Brave New Spirits @TweetTastings

Indie bottler Brave New Spirits @BNS_Whisky chose a @TweetTastings to launch  some of their new bottlings.

Here's my thoughts and those of a few friends!

Side by side: Independent Glenturret

@DrinkGlenturret distillery have had a bit of a renaissance since leaving the Famous Grouse stable, a new brand and new bottlings but obviously still the same liquid.

I've talked about Glenturret's recent take over and new releases before here and here, but this time I'm going to look at four independent bottlings.

Glenturret #TweetTastings

@DrinkGlenturret have recently launched their 2022 of 7 bottles, @TheWhiskyWire organised a @TweetTastings so we could try 3 of them!

Three bottles from the new range - let's see what the drams were like!

Whisky 'machinery' - the Mash Tun

A new series looking at some of the 'machinery' used in a distillery to create whisky - this time the Mash Tun.

I've covered the basic process of creating whisky here, but I'm going to explore the machinery a little more in this series.

Side by side : A Glenturret flight

Glenturret has always been part of the Famous Grouse blend, and since 2002 it's spiritual home, but this changed with the distillery's sale in 2019. 

Now owned by Glenturret Holding, a joint venture between luxury goods company Lalique Group and Swiss entrepreneur Hansjörg Wyss, the distillery is going it alone with The Macallan’s Bob Dalgarno as their new whisky maker.

Side by side : Independent Ruadh Maor

On today's Side by side we're looking at two Ruadh Maor drams from two Independent bottlers. "Ruadh Maor?" you ask, "Yes Ruadh Maor" I answer.....

Let see how they compare side by side!

#MiniTasting - Chorlton single casks

@ChorltonWhisky is an independent bottler based in Manchester with some really nice bottle labels on each of their drams.

They have bottled over 25 casks, at the time of writing, @ScotchB78 supplied 3 drams for @jwbassman_ @WhiskynStuff, and myself to try!

#BlindTasting - Review

If you're reading this post you must have read my previous posts on our recent Series of #BlindTasting sessions Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 where @jwbassman_, @SpiritAndWood, @GentlemanGrimm and @WhiskyWings swapped some samples and blind tasted them!

The blind leading the blind #BlindTasting Pt1

A couple of us were talking on Twitter about the excellent #TweetTastings which Steve organises, his popular they are and how difficult it is to get a place.....
