Darkness Tasting

Darkness may not be a brand you've heard of - they are part of Atom Brands who also own Boutique-y Whisky amongst others. Darkness is their bottlings of Sherry Octave finished whiskies.

We spent an evening with Sam Simmons @dr_whisky trying some samples from Release #2.

Whisky Subscription: Pour & Sip

Pour & Sip is the name of a new whisky tasting subscription club from Master Of Malt. Using the 30ml bottles from Drinks by the Dram packs they'll send out 5 samples for you to try at home.

Let's see what it's all about!

Aerolite Lyndsay

A surprise package through the post a couple of weeks ago was a curiously named bottle of single malt Islay whisky from a new whisky company.

The Character of Islay Whisky Company is part of Atom Brands and a sister company of That Boutique-y Whisky Company and Master Of Malt amongst others. The whisky is called Aerolite Lyndsay and it turns out the name is an anagram!

Atomic Blend?

Some of you may not of heard of Atom Brands but I'm sure you've heard of some of their brands - Master Of Malt, That Boutique-y Whisky Company, Drinks By The Dram, Darkness! and The Blended Whisky Company to name a few.

Basically they are an independent bottler trading into different market areas with different brands - I've tried whisky from all but one of these companies and been impressed with everything they do. They can be a little pricey but the quality is always very good.

The brands I've yet to try is The Blended Whisky Company, they sell a range of three high-end blended whiskies - The Lost Distilleries Blend, The Half-Century Blend and the XL Blend, but thanks to Ros at Atom Brands I'm able to try the last one on the list.
