Well-known Talisker distillery is located at the island of Skye in the north part of Inner Hebrides. Now it’s owned by Diageo and is a part of Diageo’s «Classic Malts» series.
10 years old single malt whisky is most affordable Talisker bottling and, at the same time, most peated whisky produced at Talisker distillery. It can’t match against Islay heavy peated whisky but definitely has sharp peat notes in the taste.
After New Year I felt I need a break in my long season of whisky and gin consumption. For me, the best way to forget about single malts or gin-based cocktails is to create new and unusual cocktail using exotic components.
This time I’ve took Van Gogh Açai-Blueberry Vodka for my next exercise.
When I bought this spirit, I’ve visited Van Gogh Vodka website and get disappointed with it. Recipe I saw there were too dull and trite. So since that time I started to make my own cocktails with Van Gogh Açai-Blueberry Vodka.
This is my third Belgian beer review including two ales – light and dark and one witbier.
The first and the second review are also available.
Here is the document I started almost a year ago. That became something like a ritual. When buying new single malt whisky, I eventually ended up using the whisky in this magnificent cocktail.
Now I told myself to stop and to write this post. I’m continuing with buying and drinking Scotch whisky but I need to comprehend all my emotions and experience. And for me, the best way to do it is to write about it.
All that started when I was browsing Imbibe website. I’ve took many ideas from there, and The Remaining Balance cocktail recipe by Jason Littrell was one of them.
Imagine a mixture of Grand Marnier, two single malt whiskies, amaro and two bitters. Sophisticated bizarre mix? Not for me! My love to Scotch whisky and experimenter ‘s itch gave me no chances to leave the cocktail unnoticed.
Очередная коктейльная интернет-вечеринка состоится 17-20 марта.
