TBWC Advent Calendar 2021 - Dram reviews

Those great people at @MasterofMalt sent me an Advent Calendar for the run up to Christmas! For the whisky fans amongst us this makes much more sense than a chocolate one!

Now the idea with an Advent Calendar is that you open 1 door each day from the 1st December through to Christmas Eve... But please enjoy your whisky responsibly! Sometimes it may not possible to open a dram each day, you could share with mates or save a couple to enjoy at the weekend?

The Octave Project

I've tried a few Octave releases before but this is the first time I've tried them as an experiment. 

This A.D. Rattray set of 5 x 30ml bottles of 2007 Pulteney whisky, has been sitting on my shelf for a few years now so I decided to open it and try them.

Side by side : Caol Ila Palo Cortado from James Eadie

Palo Cortado has been building a reputation over the last year or so as the 'new' thing in sherry cask matured or finished whisky.

In this blog I'll be looking at two Caol Ila's finished in Palo Cortado casks.

Side by side: Cotswolds Mega Tasting

@Cotswoldistill is one of the largest distilleries in England, they've been going since 2014 and keep adding to their 'core' range with full maturation high ABV releases.

Here I'll try ten examples!

Core Range: BenRiach
