G&M tasting: Ardmore, Caol Ila, Glenlossie, Miltonduff & Mortlach

Gordon & MacPhail Tasting 

hosted by the "Whisky & More" shop 

in Hasselt (Belgium) 


Last weekend I attended a whisky tasting in my own hometown Hasselt, where only last year the first whisky shop opened its doors.
As for now they haven't got much to offer the seasoned whisky drinker. But it takes some time for an independent shop holder to acquire a decent stock of exclusive and rare bottles that sets them apart from the local supermarkets.

Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, Laphroaigh & Big Peat

A handful of Douglas Laings


My laziness knows no bounds, the tasting was on Wednesday, it took me two days to finally rewrite my notes into a solid review.
First and foremost, my gratitude goes out to The Whisky Wire and the good folks at Douglas Laing, for putting this great selection of whiskies together.
As part of the Big Peat tweet tasting we descended unto the queen of the Hebrides and got our fair share of isle's liquid riches. Thus easing the pain of not being able to partake in the Feis Ile festivities.
