This is the first in-person tasting the Malt Nuts have done since the pandemic started and we chose it carefully: it was the tasting we were supposed to do the week the world came to a halt. Glen Grant is a fan favorite amongst the group and we’d been talking about this tasting for years. […]

I think it’s fair to say Clynelish is one of our club’s favorite distilleries. We love the waxy fruity delivery and there is no end to the number of indie releases available. This love of the dram + the endless supply means these are easy tastings to assemble and so it’s likely there are even […]

I’m not the biggest fan of Tomatin, so when this Tomatin 14 Years Port Casks was recommended to me I hesitated just a bit. But, in the end, since the people recommending it (Nate and Joel) know a thing or three about whisky, I decided to give it a go. Both have good taste and […]

That’s right, the Malt Nuts are diving into the column distilled pool that’s responsible for the bulk of the whisky produced in Scotland. Single malts get all the attention and praise, but the real workhorse of […]

Billed as the AEllachie event, this virtual Malt Nuts meetup was a clash of the llachies headed up with a challenge. Can you spot the differences in what you’re drinking? This wasn’t a direct challenge like when we did the Bourbon vs Rye with the SCWC, but more of a “Where’s Waldo” like when we […]

We’re going into the #HappyHourLive webcast archives for this episode! Legendary distiller Jim McEwan joined us last February on the webcast, shortly before he announced his retirement from the Scotch Whisky industry, and this was one of his final interviews. He shared stories and answered your questions for nearly two hours that night, and we thought it was worth sharing with more of you. Video Version
We’ve had a bit of time off our virtual tastings recently – with bars reopening we want to encourage folks to (safely) get back out there. However, in August we’ve got a tasting that we…
