1927 Project Ardnamurchan

THE VIDEO

The 1927 Project is a rather amazing selection of distilleries who have agreed to help recreate whisky production that took place through the 1920’s and into early 1931. Those six distilleries are amongst some of the best, and finest distilleries whose whiskies are sought after world wide. Those distilleries are: Ardnamurchan, Dornoch, Holyrood, Daftmill, Lochlea and InchDairnie.

There is a seventh bottle in this collection, but that’s a fun surprise for the end of the series. Bottle #1 is from Ardnamurchan.

New make produced from 100% Chevallier heritage barley, fermented for 68 hours using Nottingham and Windsor Ale yeasts. Chevallier is difficult to grown in Scotland due to the height it grows too. Too much wind on the coasts would cause it to fall over and not yield a great result for the final product. Ardnamurchan produces a new make style that is heavy and oily but it’s a clean new make.

The run was done in two batches because the wash still steam coils were coated in residue, more so than normal for a distillation at Ardnamurchan. Please do check out the link to see the full interview with Ardnamurchan, hosted by Dave Broom and Alan Winchester.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 591: Knockando 12 Year Old

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries an elusive (?) Speysider. He has only tasted 4 Knockando so far, and the last one was back in 2021! This distillery, founded in 1898 and owned by Justerini & Brooks, is located in the heart of Speyside, in the village of the same name. Mark actually passed by there in September 2023. But this bottle was on an irresistible offer in his local supermarket: buy 1, get 1 free. So, two came home with him for a mere 40 EUR (for both!). That’s cheaper than two bottles of Johnnie Walker Red Label.

Russell’s 10YO Reserve Bourbon, 45%

https://youtu.be/lg5du679jno

I was so disappointed by the fact it took me so long to discover the joy of this bottle of bourbon. As a Wild Turkey fan, this is a shambles on my part. First launched in 1998 to celebrate Jimmy Russell’s 45th anniversary in the bourbon business, some more regular releases were then rolled out post-2000. In 2001 we saw a 10YO Russell’s bottled at 101 proof, and then in 2005 we got this, the 10 Year Old at 90 proof. An absolute diamond from the Russell family, and a true definition of their lineage and time spent in the business. A classic recipe of 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malted barley, this bourbon is a dream for the drinker who wants sweet richness, with some earthier power to help contrast that. Layered with caramel blackberries, powdered sugar and almonds on the nose, then a huge warmth of rolling spice across the palate as the ABV, rye and barley start to make their presence felt. Wild Turkey and the Russell family go hand in hand, and if you are yet to try this then make it a must. You will not be disappointed and will constantly chase down more and more versions of it. #whisky #whiskey #bourbon #wildturkey #russells
