C'est What Whisky Tasting Results

Scotch Whisky | The Other Worlds Of Whiskies
An Introduction To Single Malts | Tasting Results

Uisge beatha or usquebaugh are two different spellings of the old Gaelic term for "water of life." This, to English speaking people, sounded like "uishgi" and over time was corrupted to "whisky."

The Highlanders

On Wednesday January 24, 2007 we used Robbie Burns Day as excuse to sample seven of the more obscure highland single malts.

Unusually, there was a great deal of consensus on the three best whiskies of the tasting. Edradour 10 yr. was a clear favourite with a median score of 22 out of 30. Second place finisher Balblair 10 yr. was the best value at about $50 a bottle - almost $30 cheaper than the Edradour. All four Speysiders ended up at the bottom of the table.
