I started drinking whisky when a bottle was bought for me in 2006, started off small and have since worked my way up through to the quality malts and blends. Love going to Whisky shows with a couple of my close mates, and havent really found a whisky I wouldnt drink again!

I'm hoping that this site will allow me to meet like-minded individuals who enjoy the good stuff as much as I do!

I warn you now, my reviews are very basic, I'm afraid I dont go into too much detail with characteristics and proper tasting notes, but I feel they get the point across!

Hey dude, really great to see you too at Pure! Wish I could have been there to help the team out more, but was very enjoyable savouring some whiskies together on the sunday! Hope to see you soon at the next event (probably TWE whisky show I'd imagine), in the meantime will definitely get my ass into gear and start putting up some more reviews again! Take care, O

    @ClaretNBlues Agree on the Jura, should be picking up a bottle next week thanks to a winning bet at work :-)

    @ClaretNBlues Good choices! I got a bottle of BenRiach, 15yr single malt finished in Madeira casks :-)

    It was down to a bit of luck (and poor football) that led me to this bottle. A bet at work with a Liverpool fan (easily won by me) meant that he had to buy me a bottle of whisky. There i was expecting … read more

  • An Cnoc 16 Year old - How Do I Pronounce This Again?

    An Cnoc has to be pronounced with a couple of silent letters, I remember being told that at Pure Festival last year and it does highlight this on the bottle too, however now I’ve typed that I realise that… read more

    I saw this whisky as a bit of a random purchase really, I like the standard Auchentoshan malts and thought I should take a punt on the Valinch due to its name really! It’s a very light yellowy-brown … read more

    Sherried whiskies can be an acquired taste I suppose, and at times I think it can be limited to the less wider-known malts. However Glenmorangie have the Lasanta, which is easily obtainable at a pretty… read more

    The Peat Monster was the final one in the mini tasting session, and it rounded off the evening nicely! It was very pale, looking quite young and light. On the nose i found it a struggle to get past the… read more
