Review: Compass Box Flaming Heart

2022’s iteration of the Compass Box Flaming Heart brings forth a wonderful crescendo of sweet and peat. That I could sip on all day long!

The Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is a bourbon with a second maturation in heavy toasted barrels. Let’s find out what that does to taste!

This Whisky Wednesday I’m trying out a sample of Waterford Heritage Hunter, a delicious dram with an amazing backstory.

Today I decided to review the Johnnie Walker Green Label. A pearl amongst their line-up with an age statement of 15 years.

This 15-year-old Linkwood is bottled by Gordon & Macphail for their Distillery Labels series. And it proved to be quite a treat!

This 11-year-old Strathmill is one of the first releases from the new Hogshead label, by Hogshead Imports from The Netherlands.

At the Van Gils liquor store in Lelystad I joined a Dramtable tasting, with a line-up of several Irish Whiskies.

This Whisky Wednesday I brought an 8-year-old Balblair by Kintra as a sample on my walk, to celebrate Burns Night with this Highland dram.

This 9-year-old Williamson from The Maltman is an amazing independent bottling from the Laphroaig Distillery. Raw and unforgoving!

Friday night at the Malt Vault with a Glenfarclas tasting given by none other than Callum Fraser himself!
