Glen Scotia Campbeltown Festival.

Here we are again, I won’t mince words, the release is brilliant.

A devilishly shy nose with bounds of sweetness and a huge density of salt and ocean spray. The taste. Powerful, bold and simply wonderful. A peat loaded powerhouse with so much longevity that it’ll outlive Henry Kissinger…and commit less war crimes.

2022. The year that Campbeltown ran away with everything.

Independent bottlers have always been a go-to for me when trying to get a different idea/identity of a distillery.

Glenfarclas, despite the robbery which took place recently, my deepest apologies to the folks at Glenfarclas; a horrendous act. That aside, I’ve never been a huge fan of the distilleries style. I haven’t tried the Family Cask Range, I can’t afford to, but at this crossroads of style are independent bottlers, Duncan Taylor specifically with their Octave range.

Double maturation in a 50 litre, hand made sherry cask by some of the most famous sherry bodegas – the Octave range allows a rather unique and oddly specific sherry influence onto distilleries which are sometimes famous for sherry use themselves, and some not.

This Iconic Speyside (Glenfarclas) is the finest rum and raisin soaked style that I’ve ever tried, Glenfarclas now has a place in my heart, via Duncan Taylor.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 442: Wolfburn 7 Year Old 2015 Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, sips for peace! Kudos to Belgian bottler Klubb23 who took the initiative to convince Wolfburn to release a bottling in favor of humanitarian actions for Ukraine. And although Wolfburn opened up the initiative further and bottled another 1550 bottles (with black capsule) for all markets, 112 bottles (with silver capsule) and separate label on the box were bottled for Belgium. The proceeds of the sale will go to the Solidarity Fund Ukraine 12-12. Mark knows it’s only a very small contribution that he can make by buying a bottle, but something is always better than nothing.
