Hello there…
Well, this is unusual, isn’t it?
Not only is this a “mini” newsflash but the bottle I’m writing to tell you about is not even a Springbank product!
As many of you will know, our sister distillery Mitchell’s Glengyle is releasing it’s first core product, the Kilkerran 12yo Single Malt Scotch Whisky. I have included some product information below and a lovely picture of the bottle. I think you will agree that it looks stunning.
From tomorrow (Friday 5th) this lovely whisky will be available from our Campbeltown Cadenhead shop and elsewhere in the UK a week later (Friday 12th). Unfortunately, due to the fact we anticipate a high level of interest, our shop will not be able to facilitate reservations or pre-orders for this bottling and as such I ask that you be prepared to pay for your bottle upon ordering it. Release dates for other countries and markets will vary. Please contact you nearest stockist or retailer to find out when the Kilkerran 12yo is available near you.
The Kilkerran 12yo will be available for £35.00 in our Campbeltown shop.
You can contact our Campbeltown Cadenhead shop by calling +44 (0)1586 551710
or send us an email: shop@wmcadenhead.com
Important: This will not be available to order through me, nor can I pre-order or reserve you a bottle as this is not a Society bottle. Furthermore the Society discount is not applicable when purchasing this product as it is not a Springbank product.
Kilkerran 12yo has been matured in a marriage of bourbon (70%) and sherry (30%) casks and is bottled at 46% ABV. Like the Work In Progress series – and all releases from Glengyle’s sister distillery Springbank – the whisky has not been chill-filtered and no caramel colouring has been added. The whisky is double distilled in the traditional Scottish style and is produced from lightly-peated malt at around 12-15ppm.

And finally, I probably should mention that tonight the majority of the staff, including myself, are attending a ceilidh to celebrate the launch of the Kilkerran 12yo and as such I am not convinced many of us will be in a fit state to work on Friday morning… 😉
In all seriousness though, most of the office staff are taking Friday afternoon off so don’t be too alarmed if you have to wait until Monday to secure your bottle.
You will hear from me soon, I am planning on sending you all a regular Society Newsflash(!!!) in around a week or so.
Speak soon.
Slainte,
Nathan

Mulberry Bank Auction
Summer arrived with a bang, and then seemed to deflate somewhat…but that is Scottish weather for you!
We are now safely ensconced in our new premises in sunny (yet windy) Hillington and are ready to get sales going again, so here is the first Whisky & Wine sale from the new premises.
As with our previous auctions, we have both the traditional 1 day affair and the timed online auction, so don’t forget to bid on both. The traditional auction will take place on 9th August from 10am, and viewing is by appointment on Friday 5th & Monday 8th August.
For the second auction in a row we have a cask of Whisky available for sale in this auction, details are included in the accompanying document to this catalogue. It is a cask of Da Mhile Organic Springbank 1992, Cask no. 241, a sister to the cask sold in Hong Kong last year for £50000 and the last one maturing in Scotland. (Lot 100)
Other great whiskies to watch out for are the Macallan 18 year old 1967 bottling in pristine condition (Lot 5); the Kilkerran First cask collection of malts – all matured in different casks, from Madeira to Bourbon to Rum (Lot 108). There is also the lovely Signatory bottlings of Littlemill and Dunglas distilled in 1967 (Lot 24). There are also a number of Flora & Fauna bottlings in the wooden cases so watch out for them.
JACK DANIEL’S CELEBRATES 150TH ANNIVERSARY WITH LAUNCH OF
FIRST-EVER WORLDWIDE WHISKEY BARREL HUNT
South Africa joins global scavenger hunt to give Jack fans a chance to win a trip to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery
in Lynchburg and be a part of Jack Daniel’s history
July 29, 2016 – In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Jack Daniel Distillery, the first registered distillery in the U.S., Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey recently announced a global Jack Daniel’s Barrel Hunt – a global scavenger hunt to find 150 handcrafted barrels located at historic and cultural sites that will unite friends of Jack across the world.
It has been confirmed that two of these 150 coveted barrels will be hidden in different locations in South Africa and Jack Daniel’s together with KFM and 947 will be providing clues to help fans find them and stand the chance to win the incredible prizes concealed inside. Both barrel’s contents are valued at over R150,000 each and include all-expenses paid trips to Lynchburg, Tennessee, to be part of the 150th Distillery Anniversary celebration, and New York to learn more about the New York bar and American whiskey culture. This is the ultimate opportunity to be a part of Jack Daniel’s history.
“Jack Daniel’s has grown from a local name in Lynchburg to an iconic brand in more than 170 countries by remaining true to its legacy of authenticity, independence and integrity,” said Mark McCallum, President of Jack Daniel’s. “The 150th anniversary is a major milestone for the distillery and is a perfect opportunity to invite everyone to join us in our celebration of Jack Daniel’s with our first-ever global Barrel Hunt.”
947’s Anele Mdoda and KFM’s Rob Vember could be your travel companions
To find the barrel hidden in the city of gold, Jozi fans will need to listen to Anele’s show on 947 on Friday, 5 August and follow the Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey Facebook page. After the final clue has been given the first 50 fans to crack the clue and reach the secret location – bringing with them the password and proof of passport* – will each receive a key to open the barrel. Meanwhile, in Cape Town, KFM DJ Rob Vember will keep fans in suspense with clues on Friday, 19 August before the final dash to find the second barrel. In both cities, only one key opens each barrel!
The Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey Facebook page will be integral to helping fans locate the barrels at the secret locations. Each hidden barrel in the scavenger hunt was handcrafted from the distillery and used to mature Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey before being specially fabricated for the Barrel Hunt to house prizes including a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the home of Jack Daniel’s and also NYC accompanied by DJs Anele and Rob Vember. Other prizes hidden inside each barrel include an original, one-of-a-kind bar kit made with white oak from the barrels to commemorate the historic milestone.
* Participants need to be over the age of 21
“The barrel is key to crafting Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey as it accounts for 100 percent of its color and 70 to 80 percent of its flavor,” said Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller Jeff Arnett. “It’s an important part of our process that’s remained unchanged for 150 years, and that tradition will continue to live on in every barrel we make and each drop of our whiskey. The Barrel Hunt celebrates the distillery’s history and gives fans a chance to own a barrel and be forever linked to Jack Daniel’s.”
Bespoke +NESS designs reveal the clues for each city
Masters at their craft – depicting architectural projects that help define the skylines, culture, and history of South African cities – SA artists Max Melvill and Jamil Randera are the talented duo that make up +NESS. Selected to be a part of the 150th Anniversary celebration thanks to the craftsmanship evidenced in their work, Jack Daniel’s has commissioned +NESS to create a special series of works that showcase the facades of different locations, which will form the clues that ultimately uncover the whereabouts of the two SA-based barrels. Fans can look out for digital versions of these on Facebook.com/Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and the limited edition series will be among the prizes inside the two barrels.
Stay tuned to KFM and 947 during July and August to hear more stories about what makes Jack Daniel’s so special and stand the chance of winning daily prizes.
