The Balvenie Signature 12 Year Old Whisky

 Tonight I am drinking a wee dram from a sample bottle of the Balvenie Signature 12 Year Old Whisky. It's a limited release, single malt Scotch whisky that David Stewart first made in 2008 to mark his 45th year in the whisky industry.
I've only recently finished a bottle of Single Barrel Balvenie a few weeks ago which I thoroughly enjoyed. With the Signature though, Malt Master David Stewart oversees the marrying of the three traditional cask types: first fill bourbon, refill bourbon and sherry.
I found this to have juicy texture in body, with a green nose balanced with vanilla and honey. I really enjoyed the first taste, but to be sure..  I'm pouring another.

Into Knoydart (part 5)

On the road, soaking up the wilderness as we cross the Knoydart peninsular.

We suffer a couple of minor injuries but nothing we can't handle.

There will be, and in fact is, blood. But not much.

This is part five of our trip.

Home Is Where The Tech Is

I have always had to have some kind of tech with me when in the outdoors. Even if it is a compass or a fancy multi-tool. It's more than just being prepared.

I could live without it but it goes a hell of a long way to making any trip or adventure more 'comfortable'.

In this case a home comfort for me tends to be tech related. I can feel at home anywhere, especially if I have a bag full of tech. To eat, sleep or communicate with.

Into Knoydart (part 4)

 

In this episode we eat some more great food cooked on a titanium stove and drink fresh coffee in the woods.

Yup, more roughing it in the wilds of Scotland.

Oh yes. And we have solar power.

 

This is part four of our trip.

Into Knoydart (part 2)

We arrive on the Knoydart peninsular and head into the woods to make camp before visiting the UK's most remote pub. The Old Forge. Whilst in there, I get chatting to a Stalker.
