Seven selected rums from around the Caribbean for Glasgow's Whisky Club Tasting Educational

... a mini-Independant Bottler's rather superb 'old school' gutsy sherry Hog with Malt from Springbank, and a real whisky-buffs style of Malt which may be a little intimidating to the inexperienced, so best sipped slow and long !!!

. . . a broad grey area of whisky production which includes additional-maturation, double-maturation, secondary-maturation, 'finishing, 'ACE'ing' and any other style of cask-swap designed to add flavour to whisky. I discuss it (a little) in this Vlog !

. . . a clean, fresh alternative to Jamesons, though very similar in style for obvious reasons !

. . . . an Irish corn whiskey from Cooley Distilleries column still which tastes like no other corn whiskey I have ever tasted, ... in a good way !

. . . a recent addition to the growing family of Irish Trad : Pot Still Whiskies. The more the merrier in my opinion !

. . . a rare Independent bottling of Bushmills which shows a drier, more bitter and interesting style from this Distillery.

. . . a rather rare antique Irish whisky from the 1930s' or earlier ! . . . and a most engaging experience ! Bit of a risk but worth the punt !

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

. . . revisiting a whisky scandal from 2003.

non-chilled 46% complex & quality good price in UK

Orkney's other Malt Distillery gets a mention !

. . . an eccentric introduction to the tradition of British tea and also an introduction to the Bloodhound SSC (which is rather speedy on the straight)

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

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

. . . a fresh perspective is observed regarding isolating the behaviour of whisky as a vehicle for flavours.

. . . whisky advanced masterclass third part all about alcohol in Space, time and chemical property. Odd and interesting !

. . . a visit (after four years) to WhiskyReview 3 with an assessment of how this malt has faired from Batch 18 to Batch 42.

. . . a contemporary version of Glenfiddich reflecting the demand for non-chillfiltered cask strength single malts.

. . . after a less than compelling start this really settles down in the glass as a very decent malt experience.
