  • The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts created by David Stewart, The Balvenie Malt Master and longest-serving Malt Master in the industry. Each has a very individual taste, but each is rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie. Produced in Speyside in the Scottish Highlands, the exceptional quality of The Balvenie Single Malt is due to the fact that The Balvenie Distillery retains and nurtures a high level of craftsmanship that other malt whisky producers no longer employ: nowhere else will you find a distillery that still grows its own barley, still malts in its own traditional floor maltings, still employs coopers to tend all the casks and a coppersmith to maintain the stills. Today the Balvenie Distillery produces a multi award-winning range of The Balvenie Single Malts, which includes The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old, The Balvenie Signature 12 Year Old, The Balvenie Single Barrel 15 Year Old, The Balvenie PortWood 21 Year Old and The Balvenie Thirty. A limited edition and a rare vintage cask over 30 years old are also bottled each year. Our Award Winning Single Malt The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, and his team of craftsmen are thrilled that their time honoured skills have been so highly rewarded. With over one hundred whisky awards in the last ten years, the world’s most acclaimed experts have recognised The Balvenie’s unique quality and range of tastes and the commitment to traditional malt whisky making, which sets us apart from other single malts.

  • Malt Whisky List 07 20
    !1 Malt Whisky List Welcome to the Kinlochewe Hotel Malt Whisky List. Here you will find a complete and detailed list of all our Malt Whisky, including the region they are from and condensed tasting notes. We hope you will find a Malt Whisky that suits both your taste and your pocket and if you require any further help in your selection please do not hesitate to ask one of our bar staff for guidance. We endeavour to have all the Malts listed in stock, but there will be occasions when some are unavailable. We hope this will not detract from your enjoyment and that you will be able to find a different Malt Whisky that is to your liking. !1 Our Local Distilleries Historically the North West of Scotland was poorly populated, and even those people were pushed off their land during the Highland Clearances, so there were never any distilleries in the region (well, not legal ones anyway!!). Most of the distilleries are located in the more populated and arable East Coast of Scotland. We do have some distilleries not too far away from Kinlochewe and they all have visitor centres and conduct tours of the distillery and are well worth a visit. Glen Ord Distillery: Is the closest to us and the one we consider as our local distillery. It is located on the Black Isle, to the west of Inverness, 38 miles from the Hotel. It was founded in 1838 and is unusual in that it has its own maltings on site, which supply it and other distilleries with malted barley.

  • History of Scotch Whiskey
    Scotch Whiskey The Gaelic "usquebaugh", meaning "Water of Life", phonetically became "usky" and then "whisky" in English. However it is known, Scotch whisky, Scotch or Whisky (as opposed to whiskey), it has captivated a global market. Scotland has internationally protected the term "Scotch". For a whisky to be labeled Scotch it has to be produced in Scotland. If it is to be called Scotch, it cannot be produced in England, Wales, Ireland, America or anywhere else. Excellent whiskies are made by similar methods in other countries, notably Japan, but they cannot be called Scotches. They are most often referred to as "whiskey". While they might be splendid whiskies, they do not captivate the tastes of Scotland. "Eight bolls of malt to Friar John Cor wherewith to make aqua vitae" The entry above appeared in the Exchequer Rolls as long ago as 1494 and appears to be the earliest documented record of distilling in Scotland. This was sufficient to produce almost 1500 bottles, and it becomes clear that distilling was already a well-established practice. Legend would have it that St Patrick introduced distilling to Ireland in the fifth century AD and that the secrets traveled with the Dalriadic Scots when they arrived in Kintyre around AD500. St Patrick acquired the knowledge in Spain and France, countries that might have known the art of distilling at that time. The distilling process was originally applied to perfume, then to wine, and finally adapted to fermented mashes of cereals in countries where grapes were not plentiful. The spirit was universally termed aqua vitae ('water of life') and was commonly made in monasteries, and chiefly used for medicinal purposes, being prescribed for the preservation of health, the prolongation of life, and for the relief of colic, palsy and even smallpox.
