I finally got round to opening this little dram. We opened our Foghouse Spirits whisky bar on the 5th July and we were delighted when Dr Jock Ramsay and his good lady walked in to have a browse. Even better...

(Non) Chill Filtration! A blessing or a curse to whisky? Here's what a non chill-filtered whisky might look like if it gets cold.  The haze is caused by long chain fatty acids and esters (aka flavour compounds) clumping together in cold...

Finding time to write reviews is getting tougher and tougher as life in the shop combines with the ever growing and needy presence of a 15-month old boy. Thankfully though, when the urge hits and a creative urge rises, there...

We just love the label on this inaugural single cask malt whisky bottling by Lost Loch, in collaboration with @whiskyteuchter, showcasing the finest Highland Cow you ever did see. Here, I introduce the whisky behind the label, which is reminiscent...

Auld Goonsy是一个有故事的角色。他曾是一名制桶工人，在苏格兰各地的威士忌酿酒厂的垫料仓库中工作，经常有人发现他讲述他在职业生涯中遇到的（也可能是创造的！）发生的事情。 在他的职业生涯中，他与酿酒厂经理和威士忌爱好者建立了友谊，当需要挂起他的投篮时，他已经积累了许多木桶，他的朋友们都非常乐意帮助他选择最好的品鉴。 Auld Goonsy 本人建议他的威士忌发布“最好搭配故事”。 我们很高兴只提供精选的 Auld Goonsy 版本，更高兴的是打开30 年 Jura的样品瓶，看看玻璃杯中蕴藏着什么令人愉快的寓言。 这是一款以 42.2% ABV 的天然桶装瓶装威士忌，但其体积的不足却在特性上得到了弥补。低度、天然的酒精度让烈酒的味道与木头融为一体，达到只有最好的老威士忌才能提供的平衡和体验。 闻起来我立刻想起白面包三明治上的蜂蜜和黄油。有趣的是，这是 30 年前我会吃的零食的童年记忆！它让人想起从学校回到家，在出发之前吃到这个美味的三明治。 回到此时此地，再嗅一嗅，就会发现蜂蜜和柠檬茶、新鲜出炉的脆饼和一丝薄荷醇的味道。一些橡木的酸味随之而来，为甜味增添了一些深度和复古感。 第一口喝下去，在意识到任何味道之前，我就被它的口感所震撼。浓稠而柔滑，立即覆盖整个口感。我从这里采摘绿色的果园水果、成熟的梨和切碎的苹果准备炖。一些白糖和厨房香料，肉桂和所有香料。 这款酒充满了俏皮感，白巧克力老鼠和草莓花边增添了糖果店的回忆，并为原本精致、平衡的液体带来了有趣的转折。厚重的脆饼底将所有东西按顺序固定在一起，提供一致性。 余味悠长、柔滑，余味悠长。草莓的味道突然出现，有点奶油味（我敢说草莓奶昔吗！？）而且更柔和。香草软糖和柠檬毛毛雨蛋糕给余味带来了一些复杂性，然后橡木的干燥带来了最后的欢呼，而一点坚果则在最后带来了一丝转折。 这款威士忌非常好喝，可以畅饮到核心。由于几乎没有酒精的痕迹，它实际上可以被认为是危险的。超过 300 英镑的价格可能会让一些人望而却步，但对于那些买得起的人来说，这是一款令人惊叹的小酒。 汝拉最近的声誉有些不稳定，但在考虑此次收购时，应该将其搁置并采取开放的态度。这当然是庆祝 30 岁生日的理想之选，或者随着我 40 岁生日的临近，我很高兴收到这瓶来自任何愿意的礼物
