A few reviews of whiskies with (sketchy) connections to Valentine's Day





Some indulgent Chocolate(y) goodness…

Glenmorangie Signet

  • Single Malt Scotch Whisky
  • 700ml, 46% ABV
  • Owner: Moet-Hennesy

Made from a marriage of two unusual barley varieties, a single estate Cadboll and and malted chocolate barley matured in virgin *blush* American oak casks.

Nose: Christmas smothered in chocolate, golden syrup with an undercurrent of bitter marmalade.

Palate: Freshly roasted coffee beans dipped in dark chocolate, cinnamon sugar, orange rind with a sexy waft of french cigarette smoke.

Made using a unique Limestone, spring-fed, river water-source and grain sourced from the same producer for nearly 50 years at a historically listed distillery in the Spanish Mission style dating back to 1910.

A bottle of (Starward) wine (cask)…

Starward Nova

  • Single Malt Australian Whisky
  • 700ml 41% ABV

Made in Melbourne by Australia’s rock stars of affordable homegrown distilled malt beverages using 100% Australian barley aged in a selection of varying styles and sizes of Australian Red Wine barrels from (we have been told) South Australia.
