Tasting Notes: Wolfburn – Northland

To operate a distillery that carries the name of the region therefore has a high bar to reach. The Speyside Distillery (as … Continue reading Tasting Notes: Spey – Royal Choice

Tasting Notes: Ardbeg – Blaaack

If you’re a peat-head then you know Ardbeg. If you’re an Ardbeg fan (Ardbeggian?) then you know Ardbeg Day. Since 2001, the Ileachs have celebrated their wares as part of the Islay festival, and since 2011 a special release has been made to mark that day.

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.
