Advent Dram #23

Cadenhead's Ardnamurchan 5, NC, NCF, 58.1% ABV

Wonderful sweet cherries, strawberries, red currants, and a touch of earthy dunnage. Rich, thick, and mouth-coating, mulled wine with cinnamon, cloves, orange peel, and more dark fruit. Jammy with a slight savouriness. Despite its youth and high ABV, there is no alcohol burn. It is beautifully smooth and quaffable. The cask must have been really active, as the depth of flavour and complexity is astonishing.

This is a real beauty.

A bottle of Cadenhead s Ardnamurchan 5-year-old whisky. The whisky is a dark copper colour. In the background, there is a Christmas Tree ornament and a candle. There is a copita glass next to the bottle containing a measure of whisky.

Just a wee one, keeping an eye on my units.

Whisky Advent #15

Deanston 8, finished in a Banyuls cask. NC, NCF, 55.5% ABV.

This ticks all the boxes for me! On the nose, luscious dark fruit, sultanas, raisins, figs, all coated in sweet, sticky black treacle, similar to a PX finish, only more so. That familiar Deanston waxiness brings dark chocolate, coffee, sweet caramel, spice and more rich fruit. I’m getting a wee hint of Haribo Happy Cola sweeties as well. 😍

An immensely satisfying dram.

A close-up shot of a Glencairn whisky glass with a measure of dark honey-coloured whisky. There are some small bubbles on the surface of the whisky around the glass. The glass is etched with the words "Bow Bar Edinburgh". There is an out-of-focus bottle in the background. Both the bottle and the glass are on a wooden table against a plain cream coloured background.

The same composition as the previous image but with the glass out of focus and the bottle in the background in focus. The bottle says Deanston 8 Banyuls Finish and is about one third full.

DYC lanza un whisky Single Malt de 12 años inspirado en la Sierra de Guadarrama https://www.vinetur.com/2025091991417/dyc-lanza-un-whisky-single-malt-de-12-anos-inspirado-en-la-sierra-de-guadarrama.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Whisky #SingleMalt #DYC #SierraDeGuadarrama #WhiskyEspañol

Spent a nice chunk of time this afternoon divvying up our quarterly scotch group’s bottle samples. Selections include a powerful IB Port Charlotte, a 20yo Highland Park, and classic Glendronach 18. Darn good spread! Looking forward to tasting through these over the next few weeks with my fellow members.

12-jähriger #Aberlour in der Flasche und im Glas. - Für einen günstigen #Whisky 🥃 richtig gut.

Ich habe gerade zum ersten (und sicher auch letzten) Mal 10-jährigen #Ardbeg #SingleMalt #Whisky getrunken. Schmeckt wie eine 9V-Batterie, finde ich. 🥃🤢
Aber ich bin ja sonst auch nur #Bourbon, also Maisplörre gewöhnt.

Friday night fitba and sipping this outstanding Geery from Cadenhead's

Cadenhead's Glen Garioch 11, NC, NCF, 46% abv. Sweet and fruity, plums, pears and lingering spiced apple. Subtle floral notes with a slight savouriness.

Difficult choice for the football: Raith vs Dunfermline in the Scottish Championship or Bayern vs Leipzig in the Bundesliga? Actually, no contest, it has to be the Fife Derby 😂

A rectangular bottle of Glen Garicoh whisky is beside a Glencairn glass containing a dram, both are on a low wooden table.

I rarely drink anymore. A bonus that the whole range of emerging non-alcoholic beverages – beers in particular – has been a lot of fun.

When I do have a rare taste of something 'hard' that makes it a particularly special event.

#SingleMalt Scotch is such a treat! In decades past I've sampled a wide range of Scotland's best, and came to have a few particular favourites.

This evening it's a dram of #Bowmore. I've really gotta visit #Islay some day. Several of the best ones are from there.

A quiet Sunday afternoon sipping this fantastic Deanston and browsing a music book about The Byrds, written by a friend.

Of all the Deanstons I have had, this is my favourite. Nine years in Bourbon barrels and finished for three in Pedro Ximenez casks. Probably not a first-fill PX cask, as whilst the influence is there, it's not overpowering the wonderful Deanston spirit.

Cask Strength at 58.1% ABV, and of course, no chill-filtration or added colour.

Chocolate, orange peel, and strawberries on the nose, with a touch of water releasing further aromas of dark fruit, including figs and raisins. Lovely and sweet on the palate with more fruit, along with nuts, vanilla and caramel. A beautifully balanced dram.

Just 2015 bottles were produced, and sadly, all gone now at the distillery, so I will sip and enjoy it while I can.

Friday night drams and fitba.

Eight-year-old Deanston finished in Banyuls casks, a French fortified wine from the French/Spanish border, NC, NCF at 55.5% ABV.
Dark sticky raisins, sultanas and dates on the nose with wafts of liquorice and cola. Big flavours hit the tongue with more dark fruit, chocolate, treacle toffee, and gentle spice. Lovely waxy mouthfeel to finish.
