Don’t let this nasty Blue Monday (and\/or your DryJanuary resolutions)<\/em> put you down this year and cheer the hell up with a dram (or two)!\u00a0 And as I know this sounds like an appealing perspective (or at least, that’s how I hope it sounds…), <\/em>I especially selected 3 tasty “blue” whiskies for you to discover or rediscover! See, I could have gone the mainstream and Captain-Obvious-sponsored path with a Johnny Walker Blue Label – which would have definitely fit the theme<\/em> – but hey, I’m happy to spend hours digging the utmost depths of the internet for more uncommon expressions. Here’s therefore my special “Blue Whiskies Against Blue Monday”<\/strong> shortlist (And don’t take this too litterally, none of them are actually blue – and if they happen to be, please ask your merchant for a refund):<\/em><\/p>\n

Balcones True Blue 100 Proof<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Afficher<\/p>\n

A gorgeous creation from Balcones in Waco, Texas. They make their True Blue corn whisky using blue corn, which makes a mighty fine tortilla chip and (so it seems) a mighty fine whisky too! It’s unique and also pretty dangerous, as blue corn contains a high oil content, which when mixed with heat from distillation can become somewhat… Flammable. The risk is worth it, however, as True Blue is a true blue winner.<\/p>\n

Blue Hanger – 9th Release (Berry Bros. & Rudd)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Afficher<\/p>\n

\n

This is the ninth release of Blue Hanger, an exceptional series of blended malt whiskies from Berry Brothers & Rudd. It was named after William Hanger, who got the nickname Blue Hanger because he wore blue quite a lot.<\/p>\n

The ninth release pulls back the reins of the sherry cask whisky in the blend, choosing to add some peated whisky instead, which gives this expression a brilliant little twist on the nose and palate.<\/p>\n

In a Bluebell Wood – 1995 (Wemyss Malts) Glen Grant<\/a><\/p>\n

\"wemyss\"<\/p>\n

In A Bluebell Wood might sound like the start of a poem or a fantasy story, but it’s actually the descriptive name given to this Wemyss bottling of single malt Scotch whisky from the Glen Grant. It was distilled in 1995, matured in a single barrel and bottled in 2014 with an outturn of 242 bottles.<\/p>\n
