They only use the heart of the distillate so the head and tail isn't used. Greenspot is more cask driven. 1st fill bourbon barrels and sherry casks. Less about the distillate so the cuts are wider.

First four reviews are done and will be Knappogue Castle 1951, Bushmills 2008 Muscatel, Talisker 10 and Teeling Blackpitts. I'll wait till I have a few more and I'll launch it in January. Two big interests apart from reviews will be updates on new releases and I'll also do a monthly roundup of auction sites and trend prices etc. I'll have to check those apps out. Although it's slowed down a bit recently there was so many tastings going on it was hard to keep with what was being consumed.

Already have a full Talisker 10 ready for when the current eone is empty, and Tesco had raised the ask to 35. I took the Cardhu 12 (really liked that last year) and the black barrel. Black barrel only because it has become something of an everyday one for me and it really is rather nice for 25 or 30 euro.

I'm not generally a fan of cocktails, but on holiday last year, I discovered the glorious "Rusty Nail" 2 parts scotch 1 part Drambuie Over ice. I think any blended scotch will do. I used Teachers. Delicious! Other alternatives... Smoky Nail (with Islay) or Rusty Bob (with Bourbon)
