Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
With the Odes to the Valley and the Dark now reviewed, the final release in the series, the Ode to the Embers, harkens back to the days when GlenDronach peated their malts. For me, it’s the first modern Peated GlenDronach I’ve ever tried. It’s also the most expensive, but is it actually the best one of the series? Or did we peak with the Dark?

Penderyn broke the 110 year drought of Whisky production in Wales in 2004 when they released their first Whisky. This time I review their Celt offering, which is part of their cooly-themed Dragon Range of Whiskies. Their still design is considered to be unique and designed by a relative of Michael Faraday. It’s interesting that’s for sure, but how does it rate?
With John Chidgey.
The Our Barley Scotch from Lochlea is only the second Lowlands Whisky that I’ve tried. The distillery is a true farm to bottle distillery and I look at how it rapidly changed from being a cattle property to become a Distillery in the first place, given it’s youth, and also how it stacks up overall.

The first Lowlands Scotch Whisky I’ve tried is this, the Bladnoch Vinaya. I look at the history of the Distillery and how it got its nickname ‘The Queen of the Lowlands’ as well as how an Australian Entrepreneur helped to rescue the Distillery from liquidation about 8 years ago. Importantly, I also reviewed the Scotch.

The final Glen Moray in this series of reviews has the oldest Age Statement. At 15 Years as a Single Malt I compare it to other offerings beyond the 15 Year in terms of cost in the local market. Glen Moray are consistently affordable but can the 15 Year Old stand up against other similar offerings with this age statement and price range?
With John Chidgey.
The Fire Oak offering from Glen Moray is the third I’d tried and it’s not as widely available anymore. I review this unusual offering from Glen Moray as well as how La Martiniquaise have accelerated the Glen Moray brand into the International Marketplace.
