Welcome to this weeks episode of the show. This week I’m taking a look at the recently re-packaged Benromach core range.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the show. This week I’m taking a look at the recently re-packaged Benromach core range.

We made it, it’s over. I will say that I am slightly sad about this, this range of Macallan was such an insight into their wood selections, the variances and the business projects they involved themselves with. Most important was the almost 100% transparency, minus the age statements, and the fun that they brought with these releases.
Edition 6 is a selection of European and American Oak seasoned Hogshead and Butts. Uniting in a rich, deep flavour of chocolate orange, peanuts and honeysuckle. A delicious example of what Macallan can do.



Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 345: Macallan Classic Cut 2019
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, enjoys another Macallan. The Classic Cut series was launched in 2017 and can be seen as an homage to the Macallan from an era gone by – before the launch of the Fine Oak, where bourbon casks made their introduction. It’s a yearly limited release of Macallan that matured exclusively on sherry casks – well, sherry seasoned casks to be clear – and bottled at cask strength. This is the 2019 edition, bottled at 52.9%.
Welcome to this weeks episode of the show in which I’ll be looking at some of the latest releases from independent bottler James Eadie.

Arran is a whisky distillery that is still growing up; they’ve only just hit their mid-twenties. But, wow. For a distillery that is still in infancy, in the grand scheme of whisky, they’re giving us product after product of well made, balanced, robust, characterful single malt whiskies. This is The Bothy or The Quarter Cask. Nine years of full Bourbon matured raucousness in a bottle. Cask strength, natural colour, non-chill filtered. £50. TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 344: Macallan 18 Year Old Triple Cask Matured
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, ventures to Macallan. In their Triple Cask Matured series, this is a very nice one with 18 years of maturation on three types of casks: American and European sherry seasoned casks and American bourbon casks. Just like the 15 years old, this one is cut to 43%. It was bottled in 2018.
