Many of us have fallen in love with The Macallan whisky for its sleek design, rich but subtle flavours, and all-round great taste. Yet, though we can tell you a lot about the maturation style and various designs, we perhaps don’t know as much about the history of The Macallan. I certainly didn’t! So we […]
Portugal – oh troubled nation of beaches and wine – what will happen next? When Portugal was taken off of the ‘No Go’ list seats on planes sold faster than limited edition Springbanks. As a whisky drinker I particularly treasured this news. Why? Well, whisky and port – Scotland and Portugal – overlap in interesting […]
Today we are going to take a step back from the world of indie whisky and instead delve into the indie rum world, in particular, a bottler that has grabbed the attention of rum fans, critics and, well, us – Rum Nation. Rum Nation is an indie bottler of fine rums from across the Caribbean […]
Last year, on February 11th, Diageo launched International Scotch Day for the first time and it’s back in 2018, this time on February 8th and we’re going to celebrate (and you can be involved too!). Hold on a minute, another day dedicated to our wonderful drink?!?! We hear you, but another day where you can […]

If you can remember as far back as September 2017 (we know, it seems like a lifetime ago), you might recall our blog on pairing whisky with coffee. We summarised that it’s not as simple as pouring some whisky into your coffee but, in fact, a far more complex idea that requires care and attention. […]
Today we’re taking an in-depth look at the Whisky Foundation exclusive Springbank 24 Year Old by The Maltman. This beautiful single malt is one that is close to our hearts, as the first ever bottle to feature on our whisky stock market, The Reserve. If you’ve not yet hear of The Reserve, where have you […]
January is a month that seems to drag on. Christmas and New Year celebrations are behind us and for some reason it always seems to take us the best part of a month to fully recover from the festivities. Much of the month is spent in the gym (who knows how long this will last), […]
