Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 358: Ledaig 26 Year Old 1993 Casqueteers
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a peaty malt from Mull. Casqueteers is a brotherhood of whisky lovers that purchase a cask every now and then in which you can buy a part. They recently bottled a single cask Ledaig from 1993, giving it the wonderful age of 26 years. Cask #243 was laid down on 5th March 1993 and bottled on the 10th September 2010.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 357: Rosebank 30 Year Old 1990 Release One – Scotch Whisky News

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 357: Rosebank 30 Year Old 1990 Release One
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, is very excited… It is fair to say that that Rosebank is in the top five of closed distilleries. This King of the Lowlands was shut down in 1993 and for the longest time it looked like it would never re-open. But then Ian MacLeod stepped in and announced in 2017 that they would bring Rosebank back. The renovations have started and in the run up to the reopening they will release some of the old stocks that were part of the deal in buying the name from Diageo. This one matured for no less than 30 years and is aptly named Release One.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 356: Talisker Distillery Exclusive 2007
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a distillery exclusive from Skye. As long as there is a pandemic, Mark will continue his online whisky tastings, the so-called WhisQy Masterclasses. WhisQy with the Q of Quarantine of course. They are quite popular which makes him happy, for it allows him to share drams and stories despite the crisis. In the fifth edition Mark presented a line-up of Talisker which included this Distillery Exclusive from 2017. Some 6.000 bottles were released and the label reveals the following: ‘First matured in refill oak casks, then specially charred American Oak hogsheads, before finally maturing in old European Oak puncheons’.
