Whisky Chat - Mark Hirst 2023
A nice wee whisky blether with Mark Hirst filmed in 2023.
We sample 5 drams,
1) Jura Red Wine Cask
2) Talisker Skye
3) Talisker Storm
4) Talisker 10 year old
5) Laphroaig Cairdeas
Amongst other things we reminisce about our first whisky experiences, ruminate on tourism on the Isle of Skye (hence the Talisker), delve into some of Mark's previous lives as a journalist, where he once had a close encounter with a walrus and he also tells me a bit about his musical past. Mark assured me beforehand that no topic was off limits, so along the way I just had to tiptoe into Scottish politics, an area Mark has a particular association with. To keep it tantalising we discuss the demise of a controversial figure who was once very prominent within the SNP.

Pretty self explanatory. Filmed in December 2022 I'll tell you about some of the best whiskies I've sampled in 2022 and maybe even the best ever night of whisky tasting.

Octomore might be the most notorious whisky there is. If you haven't heard of it then stop reading this and press play now. A product of the wonderful island of Islay off the west coast of Scotland, Octomore emerges from somewhere within the Bruichladdich Distillery and is known as the peatiest of the peat monsters. It's more of an experience than a simple drink. In this video I sample the Octo...

    Keith I note that you didn't drink any water between tasting to cleanse the palette, so I have to commend you for your tasting notes. I am happy to say that I managed to identify them correctly straight away from their colour, and that's against the black background of your shirt.

    A quick comment your caption states that Glengyle Distillery also makes Kilkerran, incorrect the Glengyle distillery currently only makes Kilkerran as the Glengyle brand is not owned by the owners of the Glengyle Distillery.

    Enjoyed review Keith. I’ve just discovered this distillery and I first tried their cask strength 10 yr PX, Madeira, Oloroso first fill casks. Fantastic whisky. Recommend it without doubt. This one, I agree with your assessment, but one thing that threw me was the metallic taste ….that kind of made my palate go into a wee bit of a shock, and left the metallic taste in my nose for a while. I’m going to work on it, because I love this distillery, and the sherry casks I’ve mentioned, are wonderful. Slainte mhath 🥃👍

      So many under rated distilleries/whiskies. Glengoyne STEAM their barley, the polar opposite of my preference, but I can't fault their product (apart from 1 maybe, but that review still to be unleashed; hint, it comes last in the blind comparison). 😁👍

    • @WhiskyTourGuideKeith
      @WhiskyTourGuideKeith 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, Any time between July and June!!!! There is not a bad time!!!! Smart comments aside, I'd say mid June. The Islay Festival takes place at the end of May into the first week of June. It's pretty busy and certainly the most expensive time for accommodation. But after the festival, there will likely still be Festival Exclusive bottlings available at the distilleries. SO if you are looking to take home something a little bit special, that's your best bet. Other than that, April to October would be best. The weather can be amazing or atrocious so you take what you get. There is no guarantee of fair weather. But, it's an amazing place and you won't be disappointed whenever you go.
