Feels like ages since I published a proper pairing. This is a the latest Pulitzer prize winner, matched up with the stunning Aberlour 16 year old. Check it out over on my blog 🥃🍻 #abookandadram #bookstagram #bookstagramfeatures #BookLovers #bibliophile #bookaddict #books #bookshelves #bookphotography #igreads #litfict #goodreads #whisky #scotch #singlemalt #instapic #instadram #pulitzer #pulitzerprize #aberlour #dreamdram #productphotography #potd #pentax #slavery #undergroundrailroad #blacklit (at Chester, Cheshire)

It's the another malty moment at the @twewhiskyshow at London. When Mr. @colindunnwhisky is offering you an outstanding dram like this, you just CAN'T say 'no, thank you'! Anyway, @jalapenos808 and myself, we said 'YES, PLEASE!' and we were amazed. I fully agree with Colin - whisky is all about the people, opinions and exploration. As a result of it, simply outstanding whisky can develop an unforgettable experience (thanks to people like @colindunnwhisky ) but at the same time, more basic drams, if well presented and 'sold' by the right people, can stay on your mind for a long time. Whisky is all about passion and people, remember that! Thanks to those truly passionate people @twewhiskyshow in Ldn is - in my opinion - the most interesting whisky festival we've attended this year. Port Ellen 16th release; Nose: sweet! Salty wood notes mixed with the lemon grass and nuts/almonds. Polish leather and tobacco. Palate: dark chocolate, black currant, red apples and vanilla notes covered with the campfire and salt. A beautiful, oily body. Fantastic stuff. Finish: veeeery long finish will make you remember about the dram for about few hours after trying it. Wood, smoke and chocolate notes again. Port Elen - one of the most collectible distillery in the world. Is it worth the price? It depends on your taste profile but..Definitely worth trying for every Malty Head out here! Just make sure you're going to share it with the company you enjoy! #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #whiskygram #scotchwhisky #whiskyporn #whiskytasting #diageo #portellen #portellendistillery #raremalts #whiskyoftheweek #maltyheads #peat #islaywhisky #lagavulin200 #london #dreamdram #whiskyshow2016 #whiskyshow #whiskycollection #whisky #whisky (w: The Old Billingsgate)

Here we go Malty Heads. My first #dreamdram at @twewhiskyshow today, Ben Riach 40yo, peated. I spent about two hours with this whisky sitting in the glass and I must say, it was a very pleasurable time. Every single minute. What a complex whisky it is. Much sweeter than I expected. Loads of tropical fruits, bananas and honey infused cereals on the nose with the gentle smoke/peat hidden in the background. On the palate you'll get some sherry notes, raisons, black currant, polished leather and some really intense good quality oak character. Finish is very long and complex, great combination of the nose and the palate, mixed with some campfire notes. Peat suits this speyside whisky really well! Outstanding dram! @twewhiskyshow thanks for another, great tasting session! @twewhiskyshow #benriach #whisky #whiskytasting #whiskyporn #whiskygram #scotchwhisky #singlemaltwhisky @whiskyexchange #whiskyoftheweek #singlemalt #singlemalt (w: oldbillingsgate)
