2020 Unplugged: Our Top Ten Whiskies Of The Year

January 6, 2021February 25, 2021Leave a comment

I don’t think that much more can be said about what a weird year 2020 was.

Tasting Notes: Ardbeg – Blaaack

Tasting Notes: Douglas Laing – Big Peat

April 17, 2019June 1, 20192 Comments

Tasting Notes: Compass Box – No Name

September 11, 2018September 10, 20181 Comment

As with all Compass Box whiskies, the name of the game here is quality and transparency, even if the name of the whisky itself is "No Name".

Shining bright in my kitchen this week. Enjoying this drop - well worth the punt
The chunky stopper that comes between me and some @bladnochwhisky 10yo. Love the details that have gone into every part of the packaging as well as the whisky itself
Have been really enjoying this bottle since Spring finally sprung. Good malt to go with the season. Fantastic bold @bladnochwhisky bottle and branding too. Am a bit in love.
