Whisky Review 6 - Glenfiddich 12 Year Old

Glenfiddhich, a name that is known throughout the world.

Glenfiddich was, until recently, the world's best selling single malt whisky. A Speyside distillery that effectively started the Whisky obsession for many whisky fans and who are touted to have been the first company to actively market their single malt with target branding in the  1960's. The rest is history.

Owned by William Grant and Son who also own Balvenie and Kininvie, the 12 year old is a staple both on shop shelves and whisky cabinets from Aberdeen to Swaziland.

Malt Music

A popular Speysider of this pedigree with it's light and fruity notes matches perfectly with a good upbeat remix from 2 pedigree artists. It's fruity all right, it's Tutti Frutti by New Order (Hot Chip Remix)!

Whisky Review 3 Benromach 30 Year Old

For the final review in the Benromach miniseries I take a look at the Benromach 30 Year Old.

Matured for 30 Years in a mixture of refill and first fill sherry casks this is a dram that demands time and attentions, and quite rightly so,

The whisky was distilled during the ownership of United Distillers (which in time formed Diageo) prior to Gordon and MacPhail's purchase of the distillery in 1993.

Malt Music

This whisky makes you want to work your way deeper into your chair and turn down the lights. What music could do this better then Mogwai's 'Happy Face' from the Album Les Revenants

Whisky Review 1: Benromach 5 Year Old

Hi everyone,

Thanks for coming along and watching this video. This is the first review of the recently reformed Malt Box blog so I hope you enjoy it.

The Benromach 5yo from Speyside's smallest distillery is widely available online at specialist retailers and many local wine and spirit merchants who have Gordon & MacPhail stock and makes for a great mid week sipper.

Malt Music:

With this young and honest whisky I can see no better song to accompany this dram than Nirvana's Come as You Are (Unplugged). A perfect accompaniment to this fine and honest whisky.

Cheers
