Today’s pairing began with long and agonizing research into picking a perfect partner for the Johnnie Walker Green Label, which I got as the next surprise dram from my advent calendar (I’m almost done with it!). I wouldn’t have picked Johnnie Walker as another whisky to taste in this round, but that’s the fun part […]
Welcome to another entry in my journey of comparing two whiskies side by side and picking a favourite. Hopefully, we’ll also learn something along the way. So if you like this, stick around for other writeups! I’m secretly patting myself on the back once again for pairing up these two whiskies. Today I am comparing […]
This is going to be another fine pairing. Mostly because followers of The Macallan are also big fans of the GlenDronach. These distilleries are from the same region [although the GlenDronach has been re-classified as a Highland whisky] and produce a fantastic single malt pretty much in the same style. Although The Macallan has seriously […]
Well, it’s the end of 2021, and although the world is out there celebrating “something”, inside it’s just another night, which will roll into a new day, and so on, till our home remains within the orbit. So instead of doomsday thoughts, I choose to focus on the whisky. For this round, I select two […]
I got a bit over-excited about the Berry Bros. & Rudd dram appearing in my tasting journey. I’m a big fan of this oldest wine and spirit merchant from London and consider myself very lucky that I can simply walk over to the shop. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and I always find myself […]
I’m pretty excited about today’s pairing. First of all, because it’s from one of my only recently discovered and immediately newly favourite distilleries, and second, because I get to compare an entry-level distillery bottling against an independent, albeit a much older single cask whisky. It already sounds like the 22-year-old will win this round, but […]
I open up the next surprise hiding behind door number nine of this year’s advent calendar [from Drinks by the Dram], and it’s a 30ml bottle of Crabbie’s Yardhead single malt. I have never heard of this label, so I immediately look it up and find that Tesco is selling it for £22, while Amazon […]
I’ve been going back and forth on whether I’m happy with the offering from the advent calendar showcasing Scotch whisky. On one side, I am not that impressed with the overall quality of drams [but I get what I’ve paid for]. On the other, I am happy to be introduced to a variety of distilleries, […]
Welcome to another entry in my journey of comparing two whiskies side by side and picking a favourite. Hopefully, we’ll also learn something along the way. So, if you like this, stick around and subscribe! The next dram from the Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar of this year [number 7, I think] is the Johnnie Walker […]
No journey is complete without visiting the Valley of the Deer. I’ve stopped by the Glenfiddich distillery this past July, and [even during this lockdown] received a welcoming tour [although it was mostly via a “visitor’s centre”]. Nevertheless, I’ve learned a few things, including the different processes of maturation for their 12, 15, and 18 […]
