Woop woop ! It’s already time for a new spirited wishlist, this month is a bit special in the widening whisky world as today marks the beginning of “Whisky Month” celebrations (And I know many of you will be attending popular malted events this month such as Feis Ile in Islay or the no-less famous Spirit of Speyside Festival – kicking off today – no need to mention how jealous I am… !). I chose to put together a diverse selection today including blends, bourbons, single malts and even grain whiskies. 5 nectars from 5 different whisky countries, a relatively eclectic spectrum showcasing the wide array of possibilities whisky can offer (and as usual, click on titles for direct links to shops).<\/p>\n

1. Hedonism Quindecimus 15th Anniversary – Compass Box (SCOTLAND)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Hedonism<\/p>\n

“The original Hedonism, Compass Box’s first whisky, was released in 2000, and this special edition celebrates the company’s 15th birthday. A vatting of whiskies of varying ages from four different distilleries, this is a multi-layered and complex grain, showing off the flexibility of this increasingly popular type of whisky”<\/p>\n

2. Togouchi Whisky 18 yo (JAPAN)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Togouchi“Aged in Japan from Scottish malt and Canadian grain, Togouchi 18 Year Old is aged in an abandoned railway tunnel in the eponymous town \u2013 a malty, earthy and spicy whisky”<\/p>\n

3. Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at sea (USA)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Jefferson's<\/p>\n

“An innovative release from Jefferson’s, Ocean was aged for between six and eight years on land, before the barrels were ‘finished’ on a ship at sea for the final six to ten months. A rich bourbon with a hint of salinity.”<\/p>\n

4. Teeling Single Grain (IRELAND)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Teeling<\/p>\n

“Released in 2013, Teeling’s Single Grain Whiskey has been matured full term in Californian Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrels, resulting in a spicy and fruity whiskey.”<\/p>\n

5. Glann ar Mor – Taol Esa 2L Gwech 2014 (FRANCE)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Glann<\/p>\n

“An unpeated bottling of Glann ar Mor from Breton in France. Bottled from a trio of first-fill bourbon barrels, this is rich with vanilla notes. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
