Lagavulin Distillery
Aged 16 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
You should go to Islay. Lagavulin and Laphroaig and are only a couple of km down the road from each other
It’s a long way from Australia…I don’t want to imagine the flight connects.
Suntory
Toki Japanese Whisky
Light, approachable whisky for people who are just getting into whisky. — 5 years ago
Suntory
Hibiki Japanese Harmony Blended Whisky
Hibiki Highball from the master at the Apollo. Been two years since I’ve been here but it felt like yesterday. Literally nothing has changed. Must stop if you are in Tokyo. Feel free to go to the bar Milo next door and have a drink of the “Mr Norm” bottle that I had to buy in order to get a drink. Keep in mind all of these places max out at 8 people. I kinda stressed them out coming in with eight but played the “remember me” card and picture from my iPhone ;) — 8 months ago
The Glenlivet
The French Oak Reserve 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
A little spicey, not as smooth because of the cognac barrels. Slight fruit, a little bitter on aftertaste. No peat. $85 at target (a bit pricey) might get it if it were in the $50s. — 4 years ago
Nikka Whisky Distilling Company
Coffey Grain Whisky
Very smooth and easy to drink. Had some hard candy notes on the nose and taste. — 2 years ago
Highland Park Distillery
Aged 18 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Golden amber color. Briny, diluted iodine, smoky, red fruit, floral and herbal notes on the nose. Warm mouthfeel. Hints of sherry and stewed fruits on the palate. — 6 years ago
Bob McDonald
Apparently one of the oldest Distillery sites in Scotland. Located by the sea on the Isle of Islay this receives the slowest distillation of any Islay malt, then spends 16 years in old oak casks before being bottled. This is very pungent, peaty and smoky. One of my favourite single malts. — 9 days ago
