Benromach “Whisky handcrafted the time-honoured way!” Abbey Whisky – Scotch Whisky News

Abbey1

Benromach Distillery

Using the finest natural ingredients, just three distillers orchestrate every second of the distillation process: there are no short cuts to perfection. Every cask is hand-filled, hand-weighed and hand-stamped before being matured for many years in traditional dunnage warehouses.

Why do Benromach do it this way?

Because it creates a gorgeous, classic pre-1960’s Speyside character: beautifully balanced with a light touch of smoke.

The old Speysiders from before the 1960’s are, frankly wonderful. So as passionate custodians of this rare character, Benromach distillery felt honour-bound to give the world back this very special style of malt.

Remember – we’re giving you the chance to win a bottle of 1976 Benromach when purchasing any of the bottles below!

This superb richly sherried single malt is matured for at least 12 years in a combination of the finest spanish pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice founded the distillery and produced his ‘Guid GlenDronach’ single malt. Down the years, the distillery he created has thrived under the stewardship of far-sighted investors like Walter Scott in 1847 and Captain Charles Grant in 1920. In more recent times, GlenDronach was bought in 1960 by William Teacher & Sons.

INTRODUCING THE GLENLIVET CIPHER – Scotch Whisky News

Glenlivet20Cipher_zpsht4mi7qb

INTRODUCING THE GLENLIVET CIPHER

The Glenlivet challenges whisky connoisseurs to decode its latest limited edition expression unveiled by new Global Brand Director, Miriam Eceolaza Zabalza 

The Glenlivet has unveiled The Glenlivet Cipher, a mysterious single malt Scotch whisky released without any cask information or tasting notes, testing whisky fans’ noses and palates against The Glenlivet Master Distiller, Alan Winchester. An innovative interactive digital experience will build consumer engagement by providing support to decode the flavour profile.

Presented in an opaque black bottle, The Glenlivet Cipher is designed to be the ultimate challenge for single malt Scotch whisky drinkers. Crafted from a unique cask combination that has never before been used by The Glenlivet, Cipher offers a new flavour experience to explore while maintaining the flawlessly smooth and fruity flavour profile that the distillery is famous for.

The journey to decode the tasting notes of The Glenlivet Cipher begins on the label of the bottle, where the first clue appears with a prompt to visit the official The Glenlivet microsite at cipher.theglenlivet.com. Once online, Alan Winchester lays down the challenge to decipher the tasting notes through a video. Visitors to the site are encouraged to create a flavour wheel by selecting six aromas for the nose and six flavours for the palate, indicating the strength of each, resulting in more than 10,000 possible flavour combinations.

Additional support – including tasting tips from Alan Winchester plus further clues – helps whisky fans to decode the taste and allows those without a bottle of The Glenlivet Cipher to learn more about the whisky tasting experience. Once the flavour wheel has been created, users will receive a cipher of their tasting notes and a percentage score that can be shared on social media, to generate conversation between fellow whisky enthusiasts. At a future date, Master Distiller for The Glenlivet, Alan Winchester, will reveal the official tasting notes of the expression to The Glenlivet Guardians, the online community of brand advocates.

Alan Winchester comments: “The rise in the popularity of single malt Scotch whisky over the past 10 years means that more people than ever are actively nosing, tasting and discussing single malt Scotch whisky, which is fantastic. It is therefore a great pleasure to introduce The Glenlivet Cipher to the world as it presents a challenge for Scotch whisky fans at all levels. For the true whisky connoisseurs out there, we have combined a unique and original selection of casks to craft The Glenlivet Cipher as part of our commitment to building upon the flawlessly smooth and fruity house style of The Glenlivet.”

“I very much look forward to seeing which whisky fans manage to decipher the expression’s exact flavour profile and cask make-up over the coming months. So log onto cipher.theglenlivet.com to test your senses, increase your knowledge of whisky flavours and share your thoughts on social media using #TheGlenlivetCipher.”

Newly appointed Miriam Eceolaza Zabalza, added: “It is a great honour to mark my arrival as   Global Brand Director for the Malts Portfolio at Chivas Brothers with such an exciting and innovative campaign in The Glenlivet Cipher. I bring with me a deep respect for the value of heritage, provenance and craftsmanship to discerning drinkers around the world from my time at Pernod Ricard Winemakers, and I very much look forward to helping The Glenlivet continue to push the boundaries of flavour exploration and set the standard for the quality and style of Scotch whiskies from the iconic Speyside region.”

Available from June 2016, The Glenlivet Cipher is available in limited quantities in 25 markets worldwide, including the United Kingdom, Taiwan and Canada, at the recommended selling price of $120.

Glenmorangie LAUNCHES old fashioned WEEK – Scotch Whisky News

Glenmorangie

Glenmorangie LAUNCHES old fashioned WEEK 

Glenmorangie – the Spirit of the British Open Golf Championship – is launching its very first ‘Old Fashioned Week’ on 13th June, in celebration of its world-renowned Extra Matured Range ahead of this year’s Open at Royal Troon.

Glenmorangie is now in its fifth year of sponsoring the British Open. In previous years, The Original has been the focus, however, this year the spotlight will be on Glenmorangie’s Extra Matured Range to celebrate the ‘Greatest Finishes’ campaign – inviting consumers to vote for their favourite Greatest Finish in the history of the Open and, of course, some of the world’s greatest finishes in whisky.

In the pursuit of the perfect whisky cocktail, Glenmorangie has partnered with drinks expert and writer Laura Foster, to travel up and down the UK filming renowned bartenders creating their perfect ‘Greatest Finishes’ serve. Each bar will then list their chosen cocktail for the inaugural Old Fashioned Week from 13th – 19th June*.

Laura’s cocktail video diary will feature some of the UK’s most acclaimed bartenders exhibiting their Old Fashioned inspired serves, made from Glenmorangie’s Quinta Ruban, La Santa or Nectar D’Or.

Laura comments “It was so inspiring to see the numerous different ways that the bartenders had approached creating their whisky cocktails. From the gorgeous simplicity displayed at Happiness Forgets, through to the complexity demonstrated at Boisdale Canary Wharf, there was real creativity and variation across the board. It just goes to show the diversity of whisky, and in this case the Glenmorangie Extra Matured Range, and the way it can be enjoyed.”

Dr Bill Lumsden, Head of Whisky Creation at Glenmorangie, is responsible for countless great finishes. To ‘finish’ a whisky is to extra-mature it, adding new flavours and layers of complexity. This technique was pioneered by Glenmorangie in the early 1990s. After 10 years in oak Glenmorangie Original is ready to be bottled. Alternatively, it is ready to become Lasanta (finished in very specific sherry butts), Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (finished in Port pipes), or Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or (finished in sweet wine barriques from Sauternes).

“It’s an art,” says Dr Bill Lumsden, “which takes skill and know-how. Our work with extra-maturation began long before we first released any such bottlings. Glenmorangie is an acknowledged first-mover in this area and we’ve learned that not all wood finishes are equal, that wood does magic things to whisky but that practice and precision are required.”

“Through skillful wood finishing a good whisky can be made even better and a very good whisky can be made great. But a great finish can only be achieved when first principles have been attended to, when everything that has gone before is perfect.”

Old Fashioned Week launches on Monday 13th June at www.Glenmorangie.com  and will take place over seven days. Each day will see short films from Laura’s video diary of Glenmorangie’s partner bars creating their own special serve using the Extra Matured Range, some of which have been inspired from the bartenders’ experience on the golf course themselves.

Visit www.Glenmorangie.com for more details and to see a full list of participating bars across the UK.
