  1. A wee treat tonight.

    Ardnamurchan Tokaji finish, NC, NCF, 52%, distilled in 2018 and bottled in 2026.

    So much orchard fruit on the nose: bright green apple and pear, with hints of tropical banana and floral notes. Silky and rounded on the tongue, with stone fruit, sweet spice, a touch of saltiness and gentle oakiness. Lingering honey and peach, with a slightly peppery finish.

  2. Saturday night sipper.

    Cadenhead's Ardnamurchan 5, Oloroso Cask. NC, NCF, 58.1% ABV.

    Bags of red fruit and a touch of liquorice on the nose. Sweet, treacly mouth-coating, cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel. A slight savouriness.

    Young, vibrant and delicious. 🥰

  3. A weekend rammed with sport kicks off tonight with Scottish Championship Football, and tomorrow is 6 Nations Super Saturday, with all six teams playing and Scotland in with a shout of being tournament winners. Sunday and it's the Chinese Grand Prix.

    Need to ca' canny tonight as friends are around tomorrow to watch the rugby, and it will be a long day! So, a couple of wee ones.

    Cadenhead's Ardnamurchan 5, Oloroso Cask. NC, NCF, 58.1% ABV.

    Packed with red fruit: sweet cherries, strawberries and red currants, and a touch of earthy dunnage. Rich, thick, and mouth-coating, mulled wine with cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel. Jammy with a slight savouriness. Despite its youth, it has incredible complexity and depth.

  4. Just had a 39-year-old Longmorn bottled in 2012, and wow, just fantastic. It held up incredibly well.

  5. Currently enjoying a glass of White Horse, my favourite blended Scotch, and trying not to feel too down in the mouth about the world in general and my own problems.

  6. Advent Dram #23

    Cadenhead's Ardnamurchan 5, NC, NCF, 58.1% ABV

    Wonderful sweet cherries, strawberries, red currants, and a touch of earthy dunnage. Rich, thick, and mouth-coating, mulled wine with cinnamon, cloves, orange peel, and more dark fruit. Jammy with a slight savouriness. Despite its youth and high ABV, there is no alcohol burn. It is beautifully smooth and quaffable. The cask must have been really active, as the depth of flavour and complexity is astonishing.

    This is a real beauty.

  7. So ca. 1995 hatte ich eine Schwäche für #whisky und aus dieser Zeit sind mir ein paar Reste geblieben, die jede Übersiedlung mitgemacht haben und seither in jeder Wohnung Platz verstellen.

    Aber ich denk mir halt, dass ich irgendwann eine der Flaschen aufmachen werde und mich fühlen werde wie damals. #Nostalgie

    Heute habe ich es getan und ich muss sagen: ich mag schon den Geruch von Whisky nicht.

    Fühlt sich so #erwachsen werden an?

  8. Friday night fitba returns 😀

    Arbroath v Ayr in #scottishchampionship This should be a good game with newly promoted Arbroath taking on last year's championship hopefuls.

    I've just finished watching a great Podcast with Ardnamurchan's Carl Crafts, so for the first dram of the weekend it can only be one thing:

    AD 2014 CK233, unpeated, Concerto barley from Broomhall Farm, matured in ex-Oloroso, Spanish Oak, 53.4%. And thanks to Kelly and Holly for filling the bottle - I love the detailed information you get on a bottle of Ardnamurchan 😀

    Loads of red fruit on the nose: strawberries, raspberries and a touch of black cherry. Pencil shavings. More juicy red fruit on the palate with sticky raisins, liquorice and black treacle, sweet, cinnamon-spiced apple finish.

    Wonderful!

  9. I got a bottle of Dramfool’s 21-year-old Port Charlotte and it’s like the nectar of the gods. Smokey and sweet, the way I love ‘em. Can’t even think of the right words to describe it.

  12. After a busy day of family stuff, this is well deserved. Caol Ila 12 year old Distillers Edition and Vault City Gingerbread Latte imperial stout… very moreish indeed #whisky #islaywhisky #CaolIla #imperialstout #vaultcity #vaultcitybrewing

  13. It’s whisky night. Cracking open the new Jim McEwan Port Charlotte from Dramfool for the first time. Just the whiff from the bottle as I poured is heavenly.

  14. Just got in the new Dramfool Wolfburn whisky bottlings, trying the lightly peated one first. Holy hell what a dram. Sweet, spicy, smoky, all in perfect balance, just amazing.

  15. Just savoured an exuberant performance of The Marriage of Figaro: a very fine cast, music to swoon to, and a gorgeously whimsical Miró-inspired set.
    As always, the best part of the evening was the post-opera #whisky in my jammies. #Mozart would, I'm sure, approve.

  16. Three positive things for today:

    1. Home-made Chicken Tikka Masala for diner. 😋
    2. Started actual woodworking today. Made a bunch of sawdust, scraps, mistakes, and even roughed out a few parts. 🙂
    3. #Ardbeg 10 year old #Scotch #Whisky (#ScotchWhisky) 🥃

  17. A rare bottle of whisky has broken the record for the most expensive wine or spirit sold at auction.

    The Macallan 1926 single malt is one of the world's “most sought-after" bottles of Scotch whisky.

    It was sold by Sotheby's on Saturday at more than double its estimated price, for a record £2.1 million (€2.4 million).

  18. A bottle of what Sotheby’s is calling “the most sought-after Scotch whisky” is set to go up for auction next month, with an estimated price of up to €1.3 million.

    The auction house said the 96-year-old bottle of single malt from distiller Macallan - The Macallan Adami 1926 - will come under the hammer in London on 18 November.

  19. Tonight’s dram is an Inchgower 10 Year from Berry Bros. and Rudd. Wow, delicious! Vanilla and oak, and red fruit, with just a little of spice as it fades on the tongue, with a little bit of a tobacco finish.

    *Low budget #Opernreisen* 55,30€ (ICE HH-M-HH & Opernticket) haben ihren Charme.

    #Glenmorangie #Sauternes-Cask "Nectar d'Or" gefällt mir besser. #Whisky

  21. Torabhaig distillery on Skye. Their whiskies are coming along very nicely indeed. Well worth a visit - a little quicker to get to from the mainland if travelling by car than Talisker(!) - and the warmest welcome. We got a personal tour, they’ve only been going since 2017 and the way they’ve adapted the old farm buildings is ingenious and makes for an excellent tour.

    The whiskies on offer are tasty, too!

  22. Tried this for the first time in Gothenburg so when I found it here, just had to buy some. As someone who usually doesn’t like scotch whisky I’m getting a taste for the smoky, peaty flavours #caolila #caoliladistillery #whisky #peatwhisky #islaywhisky #islaydistillery

  23. My order of the latest Jim McEwan set from #DramFool arrived just in time to enjoy a little on my birthday. Poured myself some of the Octomore. YUM

  24. Always love WhiskyCast’s interviews, but this bit from Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s Pip Hills is an important part of my philosophy. Whisky is for sharing and enjoying.

  25. For #InternationalScotchDay I poured the second-to-last dram of this amazing Càrn Mòr Celebration of the Cask 24-year bottling of a Glen Moray barrel. Unbelievably delicious.

  26. Last summer we attended the weigh-in and party for Big Rock. Super fun, stupid money. Now I’m dreaming of warm summer skies and landing big fish! A bit under the weather, so treating myself with a medicinal Ardbeg Corryvrecken.

  27. #Whiskey, #Scotch, and #Bourbon in Jewish thought <3

    What are whiskeys made from? When are they considered #kosher? (Good news - most whiskey is considered kosher by Modern Orthodox & Conservative rabbis, all Reform rabbis, some Haredi rabbis)
