Best in Blog #74: The Oldest Whisky in the World and a £500 Whisky Shopping Spree
For all my fellow drammers out there looking under the couch for change to finance their next purchase, the Whisky Exchange has an offer you can’t pass up. Submit a name for a new, upscale bourbon (from a nameless distillery), and you could win a £500 shopping spree at Whisky Exchange.
Tasting Notes From Bloggers We Trust:
- Master of Malt has notes on Mortlach 70 – officially the oldest whisky in the world. John Hansell has more information about the release, from independent bottlers Gordon & MacPhail.
- Cask Strength reviews two young whiskies – Kavalan and St. George (English).
- John Hansell is very impressed with the 2009 Autumn Release from Kilchoman.
- John also has kind words for Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey Batch #49.
- Whisk(e)y Apostle reviews Redbreast 12.
- Whisky Notes cracks open a Glenburgie 5 year old distilled in 1965. He also tries the Kilkerran Work in Progress, finding a distinctly different profile than I, and a 15 year old Aultmore.
- Whisky for Everyone has a Laphroaig 16 from Old Malt Cask, Oak Cross from Compass Box, and a GlenDronach 15 year old.
- Whisky Host recommends Cragganmore 12.
- Whisky Israel tries Jura Superstition, and a dram of Talisker 57′ North.
- Whisky Fun pits a Macallan 31 head to head with an Armagnac.
- Finally, Whisky Fun takes another crack at reviewing cheap scotches, and throws in an interview with fellow whisky blogger Joshua Hatton to boot. The reviews are pretty terrible.
Whisk(e)y News on the Web:
- Manga and Japanese Whisky?
