A blog devoted to news on the world of Scotch Malt Whisky and Whiskey
From the category archives:
Brightcove is an Internet TV platform. In one way they’re great, in an other they suck.
They are great because they published this episode where chocolatier Paul Young explains why chocolate and whisky make a perfect combination. They suck because I cannot embed it here and have to send you along to their site.
But anyway, here is the link. Enjoy!

While surfing around for some whisky stuff I landed on the IslayBlog.com who had just posted a yummy recipe on Islay Single Malt Whisky Chocolate Chip Shortbread
The IslayBlog is a blog about the Isle of Islay run by Armin Grewe, a regular visitor to the Island. The blog is about anything Islay related, so it’s more to it than whisky. But if you’re an Islay fan, it’s well worth a read.
Yesterday Armin posted an interesting recipe on Chocolate Chip Shortbread. Being an Islay fan as he is there is of course some Islay whisky in it. In his case he poured some Laproaigh in to it.
So, head on over to the IslayBlog.com and get ready for some serious whisky cooking.

In an effort to involve more people in the selection for potential bottlings Cadenhead have decided to have different Tasting Panels try out the selection of whiskies that have been selected. The Tasting Panels will decide if the whiskies are of a sufficiently excellent quality and make tasting notes for these whiskies.
The first event was held through their shop in Amsterdam and was a great success with 12 people tasting and giving their opinions on 12 whiskies which are potentially being bottled by Cadenhead’s in May.
The Tasting panel consisted of:
Andries Visser
Andre Van Der Zwet
Michel Van Meersbergen
Johannes Van Der Heuvel
Robin Brilleman
Joep Van Drunen
Frank de Winter
Marcel Pfeifer
Joop Pfeifer
Hjalmar Wolvekamp
Johannes De Jong
Erik Van Frachem
Tasting Notes will follow shortly on Cadenhead’s site.

Ran in to a recipe on Whisky Fudge over at PeatFreak.
Haven’t tried it yet so I can’t judge the fudge. If any of you makes some before me, feel free to comment and leave us a rating on the recipe.
The recipe is based on a dash of single malt. Peat Freak recommends something ‘heavy’ like an Aberlour A’Bunadh or Ardbeg 10 if you prefer something peaty.
