Four Facts About Whisky Casks Distillers Don't Want You to Know
Malt Maniacs E-pistle #2010-08 By Oliver Klimek, Germany This article is brought to you by 'Malt Maniacs'; an international collective of more than two dozen fiercely independent malt whisky aficionados. Since 1997 we have been enjoying and discussing the pleasures of single malt whisky with like-minded whisky lovers from all over the world. In 2010 our community had members from 16 countries; The United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, The U.S.A., Canada, India, Japan, Taiwan, Australia & South Africa. More information on: www.maltmaniacs.org . Four Facts About Whisky Casks Distillers Don't Want You to Know "All casks are different." This a commonplace and it's one of the basic rules all aspiring maltheads and apprentice whisky anoraks will learn rather early on after they have started their journey into the whisky wonderland. When you take the step from standard distillery expressions to single cask whiskies mainly bottled by independents you will discover a seemingly endless variety of malts that sometimes can have very different characteristics, even if they are made in the same distillery. In this E-pistle I would like to highlight a few aspects of whisky casks that for some strange reason do not get very much attention, even though their consequences are rather significant. 1. Seaweed? What Seaweed? Tasting notes of Islay malts usually feature descriptors like “seaweed”, “sea spray”, “Atlantic jetty” or the likes. We all know that Islay is both caressed and mistreated by the powers of the Irish Sea, so in a way it is not a surprise that we can find maritime flavours in Islay whisky.

Malt Whisky - an Introduction to the Spirit of Scotland
MALT WHISKY - AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SPIRIT OF SCOTLAND Peter M. Dryburgh University of Edinburgh, The King’s Buildings, Edinburgh EH9 3JL, Scotland, U.K. Abstract The historical connection between malt, grain and blended whisky is used to introduce the making of malt whisky and outline the preparation of malt from barley, the processes of fermentation and distillation and the maturation of the strong spirit in oak casks. The geographical basis for the classification of malt whiskies is mentioned. Ten whiskies, ranging from the lightly flavoured Bladnoch to the heavily peated and phenolic Ardbeg, are discussed in terms of their individual characteristics and the distilleries which produced them. INTRODUCTION An article on malt whisky might seem out of place in a publication devoted to a summer school on high energy physics but the malt whisky tasting held on 25th August at St. Andrews, although essentially a social event, was the occasion for some serious study of this fascinating subject and seemed to be enjoyed by all participants. The purpose of this article is to expand on the brief notes which were issued at the event. Blended whisky has satisfied the world’s demand for Scotch whisky since the turn of the century. Despite the overwhelming emphasis given to blended whisky, and its consequent impact 29/Aug/2000 upon world markets, there have always been people to whom the only true whisky was the original open-2000-268 single malt, produced in the traditional way and, nowadays, increasing numbers of discriminating drinkers are exploring these single malt whiskies in much the same way that more people are learning about wine.

Scotch-Whisky-Menu.Pdf
This book lists over 500 expressions of fine Scotch whiskies collected from each of our whisky regions: Speyside, the Highlands, the Lowlands, Islay, Campbeltown and the Islands. A wide diversity of flavours to suit every palate and every time of the day or night! Such a large selection – one of the largest in Scotland – may appear somewhat daunting, but part of the pleasure is browsing through the list, then comparing the tasting notes with what you yourself find in each whisky. The knowledgeable bar staff are ‘whisky ambassadors’, here to help and advise you, whether you are a connoisseur of the ‘golden nectar’ or just beginning your journey of discovery. I recommend you order two or three different drams; nose and taste them – remember ‘flavour’ is a combination of smell and taste, and of the two, smell is most important in appreciating the qualities of any whisky. Discuss the characteristics of each; seek further recommendations from the staff; explore and enjoy! Malt whisky is the quintessence of Scotland. It recollects the land of its birth with every sip – peat hags and bog myrtle, the sun on the loch, fine rain on the mountain, white beaches and salt spray: the fugitive aromas of the land itself. It also speaks of the people of Scotland, the tough farmers who developed the art of distillation, the intrepid smugglers who kept the still fires burning in the face of the law, the remarkable entrepreneurs who built a world market for Scotch in the later decades of the nineteenth century. Slainte mhath! Charles MacLean, Master of the

Flatnose Blended Malt Scotch

THE OLD GUN ROOM ISLAY HOUSE SQUARE BRIDGEND PA44 7NZ ISLE OF ISLAY, SCOTLAND www.islayboys.com www.onyxbeverage.com/ CSPC/+791213/ 6/X/700ML/Mackay Smith [email protected] Donald MacKenzie [email protected] FFllaatntnösöeseBlSencdoetdchMaWlthSicsoktych Whisky Flatnöse Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is an all-malt Scotch whisky, with a good share of Islay single malts, giving a gentle peaty touch. The smokiness is balanced by hints of honey and candied citrus fruit, and it is bottled at a higher strength of 46% vol. Like the very best Scotch whiskies, it is unchill-filtered for much greater mouthfeel and persistance. Bottled in small batches, in a high-quality and unusual bottle with a cork enclosure, it is aimed at a more discerning customer. Colour: light gold Nose: initial peat smoke, over a honied background Taste: smooth yet persistant light peat, overlapping delicate sweet notes, which in turn are complemented by touches of citrus fruit. The finish is long and delicately smoky, and ends in a gentle peated sweetness Lords Of The Isles Flatnose was the familiar name given to Ketill Bjornsson, one of the first ‘Lords of the Isles’. These seafaring men ruled the vast, rugged and wild western seaboard of Scotland from around the 9th to the 15th century, from their base at Finlaggan on Islay. Fiercely independent, lovers of life and community, we raise a glass to the Lords of the Isles and remind ourselves to live our lives like they did – born of adventure! Boys Of The Isles The ‘Islay Boys Ltd’ are Donald MacKenzie and Mackay Smith, from the villages of Port Charlotte and Portnahaven respectively, both situated on the Rhinns penisula on the west of Islay, the mythical whisky island.

A History of Campbeltown & Islay
A History of Campbeltown & Islay 12 pages written by Professor Michael Moss Islay and its neighbour Jura are the innermost of the Hebridean Islands. Islay is largely low lying and fertile, well- suited to growing grain, while Jura is mountainous with only a small coastal strip on the east side. Like Kintyre, both enjoy the warming currents of the Gulf Stream. Campbeltown lies at the end of the long Kintyre peninsula that stretches from Ardrishaig down to the Mull. Sheltered from the west by high ground (and the north of Ireland) and warmed by the Gulf Stream, it enjoys a mild temperate climate. The long fertile coastal plain on the east shore is ideal for growing oats and barley or bear or bigge. Top left, a map of Scotland with Campbeltown & Islay highlighted. Bottom left, a map of Campbeltown. Above, a map of Islay and Jura. Campbeltown and Islay were until not that long ago reached easily only by sea, but the waters around the Mull are perilous with strong tidal currents that made access dangerous, particularly in winter months. A History of Campbeltown & Islay Page 1 Since Scottish summers are frequently wet, As in much of Scotland, economic grain had to be dried in kilns.

MUTTER-Bookblock Sept 28 2016 FINAL.Indd
FOREWORD BY JIM MCEwaN first became aware of the Mutter family in July 1963 when I began my apprenticeship as a cooper at Bowmore Distillery. As you Ican imagine being a local lad, winning the coveted job remains as one of the many highlights I have experienced in my 52 years in the world of whisky distillation. The Mutter family were well remembered at Bowmore for their skills as farmers, engineers, entrepreneurs, sea faring men and, just as important, was their dedication to the community of Bowmore who must have been delighted that the owners of the distillery had chosen to live among them. Often I would listen to old timers’ tales as they sat around the huge peat fires; their eyes would sparkle and the cheeks flush and the stories flowed like the water in the lade, and the Mutters were often mentioned in the story telling. As a young apprentice this was a magical time and this amazing book has given me that same feeling again after all these years. As you travel through the pages you will meet the Mutter family and learn of their lives, successes and failures, their passion and love for Islay and indeed Scotland. The details of their business transactions are incredible, likewise was their ability to constantly improve the design and workings of whatever piece of machinery they felt could be improved; for example they created the first shell and tube condenser and this system is still used in 90% of the distilleries of Scotland today. However, the part of this wonderful heartwarming sincere story that really got me was the love that this family had for each other and still has today.
