Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
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.

My exploration of Campbeltown continues as I shift from Glengyle to Glen Scotia. This particular dram I tried at a Whisky Club evening and I subsequently grabbed a bottle when it was on special. Perhaps that’s spoiling the ending about how much I liked it…but let’s review this properly shall we?

On my trip to New Zealand in July this year, my son and I stayed near Christchurch and while there I stopped by at the lovely Whisky Galore store. They had so many I would have liked to have grabbed however this bottle caught my eye. I grabbed it, had some of it while I was there but couldn’t bring it home to Australia with me, so just brought back a sample. I’d tried and enjoyed the Batch 6 at a Whisky Club night last year…how does the Batch 11 compare?

After a brief coverage of where Ardbeg source their Peated Malted Barley from I tackle a review of the strongest ABV Ardbeg in their core range. Up there in intensity against the Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength…can it beat it…or does it fall short? Time to find out!
With John Chidgey.
This time I talk a bit about the Distillery itself, where this dram gets its name from and then I try to figure out for myself, why the Ardbeg Committee members voted the Uigeadail as being Ardbeg’s best core range Whisky. Is it that good? Let’s see.

Ardbeg’s 10 Year offering has long been considered the benchmark Islay peated Whisky and set the standard for both quality and value. It’s odd that I hadn’t tried this until today and given my recent interest in Peated Whisky, it’s one I’ve been looking forward to. I talk about the Ardbeg Committee, Dr Bill Lumsden and of course I review the Whisky…plus there’s a special note towards the end…
