Talisker 10, salt, peat and some spicy fruits. Yum. Although the tastebuds are somewhat dulled from the rather excellent red Sancerre I enjoyed with dinner. Oh and the real ales before that. Why is de ...

Picked up an Old Paultney 12 in tescos earlier for Â£22

I quite like the saltyness without a shit load of peat, gives you a different perspective on the salt flavours when they're not being coun ...

Time to educate myself on the various types of brandy next so I can rejig those. It's a hard job sometimes.

I find brandy a much less complex proposition than whisky, probably because there's no ...

Thankfully I'm not in every day so relying on my knowledge isn't going to cut it. And unfortuantly trying to instill a passion for whisky in ...

Haha, you've talked me out of it. I'm just a sucker for anything slightly limited edition at a decent price. Also interested to see how much more flavour not chill filtering leaves in.
