Scotch Whisky reviews

The distillery, founded in 1826, takes her name from the Ben Rinnes, a mountain of 840 meters height. But in the Great Speyside Floods of 1829 it was washed away, so had to be rebuilt completely. The…

I realized I never posted a review of this whisky despite the fact that next to JW Black it's probably the whisky I've had the most of as it was my brother's house whisky for many years. This is aged for…

I had not tried this one in a couple of years, I think everyone is familiar with the Distiller's Edition so no need for extra blab.Nose: Mossy peat, lanolin, Vick's vaporub, coal fire and menthol. The…
