We all know that adding a little water to whisky will open up the flavour of your dram. Make sure you add the best water - 126 Water from Loch Ness is the purest, natural water to add to your whisky. A recent article from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society was very clear in how it views adding water to whisky. It reads as follows: Some whisky drinkers treat the idea of adding water to their drams as a cardinal sin. But what if we told you that one of the most renowned Tasting Panels on the planet – yep, the big leagues – always sample their whisky with water. Why, you ask? Because it’s like unlocking a hidden treasure trove of flavours! After savouring your whisky neat, a splash of water can set off a flavour explosion you never knew existed. Plus, it’s the magic trick to tone down any boozy fierceness, especially useful with our bold cask strength whiskies. #126Water #LochNess #Whisky #Scotland

I get to taste lots of new Whisky, which is nice. Because of new technology and a deep understanding of how it's made, most (if not all) of the Scotch coming out of Scotland is pretty good. You get the odd 'expert' who'll tell you about Sulphur notes and other 'notes', which render it not as good, in their pretentious tasting 'notes'. I've never noticed this. As you might see, I'm not a fan of being told what I'm tasting. If I'm told I'm 'getting' cough sweets or other such preposterous pointers, it's usually a pointer that it's probably going to be a wee bit too serious a tasting for me. When I first tasted Lindores, it was pretty clear it was rather good, for all sorts of reasons. That's why you know that this special finish will ALSO be rather good, for all sorts of reasons. I fully understand that some people might not like it. Just like I'm not a huge fan of heavily peated Octomore. It doesn't mean I'd review it as bad. MOST Scotch Whisky is 'flavoured', whether that's with Peat smoke, Sherry, Bourbon, or in this case, Wine. You need to find one you like, THAT is the purpose of Tastings. Finding one you like, not being sniffy about one you don't. #ScotchWhiskyTruths
