June brings much needed relief from the heat with monsoon showers. This particular June also included a jaunt to Germany with a bonus weekend in Berlin where I met up with a fabulous Sharing Angel! Plus a quick pitstop in Istanbul before returning home to Bombay…
And on the whisky tasting front?
Our original group explored a Compass Box Trilogy:
- Hedonism Quindecimus 46% – Blended Grain, carefully aired
- The Double Single 46% – Single malt and grain combine in perfect harmony, served at room temperature
- Whisky de Table 40% 2nd Edition – Served chilled, crafted to be the ideal accompaniment to an enjoyable repast
The Whisky Ladies discovered whiskies with tales to tell:
- Sild “Crannog” 3 year Single Malt 48%
- Shackleton “The Journey” 47.3%
- Gerston Vintage (2013) Batch 1, 46%
In Berlin, thanks to a Sharing Angel, I enjoyed a rather marvellous whisky haunt – The Union Jack Pub – with quite a terrific array of unique whiskies. We chose:
- North Star’s Royal Brackla 11 year 55.2%, Series 004
- Spirit Shop Selection Speyside
- Mannochmore 25 year (1990/2015) 53.4%, bottle 0251
While our Bombay Malt & Cigar gents took a hiatus, I had the pleasure to sample a quintet of Marvellous Minis featuring:
- Edradour Fairy Flag 15 year 46%
- Edradour 17 year (1999) Bordeaux Cask Finish 55.2%
- BenRiach 12 year 43%
- BenRiach 22 year Moscatel 46% (SMSW)
- Glenrothes (1992/2016) Cask 1 Lustau Sherry Finish 55.3%
Stay tuned for what’s coming next…
