The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
When you think of heavily peated Islay single malt, you often think of the distilleries on Islay’s South coast. However, since a few years another distillery on the island set out to challenge the familiar names in the peated malt business. Bruichladdich, a traditionally none peated single malt, also has a line of heavily peated […]
Well, sure this single malt is not exactly new to the market. Nevertheless, because of its price and exclusively ageing in sherry casks, this dram is well worth reviewing. On top of that, I am also a big Glenfarclas fan, but enough introduction, let us start!
Obviously, I am always delighted to try a new whisky! This time the small bottled of Scotch Malt Whisky Society Single Malt was provided by Freddy another blogger from Singlemaltwhiskey.org. The malt in question comes from the Highland Park Distillery and of course I was very curious to try it.
Believe it or not, but this cocktail actually was inspired by a cold remedy. When my sister gave me a cough drop, I noticed that rough Icelandic / Islay notes go very well with sweet cassis flavours. Luckily, with the latest Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition (DE), I had just the right single malt on hand! Of […]

I know, the spirits I am presenting to you this time are not really new. Still, they are worth taking a closer look! Also I want to show you that there are other great spirits to discover besides gin. In this case, we are going to talk about Clairin, a type of rhum agricole from Haiti, […]
Despite the theme for this month is cognac, there again are so many new gins out there that I cannot help myself, but share my tasting notes with you. This time it is all about gin from just one distillery. However, do not be disappointed, with Eden.Mill every gin lover out there will find a […]
In this series I am providing you with tasting notes of spirits that had a lasting impression on me, yet I did not get around to create a drink with them. So, this Spirited News is all about rye and a little bit of gin. Yet, we are not talking about rye whiskey here. Instead […]
