Almost back home (writing this piece live from Edinburgh airport actually… my famous “Arriving-way-to-early” syndrome stroke again…)<\/em> after an absolutely fantastic [ENTER ALL ALTERNATIVE SUPERLATIVES YOU’D LIKE HERE] roadtrip in Scotland. Despite the flooded roads and crazy weather (not to mention the sore throat I’m bringing back to France as a Scottish souvenir – bought the cutest sheep-faced tissues though yesterday, almost feel pleased to use them!)<\/em>, we reached our final destination and celebrated Hogmanay amongst 1548998798 other people in Edinburgh (cracking open a nice bottle of The Library Collection from Edinburgh Whisky Ltd right for the midnight castle fireworks \\o\/)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Well, before telling you more about this wintery Scottish escape, let’s first catch up on our regular rendez-vous: my monthly whisky wishlist (who said January was supposed to be dry….)<\/em>!<\/p>\n

\"DIVIDER\"<\/p>\n

Mortlach 1939 75 Years Old – Gordon & Macphail Generations<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Afficher<\/p>\n

This is the oldest whisky ever to be released, a single first-fill sherry butt of Mortlach distilled on 17 November 1939 was bottled at an incredible 75 years of age in 2015 by Gordon & MacPhail. Just 100 teardrop-shaped decanters were produced of this true collector’s item. This is an exceptionally complex whisky with notes of toffee, wood spice and peach.<\/p>\n

\"llllll\"<\/p>\n

Garrison Brothers – Single Barrel Bourbon 2011<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Garrison<\/p>\n

In 2013, Garrison Brothers released the first single-barrel bourbon from Texas. This barrel was distilled in 2011, was aged for three years and has a rich texture and notes of vanilla, butterscotch and caramel.<\/p>\n

Auchentoshan Blood Oak<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Auchentoshan<\/p>\n

Released for global travel retail, Auchentoshan Blood Oak has been matured in a combination of bourbon and red-wine casks. Spicy with notes of red fruit and ginger.<\/p>\n

The One British Blended Whisky – Sherry finish<\/a><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

This limited-edition release of The One comes from the team at the Lakes Distillery. A blend of whiskies from around the British Isles, this was finished in oloroso sherry hogsheads at the fledgling Cumbrian distillery and released in 2015.<\/p>\n

Mackmyra M\u00f6torhead (RIP Lemmy…)<\/a><\/p>\n

Aged in new American oak barrels for five years, part of the blend was finished in oloroso sherry casks for six months. Fruity and spicy with herbaceous and nutty notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
