Brave New Spirits - The WhiskyHeroes

Indie bottler Brave New Spirits @BNS_Whisky keep coming out with new releases!

Here's my thoughts on two recent ones from the new WhiskyHeroes series!

Loch Lomond Distillery Edition Six

Just as the Summer ends @LochLomondMalts released the sixth in their Distillery Edition series going back to a similar MO as DE2 - a Single Distillery Blend

This time a little older and unpeated!

Glen Scotia The Dragon

@GlenScotiaMalts have just released the second in their series based on the town's famous Cross - Icons of Campbeltown.

Last year it was The Mermaid, this year is all about The Dragon, let's find out a little more!

Side by Side : A Trio of Man With The Hat Releases

@SouthportWhisky club founder Victor Porter @onekv regularly releases Indie bottles with his own distinct labels designed by the maestro @jwbassman_.

But I think @uk_whisky Peter Hunt from the club chose the latest 3 single cask  releases and sent me samples to try!

Side by side : Three new Banditti Club Rums from Glasgow Distillery

Most of you will know I'm not a huge fan of rum cask finished whiskies - I always find them too sweet. Callum likes to wind me up about it!

But my son does like rum, so here's my our review of Glasgow Distillery's three newest releases!

Spey's new Trilogia

I've not reviewed a whisky from @SpeySingleMalt for ages, let's put that right with their new Trilogia

Each September I complete a survey, recording the prices of a distillery's key bottle - the standard bottle which you might buy if wanting to get into a new distillery.

Whisky Prices 2024 - 18yos

Each September I complete a survey, recording the prices of a distillery's 18yo - a standard bottle which you might buy for a special occasion like a birthday.
