The Good Dram Show – Episode 489 ‘James Eadie’
Welcome to this week’s episode of the show, in which I’ll be taking a look at the latest batch of single cask releases from James Eadie. The Good Dram Show with Chris Goodrum Episode 489
Drumshambo Single Pot Still Whiskey, 43%
The Shed Disitllery in Ireland have long been a favourite of my family, but mainly for gin…turns out they also have a whiskey!
A single pot still whiskey comprised of malted barley, unmalted barley, and Irish barra oats! All working wonderfully together, along with barrel influences from Kentucky and Spain, this rich, creamy, Pot Still spice whisky is a true contender to take the place of some high-ranking bottles from across Ireland.
Bottled at 43%, natural colour and un-chill filtered, at roughly around what Redbreast now want for their 12YO, this thing is stepping into the boots of a rather big brand and taking, for me, quite abit of its limelight.
But with all things fun and new in Irish whiskey, this product is very much at the front of the queue. Hopefully, you’ll agree too!
Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 472: Tomintoul 16 Year Old
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a standard Speysider. Tomintoul is a young (°1964) and lesser-known distillery that is quietly working to put itself on the map. Although they still supply the vast majority of their production for the blends of Whyte & Mackay, they also bottle single malt. In May 2021, Mark participated in an online masterclass, organized by importer Cinoco, and this was in the line-up. It charmed without being really great. But for 50 EUR you do have an honest entry-level malt, made of mainly first fill bourbon-aged and only a little sherry-aged Tomintoul.
