Welcome to this weeks episode of the show in which I’ll be taking a look at a selection of Irish Blended Whiskies.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the show in which I’ll be taking a look at a selection of Irish Blended Whiskies.

Sought after and highly in demand, but is it still worth the money?
I’d say yes but it’s always so personal. Blanton’s, a whisky with some serious and very important history. 1984 is when it all started and in 2020, it is still going so strong.
Check our the video for the full history and why this is one of the most important products in Bourbon, if not whisky history.
Cheers!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 314: Bruichladdich 14 Year Old 2006 Liquid Art
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, finishes of his series of Feis Ile videos with a brand new Bruichladdich. He was fortunate enough to experience the very first presentation of this new release of Liquid Art during a live-stream. It did not take long before it arrived on his doorstep. This 14 years old Bruichladdich was bottled at a cask strength of 51.7%.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 313: Lagavulin 10 Year Old Travel Exclusive
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, tries another undisclosed Ileach. One of the fun things of going on holiday is… shopping in the duty free, of course! On the way back from his ski holiday in Austria, Mark discovered this young Lagavulin 10 Year Old at the airport for a very fair price. So he gave it a new home.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the show. The title of this show stands for Corn. Rye. Wheat and that’s exactly what I’ll be tasting!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 312: Islay 8 Year Old Ypres Whisky Friends / The Magnificent Five
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, tries an Islay whisky. The guys of the Ypres Whisky Friends have realized their first club bottling. It’s an Islay Blended Malt, although that is to be taken with a grain of salt. The cask number leaves no doubt that this is a Laphroaig, according to insiders teaspooned with a bit of Caol Ila, so that it can no longer be termed single malt. They share the cask with the Magnificent Five – also from Belgium – who took the rest of the cask, but selected a totally different packaging.

Not this week folks, his samples didn’t arrive!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 311: Vital Spark 5 Year Old 2013
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, tries an undisclosed Ileach. Vital Spark is a release from the Meadowside Blending Co, which we are familiar with because of their releases of The Maltman and The Grainman. While it is not mentioned as such on the label, it is a public secret that this third batch is a single oloroso sherry cask of my beloved Caol Ila (which is not necessarily true for batch 1 and 2!). Oh, will you look at that color…
