∨ ON POUR AT WHISKY + ALEMENT ∧ ON POUR AT MELBOURNE WHISKY ROOM WHISKY MENU ∨ ON POUR AT WHISKY + ALEMENT ∧ ON POUR AT MELBOURNE WHISKY ROOM WHAT IS AN OFFICIAL BOTTLER? An official bottling of whisky is a bottle that is sold by the distillery itself. WHAT IS AN INDEPENDENT BOTTLER? An independent bottler is a person or company that purchases one or multiple casks from the producer and bottles it under their own name. Independent bottlers often release single cask whiskies which allows them to offer a product that would not usually be seen by the larger market due to the limited number of bottles available in one cask. This also allows them to deliver a larger spectrum of flavour through their large number of single cask bottliings opoosed to official single malt bottlings which often comprise of a blend of hundreds of casks. INDEX OF INDEPENDENT BOTTLERS OB – Official Bottling (bottled by the distillery owned company), IB – Independent Bottler (small scale), SMWS – The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, GM – Gordon & MacPhail, S – Signatory Vintage, CH – Cadenhead, HS – Hidden Spirits, SS – Silver Seal, KB – Kingsbury, MB – Maltbarn of Germany, SAM – Silvano Samaroli, WF – Whisky Fassle, AC – Acorn, DL – Douglas Laing, WM – Wilson & Morgan, W – Wemyss, WR – Whisky Roundabout, A – Adelphi.

Since then, demand for these whiskies has grown and our archive of SMWS bottlings is now available for you to try at the Melbourne Whisky Room. Over the coming years, this will be added to and drawn upon for special society events and tastings. Look for SMWS throughout this menu for a taste of whisky ordinarily only reserved for members.

    The Orkney Hotel Whisky Menu

    THE ORKNEY HOTEL WHISKY MENU ORKNEY MALTS Orkney’s rugged and windswept character has shaped some of Scotland’s most distinct and warming malt whiskies. Highland Park 12yr (40%) From Scotland’s northernmost distillery comes a full flavoured Malt. With a nose of malt, sherry and peat, a palate of smoke, heather and other earthy elements. Highland Park 15yr (43%) Highland Park 15 has a remarkable complex nose with notes of camphor, peat and citrus fruits and flowers. The drying sensation on the finish leaves a rich smoky feeling and the immediate desire to refill your glass. Highland Park 18yr (43%) Burnished gold in colour with a rich, mature oak and aromatic smoke aroma. It has a rich, full flavour, honey and peat taste and a soft, round and long finish. Highland Park 21yr (47.5%) Drawing its incredible character from predominantly American oak casks which have been seasoned with sherry, this 21 year old is a truly dynamic whisky with an intensely fruity and spicy centre, surrounded by complex layers of candied orange peel, dark chocolate and rich, slightly drier smoke. A malt that rewards patience and delivers experience like no other. Highland Park 25yr (50.7%) With its golden dark red colour and very rich, mature oak, chocolate fudge aroma, this whisky is universally acclaimed, by the critics as one of the great single malts. It has a full, rich burst of flavours, soft honey and nutty toffee and a long and surprisingly sweet finish for its age. Highland Park 30yr (48.1%) 30 years ago after deciding to lay down the casks that would go on to become the heart of this exceptional whisky and over these 3 decades, the whisky maturing inside them has developed an outstanding balance, with a seductive sweetness and extremely delicate smoke.

However, there are other, smaller producers with huge fan bases, wonderful products, and impressive award portfolios operating in the land of the rising sun. Large and small, here are the more established Japanese producers you should look out for. Photographer: Akio Kon/ Bloomberg. Photo: Â © 2013 Bloomberg Finance LP Â © 2013 Bloomberg Finance LP Suntory - Yamazaki, Hakushu, & Chita These distilleries are all owned by Suntory, and each was created to expand the range of flavours in Suntory’s whiskies. For this reason, each distillery was built in areas with different humidity level and altitudes, which are both factors that greatly affect the maturation, and so, final flavour profile of a whisky. 1/6 The Yamazaki distillery is located just outside Kyoto and is Japan’s most popular distillery. Its expressions are also the most awarded worldwide. Hakushu, also known as the forest distillery, creates smokier, more floral whiskies, while the Chita distillery is the company’s dedicated grain whisky distillery, creating grain whiskies that are either bottled or used in Suntory’s blended whiskies.

    How Japanese Whisky Became the World’s Best vogue.com/article/how-japanese-whisky-became-the-worlds-best 1/5 2/5 Tasting Room at Suntory Yamazaki distillery Photo: Alamy In the eyes of many spirits fans, Scotch is to fine whisky as Champagne is to fine wine—the indisputable best. Yet over the last few years, whisky connoisseurs have become increasingly enamored with whiskies from Japan, many of them similar to single-malt Scotches in their methods and composition, but with a character all their own. The history of whisky in Japan stretches back a century, and does find its roots in Scotch, in particular. Its pioneer, a Japanese man by the name of Masataka Taketsuru, journeyed to Scotland in 1918 to learn the trade. After apprenticing at three distilleries, he returned to Japan as the master distiller for the Suntory company in 1923, eventually beginning distillation in his own enterprise, which would come to be called Nikka, in 1936. (Today, Nikka and Suntory remain the two major names in the industry.) But decades elapsed before the spirit took off. In the United States, the demand for Japanese whisky kicked off when certain prized bottles began to earn international acclaim. In 2001, Whisky Magazine honored Nikka’s 10-Year Yoichi as its “Best of the Best.” Other awards ensued, and the spirit drew greater attention still when Suntory’s Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013, remarkably, beat out all other nations and was named the world’s best whisky by Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible in 2015.
