Auchentoshan Distillery Visit

You'll find bottles of Auchentoshan in just about every supermarket, and you may have bought 1 or 2 when you started your whisky journey.

But at 40% it's unlikely you'd buy another, unless you visit the distillery!

#BTC60 #BlindDrams Tasting Notes

 These are my tasting notes and results from the Blind Tasting Consortium's 60th #BlindDrams evening.

These drams were picked by Mike @WhiskyWithMolly & Sam @WhiskyWithMolly

Claxton's 4yo Holyrood

This year's Kendal Whisky Festival was, as usual, a brilliant event, there were 3 or 4 drams that stood out for me. A trio after their brand ambassador called me over saying "Brian - I've something for you to try"

We've all heard this and the results aren't always good! For 3 drams in particular they were good and and I managed to get samples to try in a more relaxed atmosphere. The second was Claxton's 4yo Holyrood.

Henstone Red Range Batch 2

This year's Kendal Whisky Festival was, as usual, a brilliant event, there were 3 or 4 drams that stood out for me. A trio after their brand ambassador called me over saying "Brian - I've something for you to try"

We've all heard this and the results aren't always good! For 3 drams in particular they were good and and I managed to get samples to try in a more relaxed atmosphere. The first was Henstones' new Red Range bottling.
