Glayva Scotland

Tasting Notes: This exotic liqueur is a fusion of aged Scotch malt whiskies, spices, cinnamon, tangerines and honey; the result is a distinctive flavourful liqueur. A smooth, easy to drink liqueur with warming hints of cinnamon, tangerines and honey. Perfect for chilly evenings spent in good company, or even relaxing alone.

Price: $43.49

Highland Park 12 Year Old Viking Honour Scotland

Tasting Notes: As a West Highlander, this Highland Whisky from Orkney does not disappoint. Nose: Gentle, but quite sweet and fruity with touches of apricot, granulated sugar, orange peels, marmalade and a touch of tobacco. Just a tinge of fennel in the background. The smoke is almost non-existent. Taste: More recognisable as Highland Park now. Subtle, yet refreshing smoke. Green-ish in a way. A hint of white pepper, cereals, oak spices and oranges, as well as a more herbacious side. Mouthfeel is on the thinner side. Finish: Medium length with spicy oak, some ginger and a touch of honey. Soft fruits too.

Price: $94.00

Oban Little Bay SIngle Malt Whisky Scotland

Tasting Notes: Oban Little Bay is everything that Oban 14 is, and more. A rich, fruity, malty nose showcases dried apricot, dark chocolate, and salt. On the palate, Little Bay explodes with flavor, combining malt with orange, chocolate, and blackberry. Clove and oak spice join the party in the mid-palate, which shows superb balance and integration. A long, slightly dry, citrusy spice finish caps off a stunning whisky.

Price: $115.99

Waterford Hook Head Irish Whisky Ireland

Tasting Notes: I'm a Scottish dog, so don't usually choose an Irish Whiskey! But I like Waterford. Probably because their whiskies are made by a Scot who originated at Bruichladdich on Islay. My Westie nose detected lovely aromas of earthy maltiness & fresh soil, citrus peel, bread crust, clove, white pepper, caramel, milk chocolate, salted popcorn, barnyard, oak green foliage. It's a spice bomb on the palate with cloves, white pepper, salted caramel, liqorice, ginger biscuits, lemon zest, & chilli chocolate. Finish: Dry, but it leaves a lasting oiliness that holds the spiciness for a long time.

Price: $104.99

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 Years Scotland

Tasting Notes: I know I picked The Glenmorangie Nectar D'or last month, but I had to show you this one too! It has flavours that are forbidden to dogs (chocolate, peppermint!) but I've smelled these delicious things in the house and thought what harm can they do if they're nuanced in a whisky? Quinta Ruban is aged 14 years in bourbon casks and Portuguese Port casks. "The finished whisky is a thicket of voluptuous flavour combinations. Walnut and black pepper. Mandarin orange and melted marshmallow. Dark chocolate bar and peppermint. Like stepping into a chocolate-minty-orange unknown, the journey is as delicious as the destination." Yum and woof!

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 years Scotland

Tasting Notes: My Hoomans were invited to a Glenmorangie Tasting with Brian Simpson, Brand Ambassador this week. Not sure what happened to my invitation! I would have had no trouble understanding his Scottish Brogue! Dark, sweet and luxurious, this is a true delight for the senses. Quinta Ruban is hands-down my favorite of the Glenmorangie core line up and solidifying the 4 year finishing has done nothing but deepen the profile and bring more nuance to the whisky.

Yellow Spot Irish Whiskey Ireland

Tasting Notes: I know what you're thinking...... I'm a wee white dog choosing a whisky named Yellow Spot! We hounds enjoy sniffing yellow spots - get a lot of information on who's in the neighborhood! But a Scottish dog choosing an Irish Whiskey is even funnier! However, to honour our Irish cousins and recognize they too make lovely whiskies, I've selected this one as it's quite delicious. From County Cork, 46 ABV, single pot still, aged 12 years in ex Bourbon, Sherry & Malaga casks. On the nose - sweet barley, and floral with vanilla, honey and orange blossom. Lavender and apricots, hints of baked pear and my favourite shortbread! It's silky and layered. Slightly dry and tannic, with hints of brown sugar and caramel.

Price: $125.99
