Master of Malt Launches “Dram Club” – A Monthly Spirits Sample Service!

June 9, 2017 by Gary Leave a Comment

Monthly joy, delivered to your door, who could ask for more?!

Master of Malt has teamed up with Drinks by the Dram to create “Dram Club” – a monthly subscription service which helps people explore the world of fine spirits. Each month club members receive 5 carefully curated samples of Whisky, Gin or Rum to taste and enjoy.

Dram Club is a spirits subscription service where members receive a carefully curated selection of five 30ml drams of top whiskies, gins or rums delivered to their door at the start of each month. Each spirit also comes with a collectible tasting card, complete with detailed notes and room for members to add their own.

Priced from £24.95 a month including delivery, subscriptions are available for Gin, Rum, Whisky, Premium Whisky or Old & Rare Whisky, with a choice of 3, 6 and 12 month memberships that make perfect Father’s Day gifts.

Every member receives a welcome pack containing two crystal tasting glasses, perfectly designed for nosing and enjoying fine spirits. In addition, members will receive increasingly rare and unusual bonus gifts after 3, 6 and 12 months in the club. Such gifts include delights like a dram of 40 year old Glenfarclas, 33 year old Port Ellen or a bottle of Bathtub Gin.

Subscriptions are available for Gin, Rum, Whisky, Premium Whisky or Old & Rare Whisky

At first Dram Club will only available in the UK, however, the leading online retailer plans to roll the service out worldwide over the next few months, and introduce many more spirits to the service, including Cognac, Bourbon, Tequila, Mezcal and even Vodka.

Sampling Abbey Whisky’s Glen Garioch 21 Year Old – Why You Will LOVE This Offering!

June 9, 2017 by Gary Leave a Comment

GLEN GARIOCH 21 YEAR OLD – 1994 / THE RARE CASKS RELEASE 6

Whisky Magazine Recommended Award – Issue 143

In Stock and Available for £99.98!

Only 126 bottles have been filled exclusively for Abbey Whisky!

The Rare Casks story continues with this magnificent Glen Garioch, the sixth release in the series. Distilled in 1994 and fully matured in a refill hogshead until 2016, only 126 bottles have been filled exclusively for Abbey Whisky.

As with each previous release in The Rare Casks series, the whisky has been bottled in it’s natural form, at full cask strength, without chill filtration or colour additives.

So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …

Tasting Notes – GLEN GARIOCH 21 YEAR OLD – 1994 / THE RARE CASKS RELEASE 6 (55%)


Colour: Pale gold colour.

Nose: Very fruity, citrus with notes of grapfruit most prominent, barley and inviting sticky, sugary vanilla.

Palate: Prominent grapefruit sourness counterpointing pineapple and warming vanilla sweetness.

Finish: Warm and spicy finish which is long with a satisfying glucose sweetness to top it off.

Overall: It’s got some tasy 55% Oomph! to it this one and the strong grapefruit notes surprised me at first but with added sipping (I am very dedicated) this became very morish indeed!
If you like a little sourness to your dram you will LOVE this offering!

Empty bottle, kind thoughts …

Many thanks to Mike at Abbey Whisky (@abbeywhisky) for sending me such a great dram sample!
