Whisky Whiskey

GlenAllachie are renowned for their Sherry Bomb scotches so I just had to try some of their offerings, starting with their 12 Year Single Malt. I also breifly touch on the modern history of GlenAllachie and how Billy Walker used the proceeds from his BenRiach departure and sale of Glendronach to buy into this fledgling Distillery, and then transform it into a formidable Distiller of Single Malts in only a very short period of time.

My exploration of Tamdhu concludes with a review of their 15 Year Single Malt. Renowned as a Sherry Bomb to rival Glendronach and Macallan, I test that reputation. I also dive into Saladin Boxes for malting, and the reinvention of Tamdhu as a Single Malt brand, tracing the history of the 15 Year offering. Does this make me smile? Hell yes it does…and then some.

Having heard that Tamdhu were known for their Sherried Scotches and being a fan of this type of Whisky, I had to grab a three pack of samples to try. The first one to review is their 12 Year Single Malt offering, but without anything definitive on whether it was Chill-Filtered I set up my own, rather rudimentary experiment to try and determine if it was Chill-Filtered before I opened the sample bottle. What did I learn? It might surprise you…but more than likely not…

AOB are a small Distillery in Mullumbimby in Northern NSW, only a 2.5 hour drive from where I live. I’d never heard of them before until I tried this sample from an Advent Calendar I picked up last year. Their Single Malt Ausskey was matured in a Pinot Noir cask and the result left me wanting more.
