Glenrothes is a Speyside whisky I have never written about so when I saw a trio sample of their Bourbon Cask Reserve, Vintage Reserve and Sherry Cask Reserve, buying it was a no brainer. And if you think you’ve never tried anything from them either but have tried Cutty Sark before, then you’ve tried it……

Glenlivet 18 year-old
Happy New Year! We are kicking 2016 off with a brand that doesn’t need an introduction, Glenlivet. To be honest, this is a brand I have truly come to appreciate and enjoy within recent years. Within the Glenlivet range I have tasted the 12, 15, 16 Nadurra Cask Strength and the 21 year-old Archive. My…
Macallan 25 year-old Scotch
Thursday night while out for drinks with my boyfriend we spotted The Macallan 25 in the menu and we just had to try it. Macallan is a brand name everyone has heard off even if they aren’t fans of Scotch. Before I tell you about my experience with this 25 year-old whisky, you must know…
Mortlach Special Strength
When I travel, I always like to bring back with me a new type of whisky I’ve not had before. Last week I returned back from Spain and luckily, our flight layover happened to be in London, so I got the chance to stop at their World of Whiskies duty free shop. It was as…
The Glenlivet 12 year-old
Even if you aren’t a whisky drinker I am certain that you’ve heard of The Glenlivet. It’s a classic, very well known brand that in my opinion new/first-time whisky drinkers first gravitate towards. No, this is not the first time I’ve written about The Glenlivet, but it is the first time I am posting about…
The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year-old
Happy New Year! I am very much looking forward to this New Year and will be kicking off the first blog of 2015 with Balvenie’s 14 year-old Caribbean Cask. My intro to this brand was with Balvenie PortWood 21 year-old and that was followed by the amazing Balvenie DoubleWood 17 year-old. To read more info…
Gordon and MacPhail Series Post 3 of 6: Glenlivet 15 year-old
We are just two days away from holiday! I am almost done with my shopping list and I am definitely looking forward to spending time with family, but also, having a few days away from work. Today I am going to post my third post on my Gordon & MacPhail (G&M) whisky series. The first…
The Balvenie DoubleWood 17 year-old
It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving and although I’m not entirely certain I’ve acquired all the ingredients I need for our Thursday meal, I am certain about the fact that the whisky I am going to talk about today, is absolutely fantastic. My first introduction to this brand was with their Balvenie PortWood 21 year-old. Balvenie…
Gordon & MacPhail Series Post 2 of 6: Benromach 10 year-old
My apologies, I know I missed my regular Monday post. I was unfortunately feeling under the weather and it turned out to be a pretty busy day at work yesterday. I am making up for up by posting today and I am going to post my second post on my Gordon & MacPhail (G&M) whisky…
Aberlour 18 year-old
No better way to spend the weekend than by attending a beautiful wedding in Newport, RI and tasting a whisky I had not tasted before. On Saturday my boyfriend and I attended the wedding of his former roommate. Although it was their special day, the bride was kind enough to give my boyfriend a bottle…
Glenlossie 19 years – The Maltman
The first time I heard of Glenlossie was when the dram I am writing about was placed in front of me to taste. It was a whisky that completely surprised, but before I fully begin to talk about Glenlossie I first need to mention The Maltman. The Maltman is a part of the Meadowside Blending…
Macallan 12
One of joys of whisky is that you can share a dram with a person and chances are that person will get a different whisky tasting experience than you will. Everyone has a different pallet so when it comes to deciphering the tastes in a brand of whisky not everyone will taste the same notes….
