Single malt whisky - tasting notes

Daily Dram

Posted by: Ruben In: * News

Daily Dram There are five new Daily Dram releases (now called The Nectar of the Daily Drams):

Later today, I should be able to taste them and post my first findings. Which one should I open first…?

Update: The Port Ellen review has been published. On the nose, the Glenburgie seems to be slightly disappointing, but the Glen Elgin is very interesting. The Clynelish shows a lot of violet candy and the Longmorn is a bit bubblegummy. But these are just quick impressions, an in-depth review will follow!

That’s the obvious choice of course, but I’m very interested in the Glen Elgin and Glenburgie as well.

You should open the Glen Elgin first:

Lowest ABV and Speyside

Well, I wasn’t planning to try all of them today, so the ABV should not be an issue.

[...] We’ve seen an unusual amount of independent Glengoyne 1972 releases lately. It started with the Glengoyne 1972 bottled by Malts of Scotland, then a second bottling from the same cask, a bottling by Jack Wiebers, one by The Whisky Agency and now this Glengoyne 1972 by The Bottler Formerly Known As Daily Dram.

Thanks David.
I’m afraid I don’t know any decent whisky shops in Brussels. The closest is http://www.tasttoe.be in Kampenhout, about 30 min. from Brussels by car. They’re part of the Daily Dram / The Nectar group so they have most bottlings in stock. They also have Whisky Agency / Whisky Fair bottlings and other interesting things.

To eat / drink in Brussels: try Belga Queen, La Quincaillerie, Brasserie La Paix, Tasso, Wood, Rouge Tomate, La Manufacture…
Best wishes and enjoy your stay!

Hi Ruben !

First, i whish you and all your visitors a really great new year !

I want to thank you so much for the adresses in Brussels.
We taste La Manufacture & La Quincaillerie, really good food and wines (a Chili wine at La Manufacture, very clean, organic…). And we enjoy Brussels, even if the city seems to be as a desert after 22h00 !
I bought 4 bottles Daily dram to Tasttoe :
– Glentaucher & Lochside (29yo).
– Tamnavullin 1966 & Longmorn 35yo (Nectar), i really don’t know anything about these 2 last…surprise ! But the colour of the Tamnavullin is very impresive !!

Happy new year and long life for your blog !!

Slainte math

Hi David, you’re welcome. In fact I was at La Manufacture last Thursday myself.
The Longmorn 35yo 1975 is excellent. I tried it the other day with a friend and we immediately went out to buy 3 bottles.
