Some whiskies can be said to have a ‘coastal’ or ‘maritime’ character, and invariably, these are also whiskies that I absolutely love. In fact, these seaside malts are the reason…
Well this one’s been teed up perfectly really following last week’s post on The Glenlivet, and specifically how they’re catching the Glenfiddich in terms of sales whilst placing emphasise on…
On Tuesday evening I found myself the nearest thing to a corner possible at a curvy and buzzing Magazine Restaurant in Kensington Gardens on a cold, rainy November night. Here…
Greetings traveller, In today’s Tales From The Isle I’d planned to bring you the story of the devil’s final visit to Bowmore in some detail, but an action-packed day at…
We’ve made it to Islay! In fact, we’ve been here since Thursday (quite keen) but it hasn’t all been plain sailing. Alexandra and I actually missed our ferry, which, as…

Last night played host to one of the biggest events in the whisky calendar: the launch of the Diageo Special Releases. This annually released selection showcases the very best whiskies…
