Welcome to this week’s episode of the show. As the nights draw in and the days grow shorter ones thoughts turn to a bit of peat! So, I’m going to review some peat!
Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 471: The Dalmore 12 Year Old
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a whisky at the very distillery that made it. When visiting The Dalmore distillery in Allness, Mark had a bottle of The Dalmore 12 Year Old and a glass in his back pack. That was too good an opportunity to let pass, of course.
The Good Dram Show – Episode 487 ‘Milk & Honey Distillery’
The Good Dram Show – Episode 487 ‘Milk & Honey Distillery’ – Welcome to this week’s episode of the show in which I’ll be taking a look at a selection of the Milk & Honey distilleries Apex bottlings.
I’ve grown tired of Ardbeg in the past few years. Overly expensive bottles with fabulous yet distracting labels, with the whisky inside being underwhelming no matter which angle you look at it. I didn’t try all of the limited releases, granted. But from what I have tried, all the above applied.
But then I got to try this. Joe poured me a sample, and I was sold. A bourbon forward Ardbeg, over 50% with a young age on it. Wonderful, classic, what I want from Ardbeg, a whisky that is as interesting as most of the core range.
The Ardbeg 8YO for Discussion is something I haven’t heard many people talk about, I’ve seen a lot of people sell them despite still being available through Ardbeg’s website for a decent price. So, let’s start talking about this rather classic Ardbeg in a sea of expense.
Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 470: D.R.K.N.S.S. by Asta Morris
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries an enigmatic malt. D.R.K.N.S.S. or simply ‘Darkness’ is a PX sherry matured secret Lowland single malt bottled by the Belgian indie bottler Asta Morris, Mark’s good friend Bert Bruyneel. Allow Mark to introduce a new term to describe this whisky: ‘slobber whisky’. For it simply is that quaffable and delicious.
Welcome to this week’s episode of the show. It’s been over a year since my last Springbank episode, so mea culpa!
