Best in Blog #23: Whisky News and Tasting Notes on the Web
Tasting Notes from Bloggers We Trust:
- Edinburgh Whisky has a Quick Dram of Balvenie 14 Golden Cask.
- Whisky for Everyone has the goods on the 2009 release everyone is waiting for: Laphroaig 18.
- Drink Hacker reviews Powers Gold Label Irish Whisky.
- Ruben finds that the Balblair 1997 (OB) exceeds expectations (which were admittedly low). He also tries a heavily sherried Glenfarclas 39 (Whisky Agency) and concludes that it is greater than the sum of its parts.
- Scotch Hobbyist goes wild with a Ben Nevis 13 (Wild Scotsman). Still really digging his new ratings system too.
- Wow. A peated, Jamaican dark rum-finished dram of Benriach 12 sounds delicious.
