This sunday we’re celebrating our Eighth Tasting

This sunday we’re celebrating our Eighth Tasting Facile!, which is a humble party-tasting in which we try and offer to our friends some whiskies from the past at a reasonable price: because whisky is made for sharing! In the last years we opened quite a few nice bottles, including a 1947 Talisker, a 1939 Linkwood, Ardbegs from the Seventies and Eighties, young forgotten Port Ellens, old Clynelish, Rare Malts, Hand-Filled single casks… But a very steady presence in our Tasting Facile is always Macallan: and this year we won’t miss it! Ok, it won’t be the 1959 release that we opened last year, but still it’s a pretty nice dram…

Here we introduce you to Macallan 10 years old, bottled in the Eighties and imported in Italy by Giovinetti. A pure sherry bomb, it shows all the elegance and complexity that old Macallans could gain, combining this side with an impressive juiciness. This will be one of the six bottles of the Tasting, that unfortunately is already sold out… Stay tuned for the other bottles!

Here a review of a great classic, the Laphroaig Quarter cask! You can find on our website over 1300 whisky reviews! Link in bio ⁣

N: we suddenly smash our nose against the peaty Laphroaig’s wall. The peat is harsh, with sensations of burnt rubber, smog and diesel… Even leather. Then the unique Laffy bandages note. The maritime side is present but blinking (breeze and sea foam). A rather typical Laphroaig, showing a nervous youth and a little “help” from the casks… Robust lemon, then cedar galore: it’s wonderfully fruity, in its own way, with a splash of cold mint… It’s dangerously verging to the Mojito! Liquid sugar makes the sweetness increasing with time, becoming candied and warm. Licorice.⁣
⁣
P: definetely people-pleasing and easy. In one word, as we say in Italy, “puttanone”. A layer of licorice and caramel under a too heavy blanket of wood, really excessive. There’s also a third blanket, reminding to a medicine cabinet and to a maritime, salty peat. Everything doesn’t lack intensity, but honestly it tastes more disconnected than harmonious. Again candied notes, talking about the youth of the spirit. ⁣
⁣
F: burnt wood, cola and licorice.⁣
⁣
We understand the aim of the release: Laphroaig’s style is unique and aggressive, not for everyone. But if you carry that gene (gene? Which gene? Are you talking about a genetic matter???) that makes you love it and you still don’t know anything about Laphroaig, surely this QC will drive you crazy. It’s the perfect entry-level (it’s about 30 euro), but in the long time it could be a little boring.⁣

Today we continue with our underrated distilleries

Today we continue with our underrated distilleries trio, specifically with a distillery that increased a lot the distillate quality in the last years: Tobermory! To be even more specific today we focus on Ledaig.

The Tobermory distillery is located in the Hebridean Isle of Mull, breathaking and mysterious island famous for the colorful houses.

Tobermory produces two different lines, the homonimous unpeated single malt and the heavily peated Ledaig (named after the original distillery name).

Ledaig is considered by many (Serve Velentin included) the "new Ardbeg" and we can understand why.

Today we say few words about the Ledaig 18yo:

The nose is very complex and a wee "dirty" with gun powder, rubber boots, some cheesy notes and barbecue sauce (trust us, it's a good thing), afterwards some chocolate and raspberry.

The palate starts with grilled fruit, lots of orange and bacon, roasted chestnuts, peat and again some taleggio cheese.

The finish is a lovely evolution of dark berries jam, smoke and bacon.

It's really a must for the peat lovers! 89/100

Dalmore Distillery and the iconic presence of "the nose".⁣
⁣
It's impossible to mention Dalmore without mentioning Master Distiller Richard Paterson aka "the Nose".⁣
He has been the creative force behind The Dalmore for nearly five decades and one of the most iconic personalities in the business.⁣
During the 50 years of his service at Dalmore, one of the key tasks he performs is the selection of the casks.⁣
In particular from the González Byass Bodega, those rare casks, which have previously held 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry, are exclusive to The Dalmore.⁣
⁣
The core range, also named "principal collection" is composed by 7 different products:⁣
⁣
12yo, 15yo, 18yo, cigar malt, port wood, King Alexander III and 25yo.⁣
