#WineWednesday? Or Monday – Sunday Sips?
25th Jul 2019
I do like a #WineWednesday, but truth be told, to limit a vinous treat to one day a week is somewhat ludicrous, how else are we going to get through the glorious (?!) English summer without a good Monday-Sunday guide of what you [I] could be [am] drinking this summer. So as I sit here […]
Malt of the Month | June 2019
4th Jun 2019
Kilchoman STR Cask Matured Limited Edition £89.50 It’s no secret that I follow releases from this most modern thinking of distilleries KIlchoman. Since 2005 they have made waves from their quiet corner of Islay in the whisky world with some incredible offerings. Their latest limited edition is the ‘STR’ meaning Shaving, Toasting and Re-Charring. 43 […]
Malt of the Month | November 2018
27th Nov 2018 Well after one of the best summers I can remember, the glorious weather even reached beyond the border into Scotland. It seemed rather strange visiting Whisky distilleries in shorts and a tee shirt! This trip I managed to venture over to the Orkneys for a few days, and first stop had to be Highland Park […]
We’re all going on a…
25th Jul 2018 “Freedom!” cheer the children, while parents and grandparents everywhere lovingly look towards six weeks of wonderful sunshine filled days… Of course I am delighted at the prospect of not having to drag my daughter out of bed for a good few weeks and squeeze in some quality time, but my head isn’t completely in the […]
Tasting, training and taking it all in…
6th Jul 2018 I often look back to my school days and think “if someone had told me then that working in wine is all science and geography I would have probably paid a lot more attention!” Therefore, these days, I like to make it my mission to spread the word that there is so much more to […]
Kilchoman Port Cask 2018 release | Malt of the month
3rd Jul 2018 It’s been a while since I’ve scribbled notes for our Malt drinkers, but this month we have a real gem. Kilchoman have released two limited edition Malts this year both of which we have secured a tiny allocation. The Loch Gorm 2018 which is an annual release and the second ever release of a Port […]
The Grapevine 49
22nd May 2018
There’s nothing like the opportunity to flex our vinous muscles with a stonking issue of our Summer Grapevine. We’ve been inundated with new wines over the last few months and have narrowed down quite a wide field of hopefuls into a few handfuls of delight. Zippy whites, crunchy reds and lots more besides have exceeded […]
The Grapevine 46
10th Apr 2017 Is there a more joyous time to the year? Light evenings, a bit of sunshine and the prospect of a few Bank Holidays to look forward to! Did you know that we have a national celebration for our wine industry too? Make sure you’re well stocked for English Wine Week at the end of May […]
Bruichladdich ‘The Classic Laddie’ | Malt of the month
6th Feb 2017 demand for whisky has never been stronger and it must be a nightmare making predictions on demand a decade or so in advance. Well, what a busy festive period that was for all of us at Hennings with whisky flying off the shelves to keep the winter blues at bay. Now the quieter months are […]
