- A trip to Singapore with three whisky sampling stops
- Jaunt to London, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto with one more stop to come in London before returning home to Mumbai
Monsoon June tasting trio (Whisky Lady)
Our June tasting session featured remarkable whiskies from three countries:
- Ireland – Tullamore Dew Phoenix 55% – Does a little jig on your palate with fruity sweetness and spice
- American – Westland Cask No 395 Hand Filled 54.6% – Remarkable craft whisky chock full of creativity and character!
- Scotland – Ledaig 18 year 46.3% – A meaty peaty Isle of Mull offering….
La Maison du Whisky Singapore (Whisky Lady)
My Singapore adventures were chock full of whisky sampling fun:
- Tour of the remarkable collection at The Auld Alliance plus two sampling sets of whiskies from Scotland and the world!
- Stop by La Maison du Whisky (LMDW) where I swished around a few samples including two Compass Box offerings
- Great King Street Glasgow Blend – More robust and rich than Artist’s Blend
- Juveniles – A playful romp
- Quaich bar where we tried a disappointing Glenglassaugh Torfa and the yummy Hazelburn 12 year
Compass Box Trilogy
The LMDW stop lead to a flashback to an earlier Compass Box trilogy:
- Great King Street – Artist’s Blend – A lighter, politer cousin of the Glasgow Blend
- Spice Tree – Delicious!
- The Peat Monster – Deceptively approachable for so much peat
My May sampling of another Irish whiskey – Teeling – also prompted reminiscing about our Jameson evening. It is always great fun to have a country or region focus to a tasting session.
The delightful surprise of the month was the Westland and I won’t repeat the Glenglassaugh Torfa.
In July, expect more tasting notes on the amazing whiskies sampled at The Auld Alliance and adventures from our Canada / UK trip.
Just for a teaser… check out what my aunt and uncle brought for lucky me… a “small” sampling set from their whisky collection. Do they know their niece or what??
Canada gift! (Whisky Lady)
