Favourite of the evening was the Invergordon 28 closely followed by the Barbados rum 14. On another evening, those choices might be reversed. I didn't think the malts were bad but just felt they were lacking somewhat. #DrinkHIp

Calvados cask finished #whisky has always been hit & miss for me. Thankfully, this Tomintoul was more hit (as you've probably worked out from the now empty bottle 😊)

Last Friday's Edinburgh #Whisky Group tasting with Marc from Highland Park was top notch. "Heather" was great but the 19 years "Sherry Skies" was just amazing. Can't bring myself to check out the price online though. I reckon it's a pricey one 🤣

Here's a photo of a prominent Scotch #whisky merchant you've probably never even heard of. Despite being caught up with those pesky Pattisons', he did ok. When he died, he left the equivalent of £1.8 million in today's terms. But who was he? Find out here 👇 www.kaskwhisky.com/post/what-go...

It's very likely that if you've ever been to Fife on #whisky business, you'll have noticed this in Auchtermuchty. This bonded warehouse was once part of the distillery there. But who owned it? And what happened to the distillery and its owners? Find out here👇 www.kaskwhisky.com/post/the-bon...

Only just getting to this dram that I picked up from the distillery a couple of months ago: Glenkinchie 30 yrs "A Richness Of Swallows". The #whisky is delicious; the price tag less so 😂
