Best performance I've seen all season. I'm sure that we will find the points to stay up as well.

Exploring Global Whisky: A Personal Advent Calendar Journey (TheΒ conclusion) With Christmas Day my Advent Calendar came to an end. There are no more whiskies to try. (In my Advent Calendar). There are still thousands, millions maybe, of whiskies still out there. I can drink a different whisky every day, from today until I run out of breath. By then, I would just about have scratched to surface of all that this wonderful drink has to offer.

Exploring Global Whisky: A Personal Advent Calendar Journey (PartΒ 6) I am coming to the end of my Advent Calendar. I have five more whiskies to experience. I shall write about the next four (up to Christmas Eve) in this post. I will do a separate post about the Christmas Day whisky. Which I hope will be something special, but fear will be the World whisky equivalent of a generic blended Scotch.

Exploring Global Whisky: A Personal Advent Calendar Journey (PartΒ 5) The whiskey tasting journey covered a range of spirits from Ireland, Japan, Canada, and India. Highlights included the 15-year-old Red Spot, characterized by fruity and nutty notes, and Nikka from the Barrel, praised for its complex flavors. The Canadian Red Bank Blend was pleasant but unremarkable, while Amarut Fusion impressed with its smoky profile. Overall, the experience showcased diverse whiskey profiles but varied in enjoyment.

Exploring Global Whisky: A Personal Advent Calendar Journey (PartΒ 4) Moving on, with my thoughts on the next four whiskies in my advent calendar. Blogging about the very varied whiskies that I am finding in the calendar is an interesting experience. I am finding that it is making me think about what I am drinking. Instead of just drinking the day's whisky, I reflect on it. I consider whether I like it or not and share my thoughts.

Exploring Global Whisky: A Personal Advent Calendar Journey (PartΒ 3) The post reviews four distinctive whiskies from various countries. The Connemara 12-year-old is noted for its peat and smoke, reminiscent of Islay malts. The Ka Va Lan Sherry Cask from Taiwan features strong sherry notes, along with honey and stone fruit, which the reviewer enjoyed. The KyrΓΆ Rye from Finland offers a unique nutty flavor but presented a challenge for evaluation. Lastly, Denmark's Fary Lochan, smoked over nettles, has herbal and grassy notes but wasn't to the author's taste.

They didn't, It was just that Dysons are so inefficient that they use twice the power to produce the same suction as a MielΓ©.
