From the sun kissed and occasionally wind swept coasts of Melbourne, we present, Starward! A distillery proud of its locality and heritage of the wine making in the area. Two Fold is a wheat influenced malt whisky – distilled and ageing two separate spirits in wine casks, vatting together at the end of their maturation cycles to create Makers Mark but from Melbourne? If you’re an experimenter with whisky and enjoy something different, look no further! Cheers!

Whisky Ramblings 301: West Cork 12 Year Old Port Cask Finish

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, tries an Irish single malt. The Irish West Cork Distillery Company was founded in 2003, but the first years were spent distilling in a shed with two small stills bought from a Swiss schnapps distillery. Since 2014 they moved to larger premises in Skibbereen. The 12 Year Old Port Cask Finish matured on bourbon barrels before it spent a few months on port casks.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 300: Cardhu 18 Year Old

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, goes back to basics. Around 70% of what is distilled at Cardhu goes into the famous Johnnie Walker blends. The other 30% hits the market as single malt. We’ll try the 18 Year Old, which is very popular in France, Portugal, Spain and Greece. This has everything to do with the local warm climate, where this fruity Speyside truly shines.

Double distilled Irish single malt? Not words you hear together alot. However, between the folks at Cooley Distillery – they’ve made this style a more welcome and somewhat traditional approach to the modern Irish style. Bourbon, Oloroso and Moscstel wine casks unite together for this wonderfully juicy and summer driven style of fruity Irish style, a personal favourite. Cheers!

Welcome to this week’s episode of the show. This episode is dedicated to the Mackmyra Reserve cask programme, which allows the general public to purchase their own small 30 litre cask. These samples give you an idea of what happens to the spirit in these small casks and when you should bottle them.
