A guest blog post ... A sensual evaluation of whisky

We were lucky enough to share a dram the other week with the incredibly talented artist and writer, Jessica Hagy. She is best known for her Webby award-winning blog, Indexed (www.thisisindexed.com) in which she sketches out random thoughts and insightful observations on conveniently file-able index cards.

Given that we love hearing about the impressions whisky leaves on new-comers we had to grab the opportunity to get Jessica to put together a guest post for us. The dram in question was the Glenfiddich 15 year old Distillery Only Bottling Batch No. 11 Cask Strength 54.8% ABV. This rare and fiesty dram was sent to Whisky for Everyone to celebrate the launch of the Glenfiddich Explorers Club. See www.glenfiddichexplorers.co.uk for more info.

Be inspired and check out more of Jessica's work at jessicahagy.info.

Very nice! I really like the 'Chemical rug burn' on mouth feel, and 'Butter smeared on old money' taste. I wish my expressions on whisky were that interesting!

Hi, I really love Glenfiddich single malts, especially anything older than 15yrs. Will have to try this one out. Scott at WhiskyExchangeShop
