The perfect spot

     A tons of suggestion circulate on the internet how you should have your dram – on ice or with a few drops of water, drink it from a glencairn glass, don’t wear strong fragnance as that overtake the whisk(e)y’s aromas and your nose is going to be in trouble when you will try to identify the notes and so on. What other factor can affect your tasting experience? The place. 

Many state that the best experience is to have it in a distellery where it came from. I just closed my eyes for a moment and I was wondering about to stand at a harbour in Islay and holding a peaty dram in my hand… but considering a fact that there is a 2700 km distance between me and the scotch producers I would stay at the ground of reality and choose the easy to go options.

Bars

If you manage to find a pub what stepped out from the Jim – Jack – Johnny triangle and has a more sophisticated offer list, then you are lucky, but still unlucky as their prices at the ceiling. If you don’t want to settle the invoice with your real estate at the end then I advise to find another way to broaden your tasting experience.

Tasting events / festives

This is how I was thrusted in the rabbit hole. A few old friends invited me to the Whisky Show in Budapest, I was like okey, this alcohol is really not my cup of tea but who knows I might find someting consumable. I did. And I was marching against the stereotypes as being a woman I fell in love with the heavily peated Islay malts. You will find here not only the best drams, but information - the ambassadors will happily share their knowlegde and passion with you.

If you are a beginner – so I am now – I highly recommend to attend one of the thematic tasting event also where the presenter will lead you through the whisk(e)y making process or let it be different regions/continents or certain brands’ products. It’s a great experience at a reasonable price.

Home

2020, the year of a pandemic. One sentence is running from the tap: „Stay home”. If you already found your way in the world of whisk(e)ys then probably you won’t order someting what not really match with your style. You can arrange your small tasting sessions, only one crucial equipment needed: a glencairn glass. Keep experiencing – what dram goes well with which cheese (my personal favourite is the Talisker 10 – blue cheese duo) or what chocolate is the perfect match. Or what about a BBQ accompanied by a bourbon? The amenites of a home is also countlesss, so it can’t be your excuse.

Nature

Are you fed up sitting among the four walls all day? Strech your legs, get on a bike and find a natural gem where mankind did not leave a scar yet. For some reason in most people’s head there is a thought that the whisky can be consumed at a fancy bar what heavy with leather and wood with full of elegant, suited up men at their 50s. Take it easy, just lay down a blanket on a grass, kick off your shoes, enjoy the warming sips and the rays of the sun. Sláinte!

[whiskyoftheweek]

Hello again Malty Heads! @whiskywithaview Let me just say, it’s great to be at the beautiful location with the beautiful whisky on the side! A year 2016 is all about the one and only Lady Laga, isn’t it? Can’t be mad at it, let’s just enjoy it and celebrate 200th anniversary of the distillery, shall we? One of the best ways to celebrate it, is a nice dram (I’d suggest a bottle though) of a Lagavulin 8yo’. A limited edition, 30 000 bottles only..Make sure you’ll grab one, as it really is a great whisky. Personaly, I neeed some time spent with this one, as I’ve underestimated its character and beauty when I had a first dram. Time and a little help of an oxygenation, works really well with this spirit and this whisky really needs it to develop its best. Bottled at 48%, matured in 100% ex-bourbon casks (great start) chill-filltered and coloured (so unnecessary) Nose: Yes, it is Laga but but the profile is much closer to 12yo than 16yo. Fresh and punchy. Lemon cake, pinapple, tropical fruits, all of it hidden somewhere in the background, as sweet peat and sea breeze are the main event. Sweeter than I expected. Palate: Lots of tropical fruits again, salted barley, pralins. Peat is very noticeable but it’s sweet and it works well with the profile of the spirit. Very nice, oily texture on the tongue. Finish: It’s a peated Islay whisky so although it’s a 8yo one - finish is quite long. Sweet peat and salt again. This young sister of 16yo proves that Islay whiskies are able to develop their best when the spirit is young. The freshenss, sweet peatiness, young and punchy character of the spirit; for me it makes this whisky one of the best Islay spirits of 2016. Let’s just wait for it’s older sister - 25yo one. Can’t wait to try it! Actually, I am going to do exactly that in just a few days! Have a great week Malty Heads, cheers! #singlemalt #sınglemaltwhisky #lagavulin #whisky #whiskyoftheweek #maltyheads #peatsmoke #bathuk #whiskywithaview #scotch #scotchwhisky #whiskyporn #whiskygram #whiskytasting #whiskyshow (w: Bath, United Kingdom)

[whiskyoftheweek]

Hello malty heads! How's your weekend going? I bet it'd be much better with a dram like this, am I right? Let me welcome you in my next #tbwhisky series, this time from the @whiskyexchange #whiskyshow In London. Mysterious whisky from Hanyu - last of the "Playing Cards" series, "The Joker" Multi Vintage is a rare and precious single malt from a distillery closed for years and with a high reputation still today. "The Joker", colour label, the best Japanese whisky of the year according to the Whisky Advocate Magazine. This rather unusual whisky is in fact the result of the mix of 1985, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991 and 2000 vintages from Hanyu distillery, aged in fourteen different types of barrels (Bourbon, Cognac, Madeira , or puncheon, butt, hogshead and Chibidaru). 57,7ABV, un-chill filtered, non colour added. Great stuff! How is it? Ok, let me tell you something abou it.. Nose: Very sweet notes. Toffee apples, raisins, turkish delight, a lot of honey and some mint as well, vanilla. Complex but it's all about the sweetness though. Palate: Sweet and sour, polished oak, red fruits, lemon oil, some sherry bitter notes as well. Very interesting with a drop of water (or even few solid spoons) and some time spent in the glass. Some aniseed and tobacco. Finish: Long one, spicy, touch of mint and almonds. Very rich and complex whisky. #whisky #whiskyporn #WhiskyArt #singlemaltwhisky #joker #hanyu #whiskyoftheweek #whiskytasting #japanesewhisky (w: London, United Kingdom)
