The first batch of the GlenDronach cask strength comprises 12,000 bottles and the company describes the nose as being, “a luscious balance of succulent sherry aromas explode in honey-drizzled golden sultanas spiced by warm oak and gentle ginger”. The 54.8% ABV whisky is non chill filtered and of a natural colour, with a palate that gives, “intense toffee and cocoa cascade into the rich sherry-soaked dark fruits. Zested orange explodes in the long, alcohol-infused chocolate fondant.”

Notes van Ruben Luyten, Whiskynotes.be

Bowmore 11 yo 2001 (50,6%, The Whiskyman 2013, bourbon cask, 240 btl.)

Nose: quite a gristy nose, with a deeply malty core. Hints of digestive biscuits and batter. A few buttery notes. Light charcoal notes, rather than real smoke or peat, and a vague ripe fruitiness in the background (I’d say banana and citrus). The longer you let it breathe, the fruitier it gets (nice tangerine after some time). Even a few farmy notes. More complex than you’d expect on first sight. Mouth: oily, more phenolic now, more coastal as well. Still these dough or batter associations. Liquorice and gentle peppercorns. Sweet citrus notes. Finish: medium long, warming and rather sweet, with balanced cold ashes and a soft earthiness.

In my view, Bowmore is the new Caol Ila. All these younger drams are faultless and more often than not very entertaining whiskies. And while other Islay whiskies are sometimes hard to get from indie bottlers, Bowmore is still readily available. Around € 65.

Score: 88/100

Nieuw in de Range van Glenmorangie!

De Glenmorangie Ealanta 19 years old 1993!
0,70 ltr 46%

The 19-year-old Glenmorangie, which has a 46% abv, has been aged in American white oak casks and is described as having a toffee and butterscotch aroma, with sugar almonds and vanilla on the palate. Glenmorangie distilling and whisky creation director Dr. Bill Lumsden began experimenting with virgin oak casks made from wood grown in the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri, US in the early 1990s. “Having discovered these casks and sampled them, I realised then what a jewel we had and immediately had the casks secreted in a safe place,” he said. “Over the years I have kept a close eye on their progress, and although the final recipe for Glenmorangie Ealanta is from me and my team, it’s a real pleasure to see the original experiment see the light of day at last…and be still here to celebrate it.” The Private Edition range comprises of three other experimental whiskies aged in different wood types. They include the Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX (aged in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks), the Glenmorangie Finealta (aged in American white oak and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks), and the Glenmorangie Artein (aged in rare Tuscan wine casks). Lumsden added that the Ealanta’s use of virgin oak would impart a pure flavor, setting the whisky apart from the preceding whiskies in the Private Edition series. "Using virgin oak casks that have been heavily toasted adds huge mouth-filling, buttery, creamy, vanilla flavours – somewhat like a crème brulée topped with almond and marzipan. This makes for a lovely rounded and complex expression of Glenmorangie.”

Luc Timmermans has had a long love affair and collecting history with Glenfarclas and, in particular, casks dating from 1968.  Not only was this the year that the distillery first began to market its single malt in its own right, and to build stocks for the future but it was also the year of his birth.  Luc Timmermans is considered the most devoted collector of historical and vintage bottles of Glenfarclas.  Many whisky enthusiasts know him as Mr. Glenfarclas.  In 2005 he was nominated Honorary Member of the Grand Order of Glenfarclas.
