Whiskey Roundup - Peated Whiskey

This week, the Whiskey Roundup is all about peated whiskey. I took to Twitter to find my favorite articles about peated whiskey, and was surprised how few I found that were recent, that is to say in the last few months. Let's dive in and explore!

Peated Whiskey

I can't speak for the hagis, but this does sound delicious. Some nights, a good peated whiskey is all you need to finish it off proper.

Two of my favorite Scotch whiskys are the Laphroaig 10 and the Laphroaig 15. I have heard tales of the quarter cask, but have never seen it in the wild, much less tasted it. This solidifies my need to find a bottle and bring it home as mine. 

Today has been a great day for whisky, first had a very enjoyable chat with the @CircusWhisky crew and now just about to crack this @Laphroaig with @newdramdrinker & the #CertifiedOriginals #whisky #SundaySup #Peated pic.twitter.com/G9CXQZRJqv

I've only ever had a sample of the Glen Moray Scotch, but I assure you it was delicious. It is one of the bottles where some day I will have the means and I will someday bring it home. 

Bought a bottle of @GlenMorayDist #Peated #Whisky for a friends 60th #Birthday Im sure she will enjoy #Scotch #Elgin #GlenMoray pic.twitter.com/ouNfxB8AZw

The Glen Dronach is one of  my favorite scotch whiskys. Sherry finished casks are some of the smoothest I have found out there. So, now knowing that is a peated bottle of The Glen Dronach out there, the hunt is on.

Thank you @Celticwhiskey for excellent customer service and getting this shipped out to me double quick!#glendronach #peated #scotch #whisky pic.twitter.com/JOCPKqnphX

A couple of things about this caught my eye. I had no idea that there were peated English whiskeys out there. That alone is enough to make me want to try it. But then also that someone had the chance to pick a barrel and then have the bottle delivered makes it all the more exciting.  

Can’t beat the feeling of having a whisky you chose and bottled yourself sat on your desk! #whisky #englishwhisky #peated #norfolk #harveynichols #singlemalt #LimitedEdition #singlecask pic.twitter.com/XWZHyQxQwL

Whiskey Roundup 07/14/19 to 07/20/19

Every Saturday I go through Twitter with #whiskey and roundup my favorite whiskey articles!
These are may favorites for this week!

It would be pretty awesome to sit down with Chris Hayes for any whiskey and beer pairing, or even just to talk about whiskey for a few minutes!

All set and ready to go with @TeelingWhiskey European Brand Ambassador Chris Hayes for tonight's 'Whiskey and Beer' pairing event in @57theheadline#irishwhiskey #craftbeer#whiskey #whisky pic.twitter.com/JXa8WZOxu3

A view like this can really help you reset after a long week! I'm working on fixing up my backyard to improve my view. I already have the whiskey!

There’s nothing like a good view and a great #bourbon. What’s on deck for your #WhiskeyWednesday?
...oh, also, new episode’s out featuring John Edwards of @BourbonDads . It’s a good time, so check it out!#ThisIsMyBourbonPodcast #Kentucky #Whiskey #Whisky #WildTurkey pic.twitter.com/VZDzTgEybT

I've never had a bad beer from Dogfish Head. I can only imagine that their whiskey will be the same. I'm hoping it will make it's way to Houston!

Dogfish Head's new whiskey tour ends with patrons pouring and labeling their own bottle of whiskey! Learn more about the distilling process at https://t.co/FBmJsgNuhT. #dogfishhead #dogfishspirits #offcentered #whiskey #netde #miltonde #visitde… https://t.co/9DyIRfxV89 pic.twitter.com/GrYtHCCV5n

Two things. I need a bar and a whiskey like this in my life!

🥃WHISKEY OF THE WEEK🥃

Single Malt Irish Whiskey enhanced with French Limousin Oak, has been initially matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, imparting flavours of “malt and biscuit”, and in a first for the category, has been part-finished in French Limousin oak for one year#whiskey pic.twitter.com/xOFdKw23uj

I couldn't agree more. Never had a daiquiri that I liked. They have too much sugar. They only belong on a beach on an island, and even then, look for a local beer. Plus, Glen Dronach Original 12 is one of my favorite Scotches!

It’s National Daiquiri Day! But we chose to pour some of The GlenDronach Original 12 year. @Glendronach @GlenDronachUSA #whisky #whiskey pic.twitter.com/VU1h1ahP55

There's just something about a clear sky full of stars, a good bottle of whiskey, good conversation and a camp fire if you're lucky. These quiet evenings are better than almost any other!

All i need is a sky full of stars, a full moon, a good company and a quality bottle of #whiskey#moroccan_travellers
