Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 239: Isle of Jura 30 Year Old
Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, goes Jura! It has been way too long since he last tried a whisky from the Isle of Jura. So let him go for the big guns and try a 30 Year Old that listens to the name Camas an Staca, which means as much as Standing Stones. It refers to some of the ancient stones spread over the island. The whisky matured for 27 years in American oak and then got a finish for three years on Spanish Amoroso sherry casks.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 237: Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique
Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, visited the Kavalan Distillery in Taiwan. They have a beautiful range of single casks bottlings in their so-called Solist range. This is one of them: Vinho Barrique, a wine cask. Mark is very fond of the bourbon and sherry matured Kavalan, but wine for him is often hit or miss. But in this case – cask W090220005 that was bottled in 2009 – Mark thinks it is an absolute stunner. The video was shot at the Kavalan Distillery!

Ralfy Publishes Ralfy Review #762
TOBERMORY 2002 MADEIRA CASK FINISH
(OFFICAL TASTING NOTES) For the first time, our non-peated Tobermory spirit has been finished in Madeira wine casks, creating a sweet and surprisingly spicy Single Malt. Starting life in ex whisky casks in 2002, this whisky was transferred to Madeira wine casks to finish for a further two years before our Senior Blender – Dr Kirstie McCallum – decided the time was right to bottle it. Madeira wine, dating back to the age of exploration when the island was a port of call for ships heading to the New World and the East Indies, is a unique fortified wine which is only produced on Madeira. Stored in casks and allowed to mature in the hot sun, this wine is bursting with sweet fruit, caramel and nutty notes. The resulting whisky is rich and sweet, with citrus and orange, soft vanilla caramel, hints of exotic spices and a gentle touch of clove. Non-chillfiltered @ 55.5% abv

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 236: The Picts 21 Year Old 1997 for MMM
Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, bottles another single cask for MMM. In 2019 Mark & Manny will again seek out 4 lovely single casks for their new Tribe Series and they are proud to present the first one to you: The Picts. The label was designed by a Flemish artist who was inspired by the tribes that shaped modern Scotland. And the whisky? Well, that remains a secret. Let’s just say that it was distilled at a world famous distillery – founded in 1886 – in the valley of the deer and matured for 21 long years on a bourbon cask. Nuff said.

Whisky Wednesday Reviews Ledaig – Scotch Whisky News
February 6th, 2019
Ledaig! Hard to pronounce and sometimes even more difficult to find in the wild of whisky hunting. This one, however, seems to be much more attainable and is it worth it? Yes! OH MY GOD, YES! What an absolute monster of a whisky! Personally, i think this leaves Octomore in it’s wake. Huge sherry nose, waves of smoke, salty, briny, bacon-y, smoky sweet goodness, all wrapped up into a neat little package. Easily, one of the best whiskies I’ve ever had the fortune to try. Cheers!
