What is a Dram? by Paul Mclean – Scotch Whisky News

To the whisky world at large;

There is much speculation over the media just now;

What is a dram?

Well, angels whisky club started this conversation off last October, with this question and had replies from many in our field;

http://angelswhiskyclub.com/awc/whatisadram.asp

It’s the Speyside fest people asking now, have they jumped on our bandwagon? have they nicked our idea?

Whatever, I know we did it first, and am proud angels brought up the subject in the first place.

Whatever the outcome, there are some excellent “drams” out there!

Milroy’s of Soho Single Cask Bottling – Scotch Whisky News

Milroy’s of Soho Single Cask Bottling

Milroy’s of Soho have become famous for their single cask bottlings of rare and collectible spirits. This is thanks to a long tradition begun by brothers John and Wallace Milroy in the 1960s of travelling to Scotland, selecting choice casks from the distilleries themselves, and bottling under the Milroy’s of Soho name. We choose the casks with an aim to bottle unusual or particularly outstanding examples of single malt whisky for our discerning whisky lovers back home, and these have become rare collectibles in their own right.

Coming soon are four more exclusive bottlings of some fantastic casks we’ve been lucky enough to track down!

Islay Single Malt 2008
Zuidam Dutch Rye 2007
Millstone Dutch Single Malt 1999
Glen Elgin 1995

Stewart Buchanan joins us from the esteemed Speyside distillery of Benriach to talk us through their fascinating history and the intriguing range of single malt whiskies they produce.

As with all our Ambassador Nights the £20.00 ticket price can be redeemed against purchases made on the night.

Landing circa April 2013: email lee.tomlinson@milroys.co.uk quoting the relevant bottling to pre-register interest.
