Whisky & Ice – Curling in Scotland for our Norwegian friends

It is over, it was good, it was enjoyable, it will happen again. Our four intrepid curlers from Norway came to Scotland again for the curling, the scenery, the fun – and the whisky! They had it all.

2 November, an early start for Paul (driving), up at a silly hour to reach Broughty Ferry for Liz and 7am, a cuppa then on the road to Aberdeen airport to meet the guys at 9.20. Once we had them we wandered to the van and loaded luggage, even before the engine turned, Liz had given each of them an Innis & Gunn beer – Toasted Oak IPA 5.6% ABV. India Pale Ale first made its name in the 19th century. Its fervent hoppy character hails from the unique addition of large quantities of hops at three separate points during brewing. The result is a beer that’s rounded yet refreshing, with delicate floral notes and oodles of zesty freshness. It didnee last long! Almost an hour later we were at Huntly, where we turned off for Dufftown (and its 7 distilleries), sadly we drove through this time on our way to Rothes, where we did stop at Glen Grant distillery. Gruppo Campari is the 6th largest worldwide in the premium spirits industry, and marketed in more than 190 countries in the world. We toured their Rothes distillery – and enjoyed it and the drams that followed. Lunch break – we drove to the leisure centre, then met up with the opposing team – Elgin Rotary Curling Club, a very local club selected a team to compete with us in the first “International” curling for 2015. Sadly we lost, actually it was 4 ends each, but Elgin had more points, no matter, always another match to play. At the hotel they relaxed a wee while, then headed out for a fish supper (fish ‘n’ chips), a very good first day.

3 November, a wee lie in, as curling started at 10am, ten minutes from the hotel. Fochabers curling club were the team this morning and aye, we won! A good two hour session and the guys were overjoyed, handing out (as they do) drams and pin badges and saying thanks you and goodbyes. We scampered doon to Glenfiddich for a great lunch. This was a good easy relaxing lunch with great food I might add, they also enjoyed Spey Stout beers. This was followed at 2pm by The secrets of Solera. Including a visit to warehouse 8, the malt masters blending room: here they enjoyed tasting a number of cask-strength samples and a chance to step into Malt Master; Brian Kinsman’s role, preparing their very own version of Glenfiddich 15 year old by combining different cask samples together. A shopping diversion then back to the hotel. Rest – drink – chill out – take a walk – for later we met up and enjoyed a few drinks at the bar, followed by a Whisky Dinner. Whisky Cured Gravlax with Talisker 10 year old, Islay Beef Fillet with Caol Ila 12 year old, Vanilla Brulee with Ice Cold Dalwhinnie 15 yo., Coffee – After Dinner Mints. All enjoyed this, Liz and Paul have experienced this many times and once again it didnee disappoint. Specially the beef – oooooooooooooooooh! As the guys drank a few more drams, Liz and Paul took a taxi back to the cottage.

4 November, the main curling event – two sessions today: 10am and 1pm, each two hours duration. First up a ladies team Moray Firth ladies: Helen, Marilyn, Susan and Linda, the Norsemen won! They were delighted, second win in three matches. Lunch of soup and sandwiches, followed by a team potched together with whisky guys from Elgin, actually one lady also. I must say, our Vikings had met their match, aye they got hammered. After one end, they knew how good these folks were, but they enjoyed the time there, two wins, two defeats. We showed them Elgin cathedral, Johnstons shop, dropping them in town (they wanted to shop in M&S!). They ended the night with an Indian meal.

Innis & Gunn Original 6.6% ABV, whose accidental discovery in 2003 lies brings its singular taste – notes of biscuit, malt and vanilla swirling within a creamy, mellow character. A pioneering beer, its flavour finds favour with brewing juries, blind tasting panels and barflies alike, also our Vikings who drank it easily. As they did with several whiskies during the trip whilst aboard the van, we always have drams (in correct glasses by the way) on tour, our drams this time included, Indian peated, Scottish peated and non peated, and Scots blends, needless to say – all were happy – apart from Paul who was driving.

5 November, an early start picking the guys up at the hotel at 7.30 for the drive to Aberdeen airport. Reaching the airport just after 9am, sad farewells and hugs and the threats “we’ll be back!” It was yet another great tour we all enjoyed.

Liz, Paul and the Norwegian Curlers; Carl, Calle, Morten & Erik from the Stabek Curling Club.

Basil Hayden’s® Bourbon And Quoddy® Shoes to Release Limited Edition Gift Set for the Holiday Season

Deerfield, Ill. (October 29, 2015) – Basil Hayden’s® Bourbon, a distinctive super-premium bourbon known for its trademark spicy finish, and Quoddy®, the Maine-based footwear brand with a century-old family tradition of shoemaking, have come together to create 100 limited edition gift sets for the upcoming holiday season, perfect for bourbon fans who appreciate handcrafted, American-made finds. The co-branded gift sets will be exclusively available for purchase beginning November 1 at the “Basil Hayden’s Bourbon Holiday Shop” on Huckberry.com, an online curator and retailer of products that inspire active, adventurous and stylish lives.

“At Basil Hayden’s, we make our bourbon in small batches, using a family recipe said to date back to 1796, to ensure our fans experience the highest quality product,” said Halley Kehoe, Director, Small Batch Bourbons at Beam Suntory. “We are constantly on a mission to uncover brands that share the same values, which is why we teamed up with Quoddy – a brand rooted in history and dedication to handcraftsmanship – to create a premium gift set this holiday season that we hope bourbon and shoe fans alike will enjoy!”

The Basil Hayden’s + Quoddy limited edition gift set brings to life what each brand is known for: American craftsmanship and style. Each gift set will feature four leather wrapped rocks glasses, artfully packaged in a handmade leather gift box. A pair of custom, made-to-order co-branded Basil Hayden’s + Quoddy shoes will accompany each gift set, giving bourbon fans the opportunity to don their “drinking shoes” as they sip Basil Hayden’s Bourbon.

Each pair of custom Basil Hayden’s + Quoddy drinking shoes is made using hand-sewn Horween® leather – the same leather used to wrap each rocks glass – in a rich whiskey color and feature a co-branded insole and stylishly branded exterior. As one of the oldest running tanneries in America, founded in 1905, Horween offers an unparalleled blend of quality, consistency, responsiveness and innovation.

“We were instantly intrigued when Basil Hayden’s approached us about working together, because our first thought was that they are a brand that has a lot in common with ours. They’re focused on doing things the right way – not the easy way,” said John Andreliunas, President of Quoddy. “The Basil Hayden’s + Quoddy limited edition gift set is a testament to two brands that hold true to their roots and never give up on striving toward unrivaled craftsmanship and innovation. We think fans of great bourbon and great shoes will love receiving the gift set during the holidays!”

The Basil Hayden’s + Quoddy limited edition gift set will be available for purchase at the Basil Hayden’s Bourbon Holiday Shop beginning November 1 and will retail for $399.98. Quoddy’s expert craftsmen will make each gift set by hand, allowing for fifty gift sets to be initially available for consumer purchase on November 1, followed by an additional fifty sets on December 1. Each limited edition gift set includes* the following items:

  • Four leather wrapped rocks glasses
  • Basil Hayden’s + Quoddy co-branded leather gift box
  • Pair of custom, made-to-order co-branded Basil Hayden’s + Quoddy drinking shoes

In addition to selling the Basil Hayden’s + Quoddy limited edition gift sets, the “Basil Hayden’s Bourbon Holiday Shop” on Huckberry.com will also feature a curated collection of additional American-made home barware items, hand selected by Basil Hayden’s Cultural Blooodhound, Max Wastler, to provide bourbon fans with a one-stop shop for all of their home bar gift needs during the holiday season.

BALLANTINE’S HARD FIRED UNVEILED – Scotch Whisky News

AA Hard Fire

BALLANTINE’S HARD FIRED UNVEILED

Ballantine’s, Europe’s No.1 Scotch whisky and the No.2 Scotch whisky in the world, has launched Ballantine’s Hard Fired, an innovative expression that introduces a bespoke process in the production of Scotch whisky and provides a unique experience within the Ballantine’s family. Ballantine’s Hard Fired is set to appeal to whisky drinkers seeking authenticity and craftsmanship in new Scotch styles.

The taste profile of Ballantine’s Hard Fired whisky has been developed through the transformative power of fire. The signature hard firing of the barrels unlocks vanilla notes, hints of smoke and spice and provides a distinctive smoothness, resulting in a characterful and uniquely balanced whisky.

Ballantine’s Hard Fired’s bespoke process starts with the individual selection of American oak barrels by the wood management team. The barrels are then sent to highly skilled craftsmen at the cooperage to char them for a second time – a process known as ‘hard firing’ – while judging the char length and intensity by sight. Finally, Ballantine’s Master Blender Sandy Hyslop noses each barrel and selects those best to be filled with a unique Ballantine’s blend for resting.

Drawing on his expertise, Sandy Hyslop comments: “Ballantine’s Hard Fired showcases the natural and unique results that American oak and fire produce on Scotch whisky. When charred, casks form a natural layer of caramelised wood sugars that react with whisky and a double char understandably intensifies this effect. The result is a smooth, creamy and subtly smoky Scotch whisky with tasting notes of sweet honey, soft red apples and tangy liquorice. This balanced flavour profile results in a premium whisky that sits well within the Ballantine’s family style while offering something new.”

Peter Moore, Ballantine’s Global Brand Director, comments: “Ballantine’s Hard Fired is a natural progression for the brand as we continue to innovate within the Scotch whisky category. The double charring naturally unlocks flavour, creating a whisky that stays true to our philosophy of craftsmanship, authenticity and outstanding flavour. Ballantine’s Hard Fired is a modern, masculine expression that responds to current trends in the whisky market that demand new experiences while enjoying Scotch whisky.”
Ballantine’s Hard Fired has a 40% ABV and will be available from November onwards in Poland and France before rolling out globally in March 2016; price varies depending on the market. A global campaign capturing the influence of fire on the bespoke production process has been developed alongside new exciting signature serves to support the launch internationally.
