Worth a try. Should be decent I think.

A lovely bottle of Glengoyne tried yesterday. A special release made for British Forces serving in the South Atlantic.

Bottle 51 of 133. 58.4%. 16yo. Refill Hogshead.

Lovely stuff. Dominated by rich sticky toffee pudding.

For anyone passing RAF Mount Pleasant it’s £95.

Another year. Another mass sale on Diageo ‘special edition’.

Anyone would think these are unpopular and overpriced…

A friend went up to Campbeltown recently and was kind enough to pick me up a little something from Springbank’s shop.

I asked for a Longrow from the demijohn as it’s always going to be good. No idea what’s in this of course, but at cask strength you can’t go wrong for £60

What I’m drinking this month.

It’s a classic. It’s 10 years old. It’s a bit of a sherry bomb. And it’s under 46%.

Hard to go wrong with Edradour.

I was forced to use face recognition to access a whisky review this week.

Government overreach through the bad drafting of legislation continues.

This month’s review: Adelphi Caol Ila 12yo.

A great whisky from a great independent bottler. Cask strength refill sherry butt. And all the joy that brings

I could not resist this multi-pack offer online. Yes it worked out about £20 more for the CS than normal retail prices, but getting hold of it at RRP seems near impossible these days.

Just arrived in Majorca. When in Spain do as the Spanish to and get yourself some brandy.

For my money the Grand old Duke of Scotland never fails to hit the spot.

Shame it’s relatively hard to get in the UK.

Tonight I’m curating a tasting to mark Five years of Cardiff Whisky Group using the six distilleries that have received the best scores in that time.

That’s over 450 whiskies from ~120 identifiable distilleries. And we’ve only scratched the surface.

That escalated quickly…

Happy weekend

Next month I’m running a special tasting where we try the top six performing distilleries from the first five years of Cardiff Whisky Club.

These are the bottles. Some exciting options.

The worst thing about whisky auctions in the UK is that it’s the only practical way to get Hazelburn.

This arrived today and will be entering my tasting club in the summer.

Happy weekend!

Some new additions to the shelf this month.

I needed a straight ex-bourbon for an upcoming tasting so it was hard to look past this 17yo from Thompson Bros.

Also a Palo Cartado finished Royal Brackla from Cadenheads is too good to miss.

Both cask strength naturally.

A pleasure to meet @billyabbott.co.uk and the Whisky Exchange team in Cardiff last night.

Lots of great drams to try but the Ben Nevis takes the top spot.
