    One of my good friends and I had recently went out to a couple of different whisky bars/restaurants here in Perth. It'd been an odd coincidence considering that he'd been discussing a couple of new r… read more

    Pale amber colour. The aroma is rich, peaty and aromatic. Iodine, oak and a bracing brininess as well. Intense charriness and a touch of soft fruit and wood that just underlie the rich peat. This is i… read more

    I've been looking forward to trying this Drinks by the Dram bottle from Master of Malt which I picked up, and having found my recent tastings bereft of peat I figured why not try to redress the balance… read more
