What is Flora & Fauna Single Malt Whisky?

Created as an overview of Diageo's "Flora & Fauna" series of single malt Scotch whiskies. This one is, perhaps, a little esoteric. Despite this range confusing me at first, it's since become a favourite of mine and I share some of the reasons why, but also what I think could be better. Think of it as a fan letter.

I also share my thoughts on the currently available expressions and which you might enjoy.

Missing here is a point I didn't make very well on the shoot, and that is that of the 11 expressions currently available, 9 are Speyside malts. The remaining two are Highlands. Over time Diageo have clipped and thinned the range to the point there's far less variation in the series than there once was. Despite this, I still feel it warrants exploration. I have also not mentioned here that the only operating distillery that's owned by Diageo which doesn't contribute an expression to the range is Roseisle. That's probably not quite come of age yet, but honestly at the time of writing/shooting I don't know Diageo's plans for Roseisle going forward.

I've tried to be as accurate as possible with the details in this video, but I politely ask that you understand this is meant as entertainment and the intended audience is whisky enthusiasts.

In time I will add links to other #whiskytube and #whiskyfabric reviews below. JasonWhiskyWise has an upcoming series planned on the entire (available) Flora & Fauna series on his channel.
