Welcome to this weeks episode of the show in which I’ll be reviewing some new-ish releases from both Stauning and Starward. What do they have in common? Watch and find out!
Well, it’s finally here. I have been waiting and praying for an official Laphroaig with robust sherry influences for quite a while. my wish has now been granted. Hello, Islay. Here you are again with another stunning sherry cask product. Easily one of the best official releases of anything that I’ve had in a while, and one of the bottles I’ve been most excited to talk to you all about. An absolute stunner.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 404: Deanston 13 Year Old 2007 Signatory for Belgium & Luxembourg
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries his 19th Deanston. ‘I’m somewhat surprised that this is only my 19th Deanston so far’, he muses. It’s a bottling from Signatory for the Belgian and Luxemburg market. No less than 851 bottles were drawn from this first fill sherry butt, albeit at 46% ABV.
Welcome to another viewers’ selection episode of the show. This week I’ll be looking at some recent releases from the Independent bottler Cadenheads. Beware there’s a Dufftown in the line up!
I’ve been chasing a bottle of this for years! And now I’ve got my chance. Ben Nevis lays forgotten. Amongst whisky nerds and indie bottle chasers it is a ‘must have’. But for the regular drinkers in the world, it just isn’t around. Is it a small place? Yes. Is distribution a little halted? Possibly. Either way, chase this stuff because it is honestly very good bang for your buck. There’s a funkiness to this product which I’ve only ever experienced once before in a Whisky Shop Exclusive Loch Lomond. But with that funk is a sweet and earthy palate of dark chocolate, cream, heather honey and a soft toffee’d start. Honestly get some, it is rather good and worth the attention.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the show. Today I’ll be taking a look at the June 2021 releases from Edition Spirits.
Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 403: Westward Pinot Noir Casks
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, discovers Oregon. An Amercan single malt whiskey. Not something you come across every day. A single malt from Oregon, that in itself sounds very interesting. Distilled from locally grown barley and matured in a climate with hot dry summers and cold wet winters, allowing for maximum interaction between the spirit and the wood. They currently have three expressions: their American single malt and then one finished on Stout Casks and one finished on Pinot Noir Casks from Suzor Wines. Mark quite liked the first one and the last one is now in his glass. Beautiful bottle too.
