Whisky Tasting 39: Teacher's Highland Cream from Scotland You so called single malt purists, please please please do not look down on blended whiskies. Many blended whiskies are wonderful everyday drinks (and a few belong to the aristocratic league) just like the French and Italians have their everyday wines or Chinese their everyday tea. Before the introduction of single malt, blended whiskies were the drinks of the choice and rightly so. Grain whiskies are made from corn/maize and distilled using the more effecient continuous stills and they are mainly distilled in and near Glasgow. Famous traditional blends are many such as Johnnie Walker, Famous Grouse, Stewart Cream of the Barley, J & B, Black & White, Teacher's...The teacher's has a volatile sweet grainy nose, old sherry wood and a hint of peat. The spirit while moderately complex, is friendly and easy to understand. Sweet corn and malt with a hint of smoke and peat. Very well balanced and revitalising. A superb all round sipping blend. (Rating 83-85 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.

Whisky Tasting 10: Lagavulin 16 Yr from Islay, Scotland Lagavulin is from Islay. A distinct island region renounced for producuing peaty whiskies. 4 distilleries especially produce whiskies BIG in peat: Laphroaig, Port Ellen (silent now!), Ardbeg (reopened) and Lagavulin followed by the medium peat distilleries Bowmore and Caol Ila then the least peaty Bruichladdich and Bunnahabhain. Lagavulin 16 is the flagship of this distillery. On the nose, sea breeze, sea mist, peat, sweet sherry, sweet maltiness, gun powder and smoke. Very complex nose! More of the above mixed in harmoniously with a velvety, full and round body. The finish is powerful and long with sustained peat and dark chocolate. The single malt is heavenly scoring extra points on complexity. Not a style for the faint hearted and can be a shock to the system! Just a note, I often serve a good malt whisky (or two or three!) rather than dessert wines after dinner. Is this an after dinner malt? Yes but for me an all day 24 hours malt! Yahoo!

Officially the world's best whisky - meet the Whyte and Mackay 30 year old whisky As states Richard Paterson has always said its one of the best whiskies in the world and now others agree with him. The Whyte and Mackay 30 year old has won two of the most prestigious whisky awards in the world. We won the Best Blended Whisky at the International Spirits Challenge tonight. But thats not the only win for it. On the 26th of November we will also be receiving the William Grant Independence Trophy for Best Blended Scotch Whisky. To me , this is a fantastic validation of what we do and its a praise for every single person involved in making the whisky, in selling it and spreading the word of of it. In a period when weve announced a new Jura, some charity whiskies and other expressions to Dalmore including Sirius as well as seeing high praise for the Dalmore, this is what touches me the most because its recognition by your peers and by the experts of something that is truly special, of something with quality and thats praise to every person who worked on the drink. This isnt about me, its about everyone who put a little bit of themselves into making this whisky the success that it is. For their time, their efforts and their work, I thank them all. And the marketing guys wont be chuffed, but to hell with that, its a special night lets celebrate by providing a sneak peek from the upcoming podcasts where I talk about the Whyte and Mackay 30 year old - the worlds best blended whisky. OFFICIAL. SLAINTE!

Whisky Tasting 12: Macallan 18 Yr Fine Oak Fr Speyside, Scot The name Macallan is legendary. It is sometimes called the 'Rolls Royce of all whiskies'. Famous for it's sumptious Spanish dry Oloroso sherry cask finish style. The house has perhaps more versions of it's malt than anyone else. Macallan is from the heart of Speyside. It's uncompromising style is being duplicated by others but seldom matches its calibre. The 18 years old Fine Oak is a relatively new offering along with the Elegancia series. Both were introdcued because of a shortage of these rare Spanish Oloroso Oak casks and a hugh demand for it's style. The colour is bronze. On the nose, honey, sherry, malt, buttered pop corn, caramel toffee and buttered nuts all emerge but with a feel of volatile alcohol. The body is medium and soft. Again, honey, sherry and spicy christmas pudding characters came through. Neither too heavy nor too light. However, when compare to the original 18 this is but a shadow of the big brother with lighter colour, a leaner body and overall less complexity. The finish is long with a lingering fruity note.
