Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 521: Braeckman Double Cask
Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries a Belgian single malt from Belgian distiller Braeckman from Oudenaarde. It was not given an age statement for the understandable reason that this malt matured in first fill bourbon and oloroso sherry casks for 3 to 6 years.

Closed distilleries still carry a mystique for a lot of us whisky drinkers, but some are better than others. Some are more interesting historically. Some are lauded in the correct manner, but where’s does North Port sit in all of this?
A Highland distillery that once shadowed Glencadam and the owner of numerous different names over the century and a half that it existed, it is one of the lesser known ‘lost’ distilleries that now sits in Diageo’s record books of stock that they just don’t know what to do with.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 520: Glen Scotia 10 Year Old 2010 Limited Batch Release
Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, goes to Campbeltown. In 2021, Glen Scotia launched this so-called Limited Batch Release, 1918 bottles strong, for his northern neighbours in The Netherlands. The malt, distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2021, was given a heavy charred finish, which means as much as finished in heavily charred casks. Mark got a serious bottle remnant as a gift from his buddy Manny.
