Last Wednesday was really a day of grain whiskies. Also got to try the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost And Rare Port Dundas blend at a special tasting at Bá by 61M. The Ghost And Rare series puts the focus on rare whiskies from closed distilleries, and this time around it’s Port Dundas, a grain distillery that closed in 2010 after being in operation for over a century. At one point it was even the largest grain distillery in Scotland. However, since it’s Blue Label after all, this expression is still a blended Scotch, so there’s some malt in there too. It’s just that unlike the other Ghost And Rares, the proportion of the grain whisky from Port Dundas is higher than the malts. There’s also whisky from fellow ghost grain distillery Cambus, as well as Brora and five other malts. Now, Blue Label has always been an excellent blend, and their Ghost & Rares are quite the treat. The Port Dundas is no exception. We tasted this side by side with two other Ghost & Rare malt-forward blends (Glenury Royal and Pittyvaich) and the contrast was quite distinct. The Port Dundas is not as rich in texture as the other two, but what it lacks in mouthfeel it makes up for with a sweeter, grassy nose and entry that has an undertone of that mustiness that some very old whiskies tend to have. There’s a creamy woody note amidst the vanilla and toffee notes on the palate, but there’s also some fruity spiced notes that end with a hint of old smoke, suppsoedly from the Brora that’s in it. As expected of a Blue Label, this is an excellent dram that has the distinction of being quite different from the other Ghost & Rares. Well worth a try. #whisky #scotch #blendedwhisky #johnniewalker #bluelabel #ghostandrare #portdundas #grainwhisky #mytipsyturvy #tipsyturvywhisky (at Kazu KL) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLBjcmJjMt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#whiskywednesday and I have collected and drank quite a few #compassbox whiskies over the last few years. The older #whiskies continue to go up in price and the packaging is super sexy, but I still have not tasted one that tasted even close to as good as The General. Is the new #scotch up to the same level as the older stuff. The #compassboxwhisky Circus is another favorite and then #compassboxhedonism Quindecimus for me. Nothing released in the last 2 years came even close to those for me, I mean they are good for sure but the older stuff is GREAT, thoughts and comments? #scotchwhisky #scotchscotchscotch #rolex @compassboxwhiskyco . . . #blendedwhisky #blendedscotch #blendedscotchwhisky #rolex #rolexbatman #rolexgmtmaster2 #rolexwhisky #whisky #grainwhisky #whiskylover #whiskygram #whiskyporn #whiskycollector #whiskytime #rolexpassion (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_QJulDohI/?igshid=mb4kblg6svsc

#ᴛʙᴛ to when the world was a wonderful place, where we were able to sit at @milroysofspitalfields and enjoy a special array of whiskies 💕 This was one of those nights that begun innocently enough, trying whiskies and taking notes. But the inevitable point in the evening came, where I had to abandon my notes and just enjoy the whiskies... all I could do at that point was take pictures to remember what I had drank 🙈😂 Sadly that meant these were the bottles I never took notes on ... Has anyone tried any of these beauties, independently bottled by @dlaingwhisky, and can jog my memory? #whiskynerd #wateroflife #whisky #singlemalt #maltlover #whiskytasting #whiskylife #whiskylover #whiskies #whiskey #womeninwhiskey #whiskygram #whiskywomen #whiskygirl #whiskyporn #whiskylife #whiskylove #malt #grainwhisky #singlegrain #douglaslaing #whiskycollector #whiskyoftheday #scotch #dram #威士忌酒 (at Milroy's of Spitalfields) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM2ppYoMcJF/?igshid=1e68ksqfmzl87

#キリンディスティラリー #陸 PURE&MELLOWと書いてありますが...正直イマイチ分からない(；´Д`) 「世界の大陸を見渡し、良質な原酒を厳選しました。」という記載が、昨今のウイスキーブームによる原酒不足をポジティブに表現していますね( ꒪Д꒪) 結果出来たものはグレーン比率の高いバーボン的な風味の強いウイスキー。 かなり甘さが先に立ってきます。 ハイボールにする場合、若干のアイラモルトを加えると味にキレが出ると思いました。 #japanesewhisky #grainwhisky https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwe_1AsJMO/?igshid=1p7hjj94rml9v

If only all #japanesewhisky were priced like #Chita. In most parts of Japan this bottle retails at around $35AUD. Overrall this #GrainWhisky offers good value for money without setting the world on fire. The nosing is dominated by sweetness with hints of baking spices. The palate is thick and rich with honey, toffee and vanilla twirling in an eternal dance. Slightly higher abv would really help this whisky stand out. The sweetness glides past in the finish to make way for some light spices and touch oak. Have you tried #theChita?

Last Wednesday saw the launch of the new Royal Salute 21 Year Old Blended Grain whisky at Grand Imperial Restaurant @ The Club. The whisky was paired with a quite splendid spread of food created through a collaboration between Grand Imperial and Eat & Cook (@eatandcook.asia). The lobster dishes were especially stunning, and I really liked the opening course of various small bites and also the asparagus as well. As for the whisky, this was quite an interesting one because you don’t really see a lot of blended grains around, let alone a 21YO. Royal Salute previously came out with the stunning Snow Polo blended grain limited edition, and it’s really nice to see an official core bottling this time around. The whisky itself is pretty good. On the nose you get a whiff of the typical light grassiness you usually get with aged grain whiskies, but then the oak comes though a bit more with toffee and caramel as well. On the palate, I got more of those toffee notes, but with a dash of honey and fruit, and finishing with a lovely bouquet of apricots, floral and honeyed notes. We got to try it side by side with the Royal Salute 21YO The Malts Blend Blended Malt and I have to say, the contrast between the more full bodied malts blend vs the lighter but fruity/grassy blended grain was quite interesting to note. The Blended Grain also goes really really well with the food that was served, more so than the other blends, I have to say. The whisky also comes in a transparent flagon, which is also unique within the Royal Salute range, which typically bottles in ceramic flagons. All in all, this is one of my favourite new releases from Royal Salute in recent years, right up there next to the Malts Blend. Let’s hope we see more grain whiskies in the market soon! #whisky #whiskey #scotch #grainwhisky #blendedgrain #royalsaluteblendedgrain #royalsalute #royalsalutemy #tipsyturvywhisky #mytipsyturvy (at Grand Imperial Group 喜粤飲食集團) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6dPI5JEWG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

5 hours of kids soccer in 80 degree weather calls for a stiff #whisky and some chill time. My 5 year old is a beast, she scored 8 goals today and she is not one of the biggest kids on the team. Good #kidsactivities over the weekend, so I am enjoying some #lastdropdistillers 18 year old Toms Blend, and some #Amrut spectrum 004 in the backyard while the kids play. #amrutspectrum #singlemalt #blendedwhisky @amrutmalt @lastdropdistillers . . . . #scotch #indianwhisky #rolexwhisky #whiskygeek #whiskygram #instawhisky #blendedscotchwhisky #grainwhisky #singlemaltwhisky #whiskytime #whiskydrinker #glencairnglass #scotch #pourmeanother #expert #spirits #topshef #indiansinglemaltwhisky (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1aEIpjlZM/?igshid=1ffa9aeirbynp
