Tastes

Bought at Schonefeld airport in Berlin on Sunday 28th February after an amazing three days in Berlin! Cost €32.90, great saving in duty free! Opened on May 28th 2016, and first drunk that night with kick off of the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid at the San Siro.

First tried in Murhphys Irish Bar in Berlin - on corner next to Leonardo Hotel where we stayed - on Saturday 27th February 2016. Not bad, could be better. Doesnt last long.

First tried at Kilted Kangaroo/Outback with Cameron Maclennan and Carlyn. Cameron bought me it along with a pint of Amstel. Really nice but need to try again!

Bought for me by Carlyn for Valentines Day Fberuary 2016. Same day we went to Dalwhinnie. First tried that night. First impressions, more 'manufactured' than the malts ive tried so far. Good after taste! Second impressions: definitely better as air got into the bottle, but, still a better aftertaste than actual taste

Bought on 14th February 2016 whilst at Dalwhinnie distillery with Carlyn. Bought for £34.95 with a glass tumbler for £6.99. Second distillery I have visited. Freezing! Snowing whilst there and white all around! Got to keep the tasting glass as well which was a bonus! Enjoyed the tour very much, goes well with milk chocolate velvet truffle! First tried that night, first taste is amazing! Soft and subtle, fruity and ... Follows! Tastes just like the distillery smelled! Would give six stars if i could, favourite so far!

First tried on Saturday 6th February 2016 at The Westerton Arms in Bridge of Allan with Carlyn. Great meal, had 'three little pigs'. Enjoyed the whisky but needed more to try!

Bought on 29th January 2016 for £36 with £30 amazon voucher from Auntie Hazel and Uncle David for christmas.

First tried on Saturday 23rd January2016 with Carlyn at the Settle Inn pub. Lovely atmosphere definitely helped. First 'peat monster' tried. I described it as 'drinking a bonfire', now ive thought on it more, its like 'drinking a peated bonfire'. Nonetheless i really enjoyed it! Something new and exciting. Could have done with a bit of water. Alongside a pint of Settle Inn House Lager which helped both drinks. House Lager is excellent! If i could would give 4.5/5.

First tried on Saturday 23rd January 2016 with Carlyn at Settle Inn pub. Lovely atmosphere definitely helped. Little bit left over in bottle so barwoman very kindly just poured the whole lot in! Citrusy - orange citrus - and very slightly nutty. Alongside a pint of Settle Inn House Lager, went very well together! Had this dram before tackling Laphraoig!

First whisky ever really tried, thanks to Matt Palmer. He gave me and Cammy a dram. Wasnt too keen at first, more keen than Cammy, he needed a whole lot of water and still didnt finish it! Need to try it again!
