February has been and gone, and so has the second meeting of the inaugural Manchester Whisky Club. You did read that right by the way. It comes as rather a surprise to find out that Manchester is lacking a whisky club. For a city that hosts a yearly Whisky Festival with a packed crowd, there’s no shortage of interestContinue reading “Manchester Whisky Club Review – February”

Compass Box
Everyone always loves something a bit special. Gift boxes, limited editions, a good deal – all a worthy reason to treat yourself.

Aberlour Tasting Notes
Aberlour is a Speyside whisky that I have had the pleasure of coming across several times. The nature of my job can sometimes bring together many a whisky note, but never a fully fledged piece on the brands in question. Well it’s about time I write a little bit on one of these names thatContinue reading “Aberlour Tasting Notes”

It came as rather a surprise to find out that Manchester is lacking a whisky club.

York Whisky Festival 2012 Review
Last year I became lucky enough to experience two whisky festivals organised by The Whisky Lounge. I happened to be in York for a weekend and heard that the Whisky Festival was in town, so naturally I decided to spend the afternoon there. I targeted the whiskies I knew I hadn’t tried in Manchester, asContinue reading “York Whisky Festival 2012 Review”
Glenfarclas Tasting Notes
I’ve been lucky enough to try the core range of Glenfarclas – a whisky from the Highland region of Scotland. A whisky that has been in the Grants of Glenfarcas family since 1865 when on the 8th June, John Grant acquired the tenancy of Reichlerich Farm in Ballindalloch for only £511.19S.0d. The plot also held a distillery. To this day Glenfarclas isContinue reading “Glenfarclas Tasting Notes”
Berry Bros. & Rudd Review
Berry Bros. & Rudd are one of those names that if searching for a bottle of wine or a specialist spirit, it will be near the very top of your search engine. Why? Because Berry Bros. & Rudd is one of Britain’s oldest wine and spirit merchants, opening its doors way back in 1698 at St.Continue reading “Berry Bros. & Rudd Review”
Manchester Whisky Festival 2012 Review
The Palace Hotel in Manchester was the host of the biggest whisky festival outside of London, so big in fact that there had to be two sessions and two floors. The Whisky Lounge were the proud organisers for the 4th year in a row and had on offer the crème de la crème of theContinue reading “Manchester Whisky Festival 2012 Review”
anCnoc Tasting Notes
anCnoc (meaning ‘the hill’ in Gaelic) are one of those Highland whiskies that are keeping their production methods traditional, but are also appealing to the modern age in a time that can be hard to establish yourselves amongst your competitors. The location of the anCnoc distillery itself sets it apart from most of the other Highland brandsContinue reading “anCnoc Tasting Notes”
