carries a bit too much 'heat' from poor distillation.

EP404 whisky review 339 - Brora 23 yo Signatory 46% Jan 01, 0001

. . . a less familiar version of what is now a 'cult' distillery. If they ever revive Brora the purchase premiums will probably be rather like Lagavulin.

EP405 whisky review 340 - Dallas Dhu 24yo (Cadenhead) Jan 01, 0001

. . . a scotch which comes from a small speyside Distillery which is now a non-productive museum. Shame really, such a wasted resource and employment opportunity.

EP406 whisky review 341 - Benriach 12yo 'Horizons' Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP407 whisky review 342 - Dalmore 21yo (Signatory) Jan 01, 0001

. . . not an official bottling of Dalmore, this Independent bottling is non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and cask strength, so it's just more naturally presented than standard official bottlings.

EP408 whisky review 343 - Tomatin Decades Jan 01, 0001

. . .

EP409 whisky review 344 - Information on Whisky Maturation and Finishing Feb 27, 2013

EP414 whisky review 349 - Dunvilles VR Irish Whisky (circa 1930) Mar 17, 2013

. . . a rather rare antique Irish whisky from the 1930s' or earlier ! . . .

EP415 whisky review 350 - Springbank 18yo Mar 20, 2013

. . . a well-presented malt which shows all the benefits of 46% vol, natural colour and non chill-filtration.

EP416 whisky review 351 - Cardhu 12yo Single Malt & Pure Malt Mar 24, 2013

. . . revisiting a whisky scandal from 2003.

. . .

EP420 whisky review 354 - Imperial single malt (D.T. 19yo @ 53.1%) Apr 07, 2013

. . . rarer than Port Ellen, more obscure than Scapa, more 'mothballed' than producing, this is Scotland's most elusive producing Distillery.

EP421 whisky review 355 (1_3) - Advanced Whisky Masterclass - Smell Sense Apr 10, 2013

. . . the most in-depth whisky masterclass on the internet, taking awareness to the next level.
