Glasgow Distillery ‘Malt Riot Vat No. 6’ (40%, OB, 2020) 
40% vol.? What’s that? Some type of assertion? Provocation? Misplaced vainness? Or only a typo? Properly, we had an excellent Glasgow for Kirsch Import the opposite week, however that one had been bottled at 62.1%, for crying out loud! Rioting at 40% vol., pff… Color: white wine. Nostril: mild, smooth, just a little bready, with some pears and a few apples. Plums, gooseberries, greengages, croissants, vanilla, coconut balls, bananas… It’s fairly good and quite mature, only a contact mild. Mouth: candy beer, vanilla, just a little fudge and toffee, biscuit, delicate honey, shortbread, a wee cardboardy aspect, some vanilla cream, porridge, malt… It is a good drop and it is not even extraordinarily mild. End: brief, however on good candy bread and bananas. Feedback: maintain on, I simply seen that this can be a mix and never purely ‘Glasgow’. Which explains why it feels quite mature. A strong drop for positive, superior to most large-volume Scotch blends. Properly completed, even at 40%. I am reminded of BNJ.

Kilbeggan ‘Small Batch Rye’ (43%, OB, Eire, 2018)
Stated to be the primary whiskey absolutely completed at Kilbeggan Distillery. However warning, it is referred to as ‘rye’ however there’s solely 30% rye inside, the rest being malted and unmalted barley. Color: pale gold. Nostril: rye? It’s hardly noticeable, however we’re discovering good touches of cantaloupe and pomegranate over muffins and scones. Tangerines. As we are saying right here, this can damage nobody. Good citrusy nostril. Mouth: good physique, quite oily, on extra tangerines with just a little breakfast honey and a sense of IPA. Orange blossom, oriental pastry, some pollen, beeswax… A strong palate, possibly a tad too eau-de-vie-ish. End: medium, honeyed, fairly malty. Feedback: nonetheless questioning a bit concerning the rye, alternatively I consider they made this with care. A very good drop altogether, nicer than the sooner 15 and 18 that had been simply blends. And it feels firmer than simply 43%.

Domaine des Hautes Glaces ‘Moissons Single Rye’ (44.8%, OB, France, +/-2020) 
We have had the wonderful moissons single malt the opposite day, that is the rye. And after they say rye, it is rye. Color: straw. Nostril: absolutely on spicy bread, caraway, cinnamon, juniper berries, myrtle, sorb, fennel seeds… We have got a bakery that is making rye bread with caraway inside. Simply unfold some correct butter over it and you will not want caviar anymore. Good bread, good butter and good whisky, that is all you want in life. Oh and love and friendship, naturally. Mouth: maintain on, that is tequila! Prime notch reposado by an important home (not George’s ex) plus just a little cachaça. Say 2/3 tequila and 1/3 cachaça, all that made within the French Alps. Inform me about some problem. End: am not joking in any respect, thoughts you. Lengthy, on tequila, with drops of natural liqueurs. Earthy aftertaste, with some aniseed too. Extra fennel. Feedback: singular, to say the least. Gorgeous, really. Forgot to say, I totally love this.

Stork Membership ‘Full Proof Rye Whiskey Batch 3’ (55%, OB, Germany, +/-2019) 
Our associates and neighbours the Germans too have made nice progress with their selfmade whiskies. They know rye, they eat a whole lot of rye as breads (Roggen)… That is made by Spreewood Distillers, not removed from Berlin. Color: gold. Nostril: this can be a quite shy one, however some markers of rye are coming by way of already, particularly fennel seeds and caraway. Whiffs of earth after a heavy rain, additionally just a little orange syrup… With water: the distillate is just a little mild, or so it appears. Good, however removed from malted rye and different loopy thickish rye whiskies of the world. Mouth (neat): espresso, spices, caramel, molasses… I’d consider rum. I suppose they’ve column(s). With water: certainly a lighter base with some nice espresso and grains. End: shortish, with some sweeter spices. Candy mustard, aniseed, Nescafé… Feedback: cool, good, nice, no quibbles, all high quality, it is simply that the physique was just a little slim.
