Play that Funky Music Springbank

~ Peter Hunt ~ Leave a comment

That's probably the worst/best title yet. I'll let you decide. Springbank. From that Westerly outcrop that is Campbeltown. Once a thriving whisky community it now is the home to just three distilleries, Glengyle, Glen Scotia and of course Springbank. Springbank and Glengyle distilleries are owned by J.A Mitchell and sons. A family run and very … Continue reading Play that Funky Music Springbank

Back on the Edinburgh drams after my emergency break-away for the Glenkinchie 10. This one was part of a whisky flight I had in the Ensigne Ewart, I'll cover the rest in due course but I wanted to start with this one as it intrigues me. Dalmore. I know it's had its critics but I … Continue reading Dalmore. Give me more!

Glenkinchie 10. Emergency Review.

~ Peter Hunt ~ Leave a comment

Strange title I know but you'll find out why soon enough. I've got a soft spot for Glenkinchie. In fact I've got a soft spot for lowland distilleries really.

Emergency Review.

Whilst in Edinburgh I had the great opportunity to taste a whisky from a long lost distillery.

So if you were looking for a who's who 2019 of Edinburgh's pubs, maybe buy a guide. or probably use TripAdvisor as your 21st century alternative. I … Continue reading Edinburgh.

Monarch of the Glen-fiddich

~ Peter Hunt ~ 2 Comments

Arguably the most famous brand in single malt scotch whisky. Its a total icon of the genre, the Bob Hope of the whisky world; it's been around for as long as we can remember and it is still relevant and knocking out quality scotch like Mr Hope did with his jokes for so many years. … Continue reading Monarch of the Glen-fiddich
