Redbreast PX Edition
A good looking dram that promises much and delivers enormously. It’s from their limited edition range and apparently is highly sought after. I saw this in Dublin Duty Free and thought I’d give it a go as the 12 and…

GlenAllachie 18 year old
I had tried the 12 year old from GlenAllachie and it was tasty but lacked depth and a long finish so I was keen to experience the 18 year old and it didn’t disappoint. The nose is dark toffee with…
Bunnahabhain 12 year old
Chilly nights call for a warming dram and this gorgeous golden fella looks like it’ll fit the bill! The nose on this dram suggests that it’ll be sweet, much like you’d get on a sherried whisky, but it also has…

Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve
My go to dram is the Balvenie Caribbean Cask so when a friend posted a bottle of this (online and not actually to me unfortunately!) I was keen to try it. A portion of this dram was finished in barrels…
