WhiskyCast Publishes Episode #328 – Scotch Whisky News

whiskycast-ii

40 years ago, Dublin’s Bow Street Distillery closed down after nearly 200 years of producing Jameson Irish Whiskey. In 1997, what survived of the old distillery reopened as the Old Jameson Distillery, a visitors center devoted to preserving the heritage of John Jameson’s original distillery. Nearly 250,000 people visit the old distillery each year, and guide Christopher Goggins gives us a private tour in this week’s episode…complete with drams at the end!

For Scotch Lovers: Aberfeldy 21 YO Single Malt Whisky – Scotch Whisky News

78

Hello Fellow Scotch Lovers –

This email will be the last of the summer of 2011, as I head off to Maine next week for two weeks of rest and relaxation. But before I left I wanted to send off one last email to you…and so with very few new or exciting whiskies debuting in the summer, I rang up our friend Nicky “The Neck”, and challenged him to find a spectacular deal for you.

Well, The Neck came though as he always does, and so it is with great excitment that I am able to offer you this summers last Whisky Wednesday special: Aberfeldy 21YO Single Malt Whisky.

Built by the Dewar family in 1898 on the edge of Highland Perthshire, Aberfeldy Distillery produces a fine and sophisticated Highland single malt Scotch whisky. Reserved for years as the heart of DEWAR’S blends, limited quantities of Aberfeldy single malt whisky are now available. Launched in October of 2005, Aberfeldy 21 is the core of the Aberfeldy range and is something of a flagship for the brand.

The whisky is described by the folks at Aberfeldy distillery as a “deep golden whisky with a pleasing heathery honey aroma and a full flavour with touches of Seville oranges, which linger on the tongue.” This bottling was heralded as the Best Mainland Single Malt at the World Whisky Awards 2007.

Our regular retail price is $179.61 for a botttle, but thanks to Nicky-The-Neck, and his powers of pricing persuasion, We’re able to offer you Aberfeldy 21 YO for the amazing price of $147.95.

I hope you will take advantage of this great offer, and will enjoy the rest of your summer. I’ll be back in touch with more exciting whisky news in early September.

A trip to Pulteney

Leg 2 of my Inver House distilleries tour started off with a bit of a drive. Our departure point was Edderton, home of Balblair, and our destination was Wick, site of the Pulteney distillery.
