Review / Powers Irish Rye

This new addition to the Powers core range is the first ever Irish whiskey to be made from 100% Irish rye. The release comes following trials at the Midleton distillery in Co. Cork, where Powers is distilled and matured alongside other well know brands such as Jameson and Redbreast. It has used an archive recipe uncovered by Carol Quinn, the Senior Achivist at Irish Distillers. As part of the trials Irish Distillers commissioned the planting of rye crops at Cooney Furlong Farm in Co. Wexford. This was chosen due to its proximity to the ancestral home of the Powers family - Edermine House.

Distillery Visit / White Peak

Nestled next to the bustling River Derwent in the heart of the English county of Derbyshire there is a quiet whisky revolution going on. This is where the White Peak distillery is located, close to the small town of Ambergate near Matlock. 

They have wasted no time in joining the English whisky elite and have already won several awards despite only releasing their first whisky just over a year ago. Matt took a trip to the Peak District to take a look for ourselves.

________

Several years ago, Max and Claire Vaughan had a dream. That dream was to open an English whisky distillery in their home county of Derbyshire. This became a reality in 2015 and White Peak was born. In doing so, it would become Derbyshire's first ever single malt and join the ever-expanding English whisky scene.

Whisky For Everyone / 15 Years of Blogging

When our first blog post popped up on 28 March 2008 it was difficult to imagine that Whisky For Everyone would still be going 15 years later. Our fledgling interest in whisky, and Scotch in particular, led us to want to find out more. Writing things down seemed a good way to make facts, figures and tasting notes stick. If people read what we wrote then so be it - we gave it a working title of 'Whisky For Everyone' and it was our vehicle for learning.

Review / Perpetuity Blend

This whisky is a new blended Scotch from the Port of Leith distillery in Leith, Edinburgh. Perpetuity will be an ongoing bottling to be released in batches. The whiskies are taken from the blending team's 'perpetual vat' - this sees surplus whisky from previous bottlings continually married together. Half will always remain with new part-casks added. The first batch contains differing percentages of two single malts (21.9% of Glentauchers 6 years old from first-fill ex-Oloroso sherry hogheads and 23.9% of Deanston 9 years old from ex-bourbon barrels) and two single grains (32% of North British 7 years old from virgin American oak barrels and 22.2% of North British 13 years old from ex-bourbon barrels).
