WHISKY & WHISKEY (Prices per 25ml serve) SCOTTISH WHISKY To love Scotch whisky is to also love the culture and history of the country, as they certainly go hand-in-hand! Each bottle evokes a story of people and places like no other. To love it is to start a conversation that never ends; the Speyside lovers, arguing their case against the ‘Peat Freaks’ to die-hard Highland fans with memories of parents who nursed a dram by the fire in their youth. Exploring Scotch whisky will open up many doors and give you new friends for life. Welcome! WHISKY AND WHISKEY SPEYSIDE The capital of malt whisky production in Scotland. A small area compared to neighbouring region, the Highlands, Speyside actually represents nearly half of all operational distilleries in the country. Generally sweeter than the other whisky producing regions, Speyside whiskies fall into three main styles: light and floral, medium bodied, or rich and robust. Quite often tannic, spiced and with a distinct note of dark fruits, the shared complexity and elegance of the whiskies that come from this region are what drive its popularity.

The Lowlands is the home to more distillation than any other region, however the majority of the whiskies produced in this area go towards creating blended whiskies. Suffering a similar hit to American whiskies in terms of having to deal with war and prohibition, not to mention the poor-quality spirit that flooded the market in the 18th and 19th centuries, earning the region a bad reputation. Thus, forcing many of the distilleries to ‘fall silent’ or sell to other distilleries hence its inclusion in many blended whiskies.

  • 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
