Night Rambler is a high-ester white rum, blending the freshness of Haiti with the funkiness of long-fermented Jamaican rum.

Created with mixology in mind, 2 rums of the TransCaribbean Rum Line combine great versatility and highly expressive aromatic profiles. Each product was inspired by the adventurous stories of the Caribbean Sea of the 18th century and is named after an iconic pirate ship: the Night Rambler was feared for plundering cities and trade boats, while the Flying King was originally part of the British Royal Navy’s fleet before being seized by its own captain.

Inspired by the rich history of the transatlantic crossings of rum casks, the transcontinental rum line range aims to highlight the typicity and diversity of the world’s best provenances for rum. Selected by the expert team of la maison du whisky, these bottlings offer consumers great transparency on order the let the genuine quality of the rums shine. All the details concerning the distillation and aging of the products are clearly stated on the labels, making them great educational tools. With over 40 references coming from 12 different countries, the transcontinental rum line range has become a reference in terms of diversity and accessibility.

Doorly’s 12 years old is a blend of rums from the Foursquare distillery aged under the tropical climate of Barbados.

A blend of Yoichi sherry casks and Miyagikyo sherry and remade casks, the new Nikka TaketsuruPure Malt boasts extraordinary and captivating freshness. Slightly peaty and salty, it is also exotic, intensely fruity, floral and spicy.

In terms of aromas, the peat becomes gradually more powerful, and its flavours play a key supporting role to all the notes in a score bolstered by a minimalism, sincerity and generosity worthy of the greats.

Launched in the year of the 100th anniversary of the marriage of Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka Whisky, and his Scottish wife Rita, we recommend tasting this bottling straight or with an ice ball to chill and slowly dilute the whisky.

Profile: the well-balanced first nose reveals notes of citrus fruit (lemon), coconut, chocolate and a very light and salty peat. Allowed to breathe, the peat becomes more intense, as freshly cut grass and vanilla gradually spread throughout the aromatic palette. The well-rounded attack is rich (lemon tart). On the mid-palate, an above all salty peat gradually appears. It creates an earthy foundation for fruit (apple, pear), white florals (lilac, lily) and chocolate. The elegant start of the finish is honeyed (acacia), spicy (cinnamon) and tertiary (chestnut). On the retro-nasal olfaction, cut hay, liquorice and milk chocolate form a harmonious ensemble of flavours.

Inspired by the old ancient Blackpitts area just behind the new Teeling Whiskey Distillery based in Newmarket in the old Liberties area of Dublin City, this area was synonymous with many industries and in particular malting houses. Blackpitts was traditionally home to some of the largest barley malting houses in Ireland. By using smoke from peat to dry the barley during the malting process, the resulting peated malt produces a distinctive smoky taste profile which is the signature of a Peated Single Malt.

However, what makes Teeling Blackpitts so unique is the triple distillation process, which reduces some of the medicinal character you would get from a traditional Scottish Peated Single Malt and allows the more barbeque smoke characteristic to shine. This is then combined with signature Teeling innovative cask maturation using both ex-bourbon and ex-Sauternes white wine casks, which is bottled at 46% with no chill filtration to produce a truly different and unique expression of Teeling and Irish Whiskey. The inspiration for the use of these casks came from a previous bottling of Teeling 24-Year-Old Single Malt which was honoured as the World’s Best Single Malt in 2019 at the World Whiskies Awards.
