Compass Box “No Name” Blended Malt Scotch Whisky at K&L California – Scotch Whisky News

1331128x

Compass Box “No Name” Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) (Elsewhere $170)

$139.99

SKU #1331128

In late 2017, Compass Box released this outstanding limited-edition whisky called “No Name,” a blend of 75.5% Ardbeg, 10.6% Caol Ila, and 13.4% Clynelish with an additional 0.5% French oak-aged Highland malt for extra flavor. We sold through our allocation in a flash, even with the “one bottle limit per customer” dictate slowing things down in the sales queue. Now that the fervor of the Christmas shopping season is over, we managed to consolidate a large chunk of what was left in the States and get it all delivered to K&L. That means no bottle limits, no restrictions, and no risk of running out anytime soon. If you were a fan of the “Flaming Heart” or the “Peat Monster,” this is sort of like a combination of the two. You get the clean, focused, highly peated intensity of Ardbeg, tempered ever so slightly by the roundness of Caol Ila and the oiliness of Clynelish

Whiskybase.com celebrates 1 Million whisky ratings – Whisky News

Whiskybase.com celebrates 1 Million whisky ratings

The leading whisky platform and community site hits 1 million whisky ratings. 

Netherlands: Sunday the 8th of April, Whiskybase.com, the leading whisky platform and community site, celebrates reaching 1 million whisky ratings. Whiskybase, which started as a website to keep track of whisky bottle information, has grown into the leading platform for information about whisky releases and ratings.

Menno Bijmolt, the founder of Whiskybase, on this milestone: “When starting the website, it was primarily just to keep track of whiskies I tasted and share this with other whisky drinkers. I couldn’t have imagined that so many people would be using the website and that we would gather 1 million ratings. Recently, we hit 100.000 unique bottles in Whiskybase and now we have 1 million ratings, it still feels unreal.”

There are some new exciting developments coming up that will make Whiskybase accessible for people who prefer to read in their own language. As people increasingly rely on these tasting notes for their whisky purchases, it goes without saying we will continue to focus on the quality of the information given by our members.

WB placeit

In the near future Whiskybase will offer automatically translated tasting notes using Artificial Inteligence technology and a guide that will help new whisky enthusiasts to leave proper ratings and tasting notes.

About Whiskybase: Whiskybase is a Dutch-based company consisting of an online and an a in Rotterdam; an event company that hosts a wide range of activities, including the yearly Whiskybase Gathering in Rotterdam; Archives, our independent bottler brand; and whiskybase.com, the leading whisky information website.

What’s happening at The Glenrothes Distillery? – Scotch Whisky News

TGR1

Honouring the Tweedie Brothers

Families have always been a part of The Glenrothes Distillery. Over the years our team has included plenty of people who share both a passion for whisky and a close family connection. Perhaps, that’s because the art of whisky making runs in the blood.

This month, we pay tribute to the Tweedie brothers.  Between them, Gordon and Alexander Tweedie have given over 40 years of service to The Glenrothes whisky. Gordon Tweedie, who has been with The Glenrothes Engineering Team since 1990, is retiring this April. His brother Alexander Tweedie was Distillery Manager and part of The Glenrothes Production management team from 1991 to 2000 and retired last year. Since retiring, he has recently been back at the distillery hosting our special guests.

We would like to wish the Tweedie brothers health, happiness and plenty of fine Glenrothes single malt in this new stage of their lives.

The Brothers in Wood: 

two very special single-cask releases

The story of the Tweedie brothers got us thinking about the relationship between every cask and the whisky inside. Despite sharing the same essential ingredients of water, spirit, wood and time, the whisky that emerges from two twin casks can often have a very different character.
In 1976 we filled two identical Bourbon hogshead casks on the same day with the same spirit. The two casks sat next to each other in the Glenrothes warehouse for 39 years until Gordon Motion, Master Whisky Maker at The Glenrothes, deemed them to be at their optimum moment of excellence, he sampled each of them and, to his surprise, found two single malts with very distinct characters.

They were bottled and are now ready for release. We’ll soon be offering these Brothers in Wood to our Glenrothes insiders.

Stay tuned for more information and for a rare chance to visit our distillery in person.
