Paul John â Classic Select Cask
One of the things I love about whisky is the way it can take on the quality of a time capsule. Each bottle, even each dram, has its own lifespan, unfolding alongside your own life and marking itself into your experience. Some whiskies become part of your everyday. You replace them as soon as they are finished, so in a sense they never really leave.

Benromach Contrasts â Unpeated 12 Year Old
I have never been very good at sticking with subscription services. I am far too much of a control freak and my short attention span means that often I lose interest in what they send within the first few deliveries. This means that I have a long collection of usernames and passwords that I don't use anymore and a fair few pin badges and stickers lying around the house.

Cadenheads â Islay Single Malt â ISY.3.A
Wm Cadenheadâs is a whisky company you can trust. They produce fantastic whisky, and I have never bought a bottle from them that has been anything less than great. I spent a very long time at the Cadenheadâs table at the Exploring Whisky Bristol festival. Aroma: Sweet with caramel, but slightly synthetic â almost Caramac-like. It becomes creamy and vegetal, like popcorn.

White Peak â Necessary Evil Finish
Whisky festivals are a fantastic place to try new whiskies. You get small amounts of lots of drams, hear stories, and take on new experiences. But they are also a good place to try new things from old favourites. If you are a regular reader, then you will know that I love WireWorks and all that they make. Aroma: Sweet like brioche, with a waft of smoke, toasted hazelnuts, and stewed apples.

Thompson Brothers â Mystery Malt (Series No.3) â Speyside 27 Year Old
Mysteries are fun. I have always enjoyed solving puzzles, completing crosswords and have got quite in to those locked in a room games with friends. So when I heard that Thompson Brothers had created a series of whiskies packaged in mystery bottles, I was excited. I missed Series No.2 because I was too slow off the purchasing mark, so when I saw Series No.3 for sale I tried to get involved, but I couldn't find a bottle anywhere.

Ardnahoe â Infinite Loch
When you say âIslay whiskyâ to a group of people at a tasting, they already have a preconceived idea of what to expect before they have even nosed it, so trying to surprise them is tricky. This meant choosing an odd cask, a sneaky unpeated whisky, or as I opted for, something new. When we visited Ardnahoe, they hadnât had enough time to be ready to release any whisky yet, which meant we came away full of excitement but a touch disappointed.

James Eadie â Aberlour 2014
Being proved right is a great feeling, especially when it comes to whisky. For the fifth dram of my tasting, I wanted a whisky that evoked all the best things I associate with Speyside whiskies: sherry casks, fruit-cake spices, and dusty dunnage warehousing. I thought it would be interesting to find a distillery that most people would have heard of, but to choose a whisky they would not have had.

Meeting an old friend after a long time apart is one of lifeâs great pleasures. You are quickly reminded what a joy it is to be in othersâ company, and the more time you spend together, the more you reveal the depth of that joy. The same is true of a favoured whisky that you havenât had in a while. Coming back to Glen Scotia 15 was a real pleasure.

Wemyss Malts â A Quarter Passed
The whisky drinking community is such a friendly and generous place. It has been a huge bastion of optimism and kindness over the last ten years. It has been a great source of friendship and has presented me with some money-canât-buy (or at least I canât afford) whiskies. Steve at The Whisky Wire has run over a decade of online tastings, and they have all been educational, informative, and fun.

The Single Malts of Scotland â Ardmore 2009
I am a huge fan of a curveball in a whisky tasting. Veering away from what people expect is important - it keeps them guessing about what might come next, but this whisky even managed to blindside me. I love Ardmore. Itâs a distillery that rarely disappoints (unless you buy their standard bottlings, which are very dull), but this one is peated, and I really wasnât prepared for just how smoky it would be.
