Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 303: Glenfiddich 23 Year Old Grand Cru

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, tries a recent release from Glenfiddich. As far as Mark is concerned, this Glenfiddich Grand Cru could have been launched as the 5 release in the so-called Experimental Series, for after the regular bourbon and sherry maturation, this whisky was finished for an additional 4 months on first fill and second fill wine casks that were used for the fermentation of wine that would eventually become champagne. But no, this Grand Cru is released in a new ‘Grand’ series, which will see a second and third expression in 2020.

This weeks episode of the #GoodDramShow https://youtu.be/JmiJGuI_fGg features the new releases from. Welcome to this weeks episode of the show in which I’ll be reviewing the latest releases from the independent bottler Jame Eadie. These were due to be unrelieved at this months whisky tasting evening but covid-19 put the kibosh on that, so this video will have to suffice.

With all the bad stuff happening around the world, let’s open some long forgotten whiskies and enjoy! This is a series I hope to run for a while, taking you all through the tastes of closed distilleries! This video features: Glen Flagler 40%, 1970’s bottling – Only existing from 1965 to 1985, Glen Flagler is one of the shortest lived distilleries in Scottish history. A light and embracing lowland style that’s very reminiscent of current Daftmill bottles. Glenesk 40%, 1980’s bottling – A distillery with five different names in just under one hundred year history. Alluring and tropical on the nose and then, boom! This very staring and unusual aftertaste. Cheers!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 302: Glenfiddich 21 Year Old Winter Storm

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, tries a hyped malt from one of the world’s most famous distilleries. The third release in Glenfiddich’s Experimental Series – the Winter Storm – took the shelves by storm (see what I did there?) and sold out in a matter of days. A second and even third batch had to be produced. What makes Winter Storm special is the fact that this Glenfiddich matured for 21 years on bourbon casks before getting a finish of three months on casks that previously held ice wine. Peller Estates from the Canadian Niagara-on-the-Lakes (that’s right, near the famous waterfalls) harvests the grapes for this wine at -10° Celsius in the moonlight. This is not just folklore, it’s when the grapes have their highest concentration of sugars. The Glenfiddich malt spend three months in these casks to become the subtle single malt that has proved so popular.
