Apples and pears

The Sunday Quest for Malternatives, today Calvados
www.whiskyfun.com
I have very, very little experience with calvados. I’ve tried a few very good ones but many have also been too ‘apple-y’ for my taste, with this very particular grittiness. Let’s see what will happen, knowing that this will be a two, or even three-part session.

Old fashioned old plum

The Quest for Malternatives, today French vieille prune
www.whiskyfun.com
There’s an aged spirit that’s a little old-fashioned in France, and probably not very famous anywhere else, it’s the ‘vieille prune’, which means ‘old plum’. It’s obviously plums, usually akin to zwetschkes, that are distilled and then aged in oak casks. The best variety is called ‘prune d’Ente’. Vi…

The Sunday Quest for Malternatives, tequila reposado

It seems that tequila (and mezcal) do not obligatorily age gracefully in oak. I know some friends who are tequila freaks and who would never choose an ‘anejo’ over a reposado (aged for a few months) or a joven (not aged in oak). I’ve almost only tasted anejos so far, thinking that ‘if oak does good…

Old Glen Grant again

The Short Sessions, two really old Glen Grant

After some very old Karuizawa or Glenfarclas, Wealth Solutions have recently issued a very old Glen Grant 1948 by Gordon & MacPhail. I had first thought I’d select another old Glen Grant by G&M as a worthy opponent, but the ones I have at hand were all bottled at around 40% vol., which is a bit lowi…
