Turning out excellent, distinctive single malt whiskies at everyday prices. Take this delicious Cognac cask-finished whisky, for example. It\u2019s light, fruity and beautifully-balanced with apples, gentle spice and a little tobacco. This is a hugely versatile whisky that\u2019s equally at home sipped neat or even better in a Highball with a dash of orange bitters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/glenmorangie-the-quinta-ruban-14-year-old-whisky.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting cask whiskies Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban\" width=\"290\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/glenmorangie-the-quinta-ruban-14-year-old-whisky.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/glenmorangie-the-quinta-ruban-14-year-old-whisky-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/glenmorangie-the-quinta-ruban-14-year-old-whisky-173x250.jpg 173w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/glenmorangie-the-quinta-ruban-14-year-old-whisky-486x700.jpg 486w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/glenmorangie-the-quinta-ruban-14-year-old-whisky-590x850.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/glenmorangie\/glenmorangie-the-quinta-ruban-14-year-old-whisky\/\"><b>Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you love Glenmorangie and you love Port, then you\u2019ll love Quinta Ruban. This spends most of its life in bourbon barrels like the classic version, before finishing in ruby Port casks. This adds layers of red fruit, chocolate and spice to all those lovely sweet stone fruit and vanilla flavours from Glenmorangie 10 Year Old. This makes a particularly good post-dinner dram. If you can\u2019t decide between whisky and Port, why not have both?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talisker-port-ruighe-whisky.jpg\" alt=\"Ten interesting cask whiskies - Talisker Port Ruighe\" width=\"157\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talisker-port-ruighe-whisky.jpg 378w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talisker-port-ruighe-whisky-113x300.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talisker-port-ruighe-whisky-95x250.jpg 95w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talisker-port-ruighe-whisky-265x700.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talisker-port-ruighe-whisky-321x850.jpg 321w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 157px) 100vw, 157px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/talisker\/talisker-port-ruighe-whisky\/\"><b>Talisker Port Ruighe\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another Port wine finish on a much-loved whisky. This was first released in 2013 and has become a great favourite with Master of Malt customers. When it came out, I was convinced it was pronounced something like \u2018Port Rory\u2019 but in fact it\u2019s &#8216;Port Ree&#8217;. So now you know. However you say it, you\u2019ll find notes of orange pith, plums and sea spray on the nose with the palate initially tasting of classic Talisker before filling out with sweeter notes like chocolate orange and Demerara sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cotswolds-peated-cask-single-malt-whisky.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting cask whiskies - Cotswolds Peated Cask\" width=\"276\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cotswolds-peated-cask-single-malt-whisky.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cotswolds-peated-cask-single-malt-whisky-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cotswolds-peated-cask-single-malt-whisky-188x250.jpg 188w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cotswolds-peated-cask-single-malt-whisky-528x700.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/cotswolds\/cotswolds-peated-cask-single-malt-whisky\/\"><b>Cotswolds Peated Cask Single Malt<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cotswolds Distillery has got its hands on some peated whisky quarter casks and isn&#8217;t afraid to use &#8217;em! The quarter casks are much smaller than your standard whisky cask and impart a delicate smokiness to the whisky. It&#8217;s not &#8216;bonfire directly under your nose&#8217; style smoke, more &#8216;distant fragrant fireplace&#8217; style, and very tasty it is too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tamnavulin-red-wine-cask-whisky.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting cask whiskies Tamnavulin red wine cask\" width=\"203\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tamnavulin-red-wine-cask-whisky.jpg 429w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tamnavulin-red-wine-cask-whisky-129x300.jpg 129w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tamnavulin-red-wine-cask-whisky-107x250.jpg 107w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tamnavulin-red-wine-cask-whisky-300x700.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tamnavulin-red-wine-cask-whisky-365x850.jpg 365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/tamnavulin\/tamnavulin-red-wine-cask-whisky\/\"><b>Tamnavulin Red Wine Cask Edition<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A terrific Tamnavulin, showing off this Speyside distillery&#8217;s skills at using interesting cask finishes for its single malt Scotch whisky. The whisky is initially aged in American oak barrels and then enjoys a stay in French cabernet sauvignon wine casks, imparting a whole heap of warming dark fruit, sweet spice notes, and almond nuttiness. This will make for an ace autumnal dram.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seaweed-and-aeons-and-digging-and-fire-and-sherry-casks-10-year-old-whisky.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting cask whiskies - seaweed sherry cask\" width=\"218\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seaweed-and-aeons-and-digging-and-fire-and-sherry-casks-10-year-old-whisky.jpg 416w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seaweed-and-aeons-and-digging-and-fire-and-sherry-casks-10-year-old-whisky-125x300.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seaweed-and-aeons-and-digging-and-fire-and-sherry-casks-10-year-old-whisky-104x250.jpg 104w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seaweed-and-aeons-and-digging-and-fire-and-sherry-casks-10-year-old-whisky-291x700.jpg 291w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seaweed-and-aeons-and-digging-and-fire-and-sherry-casks-10-year-old-whisky-354x850.jpg 354w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/seaweed-and-aeons-and-digging-and-fire\/seaweed-and-aeons-and-digging-and-fire-and-sherry-casks-10-year-old-whisky\/\"><b>Seaweed &amp; Aeons &amp; Digging &amp; Fire &amp; Sherry Casks 10 Year Old<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As usual, we are contractually obliged to include a Seaweed &amp; whisky where possible but even if we weren\u2019t, we would include this one anyway. It&#8217;s a marvellous variation of Seaweed &amp; Aeons &amp; Digging &amp; Fire, featuring the same smoky 10 year old Islay single malt but with the entirety finished in sherry casks. The powerfully peaty notes at its core are mellowed by just enough sherry sweetness, making for a superbly well-balanced flavour profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fettercairn-16-year-old-4th-release-2023-whisky.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting cask whiskies - Fettercairn 16\" width=\"257\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fettercairn-16-year-old-4th-release-2023-whisky.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fettercairn-16-year-old-4th-release-2023-whisky-192x300.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fettercairn-16-year-old-4th-release-2023-whisky-160x250.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fettercairn-16-year-old-4th-release-2023-whisky-447x700.jpg 447w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fettercairn-16-year-old-4th-release-2023-whisky-543x850.jpg 543w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/fettercairn\/fettercairn-16-year-old-4th-release-2023-whisky\/\"><b>Fettercairn 16 Year Old &#8211; 4th Release: 2023<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More delicious Port action this time from Fettercairn. This is the fourth release from the brand&#8217;s annual batch of 16-year-old single malt arrives. For the 2023 bottling, Fettercairn selected whisky aged in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and Port pipes and then bottled it up at 46.4% ABV. The resulting whisky is a fruit bomb with raspberries, mango, and pineapple with lots of sweet chocolate, cinnamon, and ginger cake to boot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/balvenie-14-year-old-caribbean-cask-whisky.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting cask whiskies - Balvenie 14 Caribbean cask\" width=\"237\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/balvenie-14-year-old-caribbean-cask-whisky.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/balvenie-14-year-old-caribbean-cask-whisky-189x300.jpg 189w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/balvenie-14-year-old-caribbean-cask-whisky-158x250.jpg 158w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/balvenie-14-year-old-caribbean-cask-whisky-442x700.jpg 442w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/balvenie-14-year-old-caribbean-cask-whisky-536x850.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/balvenie\/balvenie-14-year-old-caribbean-cask-whisky\/\"><b>Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure the rum casks had the right balance of flavour, Balvenie malt master David C. Stewart made his very own blend of West Indian rums, filled it into casks, and then used them to finish a single malt that had previously spent time in bourbon barrels. The fabulous result is a well-rounded whisky with notes of toffee, fruit, and vanilla.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/teeling-pineapple-rum-cask-whisky.jpg\" alt=\"Ten interesting whiskies - Teeling Pineapple cask\" width=\"296\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/teeling-pineapple-rum-cask-whisky.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/teeling-pineapple-rum-cask-whisky-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/teeling-pineapple-rum-cask-whisky-191x250.jpg 191w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/teeling-pineapple-rum-cask-whisky-534x700.jpg 534w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/whiskies\/teeling\/teeling-pineapple-rum-cask-whisky\/\"><b>Teeling Pineapple Rum Cask\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two epic spirits collide in magnificent fashion right here in a collaboration between Ireland&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/distilleries\/teeling-whiskey-co\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teeling Distillery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/distilleries\/plantation-rum-distillery\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plantation Rum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!
