That’s why I like Speyside; it’s unpeated or only very lightly so. You get malt and wood notes without that smoky burnt note from the peat, which I also dislike. Glenlivet makes some lovely bottlings. They had one called Nádurra (they still do but each numbered batch is different from the last) of which I am particularly fond. Cask strength of about 55% too.

This might sound odd but as much as I don't like whisky myself I do have an interest in the process and the product itself, I had intended to go on the whisky trail this year, the talk of peaty, woody, heather, honey chocolaty, raspberry and vanilla etc etc interest me.. Yes I've read the tasting notes from the tasting reviews and I wanted see if I could taste beyond just fire water (blasphemy apologies lol)
I watched a film on TV called the Angels share that was what started me having a small interest in in, i can't help think maybe I'm missing something?
Have you seen the movie by chance?
It's no block buster but there's some great humour in it.

Never even heard of it.
Do the distilleries have tasting rooms for visitors? I could see doing that as a holiday.

I was never really interested in it till I meet a now good friend. He kinda showed me the ropes a little and got my interest sparked. So many different things influence the flavors. Even an ice cube not just because it can mellow it down a bit with water....but the temp change lightens it up.

Jim Beam and Makers Mark offer tastings at their distilleries. It is likely others do as well.

When we went through the samples were free poured shots. Limited to 1 sample from each of 3 flavors being peddled that day.
Just enough to make me mad.

Yes you get to taste the various whiskies if you like, afaik there free and easy with it?
I was intending visiting this year but due to circumstances it was cancelled but I'll ask my dad to be sure.

Fwiw the angels share is the amount that naturally evaporates through the barrel

That's why I was going to try the whisky trail, there's to much hype about whisky for it to be just another drink and feel I might be missing out on something?
I did drink a few Royal lochnagars single malt one night and enjoyed it.... Erm I'm ashamed to say that I drunk it with coke, :ashamed:

You must be a photographer of some kind, a professional keen amateur maybe?
I'm no expert but I can tell they photos are far more than just snapshots, they're are absolutely stunning photos, catching that essence isn't easy, brilliant work.

I’m just a casual observer of a life not mine.

She's a stunner!
