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.

#BTC28 #BlindDrams Tasting Notes

 These are my tasting notes from the Blind Tasting Consortium's 28th #BlindDrams evening.

These drams were picked by Brian @MaltMusings

Side by side : Paul John Select Casks

Following on from my Oloroso & PX review of Paul John here, I've now written a comparison of their two Select Casks.

A pair of unpeated and peated drams at just over 55% ABV

Side by side : Morris from Australia

Morris Whisky Distillery from Australia anyone? No I'd never heard of them either!. I first tried their whisky at the Kendal Whisky Festival in December '22
