Scotch Day at Celtic Whiskey Shop

James Holohan Tuesday 26th July 2022 0
  It’s probably no surprise that us here at Celtic Whiskey Shop love whisk(e)y from all around the world. Irish whiskey, World Whiskeys, Scotch, they’ve all got a home under our roof. And so, when we heard our friends across the pond are celebrating their National Scotch Day, we thought we’d join in on the fun and take this opportunity to turn the spotlight onto, you guessed it, Scotch whisky!   For those unfamiliar or new to Scotch Whisky, here’s the quick background: Scotch is made from m...

Benriach & GlenAllachie Tasting 30th August 2018

Hannah Osbourne Thursday 30th August 2018 0
Billy Walker - out with the old & in with the new! Having sold the BenRiach Distillery in 2016, Billy Walker has not been taking it easy. The Master Blender has revived the GlenAllachie Distillery in Speyside. We have recently seen the launch of the GlenAllachie whiskies in the Emerald Isle so we thought it would be only if we all got together to try them alongside whiskies from Billy Walker's first distillery BenRiach. The whiskies on the night will be the following: GlenAllachie Cask Stren...
