Review of my whisky year - 2019

First of all thank you to all the people who have read my blog (c48,000 up from 29,000 last year) and followed me on Twitter (c2,600 up from 1,700 last year).

My highlights of 2019 were:

The Whisky Works @TweetTastings

 James Whyte and Charles Mackay founded their company in 1844, on the banks of the River Clyde, they experimented with blending whisky as an alternative to the Cognac which was popular at the time. Today, as well as the Whyte & Mackay, John Barr and Claymore blends, they own single malt brands Dalmore, Fettercairn, Invergordon, Isle of Jura and Tamnavulin.

Experimentation is still at the heart of what they do and a recent addition to the portfolio is The Whisky Works brand, a boutique blending and bottling house, run as an independent arm. They release small batches of experimentally matured or blended whiskies.
