Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 368: Nc’nean Malts, Spirits & Cocktails

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, takes us on quite a journey this time around. He was quite fond of the first release by Nc’nean, so much so that he got all batches so far. In this rambling Mark has put them head to head. But he also discovered their botanical spirit and barrel aged spirit and couldn’t resist creating a few cocktails with them. Sit back, relax and enjoy!

ralfy review 862 Extras – Whisky & Cigars 2021

A bourbon that isn’t driven by heavy caramels and vanilla. A bourbon that is blended for a point of difference with stocks of the distilleries own now. A wonderful addition to your daily sipper cabinet.

High West was always abit of an illusion to me. Not easy to find in the UK, some very unusual titles and art work that is reminiscent of wanted posters from the late 1800’s. I’ve been a fan of their rarer options that I’ve been able to get hold of, but at £40 a bottle, the American Praire Bourbon is a must have. Cheers!

ralfy review 861 – Hazelburn 10yo @46%vol: (2021)

2020 will be remembered as so many things for so many different people; luckily, whisky stayed strong. We all moved into different platforms and tech regarding tasting events and purchasing, but when something special stands out it deserves credit.

Kilkerran 12YO or Wild Turkey 101. Who won?

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 367: Johnnie Walker Blue Label Legendary Eight

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, was secretly hoping for a fourth release in the Ghost & Rare Series and this one actually would fit in that series (same luxurious packaging and it has some ‘ghost’ distilleries in the mix), but for the 200th anniversary Johnnie Walker launched this Blue Label under the banner Legendary Eight. That tells us three things. One: the blend is composed of legendary whiskies, being the malts Lagavulin, Oban, Teaninich, Blair Athol and Brora, upholstered with the grains Port Dundas, Cameronbridge and Cambus. Two: if you are going to call your whisky legendary, it needs to contain liquid from closed distilleries. Yep: Brora, Port Dundas and Cambus fit the bill. Third: it will not come cheap. This release will set you back some 300 EUR.
