Whiskey

During the early 19th century, illegal distilleries were commonplace throughout the Speyside region of Scotland. In 1823, however, Alexander Gordon pushed the Excise Act of 1823 through Parliament. The Excise Act allowed illegal distillers throughout Scotland to apply for and obtain licenses to legally distill spirits. In 1824, a businessman named George Smith applied for one of the first licenses in the Speyside region of Scotland and opened the doors to The Glenlivet Distillery. For nearly two centuries, The Glenlivet Distillery has been producing the single malt whisky that started it all.Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made using barley sourced from Crisp Maltings, Portgordon (Portgordon is a village in Moray, Scotland). After the barley has been malted and mashed, it is fermented in wooden washbacks for approximately two days. The wooden washbacks used by Glenlivet are more difficult and expensive to maintain as compared to the stainless steel washbacks used by most Scottish distilleries, but impart a distinctive, floral quality to the whisky.After the barley has been fermented, it is distilled twice first through Glenlivets wash still, and then again through Glenlivets spirits still. Originally designed by George Smith, the copper-pot stills have a unique, lantern-like shape, which encourages contact between the whisky and the copper. The copper strips the whisky of any impurities it may have, and provides for a lighter and more pure flavor profile.Following distillation, The Glenlivet Ndurra First Fill Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky is drawn from casks of American White Oak, which have never before been used to mature Scotch whisky. The technique of using virgin casks has been in favour with distillers at The Glenlivet since the early 1900s, and according to the distillery, the Ndurra is the purest expression of The Glenlivet.The untouched oak imparts a nose of creamy vanilla and sweet pears to this whisky, and contributes to a palate filled with notes of tropical pineapple and ripe bananas. The finish is medium-bodied and refreshing, making the Glenlivet Ndurra First Fill Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky perfect to drink straight or in a cocktail.Bottled at cask strength, The Glenlivet Ndurra First Fill Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a brand-new expression from a distillery with an incredibly rich tradition.Pick up a bottle of your Glenlivet today!

These casks are some of the most highly prized and sought after casks used by whisky makers, and impart distinctive notes of dried fruits, raisins, apricots, orange marmalade and dark chocolate to the whisky. After maturing in the casks, the whisky is bottled at cask strength without the use of chill filtration (Ndurra means "natural" in Gaelic).Pick up a bottle of this glorious Glenlivet today!

Created with respect for traditional methods this whisky is produced in small batches and bottled at natural cask strength without chill-filtration. Finished in casks that have previously held heavily peated Scotch, The Glenlivets classic, smooth and fruity house style has been enriched with gentle, aromatic smoky notes. As a result, The Glenlivet Ndurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish, has a nose of soft red apples mixed with citrus zest and aromatic smoke. The palate consists of a rich tangy marmalade followed by creamy vanilla toffee and a distinct toasted smokiness. The finish is long and complex with spicy notes layered by subtler smoky notes.Ndurra, for me, perfectly captures the original passion behind the distillery and our commitment to crafting unique flavors. Its a wonderfully warm whisky, with swirls of vanilla cream and subtle traces of tangy smoke which is definitely a new territory for The Glenlivet and one I hope Caskers Members will enjoy!

In February 1899, Shinjiro Torii the father of Japanese Whisky opened a general store in Osaka, Japan that traded in imported wines. Within a decade, Torii began producing his own sweet grape wine called Akadama Port Wine, which became wildly popular throughout the country. Following the end of World War I, Torri fascinated by whisky his entire life decided to expand his business and began construction of the Yamazaki Distillery, Japans first-ever whisky distillery.Fifty years after the construction of the Yamazaki Distillery, Keizo Saji inherited his fathers vision and began construction of Suntorys second distillery. Although inspired by traditional Scottish distilleries, both Torii and Saji envisioned a uniquely Japanese approach to distilling whisky. As a result, the Hakushu Distillery is situated amidst the deep forests of Mount Kaikomagatake in Japans southern Alps, and enjoys a unique microclimate as a result of being surrounded by nearly 6,000 varieties of plants and thousand-year-old granite rocks.The Hakushu 12 Year Old Japanese Single Malt Whisky is made exclusively from malted barley, which is milled and mashed with water sourced from the Ojira River and Jingu Rivers (the water has a unique softness and purity, made possible by its filtration through the granite rocks of the Japanese Alps). Once the grains have been mashed, they are fermented by a unique strain of yeast (Hakushu Distillery has thousands of unique strains in its arsenal) in wooden washbacks. Despite the additional cost and labor required, wooden washbacks as compared to stainless steel washbacks take advantage of the distillerys unique location by incorporating naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms into the wash.Following fermentation, the wash is distilled twice through Hakushus copper-pot stills before the whisky is laid to rest in the distillerys warehouses. Once the whisky has aged for a minimum of twelve years, it is brought to proof with pure Japanese spring water. As a result of the whiskys slumber in Japans deep forests, Hakushu 12 Year Old Japanese Single Malt Whisky has an herbal aroma, with hints of apples, pears and almonds. The palate has notes of pears, butter cookies and dark plums that are complemented by a subtle, smoky undertone. The finish is soft and pleasant, with a dry, lingering touch.Hakushu 12 Year Old earned the Gold Medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, where it was named "Best in Class."

Over the past century, nearly one hundred malt whisky distilleries in Scotland have been permanently closed or destroyed. Most of these distilleries were lost as a result of macroglobal conditions, such as Prohibition, world wars or financial crises. As a result, many of the unique and venerable brands in the Scotch whisky industry were considered permanently lost until now.The Lost Distillery Company is an independent boutique Scotch Whisky company that is determined to create unique, modern expressions of the legendary whiskies that were distilled nearly a century ago. "We are obsessive about our craft and uncompromising when it comes to whisky quality," says Michael Moss, the distillerys Master Archivist. Moss is a Professor of Archival Science at the University of Glasgow and focuses on ten critical components in order to accurately recreate whiskies that were distilled nearly a century ago.The ten critical components are the date of last distillation, the region within which the distillery was located, the distillerys water source, the distillerys barley source, the distillerys yeast source, the distillerys drying process, the distillerys mash tun, the distillerys wash back, the distillerys still and the type of wood that was used to mature the whisky. Once these components are determined, Moss and his team of archivists and whisky makers marry together single malt whiskies from distilleries across Scotland in order to create a present day interpretation of that long lost whisky legend.The Lost Distillery Gerston Malt Scotch Whisky is a recreation of a single malt whisky distilled at Gerston Distillery, which existed in two iterations Gerston One (1796-1882), which was a small, family-sized operation that nonetheless gained customers throughout London, India and Brazil, and Gerston Two (1886-1914), which was more of an industrial scale operation with ten times the production capacity of Gerston One. While Gerston Two could never quite emulate the success of its predecessor ultimately Gerston Two was demolished in in 1914 the Gerston name will forever be remembered for its excellent quality and early popularity in the style of lightly peated, malted barley now synonymous with the Highlands region in Scotland.Once the malt whiskies used to recreate each of these single malts have been married together, they are prepared for bottling. "While our ten key components are critical in determining the flavor profile of a whisky we recreate," says Moss, "its just as important to recognize what wasnt in the whisky. A century ago, there was no such thing as chill filtration or caramel colouring of the final product. Thats why we dont do either of these things today."As a result of this recreation process, The Lost Distillery Gerston Malt Scotch Whisky has notes of bitter orange, fresh linens and toffee on the nose, and a palate marked by cereal grains, roasted nuts, raisins and licorice. The finish is powerful with notes of peat, seaweed and sweet butter candy.Pick up a unique malt whisky recreation today!

The Lost Distillery Company is a boutique Scotch Whisky company, that specializes in crafting new artisanal expressions with blends from long lost distilleries in Scotland. The distillery aims to create contemporary blends without compromising authenticity. Founders Scott Watson and Brian Woods, both have expansive resumes, working with industry giants such as Diageo. They launched their Lost Distillery project in 2013. When reincarnating the whiskies they review several key components to ensure that they retain their original character. From the era in which the distillery existed, to the nature of the ingredients used in the whisky (where the barley, yeast, peat and water were sourced), and the wood used to store and finish the spirit. An exhaustive list of factors are reviewed before proceeding with the artisanal expression. The company also has an archiving team led by a professor from The University of Glasgow, Michael Moss.The Lost Distillery pays homage to the Lossit Distillery. Malcolm McNeill, a prominent farmer-distiller, founded the distillery in 1817, The Islay distillery at Lossit Kennels, near Port Askaig. In its earliest years, Lossit was the biggest producer of whisky on Islay until they closed in 1867. Lossit used either ex-sherry, or pure oak casks. These sherry casks, infused sweet, zesty fruit flavors into the aging spirit. Fragrant peaty notes fused with floral notes from the bere barley. They sourced water from Loch Lossit. The rise of big blending enterprise started the demise of the pure malt distillery. The Lost distillerys Lossit blended malt is soft smoke on the nose followed by almond milk accompanied with flavors of porridge, pear drops and lemons. The palate is peaty and peppery with toasted oak notes. Grab a bottle today!

Situated on a ridge above the banks of the River Spey, the Easter Elchies House has been the spiritual home of The Macallan for over three centuries. In 1820, Alexander Reid began renting the home from Sir Lewis Grant of Grant. Reid was a farmer, and soon after he sowed the fields surrounding the home with barley, Reid established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. Today, the Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of the Macallan Estates Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan). In addition, the distillery contracts with farmers to purchase barley that is low in nitrogen and high in starch, resulting in a rich and oily whisky.After the barley is harvested in late August and early September, it is malted before being mashed in one of The Macallans two mash tuns, a process that takes between four and eight hours. Then, the barley is fermented with a specially cultured yeast before being distilled twice through The Macallans copper-pot stills. Following distillation, The Macallan distillers remove the heads and tails of the whisky and collect approximately 16 percent of the spirit to fill into casks for maturation. This "cut," which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and rich whisky.The Macallan has been known for its unsurpassed commitment to the mastery of wood and spirits since its establishment in the 1824. A showcase of this, the 12 Year Old Sherry Oak is a part of The Macallans Sherry Oak range, featuring a series of single malt whiskies matured exclusively in hand-picked sherry seasoned oak casks sourced from Jerez. Rich, complex and full of matured character this whisky delivers rich wood spice, vanilla and dried fruits and a natural rich gold color.Pick up your bottle today!

In 1820, Alexander Reid sowed the fields surrounding the rented home with barley and established the first licensed distillery on the estate, which he named Macallan after an ancient church that had been destroyed by fire during the 15th century. In the slow winter days, Reid would ferment and distill his excess grains into whisky, which was often drunk straight from the still or sold to travelers passing through the town.Today, the Macallan Estate encompasses 370 acres, 95 of which are devoted to the production of the Macallan Estates Minstrel barley (a single acre produces about 2.5 tons of barley each year, enough to yield 1,800 bottles of The Macallan).

Then, the barley is fermented with a specially cultured yeast before being distilled twice through The Macallans copper-pot stills. The copper comprising the stills acts as a catalyst and enhances the formation of sweet esters while minimizing impurities such as sulfur. In addition, the curiously small stills some of "the smallest stills within the Scotch whisky industry," according to production manager Alexander Tweedie produce a whisky with a heavy, oily flavor.Following distillation, The Macallan distillers remove the heads and tails of the whisky and collect approximately 16 percent of the spirit to fill into casks for maturation. This "cut," which is among the highest of any Scottish distillery, results in a more full-bodied and richer whisky.The Double Cask range combines the sweetness of American oak with sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks. These are hand-picked by the wood masters at Macallan. The new American oak is first brought to Spain to be assembled and sherry-seasoned before the barrels travel to Speyside for the maturation. The whiskies are then combined with European oloroso sherry casks. The 15 Years Old Double Cask is an exquisite example of this process with the sherry-seasoned American oak adding toffee to the gentle spice of European oak, resulting in a sweet and warm-charactered whisky.Grab a bottle now!

Founded in 1824, The Macallan is one of the "Big 3" single malts in Scotland the other two are Glenfiddich and Glenlivet. Fortunately, The Macallan has achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. A change in UK labeling laws aced them out of their "Speyside" designation. But just because the British Parliament gerrymandered the "official" boundaries doesnt mean whiskey-lovers have to pay any attention. The Macallan single malts are famous for their classic Speyside style and the heavily sherried influence of their core rage.The Macallan has been creating single malt whisky for so long at such a high volume and such a high level that they have what sports teams call a very "deep bench." Their incredible inventory of rare, aging single malt gives them the ability to pinpoint flavors and special editions for the refined whisky palate that satisfy a huge, global following. Their achievements are numerous, including setting the record price ever paid at auction for a single bottle of scotch at auction this year.The Macallan Triple Cask Matured line is a marriage of single malt whiskies that have been married in American sherry-seasoned casks, European sherry-seasoned butts, and American ex-bourbon barrels. They refer to the three elements as "A Trinity of Spirits" and the line available in three different agings has become one of The Macallans most popular offerings.The Macallan 18 Year Old Triple Cask Matured previously known as Fine Oak 18 Years Old sits at the top of the line. The eighteen years of aging not only develops an exquisite flavor profile, it also adds a velvety character and mouthfeel over complex notes of baking spices, vanilla and cocoa, orange and wood smoke.Get your bottle today!
