There is real skill on display here, an embryonic talent that will only evolve with time. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/17/headlands-distilling-company

16/07/2021

It’s a rather rich dram; I probably wouldn’t want to drink it all night! https://malt-review.com/2021/07/16/tomatin-18-year-old-oloroso-sherry-casks

15/07/2021

Good, honest releases without the need for phoney baloney Viking embellishment. Perhaps there is hope for Highland Park? https://malt-review.com/2021/07/15/highland-park-cask-strength-batch-1

14/07/2021

All we can be certain of is the bourbon we have today, in the glass. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/14/wathens-single-barrel-bourbon

If you’re a beginner, you’re highly likely to go through Diageo brands like Talisker and Lagavulin. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/13/talisker-10-vs-lagavulin-16

12/07/2021

If you are in charge of the drivel printed on the back of whisky boxes: start making it fun! https://malt-review.com/2021/07/12/lagavulin-11-year-offerman-edition-finished-in-guinness-casks

11/07/2021

All in all, it’s yet another successful Kikerran release. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/11/kilkerran-heavily-peated-batch-4

Ardnamurchan sets a high bar for future distilleries to follow in its footsteps. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/10/whisky-packaging-and-an-ardnamurchan-tasting

If this whisky were a birthday celebration, it would definitely be a surprise party. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/09/glenmorangie-a-tale-of-cake

08/07/2021

With 10 years of maturation and cask-strength bottling, Glen Scotia has nailed the red wine finish. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/08/glen-scotia-campbeltown-malts-festival-edition-2021

07/07/2021

Ardbeg's annual Limited Editions arrive with names and livery that are more exuberant than the distillery’s core range. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/07/ardbeg-scorch

06/07/2021

I found this whisky quite refined, which I attribute to the age. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/06/berry-bros-and-rudd-the-perspective-series-1-40-year-old

05/07/2021

Give me a bottle, a cozy chair, a crackling fireplace, and check on me in a couple years, please. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/05/gordon-and-macphail-dallas-dhu-1979

04/07/2021

There’s still plenty of whiskey out there that is worth the time and energy to seek out. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/04/wild-turkey-liquor-barn-picks

03/07/2021

Is this good enough to be a top three whisky for one of the whisky industry’s most known awards? https://malt-review.com/2021/07/03/glen-grant

02/07/2021

For the price, I think this is excellent. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/02/islay-mist-21-years-old

In whisky, the journey can be as rewarding as arriving at the destination. https://malt-review.com/2021/07/01/in-search-of-a-9

No matter how far we have come, it is always good to return to our roots. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/30/tbwc-cambus-and-old-particular-cameronbridge

29/06/2021

This is by far the most interesting of the Four Roses limited editions I have tasted. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/29/four-roses-2020-limited-edition-small-batch

The story of an essential whisky book. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/28/interview-with-philip-morrice-the-schweppes-guide-to-scotch

27/06/2021

This is a complex and full-bodied rum. If you’re looking to explore more rum, this is a great rum bottler to follow. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/27/compagnie-des-indes-guyana-uitvlugt-18-year-rum

26/06/2021

As a non-bourbon drinker there appear to be relatively limited attempts to win me over. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/26/american-idiot-musings-of-a-bourbon-novice

You are likely aware of the concept of the difficult second album. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/25/ardnamurchan-ad-01-2101-single-malt

Whatever the effect of sunlight on whiskey, it’s not a positive one. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/24/the-effect-of-sunlight-on-whiskey

Is anyone excited about Benromach? https://malt-review.com/2021/06/23/benromach-cask-strength

22/06/2021

This bourbon fits into the category of “very good value for the money” which is all I was after. I’ll happily sip this neat, quaff it on the rocks, or use it as the base for a Manhattan or a highball cocktail. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/22/old-forester-100-proof

21/06/2021

Personally, the quality of this whiskey and the joy it brings me justify the price. Every time I have a dram, I feel complete. https://malt-review.com/2021/06/21/jameson-18-year-old-bow-street-cask-strength
