It’s February now and time to review my whisky stash. I love good coffee, red wine, fine chocolate and good whisky. I generally drink Scotch but have particularly enjoyed some French whisky recently and a rather fine single cask of Welsh whisky that was selected and bottled by SWS (Scottish Whisky Society); and I always have some Irish pot stilled whisky ready to pour a dram.
Currently my stash consists of 28 bottles unopened not counting the little 30ml sample bottles I have and 15 bottles open.
I think this year I will concentrate on reducing the open bottles and add a few of the new distilleries to my collection. I was particularly impressed by a Welsh whisky recently so I’ll also try a few English whiskies this year.
If you are ever in Lincoln and feel strong to make the climb up steep hill, there is a fine independent whisky shop in the Bailgate that’s worth a visit. The picture at the top of this post really does not do the hill justice. Its quite a climb.
