May 4th, 2020

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 308: Tormore 24 Year Old 1992 WhiskyBroker for Van Zuylen

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky vlogger, tries a Tormore. Tormore is a distillery that does not appear on Mark’s radar often, but thanks to a friend in Holland he was able to get his hands on a beautiful 24 years old that was bottled especially for Van Zuylen – a well-known whisky shop near The Hague. And what a lovely Tormore it turned out to be. Almost as lovely as the classified building of the distillery itself!

This initiative represents the spirit of Beam Suntory’s corporate social responsibility efforts, whose mission of ‘Growing for Good’ includes sustainability and supporting local communities.

With the lockdown of restaurants and bars across India to maintain social distancing, several thousand members of the hospitality community have been affected financially. Beam Suntory India is partnering with the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), the largest restaurant body in the country, to pledge a support of ~150,000 USD which will be used to provide relief to thousands of staff of member restaurants and their families at this period of the lockdown.

As a world leader in premium spirits, on-premise outlets play an important role in Beam Suntory’s business in India. The company is committed to supporting bartenders and other frontline members of the F&B community in this difficult time.

To make the learning experience rewarding, The Blend will host online programs every day, spread across 50 sessions, with prizes for the participants.

Talking about the initiative, Neeraj Kumar, Managing Director, Beam Suntory India, said, “The global pandemic has threatened the survival of many businesses, especially the F&B industry, at a time when it was emerging strongly in India. Although we are confident that the industry will rebuild and continue to thrive after this crisis, the current economic anxiety is spilling over to thousands of dedicated professionals who have passionately supported the industry with their talent. Through these initiatives, we want to give back to our partners in the F&B community. They are our greatest champions and we want to support them in these difficult times. These initiatives are central to our business and fundamental to our ‘Growing for Good’ values.”

Anurag Katriar, President – NRAI; CEO & Executive Director – deGustibus Hospitality Pvt Ltd., said, “At the outset, a big Thank You to Beam Suntory India for their thoughtful gesture towards our Industry when we are going through some very trying times. It is extremely reassuring and encouraging to receive support from your partners in these difficult times. This gesture will further cement the relationship between the F&B Fraternity and Beam Suntory. This corpus will enable NRAI to extend helping hand to its members and their employees in times of such unprecedented crisis. I truly appreciate this kind gesture by Beam Suntory India.”

Malt Messenger Bulletin by Andrew Ferguson – We have a New Laddie Cask! – Scotch Whisky News

May 2nd, 2020

Malt Messenger Bulletin

We Have a New KWM Laddie Cask & It Will Be Gone in a Flash!

It has been a while since we’ve sent out a Malt Messenger Bulletin all on its own. It is a shorter newsletter that I reserve for special occasions or when there is whisky news that just can’t wait for the next full edition. This time it is both.

If you follow us on Social Media, or are one of those customers who frequently mine the website looking for new whiskies, then you might already be aware that we have just received a new cask of Bruichladdich. Our second ever cask of Bruichladdich arrived in-store on Wednesday. In just 3 days 2/3 of the 240 bottles have already sold. It is possible the remaining bottles will not last until the end of the weekend. Hence the haste in putting out a Malt Messenger. More details and my tasting note on this lovely new whisky can be found below.

I hope this Malt Messenger Bulletin finds you well, and in time to grab a bottle of the Bruichladdich before it sells out. If not, there will always be another whisky. We are expecting our 2nd edition of the Glenfarclas 15 Year KWM Cask Strength later this month!

Sincerely,

Andrew Ferguson
Kensington Wine Market

It is over 2/3 sold in 3 days! – Limit of 2 bottles per customer!

Bruichladdich 2007 KWM Bourbon Cask 336 – 58.6% – 12 Year – Fresh Bourbon Barrel – My Tasting Note: “Nose: creamy, honeyed and malty with loads of fruit and a gentle salty maritime flourish; juicy and toasty with soft decadent oak spices; Starburst fruit candies and French vanilla ice cream; the barley lends the nose a soft minerality. Palate: silky to start with loads of honey, more French vanilla and then a bold surge of juicy fruits and crisp barley; the salty maritime tones arrive later with decadent spices; thick and oily; more Starburst fruit candies, honeydew melon, bitter orange and singed lemon peel; candied ginger, cinnamon sticks and licorice root; later allspice; toasty and nutty; once again the barley shines through. Finish: long, fresh, coating and creamy; decadent vanilla, juicy fruits and crisp spice. Comment: thick, creamy and toasty with loads of fruit, barley and a touch of crisp Islay air; young and Fresh without a rough edges and a complexity beyond what you expect for just a dozen years in the cask; this is a naked Laddie, clean and elegant!” – $135 – Limit 2 bottles per customer!

THE SECRET SPEYSIDE COLLECTION IS LAUNCHED, FEATURING FIFTEEN RARE SINGLE MALTS FROM SOUGHT-AFTER DISTILLERIES – Scotch Whisky News

May 2nd, 2020

THE SECRET SPEYSIDE COLLECTION IS LAUNCHED, FEATURING FIFTEEN RARE SINGLE MALTS FROM SOUGHT-AFTER DISTILLERIES

(Whisky Intelligence is publishing this old press release some time after the initial release)….Chivas Brothers is today releasing its biggest Single Malt collection to date, with the launch of fifteen aged Single Malt Scotch whiskies from four seldom-seen, yet highly sought-after Speyside, Scotland distilleries.

The Secret Speyside Collection is a carefully curated selection of 18-30 year old whiskies that herald from four of Speyside’s most elusive distilleries. Each has its own rich and unique history for Single Malt fans to discover, including the vanished distillery of Caperdonich, the pioneering Longmorn distillery, the landmark Glen Keith distillery, and the remote Braes of Glenlivet distillery.

The desirable fifteen-bottle collection consists of three rare Single Malts from each of Glen Keith, Longmorn and Braes of Glenlivet, together with three peated and three unpeated expressions from Caperdonich, which distilled its final Single Malt in 2002, before closing its doors and finally being taken down brick by brick in 2011.

The Secret Speyside Collection is the first of its kind from Pernod Ricard-owned Chivas Brothers and will offer Single Malt connoisseurs the chance to uncover, sample and collect some of the hidden malts at the heart of the iconic Speyside region that have rarely been made available in the past.

Alan Winchester, a Chivas Brothers Scotch whisky icon with over 30 years of Speyside distilling experience, commented:

“With centuries of rich whisky heritage against a jaw-dropping Scottish landscape, Speyside is the treasure chest of Scotch and brimming with untold stories. Curating the Collection has been a labour of love for the Chivas Brothers team; its contents have been hand-selected to help shine a light on some seldom-seen distilleries, their rare malts, and unique histories. Any whisky connoisseur will find something new in this world-class selection, which demonstrates the breadth of flavour and character that Speyside distilleries can achieve.”

The Secret Speyside Collection will launch from July as a Global Travel Retail exclusive for one year, before rolling out into selected markets globally from summer 2020.

Uncover the distilleries of the Secret Speyside Collection

Caperdonich – A Vanished Distillery

Once gone, there will never be another. This collection contains the only available Single Malts from this distillery, which was taken down brick by brick in 2011. The whiskies released from this ‘vanished distillery’ of Speyside offer a rare opportunity to discover and compare peated and unpeated expressions of the same age (21 and 25 year old), from the same distillery.

The unpeated spirit is full of ripe orchard fruits that give Caperdonich’s sweet single malt a complex body and long smooth finish. When gently peated, an untraditional process for a Speyside Single Malt, a sophisticated smokiness adds an extra element and depth of flavour

There will be six whiskies released from Caperdonich, with half being peated whiskies and the other half unpeated. The peated selection includes an 18 year old (48% ABV), a 21 year old (48% ABV) and a cask strength 25 year old whisky. The unpeated whiskies are a 21 year old 48% ABV) 25 year old (48% ABV), and a cask strength 30 year old. The peated 25 year old and non-peated 30 year old will be released in October 2019.

Longmorn – The Pioneering Distillery

Blending unique insights in technology and craft, Longmorn was designed by founder John Duff in 1894 to create a whisky of outstanding quality. Duff even built a railway station next to the distillery to facilitate supplies getting to the distillery and speed up the finished product getting into the hands of whisky lovers. One of Scotland’s best kept secrets, Longmorn has long been considered world class by distillers, blenders and connoisseurs, often referred to as ‘every distiller’s favourite apart from their own.’

The three whiskies from Longmorn in this collection are an 18 year old (48% ABV), 23 year old (48% ABV) and a cask strength 25 year old, with each bringing a more intense take on the soft, creamy toffee and rich flavour profile that is highly regarded by distillers and industry experts worldwide.

Glen Keith – The Landmark Distillery

Glen Keith was the first Speyside distillery built in the 20^th century. The distillery rose from the ruins of an old mill on the banks of the River Isla, famed for its pure water and leaping wild salmon. This collection marks the first official* age-statement release this century from the landmark distillery.

The three whiskies from Glen Keith in this collection are a 21 year old, 25 year old and a 28 year old (all 43% ABV). Each is exceptionally smooth as Glen Keith’s pot stills are taller than most, giving an extra ‘copper kiss’ to the single malt and resulting in a complex, intensely smooth example of the classic Speyside style, bursting with juicy summer fruit notes.

Braes of Glenlivet – The Remote Distillery

This is the first official bottling* from one of the highest distilleries in Speyside. In years past, when the snow fell, it settled on the hills of Braes of Glenlivet first. The remote distillery was watched over by a lone keeper at night and was truly at the mercy of the uncompromising Scottish elements.

The three whiskies from Braes of Glenlivet in this collection are a 25 year old (48% ABV), 27 year old (48% ABV) and a cask strength 30 year old. Made using the purest water from the Preenie Well, 2 miles deep in the Braes hills, the resulting whisky is smooth, balanced and packed with tropical fruits.

CHIVAS BROTHERS RAMPS UP PRODUCTION OF HAND SANITISER FOR THE NHS

May 2nd, 2020

CHIVAS BROTHERS RAMPS UP PRODUCTION OF HAND SANITISER FOR THE NHS

TODAY, CHIVAS BROTHERS, THE SCOTCH WHISKY BUSINESS OF PERNOD RICARD, BEGAN THE TRANSPORTATION OF TWO TANKERS OF STRATHCLYDE GRAIN SPIRIT AS PART OF AN INITIAL DONATION OF 100,000 LITRES OF PURE ALCOHOL TO MANUFACTURING PARTNERS WHO WILL USE IT TO PRODUCE 120,000 LITRES OF MUCH-NEEDED HAND SANITISER GEL FOR FRONTLINE NHS STAFF BATTLING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ACROSS SCOTLAND, ENGLAND AND WALES.

Also today (Mar 9th), the company received a consignment of 4,000 litres of hand sanitiser gel ready to be packaged at its bottling plant in Kilmalid, Dumbarton. This delivery will be joined next week by a further 15,000 litres of hand sanitiser gel produced at Pernod Ricard’s Plymouth Gin distillery in England. After packaging, the hand sanitiser will be distributed to frontline healthcare workers across Scotland and to communities in the Dumbarton area.

Chivas Brothers will start packaging hand sanitiser tomorrow, starting with 1,000 litres per day and monitoring needs over the coming weeks.

Chivas Brothers CEO Jean-Christophe Coutures commented:

“Combatting COVID-19 requires a collective effort from everyone. We’re fortunate to have ready access to ethanol and state-of-the-art facilities, so we are determined to do all we can to help increase the production of hand sanitiser, which is so essential in preventing the spread of the virus. We are proud to be joining our fellow distillers across the industry and the wider Pernod Ricard group in this battle and will continue to look for ways to assist wherever it is needed.”

Business-wide effort

In addition to hand sanitiser production, Chivas Brothers has announced in recent weeks the introduction of a number of initiatives to support communities both on home soil and in international markets that continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chivas Brothers has reorganised its internal reward scheme so that when employee efforts are recognised, rewards can be donated to the National Emergencies Trust’s Coronavirus appeal, that the company will then double-up. The company is also making regular lump-sum contributions on behalf of all employees to NHS Charities Together, to support NHS staff and volunteers caring for COVID-19 patients during the crisis.

In addition, Chivas Brothers has accelerated its support of its 2020 Charity of the Year, MND Scotland, with a donation of £26,000, meeting its total £50,000 fundraising target nine months ahead of schedule. It has committed to continue fundraising efforts when possible and extend them throughout 2021.

With Blended Scotch Whisky Chivas’ global social enterprise competition curtailed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the $1 million prize fund of the Chivas Venture 2020 was distributed equally amongst the 26 finalists of this year’s competition – so that the funding can be put towards helping solve social, environmental and economic challenges and creating positive impact in a testing time for people across the globe.

Additionally, Blended Scotch Whisky Ballantine’s pledged its support for music communities worldwide at a time when COVID-19 restrictions are impacting their ability to do what they love and to make a living. The initiative, the first in a number planned for the coming months, sees grants distributed to community-driven music collectives around the world who will be taking part in Boiler Room’s recently announced ‘Streaming from Isolation’ programme.
