Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 460: Strathenry 5 Year Old 2016 Carter’s Whisky
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries his first Strathenry. Strathenry? Never heard of it. InchDairnie? Huh? Carter’s Whisky? Uh… who is that? Don’t panic! InchDairnie is a new distillery, built in 2014, with the aim of providing some blenders with enough malt whisky for their product. They will not bring their own whisky, which they understandably call InchDairnie, to the market until 2029. They have named the recipe for the blenders Strathenry and MEUG, the most fun Flemish taste agency, has been able to get hold of a cask. And who is Carter, you ask? Carter’s Whisky is a delightful pun on ‘kaarterswhisky’, which is Flemish for ‘card players’ whisky’, referring to the utter drinkability of this malt.
