The Whisky Jury Mden 1997-2020 (55.6%)
Yesterday Seb introduced The Whisky Jury and reviewed two of their whiskies. Today we’ll talk about their first rum, coming from a secret distillery in Jamaica. I didn’t get information about what this distillery is but I personnally have an idea!
Ledaig 9yo 2010 (53.2%, The Whisky Jury)
Bunnahabhain 7yo 2013 (53.2%, The Whisky Jury)
Today I’m gonna test two recent releases by the Belgian independent bottler « Whisky Jury ». They seem to have a very good reputation despite the fact that they are quite new on the bottling scene so let’s see by ourselves with those two you peaters!
Velier Hampden 2011-2020 Red Billed Streamertail (60.3%)
Velier Hampden 2012-2020 Black Bird (59.9%)
Velier Hampden 2012-2020 Chestnut Bellied Cuckoo (61.7%)
Velier Hampden 2010-2020 Owl (62.5%)
Velier Hampden 2010-2020 Mango (59%)
You probably heard about this release. Those are very limited bottlings and this is very hard to get a hand on.
Ben Nevis 22 yo 1996-2019 (55.3%, SMoS)
Ben Nevis 19 yo 1996-2015 (55.5%, Edition Spirit)
Ben Nevis 23 yo 1996-2019 (53.6%, SMoS)
Here we go, another batch of those Ben Nevis 1996! Most of the time those are very consistent, let’s see if it’s also the case for these three bottlings!
Saint James Corman Collins 17yo 2002-2020 (52.4%)
Saint James Brut de fût 2003-2018 (56.4%)
Saint James Confrérie du Rhum 2003-2018 (59%)
A wonderful Saint James trio to face. I already reviewed the CDR bottling right there but I used it as a benchmark for the two others today, so I copy/pasted my thoughts you could’ve read in this article.
Aultmore 9 yo 2011-2020 « Parcel No.4 » (48%, SMoS)
Linkwood 10 yo 2009-2020 « Parcel No.4 » (48%, SMoS)
Speyside 10 yo 2010-2020 « Parcel No.4 » (48%, SMoS)
Clynelish 2010-2020 « French Connections » (55.3% SMoS)
Another part of the Elixir batch that I started last week, let’s see if something shines today!
Duncan Taylor Hampden 1990-2012 (52.9%)
The Rum Cask Hampden 1990-2020 (55.6%)
Today I’ll mainly talk about The Rum Cask Hampden 1990, and I used this lovely Duncan Taylor Hampden 1990 (I already had the chance to taste) as a benchmark. Did you read that the TRC Hampden 30yo has been sold out one day before its official release date? I’ll share with you this anecdotal story.
An Orkney Distillery 18 yo 2000-2019 (57.1%, ElD)
Secret Orkney 18 yo 2000-2019 (53.1%, Le Gus’t)
Highland park is a distillery I really like but unfortunately most of the time the alcohol integration is lacking a bit in my opinion. Let’s see what’s up with those birds!
The Nectar Uitvlugt 1990-2017 (51.7%)
Samaroli Uitvlugt 1998-2017 (49.5%)
Masam Port Mourant 2003-2020 (53.5%)
Gold-coloured Demerara’s today.
Orkney 10 yo 2009-2020 (48%, SMoS for LMDW)
Orkney 13 yo 2007-2020 « Parcel No.4 » (48%, SMoS)
Ledaig 14 yo 2005-2020 (57.1%, SMoS)
Bunnahabhain « Bn8 » 2020 (58.4%, Elements of Islay)
Today I’m tasting some very recent Elixir Distillers releases. Those are mostly young whiskies with some honest price tag so let’s see if it’s good!
