Brian's Malt Musings: December 2024

Saturday, 28 December 2024

Firstly thanks to all of you who have read my blog (c296,000 up from 228,000 last year) and followed me on social media.

This blog has been going for 8 years now and this is the 759th blog post! In that time I've reviewed over 2,060 whiskies! Let's review 2024!

@BimberLondon have recently released a set of 8 Shoulders of Giants bottlings.

This is the 2nd release in the series, Bimber sent me some samples to review - let's see what they are like!

@edradourmalt was the first distillery I visited back in 1999 and I've had a soft spot for it every since.

Imagine my joy when my local pub put a bottle behind the bar!

These are my tasting notes and results from the Blind Tasting Consortium's 49th #BlindDrams evening.

These drams were picked by Cliff @KingsofYearron

Completely out of the blue @GlenScotiaMalts have launched a new community exclusively to it's newsletter subscribers:

And to start this community they've released an exclusive bottling!

@LochLomondMalts have just released the seventh in their Distillery Edition series but confused the sequence by releasing another CWY fermentation...

I'm sure this one should have been a Long Fermentation, but let's try it anyway!

Cooper King CKdistillery in Yorkshire has been distilling since 2019 releasing small batches of their whisky.

Here I'll try five.
