Whisky Ramblings Via Video #14
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, created two more whiskies at WhiskyBlender.com, aptly named 2nd and 3rd Xperiment and puts them head to head in this 14th Whisky Rambling. Enjoy!
Despite the influx of midges, this year’s Whisky Festival was a roaring success! We had over 250 Diurachs come from far and wide to sample the atmosphere. In addition for the first time our live broadcast made it possible for Diurachs around the world to share the event, and hopefully you had as much fun watching it as we had with our sessions. It was a vintage year by any measure, and the distillery is certainly brimming with pride.
For those who couldn’t attend we’ve captured the highlights of the Festival – if you missed the action, click here to take a look. Myself and Willie T also take an exclusive look at some of our newest releases in our Festival round up. As a special treat we’re running a wee competition for all those who couldn’t make the trip across. You can win a weekend stay for two at the Jura lodge by taking a look at the highlights video and answering this question: How many times does someone knock on wood? Click here to send us your answers along with you name and email address. To enter the competition, your friend will also need to be a Diurach so if they aren’t signed up, send them here to register.
We hope you enjoy the exclusive footage of the Festival in the midge-free comfort of your own home (or office if no-one’s watching).

Distillery Spotting From The River Spey
Hello all,
Speyside may not be as vast a region as the Scottish Highlands, but it’s home to more malt whisky distilleries than any other part of Scotland, and as Grant’s fans may already know, many of those famously sweet and fruity Speyside whiskies regularly find their way into our blends.
I use a lot of my…(Please click on the link below to read the remainder of the article)…
