Why AND Where did I buy it?Surprise. Nipped down the road to Bargain Booze to pick up a few bottles of beer and some gin for me and my better half and, as is my general habit, had a nosey at the whisky shelf.

The Whiskies Wot Peter Bought : Glenfiddich Fire and Cane
Why did I buy it?I'm a sucker for marketing? Maybe a little; but I was also very intrigued as to how peated Glenfiddich would work with a rum cask finish.

Well for me, Rosebank is the single malt that holds that perch in my mind. But before … Continue reading Rosebank
A boat-load of Glenfarclas. . .
I'll not beat around the bush. I love Glenfarclas. I love its flavour profile. I love that it's been in the same family since the dawn of time. I love the dark brown glass bottles they sometimes use. I love that it's affordable. I love that they make their whisky pretty much exactly the same … Continue reading A boat-load of Glenfarclas. . .
Happy birthday to me . . .(Part 2)
Here we are with the second installment of my edge of the seat thriller that is my rather self-indulgent birthday!

Happy Birthday to me. . . (Part 1)
This is more of a blog than a review. Well, its totally a blog instead of a review but it is whisky-related, so that counts right? It was my 29th birthday last week, so as a whisky obsessive I spent it the best I could, with whisky, and a very understanding partner! The day started … Continue reading Happy Birthday to me. . . (Part 1)
Whisky and YouTube
