Are you looking for a reasonably priced whisky gift for the whisky lover in your life? Look no further than this beautifully presented Famous Grouse with wooden presentation box.
Japanese whisky has really started to capture the attention of those looking to discover new flavours in their whisky-drinking voyage of discovery. While it is only recently that it has been making headlines, it has in fact been produced commercially in Japan since the 1920’s by the Yamazaki distillery.
Read This »Single Malt Whisky A Scotsman had been presented with a bottle of fine old single malt whisky, which he placed in his pocket. On his way home he fell, and as he got up he felt a damp patch on his trousers. “Please, Lord,” he prayed, “let that just be blood.” A single malt is…

I was delighted when I was told that I’d be kicking off our new whisky blog series. Well that was until I found out that the subject of our latest argument would be the subject of this post – How to drink whisky.
Argh! has there ever been a whisky subject that causes so much split of opinion? No matter what I say here, I’m sure to have people that disagree. Maybe that is a good thing though, after all it is peoples opinions that make the world an interesting place. Not only that, but this community dividing subject can’t lead to war – at least, I hope not.
I’ll get my preference out of the way now, because I know you are desperate to know – I drink mine with a splash of cold water. Not tap water mind, a famous brand of spring water from Scotland. Even the old tap or spring water debate can get heated. Some say that only natural water from a flowing spring will do. Other say that that spring has to be the same as the original spring used to produce the whisky. However, what my local area lacks in natural springs the supermarket can provide, so, I make do.
Oh, one more thing to add is that when I try a whisky for the first time I try it neat. It is sometimes the case (for me at least) that adding water does nothing for the drink.

If you are looking for something great but are on a budget then you can’t go far wrong with this blended white horse whisky.
White Horse has been around for a very long time, and with good reason. With an even taste it stands up well to its higher priced competition.
With a honey and peat finish it is a very pleasing whisky for the price

Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength – Our Review
Here we have the IWSC Silver Award winner. It is a delightful single malt with a wonderfully deep golden colour, the kind of Whisky that is a real pleasure to pour.
Starting with a light fruit, it develops on the tongue to form an oaked spiciness. It can’t help but be warming at a full 60% abv. One to be treated with respect.
If you are looking for something special that won’t break the bank, then you can’t go far wrong with this.
