Loch Lomond Single Grain: The Single Malt Review Episode 192The Single Malt Review2026-09-21 | Loch Lomond Single Grain: The Single Malt Review Episode 192Millstone 4 Years Old (Dutch Single Malt by Boutique-y)The Single Malt Review2023-07-28 | 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//Springbank 18 Years Old [2022 Edition]The Single Malt Review2023-06-30 | 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.Waiheke Whisky Dyad (Chardonnay Finish)The Single Malt Review2023-06-16 | 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 SweetwaterThe Single Malt Review2023-05-17 | Deeply fruity and dangerously drinkable, this one really embraces its ex-bourbon oak.Waiheke Whisky Dog YearsThe Single Malt Review2023-04-25 | We've got yet more from New Zealand craft distillers Waiheke WhiskyWaitui New Zealand Single Malt WhiskeyThe Single Malt Review2023-04-14 | 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 lunchThe Single Malt Review2023-04-14 | 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 VitaeThe Single Malt Review2023-04-01 | 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 Review2023-03-29 | 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!

Probably the most outrageous single malt we've ever tasted on the channel.Hinch Small Batch Bourbon CaskThe Single Malt Review2023-03-17 | 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 WhiskyThe Single Malt Review2023-03-06 | 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 1.1The Single Malt Review2023-02-26 | 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'.

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 BrandyThe Single Malt Review2022-10-31 | That sacramental wine sure got a little stronger over the years...
