Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 498: Unnamed Orkney 16 Year Old 2006 The Ultimate

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tastes an undisclosed malt from Orkney. When the label says ‘Unnamed Orkney’, we all know what’s inside the bottle and it isn’t Scapa. In this case it’s a malt from 2006 matured for 16 years on a sherry cask and then bottled by the Dutch company van Wees in their famous The Ultimate series. Bit of a quirky nose, but lovely on the palate.

Auction Wins #2

https://youtu.be/aYtXSgB8Czc

Welcome to another auctions haul here at Whisky Wednesday!

There were meant to be three bottles…but I was an idiot and dropped one. If you want to see what that should’ve looked like then please head over to our Instagram – @thisiswhiskywednesday.

Bottles one is a 1961 distilled, bottled 1967 bottling of Canadian Club. Picked up for an absolute bargain of £25 due to the possible issues faced with a damage seal and a torn label. Nonetheless, it tastes very good, almost like the modern bottling, but it looks incredible.

Bottle two is a classic and somewhat historical bottling of Clynelish 12YO, at 40% ABV, bottled fot Ainslie and Heilbron, bottled by Gordon & Macphail. A beautifully fruity, slightly sour example of vintage Clynelish from about four decades ago. Also attained for a bargain price of £25 a bottle, albeit a smaller one.

Looking forward to getting more cool stuff from auction sites in the future, but do let me know if there’s anything I should be looking out for. Cheers!

Welcome to this week’s episode of the show in which I’ll be taking a look at the White Peak Distillery which is just up the road in Derbyshire.
