thewhiskylady - 2016-12-05

I’m just coming back home to France after a sunny escape in Malta – where I stayed a couple of days to discover what the Mediterranean island had to offer in terms of scenery, culture & history but also to dive into the local food & drink scene… You know me, no trip would be complete if I hadn’t been scrupulously looking out for the …

5 Whisky Hotspots You Need To Visit While In London

thewhiskylady - 2016-11-17

You may or may not know it, but I used to live in London.

In Pictures: A Whisky Journey Around Speyside

thewhiskylady - 2016-09-13

While attending the first edition of Spirit of Speyside Distilled last weekend in Elgin, I couldn’t resist embarking on another Speyside whisky-themed journey, stopping for some malted visits at Strathisla (THE most picturesque/iconic Pagoda-styled Scottish distillery to me), Cardhu and Aberlour that day, but also enjoying some time off the festival around the mythic River Spey & Elgin Cathedral.
