An education: visiting the Irish Whiskey School with Jameson (so far)

Skriven den 04 september 2014. Publicerad i Edinburg Whisky Blog

I’m just back from Ireland, where I have been with the fine folks from Irish Distillers (Midleton, Jameson, Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Redbreast and more) at their hugely impressive distilling complex in Midleton. This site has nearly 200 years history, with it originally being an old mill (handy for water and barley) in the late [...]...

Braeval 1994 (Tasting Fellows)

Skriven den 24 augustii 2014. Publicerad i Whiskynotes.be

1994 is the year in which Braes of Glenlivet was baptised Braeval . Like The Glenlivet, the distillery was owned by Chivas Brothers and they wanted to avoid confusion.

Braeval is one of these distilleries that are released more often in the last two years. There’s more demand for whisky in general, and bottlers start looking for lesser known names to fill the gap, I guess. This Braeval 1994 is bottled by Tasting Fellows .

Braeval 18 yo 1994 (55,3%, Tasting Fellows 2013, barrel #165661, 170 btl.)

Nose: ripe, local fruits like apples and peaches. Mirabelles. A fair dose...

Irish malt 2003 (Whisky-Fässle)

Skriven den 22 augustii 2014. Publicerad i Whiskynotes.be

Another Irish malt , why not? A younger version this time, distilled in 2003 and hand-picked by Whisky-Fässle .

Irish Single Malt Whiskey 10 yo 2003 (49,5%, Whisky-Fässle 2014, hogshead)

Nose: again really fruity, but in a sweeter, more candied way. Banana candy, pear liqueur, mirabelles. Also a strawberry bubblegum note. Vanilla. Quite creamy, slightly buttery even, with less of the bright maracuja notes. Mouth: sweet and candied on all levels, Piña Colada style. Bananas of course. Nutmeg, pepper and ginger, which indicate some active wood. Malt whiskey that’s not too far from certain grains. Finish: long, but the...

Mortlach Rare Old

Skriven den 21 augustii 2014. Publicerad i Thewhiskyexchange.com

After months of speculation and waiting (and hoarding of the Mortlach Flora and Fauna ) the new whiskies from Mortlach are finally here. Well, the first one is – Mortlach Rare Old .

The new range: Rare Old, Special Strength (exclusive to travel retail), 18yo and 25yo

It’s the entry-level bottling for the new range, which will be completed by 18 and 25 year old whiskies as well as a travel retail exclusive, and is very much a statement of intent. While most people’s only real exposure to Mortlach has been through the Flora and Fauna bottling, there’s a lot more to the...
