Natterjack’s Trinity of Irish Whiskies

1 month ago | wineandwhiskeyglobe.com | Brian Rooney

Natterjack is among the newest additions to the revitalized and ever growing Irish whiskey market. Operating out of Gortinore Distillers and Co. in Dublin, the brand gets its name from the Natterjack Toad, the only toad native to Ireland. There are three whiskies currently in Naterjack’s lineup, but all three come from the same basis. The mash is 80% corn and 20% malted barley, it undergoes a triple distillation process, and is aged in ex-bourbon barrels before finishing in fresh, first-fill oak.

I have been impressed by every Old Elk expression I have had. Now, the ongoing Infinity Series and new addition to the Cigar Cut line are perhaps Master Distiller Greg Metze’s best bottlings yet. After all, the industry legend was awarded Master Distiller of the Year 2024 by Whisky Awards. These whiskies are two examples of why.

Booker’s is no stranger to high-end bourbon. This year, Booker’s has released four new batches to the market, starting with “Springfield,” the “Beam House Batch,” and then the “Master Distiller’s Batch.” Each is made from unique blends differing in age, proof, and character, and they are all endearingly inspired by the history of Booker’s brand.

Two Premium Whiskey Bottlings from Sagamore Spirit Distillery

Jan 8, 2025 | wineandwhiskeyglobe.com | Brian Rooney

With bourbon dominating the whiskey market and trendy single malts growing in popularity, few American whiskey makers prioritize rye. Not so with Sagamore Spirit. Not only does the Maryland-based distillery dedicate its entire catalog to rye whiskey, but it also offers dozens of expressions ranging from straightforward workhorses to innovatively cask-finished special editions. I’ve had the pleasure of previously tasting some of Sagamore Spirit’s core expressions.
Tasting Notes: Planteray Cut & Dry Coconut Rum

Jan 5, 2025 | wineandwhiskeyglobe.com | Steve Kirwan

Planteray Rum, a brand name under the Maison Ferrand spirits empire, makes a wide array of quality rums, and Cut & Dry is no exception. Owner and master distiller Alexandre Gabriel built his reputation by making Ferrand Cognac in France and then Citadelle Gin. In 1997, he began producing Plantation Rum, which he shipped to and distilled at Château de Bonbonnet in France. He eventually purchased the West Indies Rum Distillery and changed the name from Plantation to Plataray.
Old Elk’s Reinvented Rye Whiskey

Dec 8, 2024 | wineandwhiskeyglobe.com | Brian Rooney

Old Elk produces a variety of excellent whiskeys, with bourbons forming its “bread-and-butter” product line. The brand’s Cognac cask-finished bourbon, wheated expressions, and the ongoing “Inifinty Series” testify to Old Elk’s craftsmanship, innovative spirit, and high standard. However, until recently, I had not tasted any of its ryes, but that changes today, and I couldn’t be more excited. I received a pair of whiskeys from its rye line.

It seems the folks over at Beam just won’t stop releasing cool stuff! A problem for the wallets of bourbon nerds the world over? Probably. A good problem? Also, probably!Today, I will talk about the two newest limited editions joining the Beam Small Batch family of brands. From the mind of Freddie Noe comes Little’s Book “The Infinite” and Booker’s “The Reserves,” respectively. There’s a fair bit to break down on these releases, so let’s get started.
