Whisky and Ginger


Sorry we've away for so long but with over 20 tastings in this month alone we're fighting through the back log......

Anyway the lovely folk at Fever Tree offered us a few samples of Ginger Ale and Ginger Beer for us to try with our own Blended whisky SO

Inverarity Blend with Ginger Ale: The ginger is quite strong with out dominating. It added a pleasant spicy kick that grows on you with every sip.


Inverarity Blend with Ginger Beer: A bit too strong for us and the cloudy haze dose not make for an attractive drink.
And just to add an Islay twist we had a little bit of Laphraoig Quarter Cask left so lets see what happens....

Laphroaig Quarter Cask with Ginger Ale: Beautifully balanced between smoky, ginger and a sweentness that came from nowhere and swept us away. Huge thumbs up from all three of us!


Laphroaig Quarter Cask and Ginger beer: Guess what we love the Laphroaig and Ginger Ale so much we're just going to have another one!


A great wee tasting for a Wednesday afternoon and a big thank you to the guys and girls from Fever Tree - they also do one of the best tonics on the market.
