Whiskey Aficionado's Weekly Whisky Reviews

Join me as I uncover one of whisky's best-kept secrets—a 37-year-old Cadenhead Original Collection Highland Single Malt from a mystery distillery. With the distillery's name hidden and an estimated value of around $1,000, the big question is... can we work out what's in the bottle? I'll explore the nose, palate, finish, and the clues that might reveal the whisky's true identity.

Join me on Episode 8 of the Whisky Aficionado Podcast as I take a closer look at the Glenlivet 12 Licensed Dram, bottled at a bolder 48% ABV.

Is this simply the classic Glenlivet turned up a notch, or does the extra strength transform the whisky into something truly special? We'll explore the nose, palate, finish, and overall value while discussing how the higher ABV impacts flavour, texture, and balance.

If you're a Glenlivet fan—or you've ever wondered whether a few extra percentage points of alcohol really make a difference—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Join me on this episode of the Whisky Aficionado Podcast as I explore the famous Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Finished in ruby port casks, this Highland single malt is known for its rich dark chocolate, orange, berry fruit, and warming spice notes.

Is the Quinta Ruban one of the best value port-cask-finished whiskies on the market, or is it simply riding on Glenmorangie's reputation? I'll break down the nose, palate, finish, and overall value while sharing my honest thoughts—with a touch of Irish humour along the way.

Pour yourself a dram and let's find out if this whisky deserves a place on your shelf.

What team are you in? In this podcast we discuss the differences between the Bourbon and Sherry casks, and how the influence our palates and Whisky.

A great dram to be honest, one to have on the shelf in my opinion.

We have waited 20 years for the people at Ardbeg to give us this wonderful dram

Whisky in a can seems a strange concept, however, it's portable, and a decent dram..

Hard to get your hands on this whisky, Usually balloted to email subscribers of the main Online Whisky Retailers.

Is it worth the money? Is it worth the hype?
