Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 287: Glen Elgin 13 Year Old 2000 Spirit of Scotland
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a summery dram! Glen Elgin can be found – as the name suggest – near the city of Elgin in Speyside. Together with Mannochmore and Glenlossie, it’s an integral part of the blend White Horse. There are hardly any official releases and the core range consists of only the rather boring Glen Elgin 12 Year Old which can be purchased for less than 40 EUR. Mark, however, tries a 13 years old from 2000, selected by Van Wees in Holland, but bottled by Spirit of Scotland. FYI: this is the ‘b-label’ of Gordon & Macphail, although they have released quite a few gems under this label.
In this weeks episode of the show I’ll be taking a look at the new age statement releases from Balblair.
Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 286: The Vikings 11 Year Old 2007 for MMM
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, presents his own newest release. We have arrived at the fourth and final release in MMM’s – Mark & Manny’s Malt – Tribe Series. Tradition dictated that Mark and Manny search for a smoky whisky and this year is no exception, but contrary to what you might expect they did not go for an Islay or Island whisky. No, they discovered this extraordinary cask… in the Highlands. They are very happy that they can conclude their Tribe Series with such a lovely single cask. It was a year that will be hard to trump, but the hunt for new casks for their fifth year has already started.
This weeks episode of the show takes an in depth look at the relatively new Gordon & MacPhail Discovery Range.
