There's been a lot of interest in our free Whisky Reaper community, and in the Sample Ballot. Our current ballot ends on the 28th Feb, so there's still time to enter.

One of the 3 samples up for grabs is the The GlenAllachie 12 year old Ruby Port Wood Finish. Check out our review of it here:

https://www.gentlemangrimm.com/fruity-whisky/glenallachie-ruby-port-12

I’m a fan of big flavours in my whisky - be that from high abv, cask influence such as sherry and port or heavily peated whiskies. Despite this only having had 2 out of it’s 12 years maturation spent in a Ruby Port Pipe, it has still managed to pick up bags of flavour in that time.

https://www.gentlemangrimm.com/sweet-whisky/glenmorangie-quinta-ruban-14

I’m a big fan of port influenced whiskies, so of course I jumped on this expression, which has had a mix of bourbon casks and port cask maturation. Surprisingly though, it didn’t feel like a port cask matured whisky at all to me, which is why it is listed under “sweet whisky” rather than fru...

At around £50 a bottle, this is for me the best value for money whisky on the market - assuming you love sherry-bombs that is. Cask strength (60% abv), natural colour and non-chill filtered.

Obviously haven't been drinking enough Cask Strength whisky 😷🤒🤧

Back in 2015 I decided to start a whisky blog. This was mainly to give me an excuse for buying and drinking more whisky. Over the years since then I’ve dabbled in YouTube (more than once), photography and even started running my own whisky, and other spirits tastings, back in 2019. I’ve enjoyed ...
