ANGELS WHISKY CLUB & MCLEANSCOTLAND sample a unique dram…
MEN O’QUAICH Caperdonich 1974 Many thanks to our Russian Ambassador Tim, for presenting us with this unique bottling.
A Duncan Taylor dram, distilled in 1972 at the now demolished distillery in Rothes. This rare whisky was bottled in March 2011 after 3 months finishing in fresh sherry octave cask, in its natural colour, unchilfiltered. We have bottle number 4 of a limited run of only 67. Can I just say this is a superb dram and I thanks Tim very much. This one is the first in a collection we are told. Men O’Quaich are a group of friends living in Russia. The cask was selected by The Whisky Man.
PRESS RELEASE; Caperdonich 1972/2011 (48.3%, Men O’Quaich Collection, Duncan Taylor, cask number; 417407, limited to 67 bottles). A group of Russian friends (two are members of Angels whisky club, one a very good friend of ours) have selected this, it’s actually a superb dram, and I am thinking; “should I drink this or should I have kept it for a collection?” Oh well, it’s open now and very tasty it is. I have my very good friend (Russian Ambassador to Angels) Tim to thank for the bottle. PAUL MCLEAN
In August we (Liz and Paul) will be meeting up with Tim again and several friends in Huntly at the end of another whisky tour. We believe that there will be a series of the Men O’ Quaich bottlings and aye, I do have the second one; Glen Grant 1974, another from DT, cask 411658, limited to 71 bottles, I have number 12 courtesy of Tim once again. Ah you ask; has he opened this one? Answer is NO, no yet anyhow. This one is a 36 year old single malt, distilled 1974, bottled May 2011 after 5 months finish in a sherry octave cask. Unchilfiltered. 50.7% volume. No added colouring. A selection by The Whisky Man. How long can it remain in the bottle is the big question.
