Side by side: A pair of Loch Lomond Swan Neck finishes

@LochLomondMalts single casks bottlings are quite difficult to find, especially in the UK, last year I think we've seen less than five. Thanks to a mate in Germany I've managed to get my hands on another two!

Loch Lomond Swan Neck distilled single casks are even rarer - both of these are Swan Neck Pot Still distillations!

#BTC29 #BlindDrams tasting Notes

These are my tasting notes from the Blind Tasting Consortium's 29th #BlindDrams evening.

These drams were picked by Paul @pswhisky

Side by side: Fettercairn's Warehouse 2 Batches

Over the last couple of years @FettercairnWh have been releasing bottlings labelled as "Warehouse 2" - a selection of small batches featuring interesting combinations of the casks matured within its walls.

Let's try them!

Virtual tasting: Fib Whisky with NEWAS

The North East Whisky Appreciate Society @eastwhisky is a great little group based in the north east of England who organise regular virtual tastings, this one featured @fibwhisky

The tasting was hosted by @Iain_Mundy and @Fib_Aedan from Fib.

The Whisky Cellar @TweetTastings

@whisky_cellar shared some of their recent bottlings with us in a @TweetTastings.

Here's my thoughts and those of a few friends!

Side by side: Willowbank from New Zealand

 A chance to try four 20+ yo drams from a long closed distillery is always good!

These were a little different as they were from New Zealand!

Side by side: a pair of indie North British Sherry Bombs

@thenorthbritish distillery is one of Scotland's oldest and largest Scotch grain whisky producers.

Here I've got two indie bottlings, both matured in sherry casks, to try!

Side by side: A pair of Tawny Ports from Glen Scotia

I love Tawny Port matured whisky and I love @GlenScotiaMalts - I'm in heaven!

I'm comparing two bottlings here, both unpeated.

Tullibardine The Murray - Triple Port

We all know how I love Port cask finished whisky (as opposed to full port cask matured whisky) and what better than a triple port cask matured whisky?

Let's try @Tullidistillery's latest in The Marquess Collection.

Whisky from...? Romania

Alexandrion Group is Romania’s largest producer and distributor of alcoholic beverages, they have just released their first single malt whisky range @CarpathianMalt in their home market.

It's also the first ever produced in Romania.
