RAER Blended Whisky Oloroso Finish, 40%

New blends tend to go under the radar compared to their malt focused brothers. But I’m a fan of blends, I love how complex they can be, how simple, tasty, great for cocktail useage, at home mixing, whatever takes your fancy.

RAER have released this new version of their standard blend, finishing it off in Oloroso sherry casks. Combining the usual suspects of malt and grain, this is a nice and affordable product to sink your whisky opinion into while they wait for their first malt releases….not long to go for that either.

But this a wonderfully easy drinker with a huge ginger beer note running through it from start to finish. Totally worth a look, especially for the price

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 435: Clonakilty 9 Year Old 2010 Single Grain Bordeaux Finish

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a new Irish whiskey. The whiskies of Clonakilty, founded in 2016, are still quietly maturing. But in order to be able to pay the bills in the meantime, they also bought some whiskey that they finish and market themselves. This is a good example. This Clonakilty is a single grain that they finished on Bordeaux wine barrels before being bottled at cask strength. Only 180 bottles of this whiskey have been filled.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 434: Teeling Brabazon 1 through 4 Head-to-Head

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries four Irish malts. The Brabazon series from Teeling consists of four interesting releases. The series is named after the 17^th Century politician that ruled the Liberties, the area where the distillery can be found. It also refers to the Brabazon House, the building behind the distillery in which Teeling now have their corporate offices. Let’s put these four whiskeys head-to-head.

Talisker is a brand that I overlooked in the early steps of my whisky adventure; I don’t regret that. But it is a brand that has much more of my attention now, specifically the stalwart bottling of their 10YO.

The lack of indulgent sweetness in this is a huge allure to me. Comprising mostly of bourbon casks, I imagine, there is no caramel or toffee note, just a raw and driven coastal influence of salt and herbaceous tang. Delicious.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 433: Nc’nean Quiet Rebels Annabel

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries another Nc’nean. I think you can safely say that Mark is a fan of Nc’nean. He’s tasted the first ten batches and it’s become a bit of a daily sipper for him. So accessible and pleasantly priced that he can drink it daily without any problems. But they recently launched the so-called Quiet Rebels series – an ode to the distillery’s employees, each time vatting something special – and start with the distillery’s leading lady: Annabel Thomas. In addition to the classic bourbon and STR casks, she now also chose  Tokaji and sherry casks. Tokaji is the oldest type of wine made in Hungary. Mark was very excited to try this.
