  • I missed our last whisky club because I had Covid (held quarterly at Water into Beer in Brockley, all welcome, just bring a bottle). So they took little drams of all the whiskies and dropped them off which is one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me. It's blind but I have their tasting notes to go on, so far I've had 3 and got 1 correct.

  • Some great malts there, Arbelour is one of my favourites, I had a four day trip to Scotland with one of my daughters last month, I squeezed in two tasting sessions and a distillery Tour, the latter at the Glengoyne Distillery which was excellent.

    I can recommend the Whisky Experience on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, just a few yards from the Castle, they have a fantastic collection of 3500 bottles and the bar has circa 300 available to try. I treated myself to a few bottles while I was there, a Highland AnCnoc 12 year old and Lowland Auchentoshan American Oak which is beautifully smooth.

    We also for our sins went in to the Johnny Walker Experience place on Princes Street, I have never been a fan of their blends but we visited to see the other Whiskies on sale and to try the roof top restaurant, killing time we did their own tasting experience, during which we got to try their seasonal Winter Blend which I discovered had three of my favourite malts in the blend, namely Caol Isla, Cardhu & Glenkinchie, it was so good I nabbed a bottle of that too so I have plenty to be getting on with, especially as my other daughters bought me a 16 year old Lagavulin for Christmas as well :)
