Timorous Beastie (46.8%) is what we call a vatted malt, basically it’s a luxury blend of single malts from different distilleries of quality. It comes from the excellent independent bottler Douglas Laing (you will read more about him here, believe me, you’ll only ask for that). The “purists” that pretend that the single malt is the only real good whisky will have to accept the idea that today (and for some years in fact) some people make very (very) good blends.
Another famous distillery, among my favorites, Highland Park! People who moderatly appreciate peat should find their account with this whisky which is just moderatly peated. This Highland Park 18yo is a classic.
It has to start with a first review and it was obvious to me to start with the first bottle of “real” whisky that I bought (with a gift certificate, thank you Audrey :D), the Aberlour 10yo.
If you’re here, reading this whisky blog, that’s because you love whisky, and just for that, I already like you. That’s cool cause i like it too! “Yeah dude, otherwise you would not have done this blog” – Sure 😐 In the past, i didn’t like whisky … But one day a friend of mine (hi Luc!) suggest me a glas of whisky after a good meal, I decline politely saying “I don’t really like that” so he asked me “Ok but … Have you ever drunk a really good whisky?”. And then everything changed, to the delight of my partner (hi Audrey!), Or not … Rather not :p
