You know when you find out you’re wrong but it’s okay because the whisky is still great? Had that with Rittenhouse.

Been telling people for years that it’s 65%+ rye mashbill. Turns out it’s just 51%. More Kentucky than it’s Pennsylvania roots would assume. Anyway! At four years old, 50% ABV and £40 per bottle…seriously folks, if your whisky preferences lean stateside, all you really need is a bottle of this, Wild Turkey 101 and Makers 46. Bold statement but I’m sticking by it.

Rye is a devisive style, can be too dry for some, but this is full of quite exotic fruits and warm honey notes. So don’t be too put off by the word ‘rye’. Embrace it for it’s full flavoured style and rather affordable price point.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the show. This week I’ll be taking a look at some new releases from Hannah Whisky Merchants in their Lady of the Glen range.

This week, John Drinks was kind enough to have me help in dissecting the differences between the new Ben Nevis 10YO and the older and much more illusive bottling.

Needless to say that the contrast of the two is a chasm in comparison to a few small discrepancies of house style. It’s a real shame that those older Nevis bottles weren’t regularly available as they would’ve really cemented their place as one of the most unusual spirits in all of Scotland.

Cheers!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 431: Torabhaig Allt Gleann

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tastes a new release from Skye. After the successful launch of their Inaugural Release, the Torabhaig distillery founded on Skye in 2017 came up a few months ago with this second release in their so-called Legacy Series. The young malt, composed from around 300 bourbon barrels from 2017 and 2018, listens to the name Allt Gleann, which means as much as Old Valley. Like its predecessor, it is bottled at 46%.
