#Glenlivet 15 and a #CheesePlatter - what an amazing way to spend #FathersDay. Cheese does an excellent job is accentuating the flavours. In particular the sweet toffee notes and hints of peppery spice. A #HappyFathersDay to all the wonderful dads. To all those that are missing their dads, you are in my thoughts. Cheers to the wonderful memories. . . . #kyandkey #tasting #whiskylover #whisky #whiskygram #whiskytasting #scotchwhisky #distillery #malt #glenlivet15 #whiskeybar #glenlivet18 #whiskeyporn #weekendwhisky #homebar #glenlivet25 #instawhisky #whiskylove #instawhiskey #whiskylife #cask #whisky_droid #whiskytime #whiskeybarrel #whiskey #sundaynight (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTb4yUwnab0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas with @westwardwhiskey. The Westward brand and range has grown significantly the last few years, deservedly so, it is the highest rated #SingleMalt American #whiskey on the market. After receiving this bottle I had a quick look at their gifting concierge feature on their site. Tick a few quick boxes about what the recipient likes and voila, the site recommends the perfect #whisky to gift. Great tasting drop without breaking the bank. Going to be a Westward Christmas for my friends! . . . #weekendwhisky #whiskybar #WestwardWhiskey #whiskycollection #whiskeycollection #WestwardGiftingConcierge #instadram #dram #liquidgold #bourbon #kyandkey #instareview #whiskyreview #scotch #slainte #whiskeyreview #singlemalt #singlecask #kanpai #whiskyporn #whiskygeek (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXDkBpvPCH4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Prepping for the #WorkingWeek with an excellent #SherryBomb. The #kavalan #solist always delivers and the sherry cask is excellent value. Fruity sweetness dominates while slight sulfar notes develop as the vapour hits your palate and is quickly drowned out by raisin and sherry sweetness with ginger spice that floats by ever so slightly with dark chocolate notes. Highly recommended! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead. . . . #weekendwhisky #sundaynight #kyandkey #whiskygram #cask #whiskylover #sundaydram #whisky #whiskytasting #scotchwhisky #malt #tasting #distillery #oak #whiskeybar #whiskeyporn #homebar #kavalansolist #whiskylove #taiwan #instawhisky #instawhiskey #whiskytime #whiskylife #whiskey #whiskeybarrel (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COpfweEMRO6/?igshid=1wiz8zo49z8ow

The OLD Old Pulteney 12! A wonderful entry level aged single malt. The nose is light, clean with a gentle whiff of spice dancing with sweet medicinal notes with hints of coastal saltiness. The palate, beautifully balanced with toffee and caramel sweetness, gentle peppery spice with salty notes. Finish I found short with hints of sweetness and oak. The newer release is a solid bottling too, though I did find the peppery notes to be stronger and less of the coastal notes. I prefer the older release. Have you tried both? Thoughts? . . . #weekendwhisky #kyandkey #oldpulteney #whiskygram #oldpulteney12 #whiskylover #oldpulteney17 #whisky #sundaynight #whiskytasting #scotchwhisky #sundaydram #malt #tasting #distillery #whiskeybar #whiskeyporn #kyandkey #homebar #whiskylove #instawhisky #instawhiskey #whiskylife #oak #whisky_droid #whiskytime #cask #whiskey #whiskeybarrel (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKbCsdtMlCh/?igshid=1mpnmw6x6j4st

Oban 14 and Talisker Skye, two coastal distilleries with very different profiles. Both have sweetness as base. Talisker is more fruity while the Oban has sugary sweetness. They both have maritime notes and share peppery notes. This is where the similarities end. The #peat and subtle iodine notes of the Talisker takes control to produce contrasting whiskies. Which would you prefer, the peat of Talisker or the sweetness or Oban? . . . #weekendwhisky #whiskey #kyandkey #whiskygram #oban #whiskylover #oban14 #whisky #talisker #whiskytasting #talisker10 #scotchwhisky #isleofskye #lagavulin #laphroaig10 #distillery #laphroaig #oak #whiskeybar #whiskeyporn #homebar #whiskylove #instawhisky #whiskylife #instawhiskey #lagavulin16 #whisky_droid #whiskytime #peatedwhisky (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJBBEoMs96/?igshid=1cnynwh6eyh3f

Last of the #christmas whiskies. This #bourbon is right up there with some of the best value buys. Sharing a similar profile to its highly awarded full proof sibling but the #1792 small batch comes without the price tag. Minty and vanillin on the nose with peppery spice coming first on the palate with sweet vanilla notes are always present. The finish brought with it your typical oak notes accompanied by hints of bubblegum. To top it off, it is presented in a beautiful decanter. . . . #weekendwhisky #americanwhiskey #whisky #bourbonporn #whiskey #bourbontrail #jackdaniels #bourbonwhiskey #wildturkey #kyandkey #pappy #blantons #bourbongram #vanwinkle #fourroses #bourbonstreet #boxingday #makersmark #bourbonwhisky #bourbonbarrel #bookers #weller #american (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJQXRm6McjN/?igshid=g80uaailcipc

Toasted bourbon to round out the weekend. The #Michters Toasted barrel finished bourbon is a seriously good whiskey. Caramel, vanilla and maple syrup circle the nose. To cut through the sweetness there are notes of toasted bread. Palate brings a touch of citrus continually swirling with chocolate and vanilla. Mid palate the spices build up with cinnamon and cloves combined with hints of smoke. No doubt the spices dominate the finish and has all the hallmarks of a traditional bourbon mixed with slight caramel notes. . . . #weekendwhisky #americanwhiskey #eaglesrare #whisky #bourbon #bourbonporn #whiskey #jackdaniels #michters10 #blantons #bourbonwhiskey #wildturkey #kyandkey #bourbongram #vanwinkle #weller12 #bourbonstreet #makersmark #pappy #bourbonwhisky #bookers #bourbontrail #bourbonbarrel #american #fourroses #weller (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGeuuoTMgrX/?igshid=1tmkq9hq2rymy

It's 75 years today since the end of world war II. A time to reflect on countless lives lost, the sacrifices made and legends that were born. I say thanks to all the men and women who fought for Australia. All the uncertainty we face today pales into insignificance compared to what these brave souls endured. There is no better way to mark this moment then with two great Australian whiskies.
