Keeper’s Heart 10YO Malaga Cask Finish

https://youtu.be/AwtNVRLDigM

A ‘cereal’ winner here…sorry about that.

A ten year old Irish single malt that is matured in ex-bourbon casks for a majority of its life, before being finished in ex-Malaga wine casks. What could be wrong with this? In my opinion, not much, except distribution, currently.

When you look at other Irish whiskies that are matured in similar casks, Yellow Spot, for instance. It is a rather expensive proposal for something that is unusual, but available at good whisky bars for a decent price. This is something a little off the beaten path, and with someone like Brian Nation behind the final say of a whisky like this, you know the quality is going to be high.

If this was available in the UK then it’s something I’d snap up again in a heartbeat. This is tropical, gentle, has just enough spice to offer contrast, and is easily one of my go-to bottles this summer time. Hopefully it could become one of yours, too.

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries Belgian festival bottling. Saturday, June 14th, whisky enthusiasts from far and wide will gather in the cozy town of Zwijnaarde for the festival When Whisky Meats BBQ. Fantastic location, delicious bites, delightful whisky (and other spirits), but above all, a great atmosphere. And of course, there’s another festival bottling, and just like the previous years, the organizers joined forces with the incomparable Bert Bruyneel of Asta Morris to select a remarkable whisky that is sold at a friendly price at the festival. It’s a Miltonduff 13 Year Old 2011 at 52%, and you pay only 55 EUR for it. That’s impressive! But is it tasty? Let’s find out!

Keeper’s Heart Irish/American Blend, 43%

THE REVIEW

The blending of Irish and American whiskies together has been by some as revolutionary, and others as a slight bastardry against both spirit styles. Personally, I see it as a good thing in the light of getting new people into whisky. 

Keeper’s Heart Irish & American is a blend of Irish grain and triple distilled pot still whiskey, along with some 95% rye from the U.S. All products matured for a minimum of four years in their respected refill and virgin oak casks.

The melding of these styles is extremely complementary. Irish grain offering buttery sweetness, pot still whiskies giving a creamy texture with slight pepperiness, and then rye, offering more spices, mintiness and caramel notes from American virgin oak.

I was genuinely impressed with this whisky, and I believe it can give some big name brands a run for their money when it comes to flavour profile and affordability. This is certainly something to keep an eye if you see it on shelves. It isn’t currently available in the UK, but can be source from the states and the Republic of Ireland.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 563: Dailuaine 10 Year Old Dram4Charity

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, enjoys a whisky released for charity. The series was kicked off in March with an excellent 8-year-old Caol Ila, followed in April by a stunningly delicious Craigellachie. They wrap up with this 10-year-old Dailuaine. The cask type, as with the previous releases, is not disclosed. Mark will have to embark on a discovery journey himself.
