April Top-ups: Twenty Somethings
Mouth-watering TWENTY Somethings waiting for YOU now…
1.168 Delightfully dulcet deliciosity
28YO Speyside Spey, £86.60
The palate was a delightfully dulcet deliciosity with wow-ously warming woody spices – we tasted dried cranberries, peach stone, roast pumpkin, irn-bru, carrot cake and teasingly tannic after-tingles of walnut, leather and wood. More
4.171 Perfumed and Sultry
21YO, Highland Island, £80.10
I’ve been transported to an Irish lochside’ one panellist exclaimed! Pebbles, rocks covered in dry seaweed, a fresh rural breeze and hay bails presented themselves on the nose, alongside black pepper, damp young wood and custard creams. More
26.92 Hard glazed pretzel sticks
28YO, Highland Northern, £91.90
This engaging sample from the distillery situated in Brora, tastes sweet like a bacon breakfast cake with maple syrup but at the same time salty like a Salzstange. More
31.26 BBQ smoke by a rolling sea
24YO, Highland Island, £70.70
Our noses picked up the sea in droplets of spray, mixed seafood barbecues and beach clean-up bonfires. We also found mineral notes (slate, plaster, Plasticine) butterscotch, aniseed, salted crisps and cooked buttery pastry. More
29.121 Seafood party on the beach
20YO, Islay
The initial nose gave coal sacks, beach barbecue wood smoke, ash, Germolene, raisins, toffee and toasted nuts – before turning Oriental (curry plant leaves, lemongrass, coconut, cinnamon). More

Cask #1
The first cask from when Bruichladdich re-opened
£250.00
Just before Easter we took in a special bottle which has been selling very well to the wise collectors, we thought we should share it with our customers to give you the option to secure one before it’s too late.
Only 250 bottles are available for sale and only from Loch Fyne Whiskies on behalf of Mark and son Ruari Reynier.
Mark is the white knight who is credited with salvaging Bruichladdich Distillery in 2001 and also of revolutionising the marketing of single malt Scotch.
Since Bruichladdich changed hands last Autumn Mark is no longer with the distillery so this bottle marks the beginning – and the end – of an era.
No Bruichladdich collection is complete without a “Wee Ruari.”

Savour The New Glengoyne and Chocolate Tasting Tour
They say a balanced diet is a chocolate in each hand, but here at Glengoyne we prefer a chocolate in one and a dram in the other. So we’re delighted to announce our new ‘dram fine’ interactive Chocolate and Whisky-tasting Tour, in partnership with Glasgow-based chocolatier, Nucoco.
The new Tour offers visitors a chocolate and whisky tasting experience designed specifically to complement our flavour profiles. The matching session will pair the Glengoyne 10 yo with a smooth Nucoco milk chocolate and tablet delight and a hand-crafted 54% dark chocolate with cranberry, whilst in order to go toe to toe with the dried fruit and rich, spicy oak flavours of the Glengoyne 21 yo Nucoco has created a 54% dark chocolate with ginger and a 70% dark chocolate with pistachio. Also included in the new Experience is a tour of the Distillery and a welcome dram of Glengoyne 12 yo.
As well as being part of the new tour at the Distillery, Nucoco chocolates will also be available to purchase at the Distillery shop and online with suggested whisky matches.
It’s no wonder Glengoyne and Nucoco is a perfect partnership – we both believe in offering a premium product that has been produced through investment of time and infinite care.
Whilst Glengoyne whisky is handcrafted using air-dried barley and oak sherry casks, which are seasoned for six years, Nucoco chocolate is produced from the finest cocoa beans from Asia, Africa and America – all of which combines to produce whisky and chocolate worth savouring.
The Tour costs £20 per person and runs every hour between 10am-4pm. Treat yourself and a chocolate lover to the Tour by calling +44.136.0550.254.
Finally the second E-pistle of the year has just been published. It is by Nabil and tells the story of the new Spirits of Kingston Whisky Festival in Ontario.
Whisky Ramblings Via Video #43
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a triple distilled whisky from the unfortunately lost distillery near Falkirk in the Lowlands, the Rosebank 12 Year Old. Enjoy!
Tasting Notes: Longrow Rundlets and Kilderkins
One of our favourite bottlings last year was the now sold out Springbank Rundlets & Kilderkins. It reignited my love of Springbank’s whiskies, after a while of trying to remember what it was I used to like about them, and … Continue reading >>
The Final Choice – 250/9 bottling
Between 2005 and 2007, Glengoyne released the landmark series of CHOICE single cask bottles. Having long benefited from the collective experience of the men who make it, we took the decision to let them loose in the warehouses, with the simple instruction to “hunt down your favourite cask”. It was arduous work. Armed only with a head torch and a cracked tumbler, these nine brave men relentlessly opened and evaluated thousands of barrels, butts and hoggies, eventually emerging in ones and twos, blinking into the sunlight. The result was a range of award-winning Single Cask whiskies, which showcased our full range of flavours in an exemplary fashion.
On 12th January 2012, nine of our Distillery workers – Duncan McNicoll, Ewan Hendry, Ronnie Palmer, Jim Leslie, Charlie Murray, Peter Andrew, Robbie Hughes, Billy Edmiston and Deek Morrison – celebrated a combined 250 years service to the whisky industry. To commemorate this milestone, they have put together this unique dram, The Final Choice 250/9 bottling – containing casks whose combined ages total 250 years. The first nine bottles will be presented to our boys, as a liquid long service medal, with the remaining 241 available for sale at the Glengoyne Distillery shop and online. A fine dram indeed.
This very special bottling will be available for the first time in May.
