MALT OF THE MONTH COLUMN
Carn Mor Strictly Limited Williamson 6yo – 46%
East Lothian locals and visitors from all over the world swarm to Lockett Brothers of North Berwick every year and upon arrival will discover an incredible array of fine wines and in my opinion one of the best handpicked ranges of malt whisky in Scotland. I first met...
Kilchoman Sanaig
Perfect time for a Malt of the Month column having just returned from a three day cycle adventure around Kintyre, Islay and Arran visiting many of the great distilleries. Having visited ten distilleries and tasting around forty whiskies the tricky thing now is to pick...

Carn Mor Strictly Limited Glentauchers 5yo – 46%
My Month of the month on this occasion my surprise one or two folk, a Glentauchers 5 year old Single Sherry cask (£40). This would have surprised me a year or so ago but since then we come across many single malts equally youthful but utterly brilliant. It again...
