... for me, the most successful Distillery Ale I have tasted. ... which got me thinking about a hybrid beverage called 'Whiskale' which may help small Craft Distillers get through the lean years (financially) by producing a grain of Port. A bit left-field, but I will be experimenting, and posting results.

1x94 - whisky review 082 - Benromach 10yo

1x102 - whisky review 089 - Glenburgie 15yo Cask Strength

.... only available at Chivas Malt Distilleries, this is a great example of a lesser known Malt Whisky which can be found on a 'treasure hunt' around Scotland's Distilleries.

1x133 - whisky review 107 - Canadian Club (Barrel Blended)

... an available, decent priced introduction to Canadian Whisky, ... multi-grain distillate designed for a sweet, pleasant rye-kissed Blend. It works well, acceptable for sipping but designed for a CC&7(with 7-Up soda), CC&G (with ginger ale) and as a Manhattan Cocktail (1/3 CC 2/3 Vermouth, crushed ice, shaken,(not stirred) and a cherry on top. (bitters optional) ... lovely.
