It’s very rare for me to enjoy a pour from a lowland distillery, primarily because those bottlings rarely make their way to the US. I’ve always enjoyed the @glenkinchie.distillery 12yr & ran across this offering as I was checking out my new local whisky shop. I thought I would blindly give it a try with no expectations just to excite my curiosity & enjoy the experience of something unknown & learn more about the characteristics of lowland distilleries. Color: Honeyed Gold Nose: An elegant floral arrangement from the opening of the canister; elderflower/cookie dough/peaches out the can (in syrup)/toasted almonds Palate: Oaky/orchard fruit/citrus notes/vanilla bean Finish: Gracefully long & elegantly floral Track: Trane’s My Favorite Things on the Jazz side & @littlebrother_nc Sittin Alone #scotch #jazz #jazzandwhisky #jazzlover #jazzlife #hiphopandscotch #lowlandwhisky #scotchwhisky #scotchlover #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #itsalifestyle #wineenthusiast #whiskyadvocate #whiskylove #whiskylover #whiskylife #whiskylifestyle #whiskeylove #dramgoodlife #whiskygram #whiskycollector #whiskycollection #whiskytasting

An absolute must do event during the Spirit of Speyside is visiting Tamdhu Distillery. I've been here in previous years but always enjoy coming back for a tour. The team are amazing, I can't remember ever having laughed so much and having such fun on a tour anywhere! That's for another upcoming post though! It was also the perfect opportunity to sample and treat myself to this years Dalbeallie VII festival release 😇 As with all Tamdhu releases it's a real sherry monster and for that I love it! Coming in at a hefty 61.8% and limited to 1000 bottles it's definitely a dram to try if you get the chance!

📍𝐌𝐜𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐥'𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲 . We found ourselves in the wonderful city of Belfast and happened to be at a loose end after our plans fell through. But luckily, we were able to get onto a tour at @mcconnellsdistillery new setup on Crumlin Road - in the 'old jail'! . Now 1. I hadn't yet tried any @mcconnellsirishwhisky so had no idea what to expect and 2. I was slightly sceptical of how the tour may have been conducted in an old prison setting. I have (professionally btw 😅) visited several real-life/working prisons and wondered if they may have got it all wrong and almost a bit 'cheesey' like BUT, they had it all spot on 🙌🏻 . The tour was really insightful and the decor itself still replicated that of a 'jail' despite being converted into a full working distillery! The tasting room and bar is stunning and our tour guide Connor was great! Even the 'cell doors' and walking through the 'prison wing' were uncanny. Swipe ➡️ for photies. . The McConnell name had been around for years but closed it's distillery doors in 1930s due to the prohibition. Eleanor McConnell was however the legend here back in 1840s who saved the family name by continuing her husbands work after she became a widow! This distillery is keen to bring distilling back to Belfast and honour the McConnell name. You may have also noticed this Irish Whisky does not use the 'e' in its spelling 👀👀 . And now for the whisky! We got to try the 'McConnell's 5 year old' and the 'McConnell's Sherry Cask'... I definitely had a favourite and had to pick up a bottle 😍 Can you guess which one I went for? Tasting notes will follow on it's own wee square soon ♥️ . Have you visited a distillery in an unusual setting? Highly recommend a visit here 👍🏻 .

Oooooh, I've been trying to get my hands on a bottle of this since it's realease a few months ago, I loved its predecessor #alltgleann and this, as I'd hoped, does not disappoint! A gracious friend gave me a sample and it's sent my senses into the stratosphere. On first sniff I could have believed it was a solid islay expression with its deep velvety pettiness but its body gives the game away with that characteristic Skye signature @torabhaig_distillery flavour, the oloroso influence is front and foremost with cinnamon spices swiftly followed by fleshy dried fruits from its time in PX casks. Delicious! Who wants to buy me a whole bottle?! ... let me know below 😉😋🤪 (Image of the bottle is borrowed from torabhaig's socials) #torabhaigwhisky #torabhaigdistillery #cnocnamoine #torabhaig #isleofskye #singlemaltwhisky #scotchwhisky #peatedwhisky #whiskylife #whiskygram

Cracked this @tipplesmcr @bunnahabhain 1989 25yo 44% bottled for @boisdale_restaurants in 2015. Cork in decent nick, see below pics for labels. Tasting notes below 🥃 Nose is juicy tropical fruit; peaches, apricots, guava with fleshy grapefruit, spearmint and gentle peat smoke. Palate continues the fruit, initially light, then it has a chilli kick, mint leafs with rolling tobacco developing, then more tropical fruit & gentle smoke. Both dry and juicy in equal measure. Tobacco, vanilla and tropical fruit continues for a long time after you've sipped #whisky #WhiskyTasting #islaywhisky #singlemalt #ainglemaltwhisky #whiskygram

Cadenhead Staoisha 9yo red wine finish. Peated Bunna and wine is one of those great combinations. This one is fairly young, and with 3 years in the wine cask is more second maturation than finish. Bring it on. Thick, chewy smoke, then a wave of blackberry, cola bottles, cola cubes, soot and ash, rhubarb, welly boots, burnt toffee, treacle, vimpto and bitter coffee. There is a lot of wine influence here, but that peated 58.0% ABV Bunnahabhain spirit smacks it back into line. A bold, berry, peaty, salty, earthy, dram. Lovely stuff. This was from the Autumn 2023 outturn, but I think will work a treat as a firepit dram this summer 😋 Slàinte mhath 🥃!

Tonight's double dram tasting will be from @glengariochmalt distillery. Glen Garioch ("Glen Gee-ree or Geery", as it's known locally in the Doric dialect of Aberdeenshire) is a distillery that produces some of my favourite liquid and tonight I have two bottles that I was treated to at Christmas time. - Founders reserve 1797, no age statement, 48% Abv. Is a bottle of sweetness... if you've read a few of my posts you'll start to see a trend with my palette and choices. Vanilla, butterscotch and fresh green fruits. Buttercream and citrus as it says for the tasting notes. I love the fresh fruits but it's the long finish of amber warmth, Vanilla and butterscotch that makes this a go-to-dram. - 12 Year old, 48% Abv. Again, sweet goodness with more oakyness shining through. Bourbon and Sherry casks have been married together to give you flavours of fresh heather, rich poached pear and sweet malt barley. Crème brulee is one of my favourite tasting notes ever! A long finish is very much appreciated. I love these bottles. Trying them side by side is a wonderful way to see what Glen Garioch distillery is doing. These bottles have been a constant of Glen Garioch's range and I'm very happy about that. Another week of sipping on good whisky while listening to the blether with Mike and Cat from @inveruriewhisky shop. Thanks folks! Slainté Mhath! 🥃 @glengariochmalt @the_distillery_cat #glengariochdistillery #foundersreserve #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #scottishwhisky #scotch #scotchwhisky #tasting #whiskytasting #degustation #whiskydegustation #whiskygram

Review #288 - SMWS 44.152 'Polly Put the Kettle On' - Craigellachie 9 Year A Craigellachie single cask, with a 2012 vintage, from Speyside - it's an unusual cask from the distillery, as well, as it sees no sherry maturation or finishing. Instead, this was matured in a second fill bourbon cask, and then bottled at only 9 years old, so there's a chance this will still be quite spirity. Then again, that's the sort of bottling that allows us to dive into the real character of a distillery. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society has bottled over 150 casks now from Craigellachie, or distillery #44; the place is known for its use of worm tub condensers, which can add an oily, umami character to the spirit. Because this bottle is presented at a cask strength of 59.2%, and it's not chill filtered, we should have a great chance to find nuances like that. Nose: Strong and spirity - dry at first, with oak and a soft wood smoke. There's a vegetal, funky character to the spirit as well, slightly earthy at times, maybe some petrichor involved. Apple and white peach, along with vanilla, adds a slightly sweeter side; hints of honey and brown sugar can be found later. There is just a little savory scent lingering in the background. Palate: Oily, but also dry - dusty oak, sawdust, hints of sour malt, and white pepper to start. Fruit arrives in the form of dry peach, a bit sharp, and there's some baking notes of clove, nutmeg, vanilla, and caramel popcorn. It's quite warm and spirity. Finish: Warm, and full of baking spice. Vanilla, burnt caramel, and various brown baking spices are here, along with mild oak and some wood sugars. Applesauce, sour malt, and tannins are accent flavors and sensations in the aftertaste.
