The Good Dram Show – Episode 286 ‘Glenmorangie & Glenfiddich‘
This week’s episode of the show asks the question, have we become too elitist and snobby for Glenfiddich and Glenmorangie?

New range, new look, new liquids! Old Pulteney have always made whisky that’s caught my eye. Loving the retro label style as well, beyond that though is the liquid. Are they as good as hey old 17YO & 21YO are? Well, no but that’s because they’re totally different styles. The 15YO is so delicate with lemon, honey and toffee – the old salty not of OP is still around but it’s not as big as it was on the 17, which was by far one of the saltiest single malts i’ve ever tried. This is delicate and light and the second best value in the range for me. Cheers!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 215: Kintra 9th Confidential Cask (Inchmurrin 2007)
Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries an Inchmurrin! Kintra has just bottled their 9th so-called Confidential Cask. These are single casks of which the name of the distillery is not revealed – hence the name. This one, however, has been unmasked a an Inchmurrin from 2007. Mark is intrigued as Inchmurrin certainly is not in his top ten, but the last few months he hears much praise about this malt.
It’s not everyday that you get try something older than yourself, It really isn’t everyday that i get to try something older than a lot of my close family. This 43YO whisky is one of the finest examples of Highland whisky that has ever graced my lips.
A nose of candle wax, pine, spruce, lime, lemon and subtle smoke with vanilla. The palate delivers a subtle style, nothing too crazy in the way of different flavours, most of the flavours form the nose are backed up with this, but my god the texture! It’s unbelievable! Words can’t even do it justice. As it develops it becomes layered and spicy from oak influence and the natural cask strength of it. The finish is long, layered, balanced and in all honesty one of the finest examples of old single malt on the planet. It’s cheaper and older than most of it’s rivals, a once in a life time experience! Thank you to my dear friend for letting me try it! Cheers!
