Springbank 18 Years Old [2022 Edition] The Single Malt Review 2023-06-30 | Old Springbank is one of the truly wonderful and esoteric Scotch Whiskys. Sadly, recent developments have made it rare to see a bottle being opened and enjoyed rather than flipped on the secondary market. Nothing's getting between us and our whisky though.
Millstone 4 Years Old (Dutch Single Malt by Boutique-y) The Single Malt Review 2023-07-28 | Four years old, peated and aged solely in a pair of first fill PX casks. We'll need to fasten our whisky seat-belts for this one because the flavours are 'industrial'...//Our camera has a little bit of trouble focusing during the intro//
Waiheke Whisky Dyad (Chardonnay Finish) The Single Malt Review 2023-06-16 | The chardonnay barrel which this edition of Dyad spent its two year finish was produced right on the island of Waiheke. This proximity allowed for a 'wet-fill' in which the wine is emptied and the whisky is filled immediately. The results are intriguing.
Waiheke Whisky Sweetwater The Single Malt Review 2023-05-17 | Deeply fruity and dangerously drinkable, this one really embraces its ex-bourbon oak.
Waiheke Whisky Dog Years The Single Malt Review 2023-04-25 | We've got yet more from New Zealand craft distillers Waiheke Whisky
Waitui New Zealand Single Malt Whiskey The Single Malt Review 2023-04-14 | Matured for a full eight years in manuka honey mead barrels, Waitui is a single malt that expresses one of the most profound cask characters we've ever encountered on the channel.
Scotia thinks about her lunch The Single Malt Review 2023-04-14 | Scotia unlocks some treats from her food puzzle. Some pieces must be removed, some must be opened or slid, or alternatively all can be destroyed... Not until Islay the (apparently) terrifying goes away though. African Lion Hound indeed.
Lindores Abbey Aqua Vitae The Single Malt Review 2023-04-01 | Dave's found another weird one, with this herbal infused single malt tonic. Some of the flavours of Jagermeister and Dom Benedictine, but with a crisp and dry malt character.Also, while producing this one I realized that Dave drops a truly great 'prior' joke with such stone cold stealth that I completely miss it. Shameful.
Waiheke Whisky Dyad (Dramfest 2023 Edition) The Single Malt Review 2023-03-29 | Released just for the Dramfest 2023 Whisky Expo, this peated single malt was distilled by Patrick Newton, who also produced the port that lent its finish to this incredible dram. New Zealand really is a small place...This bottle was kindly provided by the Waiheke whisky team. Cheers guys!09:07 Scores
Introducing Scotia The Single Malt Review 2023-03-28 | And we thought Mingus was bad at knocking our gear over...
Octomore X4 +10 The Single Malt Review 2023-03-19 | Octomore X4 + 10 is a quadruple distilled, 10 years old 70%ABV monster of a whisky.Probably the most outrageous single malt we've ever tasted on the channel.
Hinch Small Batch Bourbon Cask The Single Malt Review 2023-03-17 | Just in time for St Patrick's day, here's a young (3-4 years) but none the less characterful Irish blend from Hinch up in County Down.
Indri Single Malt Indian Whisky The Single Malt Review 2023-03-06 | Indri is only the third Indian single malt we've been lucky enough to taste on the channel, and it might just be our favorite too. It has all of the tropical fruit and spice flavours that we've come to anticipate from Indian malt, while also possessing a clean minerality that gives it it's own clear identity.
Waterford Single Farm Origin Lakefield Edition 1.1 The Single Malt Review 2023-02-26 | There are few singular bottles out there that I'd consider genuinely transformative. But as I explored this single farm, single malt whisky from Waterford, I found my whole perspective on Irish whisky changing (they don't spell it with an 'e' either, so sod it, down with the 'e')//In the video we get our 'VDN' wines confused with a Spanish variant. The 'VDN' casks used here surely refer to the French 'vin doux naturel'. 10:31 Scores
West Cork Black Cask Blended Irish Whiskey The Single Malt Review 2023-02-21 | We're back for 2023, and what better way to get our palates limbered up than an independently distilled Irish blend.

Egans Vintage Grain (Single Grain Irish Whiskey) The Single Malt Review 2022-11-21 | Irish whiskey is already a pretty small niche, just like single grain whisky. So do we have a double niche here. Or is that technically a niche squared?06:31 Scores
Kilkerran 8 Year Old Port Cask Matured The Single Malt Review 2022-11-14 | The years end dawns and another cask strength Kilkerran of astonishing quality descends and blows our whisky of the year race wide open.Do they do this on purpose?
Egans Fortitude Irish Single Malt The Single Malt Review 2022-11-08 | A 100% sherry matured single malt distilled at an extremely undisclosed location (probably Tullamore Distillery?). It's unusual to find fully sherry matured Irish whiskey of any kind, and even more so to encounter one with the maturity to pull it off. So we're very pleased to report that Egan's 'Fortitude' does so magnificently.
Christian Brothers Brandy The Single Malt Review 2022-10-31 | That sacramental wine sure got a little stronger over the years...This is a slightly older video (as you can see by the resolution) but it's brought to you today by popular request. Of at least one person... Actually I think Dave even asked me where this one was so that's at least two people.
