Scotland’s Whisky Regions
Speyside, one of the Highlands’ key subregions, is known for its fertile glens and wide selection of single malt whiskies – particularly sweet-honeyed varieties like Glenlivet, Glenfiddich and The Macallan which can often be found there. Campbeltown lies to the west on Kintyre’s foot, in a deep bay. While only three distilleries remain now, Campbeltown […]

Highland Park 21 Year Review
Originally launched in 2007 for travel retail, Highland Park 21-year-old grew quite popular, but unfortunately it also faded rather quickly as stocks became depleted. There was a point when the proof was lowered from 47.5 percent down to 40 percent before it disappeared from store shelves completely. Luckily for us all it returned in 2012 […]
Highland Park 18 Year Review
Moving on with yet another sherried whisky, only this time we’re headed back up to the island of Orkney and the most northern distillery in Scotland, one of my personal favorites, Highland Park. I actually have two Highland Park’s on the tasting block this weekend; the 18-year-old and the 47.5 percent 21-year-old. This is going […]
Wemyss Malts Peat Chimney 8 Year Review
While Blended Scotch continues to be the “bread & butter” of the Scotch whisky industry, Blended Malts, or “Vatted Malts” as they were once referred, continue to rise in popularity alongside Single Malt Scotch. This is for good reason, as Blended Malts are exactly that; a blend of single malt whiskies – no grain whisky […]
Celebrating Repeal Day: Belle Meade Bourbon Review
Repeal Day is the celebration of the repeal of prohibition on December 5, 1933. Prohibition, also known as the “noble experiment,” was the government’s attempt to outlaw the production, sale and shipment of alcohol and intoxicating beverages across the country. It spanned 13 years (1920-1933) and was a rough and dark time for many reasons. […]
Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15 Year Review
Although I have a nice little lineup of single malts to dive into, in light of it being Repeal Week (Repeal Day is Thursday, December 5) I thought I’d continue on with just a couple more Bourbons. First up is a whisky that really needs no introduction, the younger sibling to the famous 20-year-old, Pappy […]
Crown Royal Maple Finished Review
Known most famously for its purple bags, Crown Royal is the number one selling Canadian whisky in the world and the sixth largest spirits brand in the United States. Now owned by Diageo, the Crown Royal distillery was founded in 1939 and is located in Gimli, Manitoba – just north of Winnipeg. It wasn’t in […]
Old Pulteney 12 Year Review
While there are plenty of single malts on the market today that are pushing the envelope in terms of price point, even when it comes to entry-level malts, there are still those that continue to surprise us in regards to flavor but more importantly in regards to price point. Old Pulteney 12-year-old is simply one […]
The Dalmore King Alexander III Review
Established in 1839, The Dalmore distillery is located in the Scottish Highlands on the northern shores of the Firth of Cromarty. For nearly a century the distillery was owned by the Clan Mackenzie, whose influence is now seen on every bottle of The Dalmore – Taken from the Mackenzie family crest, each bottle of The […]
