I DEFINITELY experienced PALATE FATIGUE with Peated Malts a few years back; even with Laphroaigs and Ardbeg, I could barely detect smoke. Had to entirely lay off the stuff for months before the situation straightened itself out.

Great update Ralfy. Kilchoman was one of the distilleries I toured when my son and I visited Islay last year. I was so impressed with the authenticity of the place and their genuine attention to a process that prioritized the quality of the product. I was able to go in to the malting room and taste the barley, see where they mill and then dry the malt followed by the distillation process. I particularly appreciated their efforts to be sustainable with using some of the waste from the process as feed for the local cattle. I bought Sanaig at the distillery and have been slowly savoring it over the last year. So pleased that my less experienced palate has been discerning enough to pick out a malt that you as someone with such vast experience is also enjoying. The validation gives me confidence to find quality going forward.

I'll be checking out Eek a mouse Ralfy! So much good reggae out there. Have you heard of The Abyssinians?

Hi Ralfy, I consider myself pretty much a beginner, early in my journey. It can be so difficult at an early stage to know whether you are actually tasting certain notes or whether it’s “in your mind”. One thing I realised is that when I recognise a new flavour in a whisky my brain starts to taste only that flavour for some time, becoming very one-dimensional. I’ve been taking notes and comparing back and it helps. No stress, I will keep exploring and living the journey and I have confidence my palate will improve 😊
