Grant’s triple reserve

American oak, virgin oak and refill bourbon are the three woods. Grant’s triple wood is a whisky, that is truly worth it’s price. Honey and candied orange, a touch of dried chili and apricots, aniseed and barley notes comprise this whisky, previously labelled as Family Reserve. Slightly smoky at the end but quite smooth overall.

The Silvery Sands of Rosehearty Beach — Ailish Sinclair

I took a little stroll along Rosehearty beach. No exaggeration. It was a stroll. Recovery from pneumonia is a slow process, so the walk was slow too. It was a meander along the sands, if you will!

What whiskey would you enjoy on your trips Rosehearty beach?

Bell’s Original

This is my favourite whisky in terms of price and quality. The nose is sweet and gentle, also floral and fruity. The palate is smooth and medium, spicy and a tad smoky. You feel the slight peatiness at the finish.
It is the most popular blended whisky in the UK and rightfully so! Available only in the UK is a slightly smokier variant; the Bell’s Special Reserve. I highly recommend both to enjoy with friends and family, or even alone.

Johnnie Walker Double Black

Smoky. This is what you get the moment you open a Johnnie double black. Your nose is filled with the aroma, the distinct flavour of this drink. The glass closes in your nostrils and with every passing second the flavour, the smokiness, and the oak become more and more intense. You taste it. You know, this is a whisky to be savoured, to be celebrated. You don’t drink it after a tiring shift to calm you down. This scotch, it is the real deal. This is a stepping stone to the magical world of whiskies. You breathe it in. The rivers, the trees, and the air of Scotland surround you. You become a part of it. You are now in the highlands, and you drink its nectar. Aye, that’s it. Johnnie double black. Whatever path you walk, you keep walking with your chest high and your spirit… lifted.

NOSE

Obvious but gentle smokiness. Vanilla and cloves.

PALATE

Smoky and sweet. Cloves and honey. The peatiness is very interesting in this blend and it makes me think of Islay malts.

FINISH

Soft smoke, spices and and hints of citrus.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
