“We are excited by our placements at the IWSC,” said Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley. “The judging for this competition is very rigorous, so we feel very proud of these results.”

The International Wine and Spirit Competition was founded in 1969 and is the premier competition of its kind in the world. Its aim is to promote the quality and excellence of the world’s best wines, spirits and liqueurs.

All entries are first blind tasted in groups divided by variety, region and vintage as necessary, by professional expert judges (by glass, not bottle) and then the top products are sent for detailed chemical and microbiological analysis. This analysis is crucial as in some instances the results of this analysis may lead to marks being deducted or even outright rejection.

Liquid poetry

Isle of Arran Distillers on the hunt for official poem for new distillery

The Isle of Arran Distillers have launched a competition to find the official poem for their Lagg Distillery. The winning entry will take pride of place onsite at the new distillery that is due to open in the Spring of 2019.

Budding writers have been tasked with producing a poem that beautifully captures the Isle of Arran’s history, landscape or, quite simply, it’s spirit – whisky or otherwise. The closing date for entries is Friday 14 December and the winner and two runners up will be announced on Burns Night, Friday 25 January 2019.

As well as having their poem immortalised at the Lagg Distillery, the winning entry will be exclusively published in Scottish Field magazine, the official media partner for the competition. The winning poet will also be invited to the official opening of the new Lagg Distillery & Visitor Centre in Spring of next year. The two runners up will receive an exclusive Lagg Distillery goodie bag.

The Isle of Arran Distillers have assembled an expert judging panel that will mull over each entry. Judges include Hamish Whyte, honorary research fellow in the Department of Scottish Literature at Glasgow University, Jim Carruth, Poet Laureate of Glasgow since 2014, Rachel McCormack, a renowned chef and author of Chasing the Dram, Kenny Smith, editor at Scottish Field, Graham Omand, the Lagg Distillery manager, and Faye Waterlow, the Lagg Visitor Centre manager.

Speaking about the competition, Euan Mitchell, managing director of Isle of Arran Distillers, said: “We’re thrilled to launch this competition to help celebrate the opening of our new Distillery. To us, whisky is liquid poetry and we want to include this spirit at Lagg.

“The judges and I are very excited to read the work that is inspired by the island and the ‘Arran Waters’. Who knows, we might uncover the next big literary talent! It’s also very fitting to coincide the announcement of the winning poem with Burns Night. At the Isle of Arran Distillers, we are proud to be the only whisky-maker to have a dram that’s officially endorsed by The World Robert Burns Federation.”

All entries can be submitted to Scottish Field magazine by emailing Kenny Smith at ksmith@scottishfield.co.uk with the subject ‘Isle of Arran Distillers – Poetry Competition’.  Entrants will also need to include in their name, contact information and date of birth as this competition is only open to those over the age of 18.

Poems can also be submitted by post using the following address:

Kenny Smith

Scottish Field

496 Ferry Road,

Edinburgh,

EH5 2DL

Please be sure to also include within your entry letter your name, your contact information and your date of birth.

Terms and conditions for the competition can be found on the Scottish Field and Isle of Arran Distillers websites.

The most recent milestone for the Lagg Distillery is the completion of the steelworks. With the structure now in place, the Distillery has begun to take on its distinctive shape, overlooking the south coast of Arran and the Firth of Clyde. The new distillery has been positioned next to fields of barley that provide a portion of the malt currently used in distillation at Lochranza.

Come this autumn the copper pot stills will be installed, followed in early 2019 by the first production run of the new heavily-peated (50ppm) spirit that will become, in time, the flagship Lagg Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The Isle of Arran Distillers has released 700 of the first casks of this whisky for purchase. Each of casks, priced at £6,000, will remain at the distillery for a minimum of ten years of maturation under the careful eye of the Lagg Distillery team. The casks owners will then have the opportunity to bottle the spirit, complete with a limited-edition Lagg Cask society label, or pay an annual fee to continue the maturation process until the desired age is attained. It is expected that the casks will be laid down in early 2019. No further casks will be made available for sale to the public during the first ten years of production at Lagg.

Just Whisky Auction Live – Amazing Selection of Whisky

Just Whisky is delighted to go live with their 58th auction, we have a vast array of bottles for your collection, for a wee dram and for the investor.  Whatever you are looking for we have you covered.  The Auction ends Sunday 16^th September from 8.00pm (BST)

Macallan Genesis

This bottle caused some issues near the distillery on the day of sale, closing roads and causing traffic problems.  I think you will agree it is very stylish in appearance and celebrates the opening of the new distillery.  This special limited edition bottling was released in August 2018 to commemorate the opening of the newly built Macallan distillery, which opened it’s doors just a few months prior. This commemorative bottle contains complex and masterful whisky that reflects each painstaking step in the whisky process taken to make The Macallan. It celebrates the creation of an iconic distillery in a unique collaboration with renowned architects Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners. Presented in a beautiful box along with a lithographic print of the distillery, each one signed by Graham Stark, the lead architect.

Bowmore 18 Years Old – Sherriff’s 75 proof

Bowmore distillery has a long history, and this bottle is one of the rarest we’ve seen at auction. The distillery was bought from the Mutter family in 1925 by J.B. Sheriff & Co. and remained under their ownership until being purchased by Inverness-based William Grigor & Son, Ltd. in 1950. This whisky is from spirit distilled during this period and is bottled at 75° proof.

Dalmore 35 Years Old

An impressive show-stopping piece from Dalmore, aged for 35 long years in three types of casks: A bourbon barrel, a colheita-port pipe and a Matusalem sherry and presented in a Baccarat Crystal decanter.  One of only 1000 bottles released.

Laphroaig 12 Years Old – Cadenhead’s 80 proof 1960’s

An incredibly well-preserved bottle of Laphroaig, bottled – we believe – in the late 1960’s by Aberdeen-based Wm. Cadenhead.  Red stopper with white plastic seal. 80° Proof.

Bowmore 50yo

An incredible release from Bowmore distillery, Islay. Distilled on a very cold day in December 1961 and laid down in two ex-bourbon hogshead casks, the Bowmore 50-Year-Old has spent half a century maturing in the legendary No. 1 Vaults. In 2011, just 200 bottles of this truly exceptional single malt were bottled. Bowmore 50 Year Old is a celebration of not just one Mastercraft, but many, starting with the time-honoured skills of Bowmore’s small distillery team that cold winter’s day on Islay.

Enough talk! Let’s view the auction!

New & Rare

The Macallan Rare Cask has been a favourite among whisky aficionados since its introduction as part of the 1824 series.

International shipping available

The Macallan Rare Cask Batch No.1 2018 Release

Canada Distils

a new book from

After what seems an eternity of planning, traveling from coast to coast, and writing, Blair Phillips and I are overjoyed that our forthcoming book, called Canada Distils, will be published on the Appetite by Random House imprint of Penguin Random House Canada. Thank you to everyone who has helped and hosted us in our travels so far. We’re not done yet, so don’t be surprised if we call or drop by looking for information.

The book profiles of all of Canada’s operating distilleries, large and small, along with little-known details for visitors and armchair visitors alike. There is so much more between the pages, but you’ll just have to be patient to find out what.

The Strath / Shelter Point exclusives

Two new Shelter Point whiskies, both exclusive to The Strath liquor store in Victoria are well worth hunting down. Shelter Point is really coming into its own and The Strath has picked two of its honeyest honey barrels to release as single-cask whiskies. A Classic Single Malt distilled in 2011 and an Avant-Garde Barley from 2013 are both bottled at 57.3%.

Look for typical lush malty notes in the Classic, underscored by baking spices, citrus fruit and fresh bread. Avant-Garde Barley matured in a Vancouver Island blackberry wine barrel, bursts with jammy fruit, toasted grain and citrus hints.

Yukon’s Two Brewers

Meanwhile, in Whitehorse, Two Brewers continue to impress with their latest whiskies including Release 10, their first cask-strength whisky to date. Bottled at 58%, its grassy notes, sweet tobacco and cereals bask in a gentle bed of Werther’s caramel.

A Pedro Ximinez finish adds sweetness and ripe fruity tones to Release 9, which is bottled at 46%.

Canadian Rockies 17 Year Old

All the excitement about the recently released Canadian Rockies 21 may have overshadowed another real gem of a whisky. Sourced from Highwood Distillers in Alberta, Canadian Rockies 17 year old is one more example of the glories of slow maturation. Canadian Rockies 17, bottled at 50% abv, delivers all the spiciness, luscious corn and crisp clean woody notes we’ve come to expect in well-aged corn whisky.

Banff Whisky Experience

On September 28 & 29, the inaugural Banff Whisky Experience will offer 15 master classes for curious drammers who want to experience new whiskies. My two classes alone include whiskies very few people will have tasted before.
