Glenfarclas is a typical Speyside sherry bomb. It's one of the largest distilleries of the Speyside whisky region. Why they specifically mention "Highland" on their labels is beyond me (although surely, the valley of Spey is within geographical Highlands).

True Speyside is within the Highlands, just the way they market it. I've a bottle of Glenrothes (which is Fife) but it's a Speyside......Anyway, what's in a name, they're all good

My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe,
My heart’s in the Highlands wherever I go. ​

A wee dram of a marvelous Highland malt to celebrate Burns Night (and also my mother's birthday). Cheers!

We've had a nice comparison of Loch Lomond whiskies.

Accidentally they're' lined up according to my personal preferences. With 17 being the most interesting one.

Behind the scenes: Oban 14, Bowmore 18.

My recent haul. The turquoise one is the first to be uncorked.

Something new for me in the guise of a non Scottish single malt

So opened this tonight and was very, very pleasantly surprised! A little fruity but oh so smooth. Don’t think I have ever had a Whiskey like it. Quite delicate but with enough of a punch to remind you that it’s a full on Whiskey.

I tried to source a bottle of this locally... unfortunately, sol out for the time being. But, I will give it a try!

I would recommend it. It’s made by top 5!

Wow! I wonder if their Founder's Choice is even better...

Might need a further investment!
