Welcome to the second episode of the show for this week. In this episode I’ll be reviewing a few new-ish releases from Mossburn and a couple of older releases in Elixir’s elements of Islay range.
Turntable Whiskies 03: Purple Haze, 46%
Purple Haze! All up in my…glass? Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, but luckily, the whisky is as impactful to taste as that song is when you first hear it.
We have:
44% Balmenach in a Pedro Ximinez Puncheon
42% Craigellachie in an Oloroso sherry butt
14% Invergordon in an ex-Sherry cask
All of these profiles really work soundly together. They amplify each other and are very complimentary. But, it’s still Craigellachie that leads the way with its slightly salt, soft savoury notes, all backed up with that densely soaked sherry profile. A true charmer and a very, very memorable blended whisky.
Massive congratulations to Turntable Whiskies for this release. It is rather special!
Welcome to this week’s episode of the show on which I’ll be taking a look at the new English distillery Circumstance based in Bristol.
Welcome, one and all, to Turntable Track 02: Firestarter!
Roaring in west coast peat and keeping the heat going with loads of virgin oak influence, here we have a rather interesting blend that has brought together two very powerful types of flavour in the whisky industry.
We have a liquid make up of:
40% Caol Ila matured in virgin oak.
23% Cameronbridge in virgin oak.
22% Benrinnes in virgin oak.
15% Invergordon in virgin oak.
Much to mull over here, but as you’ll see in the video I’ve got an issue with this selection of things. Please do watch to see if you agree with me.
