A.D. Rattray @TweetTastings

@ADRattrayWhisky Whisky celebrated the release of their 65th Cask Collection with a @TweetTastings with @TheWhiskyWire

I was lucky enough to be picked - here's my thoughts and those of a few friends!

Batches : Torabhaig releases

Distilleries often release whisky in batches, the same name but subtly different recipes, ABVs, maturation periods etc. In this new, occasional series, I'm going to review a number of different Batches in my Side-by-side format to see if I can detect any differences, does each batch get better or are they to all intents and purposes the same?

This time I'll be reviewing the first two releases from Torabhaig's Legacy Series.

Batches : Raasay releases

Distilleries often release whisky in batches, the same name but subtly different recipes, ABVs, maturation periods etc. In this, occasional series, I'm going to review a number of different Batches in my Side-by-side format to see if I can detect any differences, does each batch get better or are they to all intents and purposes the same?

This time I'll be reviewing batches R-01 and R-02 from Raasay.

Lakes Distillery WhiskyMaker's Editions - Bal Masque

The fourth release of the @LakesDistillery Whiskymaker's Editions series is Bal Masque.

Following on from Miramar it's a non-sherry bottling, let see what it's like...

Mackmyra Seasonal Releases - Stjärnrök

Swedish distillery @Mackmyra release two annual Säsongswhisky 'seasonal' whiskies usually featuring innovative seasonal characteristics focusing on unusual finishes often reflecting the prevailing season.

I've tried a number of them and they are often unusual. This season's release, linked with Wintertime, is Stjärnrök, let's see what it's like...

Side by side : A GlenAllachie flight

Sometimes you connect with a distillery and sometimes you don't @TheGlenAllachie is one of the latter for me.

Sample swaps, over the last few months, have delivered a number of their drams so let's try them side by side.

Whisky from...? Denmark

Our latest in the Whisky from...? series comes from Denmark and the @mdbp Braunstein distillery.

It is a Danish micro distillery and brewery located in the small town of Køge, not far from Copenhagen

Douglas Laing @TweetTasting

@DLaingWhisky Old Particular range features single cask malts and grains at a minimum of 6yo and 48.4%. 

A recent @TweetTastings took us through 4 of their latest releases.

Side by side : An indie Caol Ila flight

The Caol Ila distillery is a huge whisky factory on Islay producing single malts for bottling and for use in Diageo's blends.

Known for it's maritime peat Caol Ila is often 'finished' by Indie bottlers, here I'll try five.
