Angels club; Best Dram of the Year! 2013     We have had many whisky tours and tastings during 2013, we kept a record of what we had to taste, to sample and delve into. Here – from the many bottles – are the top five drams of 2013.

Ben Riach single cask, Pedro Ximinez Sherry Finish, 1995, a 16 year old single malt. Where ever and whoever, always up there in the top 3.

Balvenie, Caribbean Cask, extra matured in rum casks, a 14 year old single malt. Another favourite everywhere, specially Liz.

Ben Riach, Curiositas. A 10 year old single peated malt. Peaty is no to everyone’s taste, but – those who liked it, REALLY liked it!

Aberlour, Warehouse No. 1. Single cask single malt, sherry cask, 16 years old. Another one to applaud everywhere we took it.

Glenfarclas single malt, 15 year old, for lovers of all Glenfarclas releases, no more needs be said.

SO WHAT DRAM CAME TOP? it was hard fought, we had many, many drams over the year, it’s a hard job recording the tours and tastings, so many people with different tastes. So many diary notes, bits of paper, memories! But there has to be a winner – or does there? In fact we had TWO WINNERS, aye, two drams came equal in the year; Ben Riach Pedro Ximinez Sherry Finish and Aberlour, Warehouse No. 1. To the others, really well done, to those we tried throughout the year, we loved you all, to the winner(s); we only have a drop left of each, so Paul and Liz will finish them off celebrating!
