ralfy review 982 – Talisker 10yo @45.8%vol: (2023)

Indri Single Malt, Indri Distillery, in northern India.

It’s been such a long time since I’ve reviewed Indian whisky. I’ve genuinely no idea why.

Matured near the foothills of the Himalayas in a village called Indri, this whisky is distilled and matured in the classic way, although the maturation takes a slight twist with ex-bourbon, ex-PX sherry, and then some French red wine casks. Rather lovely indeed.

First out of the gate, the nose and finish on this are truly wonderful. The smell is a wash with fresh blackberry and mint, following that on are loads of toffee and pineapple. The finish is all about Bottled In Bond Bourbon. If you love the warmth of 50% ABV whisky, this is an absolute must!

The whisky did fall down for me on the taste front. It has lots of soft oak and barrel spice, but that’s all I could really pull from it. That was a true shame.

Overall, though, if you’ve never tried Indian whisky or love bourbon and want to try Indian whisky, this is a truly affordable and easily accessible way to do it. Cheers!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 490: Mortlach 14 Year Old 2008 Carn Mor

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries a bottle from the Beast of Dufftown! He recently got a visitor from Virginia, USA, and again his friend John brought some nice bottles. This time it is a 14-year-old Mortlach that was bottled at 47.5% after a finish on Moscatel casks. Mark assumes that this is not cask strength. The malt has been given a fantastic color by the wine.
