I was invited as guest speaker at a online tasting hosted by Vault of Spirit a Danish web shop.
We tasted 6 whiskies with different expressions and had 480 participants sitting at home enjoying some good whisky and talk provided by Daniel The Whisky Viking, Benedikte (the owner of Vault of Spirits) and me.

Bunnahabhain mainly make unpeated whisky – actually 65% is unpeated, so that leaves 35% for the peated whisky and when they smoke, they smoke heavy.

Wilson & Morgan is an independent bottler of Scotch malt whisky and have been selecting casks for bottling since 1992. You can get a little disorientated by the name and think Wilson & Morgan is English or Scottish but they are Italian. Maybe I will tell about Independent bottlers in another post. I love the saying or rule the Wilson & Morgan CEO Fabio Rossi follows when he chooses the different casks: “Trust your palate and your instinct.” – This is what is all about.

I like Bunnahabhain whiskies and this one is no exception, But it is very classic to the Islay style. I think if I had this one and an Ardbeg “Wee Beastie” that also has been matured for 5 years in ex-bourbon casks, I don’t think I can tell the difference. Well maybe I should try that one day.

This is a easy drinking young peated whisky and if you are liking Islay whiskies, you will like this one as well. What can I say – Just do it ๐Ÿ˜‰
Give it a few drops of water and you tame it a little.

I believe this one was rated the evenings top whisky from the participants.

Behind the name Whisky Adventurer is Lars Modvig Hesselberg. In short, I enjoy immersing myself in all aspects of the whisky world. I enjoy the stories, the people, the scents, the development, the taste, the variety, the big ones, the small ones, the distilleries and much more. Telling and passing on knowledge and experiences through speech, writing and pictures is a big part of the whole experience for me.
