Dalwhinnie Winter’s Gold<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dalwhinnie<\/p>\n

Dalwhinnie Winter’s Gold is a 2015 addition to the Highland distillery’s range inspired by the chilly climate up in the remote part of Scotland where their single malt Scotch whisky is distilled – as the label remarks, it was “Crafted by the Cold”. It’s made only with spirit that has been distilled between October and March, and interestingly enough, they suggest that you try serving this expression frozen! Winter’s Gold is rich with toffee, fresh green apple and honey notes – big, sweet flavours which should work rather well when served cold, supported by some robust smoke and golden malt hints.<\/p>\n

Balcones – Blue Corn Bourbon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Balcones were the first to use blue corn to create a corn whisky, and now they’ve gone and created a bourbon using blue corn in its mashbill too! A big, bold expression from the distillers in Waco, Texas – give it a drop of water to bring out more rich vanillas on the palate and finish…<\/p>\n
