After being encouraged to try Rye Whiskies in the past, and was yet to find a Rye that I actually liked…I was nervous about trying this particular offering from High West, when I found it in my samples I got as a Christmas present from my oldest Sister and her family. Sometimes you have to try something new and oh, my goodness…did I just find the first Rye Whiskey I actually love? Let’s see…

With John Chidgey.

Whilst this offering from Scapegrace did not come from their new Distillery, I talk about their new location almost on the 45th parallel in the Otago Highlands of the South Island of New Zealand as well as review this interesting dram…

When I got this sample for Christmas as a present from my siter and her family, I have to admit I was drawn to this one. Arran have proven to be a popular, relative newcomer, to the Scotch Whisky scene and set up on the Isle of Arran, this particular offering is the fourth and final in their Explorer series. It’s a delightful dram, that’s for sure.

Having previously reviewed the Penderyn Celt and also tried the Myth at a Whisky Club night in mid-2025, I was thrilled that a sample of this was in the tasting set I got from the sister and her family as a Christmas Present! I’d heard good things about this one, and it’s quite different to the Bushmills 21 Year Madeira Finish I’d tried in the past.

The first ever Distillery purchased by John Walker & Sons was Cardhu, though originally written Cardow. I’d always wanted to try a single malt release of this stuff, and thankfully my oldest sister and her family had given me a sample box as a Christmas present with this in it for me to try. I look at the history of Cardhu, starting with the original owner being busted multiple times for illegal Whisky distillation…as well as review their 18 year offering. It’s not what I expected…

Upon receiving a Christmas gift of six Whisky samples to review on the show, I was delighted when I found this one in the pack… I’d heard a lot about BenRiach and it’s connection with Billy Walker, of more recent GlenAllachie fame. For the first BenRiach I’ve reviewed…this one is a cracker!
