  1. NEW RELEASE ALERT‼️ Ardbeg 10 Year Old Cask Strength - Committee Release Whisky 🥃 𝙰𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 📝 : Created in response to years of requests from Ardbeg’s loyal Committee, this special edition takes the distillery’s classic Ten and presents it in its most natural, undiluted form. Matured for 10 years in hand-selected American oak ex-bourbon casks, including barrels filled at an unusually high spirit strength, the whisky is drawn straight from the cask without reduction, allowing the full weight of oak and peat to speak for itself. By bottling the spirit at cask strength, Ardbeg showcases the raw intensity of its Islay character and the deeper wood interaction that comes from higher-strength maturation. It’s a purer snapshot of the distillery’s smoky house style, shaped only by time, oak and the island’s coastal warehouses. Released exclusively for Committee members, this edition honours both Ardbeg’s 200-year heritage and the devoted community that helped bring it to life. ❄️ Non Chill Filtered 🖍 Natural Colour 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚝𝚑 💪 : 61.7% 𝙲𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚛 🌈 : Light Gold 𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎👃🏼 : Fruity and coastal, light lemongrass, green apples, salty sea breeze, red fruits, vanilla pod and charred oak 𝚃𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎 👅 : Strong sweet vanilla flavours accompanied by huge lashings of burnt ashy oak unveiling pineapple chunks, bitter dark chocolate, orange peel and black pepper 𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑 🏁 : Oak ashes, dry fruit peels, saline and vanilla 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 💭 : Ardbeg 10 but on volume 11, this cask strength version really packs a punch in both power and flavour. It is hard hitting but it really delivers some great flavours and complexity with it. It’s something that fans have been asking for, for a while, it’s just a shame it’s taken so long for it to arrive. If you’re interested in it you’ll only have a little longer to wait as this committee release is available from the 24th February 2026 and will retail at around £75 𝚂𝚕à𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎! @ardbeg @ardbeg_usa // Gifted

  3. Glengoyne 16 Year Old Mizunara Oak Whisky 🥃 So I recently was unable to attend the Glengoyne event where they showcased this release largely due to not being invited 👀 Fortunately though somebody left a dram in a glass so I was lucky enough to be sent that and a photo of the bottle… all jokes aside, here’s the review. 𝙰𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 📝 : Part of Glengoyne’s Oak Masters’ Series, this release was aged for 16 years with a two stage wood journey: for the first ten years the spirit matured in classic first fill sherry and refill bourbon casks, laying the firm foundation, then spent a six year finish in rare Mizunara oak casks from Hokkaidō. (Mizunara is prized Japanese oak that’s notoriously difficult to work with due to its grain, moisture and cost.) This careful maturation shows how the mellow fruit led character of Glengoyne can be elevated by the fragrant woods, sandalwood, soft vanilla and blossom that Mizunara brings to the mix. ❄️ Non Chill Filtered 🖍 Natural Colour 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚝𝚑 💪 : 53.4% 𝙲𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚛 🌈 : Burnt Copper 𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎👃🏼 : Great nose, all those typical Glengoyne notes are floating around, caramel chocolates, cinnamon, fruit cake and then you’re hit with with a wave of oak spices, pineapple chunks, watermelon and strawberry laces. There’s an undertone of liquorice too. It’s a complex nose! 𝚃𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎 👅 : Delightful, the flavours transform in your mouth from vibrant oak spice, sharp pineapple, sweet chocolate truffles, vanilla pod, black treacle, coffee grinds and cinnamon 𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑 🏁 : More treacle with that liquorice we had in the nose, dry fruits and leftover Christmas cake with custard 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 💭 : I’m not going to lie, I expected this to be gimmicky and disappointing but it is honestly a fantastic whisky. I was pretty impressed with the complexity in this one and it feels like it changes with each sip. It’s such a shame on the price point though, £300 rrp, ouch, did Mizunara oak really cost that much to import in 2019 or whenever it was!? It’s nice but not £300 nice. 𝚂𝚕à𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎! @glengoyne // Gifted

  3. Did you know that today NATIONAL IRISH COFFEE WEEK starts?? . If you can’t drink it this coming week, remember that you can still celebrate 🎉it on January 25th for National Irish Coffee Day. . Irish Coffee is a classic cocktail served warm prepared with hot coffee, sugar, and Irish Whiskey 🥃 stirred and topped with thick cream. . This delicious recipe was invented in 1940’s by Joe Sheridan a chef turned bartender while was working in a restaurant & coffee shop in the Foynes airport, in Ireland. Joe decided to add Irish Whiskey to hot coffee to warm a group of American passengers disembarking on a cold and wet winter evening. The story goes that when an American passenger first drunk it he asked “Is it Brazilian coffee?” in which Sheridan replied “No, that’s Irish coffee”. . . We created something twisted on Irish Coffee back in the past at Mr Fogg’s Residence using a Royal Vienna Balance Coffee Maker which is a wonderful machine, not only does it make great brewed coffee but it is also a journey into science and a visual spectacle using gravity and vacuum principles. . . THE ROYAL COFFEE MAKER Hennessy Fine de Cognac Irish Whiskey Luxardo Maraschino Cocoa coffee blend Orange peel🍊 Chocolate bitters Topped with Mascarpone foam . .

  1. It’s been one hell of a week in Melbourne, and has taken me a little while to process. Standing on the World Barista Stage was somewhere i never imagined I would be - so to come 3rd in the world is utterly mind blowing to me. What a journey. There are so many people to thank; if I miss any names please forgive me - just know that I appreciate each and every person who has helped along this journey. My team on the ground @marklowbar and @roosalyydia - your contribution deserves a post in itself, so for now I will just say thank you. Endlessly thank you. @fincalanegrita for the MOST stunning coffee - again, worthy of its own post! Thank you @assemblyroast for always having my back ❤️ and thank you to @thegentlemenbaristas for your huge support of our team ❤️ All the wonderful people who sat through run throughs (both good ones and horrific ones!) - @ian_kissick , @m.jajszczok , @baristasaurus13 @edyarnton , @josh.tarlo , @paul_ross_ , @lisalauraverhoest , @alezen90 , @sanjibrews , @stphnhstn and more - thank you for shaping the routine and polishing the rough edges. Everyone in Melbourne who helped us when we got there - team @7seedscoffee for all your support and making us feel at home, @st_ali for the training space and @pullingcorks for your generosity in using your space @caretakers.cottage Lastly; as I said in Melbourne many times, I feel incredibly lucky to be part of the UK coffee community. The support we have had has been unmatched and we COULD NOT have done this without the UK community. To everyone who loaned us things (@dhantamang1 , @danfellows1 @deezwillies , @formativecoffee , @themorgancam , @goodandpropertea , @brewedbyhand )to everyone who participated in our fundraiser, to everyone who donated to our Kofi - THANK YOU. Every one of you was instrumental to this journey and I hope we did you proud ❤️ @worldcoffeechampionships #wbc2022 #barista #melbourne #mice

  2. 🇯🇵A DREEEEAM AT THE SUNTORY YAMAZAKI🇯🇵 In my opinion, this is the ULTIMATE, GREATEST, and DREAMIEST whisky pilgrimage of all time. It’s 5780 miles from home, it’s crazy super exclusive, and, it’s the YAMAZAKI!? Having @themaltboy working for Suntory made it a hell of a lot easier for a tour! Usually, you have to enter a ballot and then on the small chance you’re lucky and it works with your plans, you may visit. Starting off in Tokyo, we took the train, and then it’s about a 10 minute walk from the Yamazaki train station. It’s in a super local village, so no wonder it’s so limited as they won’t want the tourism. You can’t even enter the grounds without a reservation! We met our friend, Shinji, at the gates and he showed us to the Yamazaki bar first. Here we tried a 12 year old flight which included the 12 year old and two cask samples of the Mizunara and the Spanish Oak which makes up the 12 year old. We also had a distillery exclusive dram, which was made using their own Peated malt and matured in Sherry, sooooo delish!! We then went around the distillery, seeing the wooden washbacks, the direct fired stills, and the warehouse where the magic happens. I found a 1994 cask (my birth year!) and Yamazaki’s OLDEST 001 cask. There was also some super old whisky behind a screen which we couldn’t see, but was stowed away under lock & key…. The first EVER pot still in Japan, installed at the Yamazaki in 1923 was also on display outside. We came away with a couple of distillery exclusive Yamazaki’s, small batch Yamazaki’s and lots of other distillery exclusive gooooodies!🥃🥃 Ps, do you think @themaltboy was excited on our walk from the train station🤭🥃 . . . #whiskycollection #whiskycollector #yamazakiwhisky #japanesewhisky #whiskyofinstagram #friends #whiskylover #whiskygram #whiskyporn #whiskylife #whiskyblog #whiskyblogger #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #yamazaki #scotch #whiskygirl #womeninwhisky #womenwhowhisky #womenwhowhiskey #instadram #whiskyreview #photooftheday #travel #dramtastic #instacommunity #suntory #thankful #suntorywhisky #picoftheday
