Let’s start Irish @thebusker_official _ The Iri Let’s start Irish @thebusker_official 
_
The Irish whiskey industry did not have a great year 2025, yet one distillery did really well: the Royal Oak distillery with their Busker. Widely available at airports with a wide portfolio of blended, malt, grain and pot still whiskey at the premium level, the Busker made a bit of a name for itself. This core range is solid though nothing exciting to be honest. The Small Batch however is a different story.
_
The Small Batch Single Pot Still whiskey has some typical features for this kind of whiskey, i.e. the use of malted and unmalted barley (no other grains), the triple distillation, and the maturation in bourbon and sherry casks. As such, conceptionally it is pretty close to the big names in pot still whiskey, but that is not a bad thing. It just works. The Small Batch is elevated over the standard expression by specially selected casks, either first-fill bourbon or Oloroso specifically, and a slightly higher ABV. 
_
Nose: crisp and fresh with grass, hay, and green fruit, but also a distinct malty sweetness and some mild spices. In the background linger dried fruit, tobacco and leather.
Palate: again very crisp, especially due to increased spiciness, now with red peppers and aniseed. While still quite fresh, the dried fruits come to the fore and dominate much of the experience. Also a bit of caramel and vanilla. 
Finish: short but on point
_
This is a well-made whiskey that delivers that mix of spice and sweetness one expects from the pot still whiskey. The balance is not yet on the level of the big player in this field but the elements are there and they work. And given it is an NAS the cask influence is quite noticeable. 
I have not been entirely convinced by the core range. This small batch on the other hand gets my wholehearted recommendation.

Review online, check Website _ It took us quite a Review online, check Website
_
It took us quite a while due to unforeseen events but it is finally here, the full and complete review of this year’s best German rye whisky. It is now online on our website, featuring detailed background information. Here is a short version of it in English:
_
Although the @traditionsbrennerei is best known for their clear spirits, they have extensive experience in cask maturations, too. Also working with rye since the 15th century helps understanding that grain. In fact, Nordhausen’s tradition of distilling rye has the same roots as current American rye whisky. So it was not a total surprise when Nordhausen released its first rye whisky in 2023. 
Since then, a steady number of yearly releases followed. In 2025 it was the time of the sauternes finish. 
_
Generally, Nordhausen’s rye is matured for ten years in virgin German oak and bottled at 46% ABV. Last year, it got a port finish, and now sauternes was used. Sauternes is a sweet, fruity white wine from Bordeaux that works marvellously with the spicy and herbal distillate of the rye. I actually wonder why this combination is not used more often...
_
Nose: ripe yellow fruit like apricot, mirabelle plum, apple and banana, sweet yet a bit zesty; a heavy layer of spices, mostly clove and pepper, intense but clearly restrained; a bit of peppermint and menthol; some oak spice far in the background
 
Palate: more of the same, especially the ripe, sweet yellow fruit, but there is more heat from the spices now with the addition of red chilis; also the oak influence increases adding more spice but some caramel, too. 
 
Finish: medium and balanced, a tad bitter at the very end
_
Again I am left to wonder why the combination of sauternes-finish and rye is not more common. It works extremely well. Obviously, the release shows the Traditionsbrennerei’s expertise but at the third release that does not come as a surprise anymore. This is a must-have for every rye fan.

_
We end our revisiting Redbreast series with the now classic 12yo in cask strength. Produced at Midleton, Redbreast was one of the very few survivors of Irish Pot Still Whiskey, and the most famous, thus it defined what we expect from this style of whiskey. It uses malted and unmalted barley, but not other grains, although other Pot Still Whiskeys historically did that. Still, the balance of the malted and unmalted elements remains unmatched. 
_
Matured in bourbon and sherry casks, they emphasize that it is Spanish oak for the latter. Again, we see the pursuit of balance: American oak and bourbon notes on the one hand, more spicy European oak and sherry notes on the other. 
_
Nose: lots of tropical fruit, especially grilled pineapple and papaya, with a healthy dose of spices like pepper, clove and curcuma. Additionally caramel and vanilla is present, also raisins and dates.

Palate: wonderful mouthfeel, oily and creamy, the fruits are riper and sweeter, but the spices also win some power. The oak influence is more pronounced as well. It tastes almost like an intensified version of the aromas in the nose.

Finish: more spice, oak and a few tannins, too.
_
This is a stunning whiskey that gets it right: sweetness in various expressions, spices and a lot of tropical fruit. It also exhibits some youthful lightness, yet it is mature enough to convince pretty much all whiskey fans. If you ever wondered why Redbreast has such a great reputation, this is it.

The Trinity Vintage 2014 @glenfarclasdistillery _ The Trinity Vintage 2014 @glenfarclasdistillery 
_
Glenfarclas is a distillery that needs no introduction. One of their signature traits the maturation in sherry casks, and this vintage is no different. It spend 11 years in Oloroso sherry casks and was bottled at cask strength, so there is very little that can go wrong, and it is a straight-forward whisky.
_
Nose: ripe dark fruit, raisins, chocolate, tobacco, leather
Palate: powerful and sweet, with more red fruit, dark chocolate and toffee, nuts, cinnamon and gentle wood spice 
Finish: a little spicier which is a welcome contrast
_
This single malt does exactly what one expects it does. It is a classical sherry cask matured whisky but it is nice to notice the sherry influence is not overdone. This it not one of those ultra-dark soup sherry bombs, this is a more refined style of whisky. Definitely a good choice.
