Glencadam White Port Cask, 46%

THE REVIEW

Glencadam has been a distillery that exemplified ‘summer whisky’, for me.

Their 10 year old release is one of the best, most affordable whiskies around that sings the joys of fruity, light, highland whisky.

This white port cask release has been on my radar for a while. I purchased it a month ago and was waiting for a warm spell to open it; there is no better time than now!

Matured in ex-American oak before being vatted together and finished in ex-white port casks, this is another warm weather gem that branches across sweet and light, through to earthy and a little herbal.

Glencadam should certainly be on all of your radars regarding a ‘must try’ distillery style. But if you’re in the market for a very well priced, fresh, boozy style of summer single malt, this certainly should be it.

Rare Find Dailuaine 15YO

THE REVIEW

White wine cask finished Dailuaine?

It’s not a very typical sentence in the whisky world, but one we’re currently working with.

I bought this nearly a year ago on holiday. Buying whisky online whilst lounging the pool is quite a nice feeling. But, this one came with its quirks.

My first sip of it wasn’t my favourite. But overtime this has opened up into a very chocolate, fudget, nutty style of whisky – those notes alone aren’t very Dailuaine, but the pepper driven spice and dryness that comes out at the end of this liquid is something very different.

This was an impulse purchase, I don’t regret it. But I was hoping for a very different style of whisky to what I actually got.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 539: Johnnie Walker Black Label Highland Origin vs Islay Origin

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries two different Black Label expressions. Diageo has invested heavily in recent years in some of the visitor centres of its distilleries. Glenkinchie became the Lowland Home of Johnnie Walker, Cardhu the Speyside Home of Johnnie Walker, Clynelish the Highland Home of Johnnie Walker, and finally Caol Ila the Islay Home of Johnnie Walker. To mark the occasion, four special editions of their flagship – the Johnnie Walker Black Label – were released in the Origin series. Mark tries two of them, namely the Highland Origin and the Islay Origin
