Welcome to this weeks episode of the show in which I’ll be taking a look at the new releases from Morrison Distillers in their Carn Mor ‘Strictly Limited’ range.
Campbeltown Loch is a wonderful idea to showcase the variety of whisky that is produced in the Campbeltown area of Scotch whisky.
Huge names:
Springbank
Longrow
Hazelburn
Kilkerran
Glen Scotia
Bringing together some of these intensely coastal and fragrant flavour profiles gives us an honest and even more transparent look at the distilleries of Campbeltown.
Trying to get hold of this bottle was only attainable as a result of my friend, Matt, in London. A few quick clicks and it was mine for £39 before shipping. But the chaos around Springbank, my god. People fighting in queues for bottles, groups getting changed in cars to jump back into the line for extra bottles, websites being crashed, secondary market explosions…you all do know that there are other, and in some cases, better whiskies available on the market? I have bowed at the altar of Springbank, but I don’t believe they are the be all and end all of whisky. Pull yourselves together.

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.
Welcome to this weeks episode of the show in which I’ll be re-visiting the Bimber distillery and taking a look at a selection of their bottlings along with their new new blended malt, Apogee XII.
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 17th 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.
