Glasgow lowland single malt with Cognac influence Glasgow Distillery is proudly located on what could well be the most ugly industrial estate in the city. The buildings themselves are not much to talk about as well. Industrious city whisky in the lowland region, without the charm of the beautiful Clydeside Distillery at the banks of the river,…

Great Northern Irish single malt whiskey tasting note The Great Northern Distillery is a whiskey made in Dundalk, north or Dublin, in Ireland. To me, this production facility has quietly been flying under the radar, so I had to do some research to share with you here. The GND is actually an operation you could…

The Glenturret Triple Wood tasting notes The Glenturret these days is owned by the Lalique Group since 2019 and it shows in the current presentation of the products.

The Gauldrons: Glen Scotia and a spoonful? We have to use the question mark, because for sure we do not know if the headline is true. We tasted The Gauldrons, a blended malt in the Regional Series. The series are released for some years now by Douglas Laing, and seem to be quite popular. They…

Forever blowing bubbles with Glen Garioch? Glen Garioch continues to be a bit of a blind spot for me. Like its sister distilleries Bowmore and Auchentoshan, the distillery suffered under a weird distilling regime in (predominantly) the eighties, causing a very soapy, lavender-like character in these malts. Maybe it is the Pavlov reaction to these…
