James Eadie and the Goblet of Benrinnes 13

~ Peter Hunt ~ 1 Comment

Totally changed my mind at the last minute for this review. It was all planned out and written up and ready to be blogged out, and you will see the fruits of those labours eventually but my mood has taken me somewhere else, somewhere independent, somewhere cask strength. I have got the urge to talk … Continue reading James Eadie and the Goblet of Benrinnes 13

You say Tomatin, I say Tomato. . .

~ Peter Hunt ~ 2 Comments

Let's call the whole thing Scotch! Tomatin! Sits right on the border of the Highlands and Speyside and produces around 5 million litres of whisky a year, so they keep themselves busy up there.

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

I know it's had its critics but I … Continue reading Dalmore. Give me more!

Imperial distillery was founded in Speyside in 1897 by Thomas Mackenzie, this guy had mega-money. He owned the distilleries neighbour Dailuiane … Continue reading Imperial Distillery.

Ok. I'm sorry. Promise I'll do better with the titles of these things. Anyway we've more important things to discuss, let's begin! I was enjoying a week off work, and decided it was time to open my Christmas present. Well. Re-open it. It was wrapped up, I unwrapped it, now I wanted to open it. … Continue reading BenRiach.

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
