Although prices of a lot whisky’s are going through the roof nowadays, it doesn’t always have to cost a fortune to find a nice, non-standard whisky.
Most of the time we offer older, more exclusive, pricier bottles, but we thought it to be fun to go and look for some more affordable bottles, where you don’t need to worry about the loss of investment when opening them.
So please enjoy this small selection of great whisky’s

Not everyone will have heard from Boann Distillery, situated in Ireland. There current products might be better known: The Whistler.
Irish whiskey is rapidly becoming more popular and I wouldn’t be surprised if it overtakes Scotch as the most popular whisky in the world. Irish whiskey does not have the restrictions that Scotch has.
Here are some very nice, daily drinking whiskey’s that are very affordable.
With the Box Bizar Project coming closer I am exploring some new brands that offer quality whisky. One of these new independent brands that caught my eye is Lady of the Glen.
All Lady of the Glen brand releases are hand bottled at natural cask strength, without any chill filtering or colouring which means the original taste remains unaffected and the end flavour is pure, full, and always unique.
Each bottle alongside its distinctive floral label and whisky, receives a hand detailed number, making the bottles as individual as the whisky they contain.
Lady of the Glen whiskies are a homage to the long tradition of independent bottling in Scotland and of outstanding and unhurried techniques that create a product that is both rare and special.

This is probably one of the coolest projects in the whisky industry of the last couple of years. I know it is a hard nut to crack as the available information given is massive and it is something we are less familiar with in the wonderful world of whisky.
And yes, they’ve released in all their enthusiasm too much, too quickly, which makes it hard to buy every release, but the goal of proofing TERROIRE in whisky is sooooo cooooolllll!
Maybe it is not scientifically proven, but if you have ever tried two samples of new make Waterford that have been distilled identically and have been matured in the same manner the different flavours coming from the two samples will convince you.
Now if you missed the Waterford train here is your chance to do a BACK-to-BACK tasting of different TERROIRES: 7 Single Farm Origins, 7 different flavour profiles.
