I have written some articles about whisk[e]ys for the quarterly issued bilingual YachtLife Magazine.

The Arran Malt Tokaji Finish 10-year-old malt whisky

There is a little island at the southwestern part of Scotland with a single distillery. The innovation of the place are the experiments of maturing the whisky in casks of Tokaji wine. Due to the Tokaji cask the whisky gets fruity smell and rich flavour with a tiny citrus easing the syrupy sweet dessert wine character.

Laphroaig 10-year-old malt whisky

The most famous distillery of Islay Island is Laphroaig. Its whisky has an intensive dry character of peat, smoke and iodine. It’s advised only for real whisky drinkers, because those who taste the whisky for the first time, this type can cut the adventurous mood easily.

Elijah Craig 12-year-old bourbon whiskey

This is one of the best bourbon whiskeys. It isn’t common at all to maturate for 12 years a corn-based whiskey in freshly burned new casks. The sweet and smooth taste of corn can be easily destroyed by the tannin and vanilla character of the new cask. Elijah Craig is however matured just until the limit.
