Gold
A veteran whisky lover. Who felt he must go and pay homage to nine or so distilleries in Islay...and guess what, this is exactly what we did, with good friends, in April 2012. Now with a taste for distilleries I visited Gavle in Sweden (Mackmyra) in May 2012, and also went to the pearl of the Orosund - the island of Hven, also in Sweden, just recently (Sept 2012). Tried many things there including Urania, Spirit of Hven.

Old Pulteney 21 Year old - Olde Smoothie
91
So, whisky of the year 2012. A bold claim and statement. First of all, available for £50 only in Glasgow - a steal (well, it is Glasgow after all). The whisky is certainly excellent. It is rich and very… read more
