Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 481: Old Rhosdhu 29 Year Old 1993 for The Roots

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries a 29-year-old malt! Belgian bottler The Roots selected a hogshead from the Loch Lomond distillery that was filled in 1993 with a spirit type that they produced between 1966 and 2000. The malt was given the name Old Rhosdhu. The hogshead, on which this malt lay dormant for almost three decades, yielded 222 bottles at cask strength. The malt was neither colored nor chill filtered.

https://youtu.be/G2aI9TxNGeU

It’s been so long since I’ve reviewed a Loch Lomond product that the time has come! Aged for a majority of its life in ex-American Oak, and then being finished for a short period in Limousin Oak casks, this is a rich, volumous, and very flavourful single malt. Encompassing all parts of the flavour chart, including that subtle smoke that the standard Loch Lomond is famous for. This is another epitome of classic Highland style.

Whisky Wednesday Reviews Glen Garioch 12YO, 48%

https://youtu.be/nxMbNxRMdGI

Why doesn’t Glen Garioch get talked about? Within the indie bottling world, Glen Garioch is an easily accessible and relatively affordable whisky, albeit from infinitely refilled bourbon casks. But why aren’t the distillery offerings talked about? Not even by the distilleries owners? It seems as if Glen Garioch, despite the investment, has been left to one side while Auchentoshan gets more attention. Just doesn’t seem right to me.

This is their 12YO offering. Natural colour, unfiltered and bottled at 48%, what’s to dislike on the forefront of this? A healthy combination of sherry and bourbon casks is fueling this wonderfully forward and fruity profile. It’s honestly so tasty that it’s rather criminal that we don’t even talk about it that much.
