💥 Late night long review of the Triple Peat from @chattwhiskey Listen, this has to be one of the craziest yet delicious and balanced and well crafted whiskies I’ve had this year. It was nothing like I expected, but exactly what I wanted. Well done @chattwhiskey , this is a beaut! And thank you @chattanoogachuckd for the blessing! #chattanooga #chattanoogawhiskey #chattwhiskey #peat #peatedmalt #peatedcask #islay #peatedwhisky #bourbon #visitchattanooga #tennesseewhiskey #whiskeyreview

💚 @starwardwhisky x @lagavulinwhisky This is hands down my favorite @starwardwhisky I have tasted, and that’s saying a lot because I’ve very much enjoyed every Starward I’ve tasted over the years. This is a big ol’ peaty tropical fruit salad with some smoked Maldon sea salt on top, and it’s freaking delicious! To secure your chance to purchase, you must enter into the ballot by 4/9 and I’ll add the link into my stories! Thank you @starwardwhiskyus for this absolute treat! #starward #starwardwhisky #starwardaustralianwhisky #australiagram #australianwhisky #australia #redwinecask #peat #peatedcask #peatedsinglemalt #singlemalt #whiskyreview #lagavulin #islay #islaycask #peated #lagavulincask

@thejorell and I just had the pleasure of tasting @shakara.rum and it was so good I had to tell you about it! Aged for 12 years in ex-bourbon casks in the central province of Nakhon Pathom in Thailand, this viscous and additive and coloring free rum is a viscous treat on the palate! The nose is over ripened banana and prune twizzlers, with a waft of leather and saddle soap, followed by candied apple with nuts. The palate sings all of those notes straight into your gullet with more banana mash and leather. The finish is dry and lovely and just completes this tasty little treat in the perfect way! Rum is something I’m still exploring and to have the opportunity to taste this is pretty freaking cool, and cements the fact that I have a lot more exploring to do. ❤️ #shakararum #thailandrum #thailand #nakhonpathom #rum #newrum #rumreview

WHAT A WHISKY! The 14 year, PX Sherry @dlaingwhisky Ledaig (@tobermorydistillery ) for the @maisonduwhisky New Vibrations Collection is absolutely MENTAL! I’ve been a @dlaingwhisky fangirl for years now and this one does not disappoint (none of them have for me so far to be honest)! What a dense, rich, meaty, earthy and fruity delight of a whisky this is. And that mouthfeel 🤤… Thank you @thejorell for bringing me along for the ride and surprising me with this! It’s no secret you keep getting invited back to @tattooplanetarium . You and your work, much like this whisky are very very special. 🩵 #ledaig #tobermory #ledaigwhisky #lamaisonduwhisky #newvibrations #singlecask #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #peat #douglaslaing #oldparticular #caskstrength #whiskyreview

It’s giving musty red grapes on an old wooden bench that’s been recently oiled, stuck inside of an extra dusty dunnage warehouse in the height of summer. It’s divine! @duncantaylorscotchwhisky @shand_import #shandimport #duncantaylorscotchwhisky #aultmore #aultmoredistillery #singlecask #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #octave #octavecask #sherrycask

Wow wow wow, thank you @martingalecognac and @corkknife for this stunning delivery! I can not wait to dive into this! ✨ #cognac #martingale #martingalecognac #france #visitfrance #cognaclover

I fell in love with @echlinville on my trip with @invest_ni ! Located on the stunning 23 acre Echlinville Estate, this family owned, grain to glass distillery is making some seriously exceptional whiskies. Every single drop I tasted I was just enamored with from the farmy vanilla Greek yoghurt new make to the lush and hella viscous Tawny Port cask I had the pleasure of burgling! They grow all of their grain in Portaferry and even go as far as to floor malt said grain and send it on a low and slow journey of distillation. On top of their Echlinville portfolio, they also brought back @dunvillesirishwhiskey which fell silent in 1936. I had the pleasure of tasting a few of these and they are all stunning! Dunville’s is sourced liquid + their own spirit and it undergoes an extensive finishing process. And extra bonus points is that it’s completely transparent! And lastly the @oldcomber brand has too been brought back to life after 70 years of silence, which is pot still deliciousness and one you should definitely try if you find it! With the distillery crafting their own exceptional whiskies (and gin and poitin!) they too have brought back some of the lost whiskey brands of Ireland! So they are not only preserving the rich distilling history of Ireland, but they are also making a very rich history of their own. Please go out and try any of these remarkable whiskies from @echlinville @dunvillesirishwhiskey and @oldcomber , I promise you won’t be disappointed! And if you find yourself in Ireland, go visit! Thank you @peter.rogan.1441 for the amazing hospitality and for putting even more love for Irish whiskey in my heart! #investnishowcase #echlinville #echlinvilledistillery #whiskey #northerireland #irishwhiskey #dunvilles #oldcomber #presstrip #distilleryvist #fortheloveofirishwhiskey #ireland #visitnorthernireland

Dusty funky melons in dungeons! The new Teeling Very Rare Cask in Pineau des Charentes is a 33 year old beauty! Big juicy melon with all the musty and dusty notes makes this a dreamy dram! I had no idea what Pineau des Charentres was and now I want more whiskies in this cask type! Many thanks to the team at @teelingwhiskey for this opportunity! And if you fancy learning more and Pineau, please visit @pineau_academy ! #teeling #irishwhiskey #fortheloveofirishwhiskey #pineaudescharentes #cognac #whiskeyreview #whiskey #veryrarecask #teelingveryrarecask #dublin #visitdublin #ireland

It’s even more magical than I imagined! When we arrived at @killowendistillery (which is located in a @unesco geopark), we were welcomed by @brendan.carty.12 with Irish Coffees and Danny McGreevy playing the Uilleann pipes (which you are hearing now!) The distillery is surrounded by the lushest lands in an actual fairytale setting and with a view of Carlingford Lough. Truly a place of dreams! We sipped our coffees, had a wee tour and too had the pleasure of meeting @nearynogschocolate who makes some mouth watering chocolates before heading down to the barrel house for some tastes from a few casks! The distillery really is tiny, but is it mighty! The space is old and humble, it almost feels like you are going back into time, like the space was uncovered during an archaeological dig, with flame fired stills and stone walls, and even delicately weaved cobwebs adorning the corners. The barrel house too is tiny yet houses some whiskies that will truly blow your mind. I love the honest simplicity of the place, the people, the spirit. No bells and whistles, just really good people making some of the best whiskies I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. I know some of you may be sick of me waxing on about my love for this distillery, but I promise you there are very big things around the corner for them. I encourage you to get out and try their whiskies if you can, there is no denying that the spirit is world class. And if you ever have an opportunity to visit, bring some tissues as you’ll probably be a sobby mess when you leave, as it will fill you up with all the things you never knew you needed. More to come on this visit, but for now you just get me, in my feels, sharing my love for an incredible story and distillery. Oh, and they just won Production Team of the Year at Icons of Whisky Ireland! Well done @brendan.carty.12 and @killowenella !! Thank you @lovenifood for making this dream happen for me! I still can’t believe it happened! #investnishowcase #investni #fortheloveofirishwhiskey #visitnorthernireland #mournemountains #killowen #killowendistillery #irishwhiskey #distilleryvisit #whiskytravels #countydown #presstrip

Earlier this month I had the immense pleasure of attending a press trip to Northern Ireland by the incredibly kind and hospitable @invest_ni for their #investnishowcase. The entire trip was one of dreams, perfectly planned by some truly kind souls. It felt a true privilege to be there, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity. I’ll be sharing the highlights (it was all a highlight) with you all starting with a tasting at @friendathandbelfast set up by @belfasthiddentours ! Tucked away on a very quaint Hill Street sits one of the most beautiful shops (it’s more like a museum) I have ever stepped foot in. Owner Willie Jack (who loves all things old and vintage like me!) is not only preserving and telling the rich history of distilling in Belfast within those walls, but too proudly showcasing the absolute magic and history of all of Irish Whiskey. With over 600 Irish whiskies on deck, and only a fraction of them being for sale, this is unlike any place I have ever seen on my travels and cant recommend it enough. A true heaven for whiskey lovers! There are three adjoining rooms, and as you walk through them each, your mouth just falls to the floor as the rooms grow more and more impressive. In the back is a stunning tasting room where Paul of @belfastwhiskeyweek hosted a tasting of three exceptional drams. First up was a @mcconnellsirishwhisky_irl 5 year in ex-bourbon and oloroso! More on the story of this distillery to come but a lovely dram to start with! Then came Journey’s End, a 14 year @bushmillsirl in Amarone at 54% (this was DIVINE) super musty and velvety! And lastly a 20 year @dunvillesirishwhiskey in PX, which I’ll dive into more when I talk about @echlinville , although this was from Cooley and so rich and ooey-gooey delicious! I can’t recommend a visit to @friendathandbelfast enough on your journey in Belfast. Ask for Ray who so proudly shares SO much love and knowledge on the history of whiskey making in Belfast. I promise you will leave with a big smile and maybe less money in your pocket, but with a whole new love for Irish whiskey! #investnorthernireland #belfast #visitbelfast #whiskey #irishwhiskey #whiskeytravel #whiskeygram

This has been such an incredible week learning about the magic of Irish whiskey. As if my love for the category and people could possibly grow more, this week has filled my heart with so much gratitude and joy. This community is truly so special, it’s hard to put into words. More to come on these! Massive thanks to the @invest_ni team and the one and only @lovenifood ! I’m leaving with a very full heart. ♥️ #investnishowcase #investni #northernireland #belfast #irishwhiskey #whiskey #distillerytour #mcconnellsirishwhisky #echlinvilledistillery #rademonestatedistillery #killowendistillery #hinchdistillery #titanicdistillers #twostackswhiskey #friendathand #killeavycastle #presstrip
