Thompson Bros. Highland Park 22YO
A bottle purchased on an idea of it being interesting. It turns out that it was even more interesting than I even thought. A 22YO Highland Park matured in a refill sherry cask, producing 336 bottles. The nose is umptuous and reminds of all of those classic Highland Park notes.
Then you taste it and things become deeper, darker, more robust and less of those classic sweet notes we associated with official bottles of Highland Park.
This is a darker, brooding, deeper style of single malt that is so forward and intense with its flavours that you just can’t ignore it. Simply excellent and remarkably complex.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 610: Glenmorangie Signet
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a luxurious dram. The Glenmorangie Signet is pretty much the pièce de resistance of this distillery (at least, for the ordinary mortal like you and me). It’s their luxury showpiece, their exception that proves the rule. Signet is a malt conceived and developed by whisky maker Rachel Barrie, under the supervision of Dr Bill Lumsden. It’s a mix of 20% so-called ‘chocolate malt’ and 80% ‘crystal malt’, which is roasted barley. In addition, it’s a vatting of various cask types – sherry, bourbon and wine, but naturally also virgin oak from the Ozarks. And despite the absence of an age statement, we know that even 35-year-old whisky is included in the mix. We’re curious.

Renovations
Hello all! We’ve got some stunning shelving in the office now, so a much better looking backdrop for videos going forward. I would love to hear from you all about what you’d want to see going forward on the channel. There are so many bottles now that I lose track of what to review next!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 609: Invergordon 16 Year Old 2009 Klubb23 for Awel.be
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a single grain. ‘Sipping a nice whisky for a good cause? Count me in!’, says Mark. Klubb23, a Belgian bottler with an undeniably impressive track record by now, is launching this bottle in aid of Awel.be, a Flemish organization that offers free and anonymous support to children and young people via telephone, chat, email, and a forum. Volunteers listen to their stories, questions, or problems such as bullying, relationships, or not feeling comfortable in their own skin. It is a 2009 Invergordon single grain that, after regular maturation, received a finish at an oloroso octave, which is responsible for the beautiful color.
