And Tonight’s Dram is Aberlour

Whisky

Being a snooty sort of guy, and living in the proper Highlands, I’ve tended to look down on the Speyside malt whiskies.Glenmorangie is closest to where we live, Clynleish is just up the road, and Dalmore not 20 miles away. In the circumstances who would want to drink something from Speyside? Well it seems I’m [...]

Tonights Dram is Glen Moray

Whisky
Thumbnail image for Tonights Dram is Glen Moray

Scottish Malt Whisky is my choice of cocktail, naturally enough. Up here it’s impolite to drink anything else. Glen Moray wouldn’t rank on my favourite malt whisky list, until it comes to price that is but tonight it’s my choice. To be fair this is a very quaffable malt whisky, with a softer, more rounded [...]

And Tonight’s Dram is Old Pulteney

Taste of Scotland

Image via Wikipedia Old Pulteney is a Highland single malt whisky, and its also my choice for tonight’s dram. Every evening before dinner I’ll enjoy a glass on single malt whisky during my cocktail hour. That’s 7.00 till 8.00 in this part of the world. To my mind there’s no such thing as a poor [...]

Views of Brora

Brora

Brora is pretty far north, and in Highlands terms also quite big.  At one time most of the coal for this part of the country came into  what was a busy harbour.

Single Malt Whisky Made in the Highlands

Whisky

Today I won’t drink even a blended scotch- I cant stand the taste. Here’s a link to what’s probably the site with the most [...]

And Tonight the Dram is Jura

Whisky

Sorry, but I just can’t help being cheap.  Maybe I’ve lived in Scotland too long. But this is a recession, right. The local store runs a special every month on single malts.  I’m happy to report the special today is Jura. This isn’t an Islay malt as we might expect from an island off the [...]

Is the Brora Malt the King of Whiskys

Whisky

The Brora Malt is the King of Whisky, in my book at least, but do you agree? Unfortunately it’s very old, awfully expensive, and there’s limited supply but the folks at Clynelish distillery in Brora tells they won’t run out any time soon. To save me writing the story I’ve cheated and copied this from [...]

And Tonight’s Malt Is Clynelish

Whisky

The Clynelish 14 year old single malt was a real find in the liquor store. We rarely see it outside of the distillery. Even better was they had it on special so it was cheap too. Slainte! This is really unusual, for anywhere really, but especially for the south of England. I just came across [...]
