Rum Nation Hampden 1990 Supreme Lord VII (45%)
Samaroli Hampden 1992 (52%)
Berry Bro’s Hampden 1990 (46%)
Let’s start the week with some Hampden oldies and these are all older than me! I’m especially loving this distillery and really have high expectations for those three rums.
Littlemill 21 yo 1989-2010 (57.4%, The Stillman’s)
Littlemill 27 yo 1992-2019 (49.8%, Cadenhead)
Today I have two Littlemills waiting to be tested. I really like the Littlemill profile and usually the 90’s ones are a safe bet !
Savanna Unshared cask Germany 2004-2019 (53.6%)
Savanna Unshared cask Réunion 2007-2019 (48%)
Savanna Unshared cask Belgium 2007-2018 (57.6%)
Three Savanna’s bottlings, one for each country. Savanna worked with independant bottlers or importers to release it in each country (Rum Artesanal for Germany & Premium Spirit for Belgium). These are country limited editions.
Waterford 2016-2020 « Ballykilcavan 1.1 » (50%, OB)
Waterford 2016-2020 « Bannow Island 1.1 » (50%, OB)
Waterford 2016/2020 « Ratheadon 1.1 » (50%, OB)
Today I’ll have a special tasting session. Those 3 bottles generated a lot of hype in the community. The bottles that everyone suddenly wants! Let’s try those.
Vélier Monymusk 1997-2019 for G. Begnoni (67.9°)
Monymusk’s are boring in my opinion, but I heard by my friend Alex that I should taste this one, so let’s try it !
Ledaig 10yo 2004-2015 (62.3%, Signatory Vintage)
Ledaig 12yo 2008-2020 (55.9%, Archives)
Sometimes you need to relax and enjoy some good and easy young peated whisky while listening to music, or enjoy some times with friends. So let’s try some from the 2000s and see what happens.
Rum Artesanal New Yarmouth 2009-2020 (66.9%)
Rum Artesanal New Yarmouth 1994-2020 (67.7%)
I’m a huge fan of Jamaican rums, especially high ester ones and New Yarmouth rums used to be extreme !
This year the german independent bottler « Rum Artesanal » released two New Yarmouth at a really fair price. On the paper they seem to be very different, are they really?
Tormore 24yo 1995-2019 (45.4%, Le Gus’t)
This one is quite unexpected as Tormore is not really a super famous distillery, but we found a big pearl with a horn, trust me !
Corman Collins Diamond 2003-2018 (58.3%)
The best way to begin this project is of course to start where it began for me. Two years ago, 2018, the first time I decided to buy a bottle of this price (155€) in the Corman Collins shop in Belgium, not far from my home. This was his brand new bottling, a 15 year old Diamond 2003. And the magic happened !
