Reminder: Boston’s First Big Whisky Event of the Year
Sets Sail in One Week.

Whisky Tasting and Dinner Cruise Aboard The Spirit of Boston
May 2nd 7:00-9:30 PM

The Whisky Guild will return for this special annual event. One week from today, we’ll embark upon a spectacular harbor cruise with a great selection of whiskies available to taste – and a buffet dinner. It is almost sold out, a night you do not want to miss. This is one of the best events to come to Boston. It promotes whisky, yet in my eyes this is an event for consumers – novice to aficionado – to not only taste and talk about malts, but to engage with ambassadors, distillers, blenders, and distillery managers. They attend not just to promote their wares, but to get the chance to hear what you are looking for. They take the input you give them very seriously, so speak up, ask questions, and get your money’s worth.

VIP access gives an extra hour to sample the offerings and more of them beginning at 6 PM. This was a great time in the past and one we’ve been anxiously anticipating all year. You’ll enjoy the opportunity to sample from more than 100 rare and exclusive whiskies, poured by distillery managers, Ambassadors and master blenders from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and Japan.

We’re extremely grateful to Whisky Guild for bringing this superlative event with a broad range of whiskies to our neighborhood. We believe that our customers in particular will appreciate and enjoy this unique event. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to be out on the water, sipping scotch, and enjoying a cigar (smoke ’em if you got ’em) on the deck of a luxury cruiser. Did you miss Whiskyfest Chicago? Whisky-Live New York? No worries, you have this- every bit as good, no, better: you’re out on the harbor.

VIP Boarding Time: 6:00pm
Boarding Time: 7:00pm
Sail Time: 7:30-9:30pm

I hope this letter finds you well; we’ve had a very momentous landmark here at Laphroaig recently – we have reached over 500,000 Friends of Laphroaig.

A special hello to Jarmo Maenpaa from Finland who is our 500,000th Friend of Laphroaig!  We started our “little” club of followers 18 years ago, with the first friends braving the weather to plant their country flags on their square foot plot of land. We certainly had no idea back then that it would embrace lovers of Laphroaig from over 180 countries around the World. We are marking this momentous occasion with a special square foot of copper, made from an old still which we replaced last year. Once laid, I will post a photo of us placing the copper plaque on the exact square foot on Facebook. It will then be engraved and placed on the wall in our new museum for all to see.

We have also used this occasion to expand the original area for plots, as we were running out of land! The last time we had to expand our space was into a wooded area, which was not ideal. So, we now have an expanded area to be used for the Friends plots, which will allow us to move some friends out of the woods, so everybody now has an accessible plot. Furthermore, it has allowed us to take exact coordinates of every single plot. This means (with the help of a hand held GPS device we have bought) that when you visit us, you will be able to stand on your exact piece of Laphroaig land and perhaps enjoy your “rent” of a dram of our finest!

If you go to our website http://laphroaig.createsend1.com/t/r-l-dkmhyy-miyuyjjhk-j/ you will be able to see the new plot area and the exact location of your plot with coordinates.

FOL 18th Birthday

I mentioned that this year is our 18th Year of Friends of Laphroaig. We are celebrating this special birthday in a way that we hope will involve all of you, I will be writing to you about this in more detail in a few weeks. In the meantime, in preparation for our birthday celebrations I’d like to ask any of you who have any photos of the distillery from over the last 18 years to send them into us at info@laphroaig.com as we want to use some of them as part of our Friends of Laphroaig display. Be sure to include your full name and plot number so we can add that too.

USA Tour

I have just returned from my tour of the USA. Over the 2 weeks I had the pleasure to meet many Friends of Laphroaig. May I take this opportunity to thank all of you for the fantastic kindness and hospitality I received everywhere I went.

Feis Ile

Many of you have been asking about this year’s Laphroaig Open Day. It is to be held on 29th May. We have a full schedule of events taking place and will be posting as much as we can on our Facebook site during the whole week. Full details of this year’s events are on the website and also on Facebook. I am afraid most of our special events are now sold out. However, some of our new expanded distillery tours will continue throughout the year, so if you are planning to come and visit us do check them out.

That’s all my news for now. I will write to you shortly concerning our special 18th Birthday competition.

Slàinte,

John Campbell
Distillery Manager, Laphroaig

Treat your Dad to the new Limited Edition Glengoyne ‘Auld Enemy Dram’ this Father’s Day (17 June 2012)

Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Whisky has launched a special limited Edition ‘Auld Enemy Dram’ in time for Father’s Day – 17th June 2012.

The Auld Enemy Dram has been launched to recognise and celebrate the great sporting rivalry that exists between the two great nations of Scotland and England.

The Glengoyne 1990 Single Cask bottling makes the ideal gift for Father’s Day with its robust nose, powerful palate.

The Auld Enemy Dram has a rich mahogany colour with a heavy and robust nose of hazelnut, prunes, cocoa powder, and liquorice with BBQ spice.

The palate is powerful with good balance of red apple, raisins, wafer cone and subtle citrus. The finish maintains strength with increased fruits and dry spice.

Retailing at just £175 per bottle (reduced from £195 for Father’s Day), The Limited Edition Glengoyne ‘Auld Enemy Dram’ is now available to buy at Vino’s Edinburgh stores and online at www.vinowines.co.uk or at www.glengonye.com

All proceeds from sales of The Limited Edition Glengoyne ‘Auld Enemy Dram’ go to support Help for Heroes* and The Bill McLaren Foundation*.

The Glengoyne Core Range

Award-winning Glengoyne is one of the leading premium malt whiskies in the world and has been distilled at Glengoyne distillery since 1833. Using methods passed down for generations, Glengoyne is made with knowledge, passion and craftsmanship, a key combination for a perfect Father’s Day gift.

Glengoyne is a subtle, complex whisky in which all of the delicate flavours are freely allowed to express themselves The full Glengoyne portfolio consists of the 10 Years Old, 12 Years Old Cask Strength, 12 Years Old at 43%, 17 Years Old, 21 Years Old and Vintage 1972 as well as other limited edition special bottlings.

Glengoyne 10 Years Old is a great introduction to this award winning range, golden in colour with a sweet nose, warming mouthfeel and a smooth and delicate palate leaving a fruity finish behind. 70cl, 40% Vol, £32.49 per bottle

For the very first time Glengoyne has used first fill bourbon wood in one of our core range, Glengoyne 12 Years Old. There is also less sherry wood as a result giving a completely different taste and nose.

The majority of the wood is USA/European refill casks, the whisky is also chill filtered. Glengoyne 12 Years Old is nothing like the cask strength, the only thing that is the same is the age statement. 70cl, 43% Vol, £37.99

The Glengoyne 17 Year Old probably the most famed of the core range has a medium golden rich appearance, a hint of Vanilla and a rich spicy oak finish. A more concentrated, equally well-balanced palate of flavours, though it still retains the same clean, delicate taste as the 10 Years Old. 70cl, 43%, Vol, £56.99 per bottle

The Glengoyne 21 Year Old has a deep copper appearance, which leaves a spicy, warm and dry finish. This Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Whisky achieves the optimum balance of flavours and the maximum benefits from specially selected 100% first fill European Oak Sherry casks. 70cl, 43% Vol, £92.99 per bottle

The Glengoyne core range is available online at www.glengoyne.com and from all good UK specialist retailers and the 10 Years Old is available from Sainsbury’s and Asda in Scotland.

The MMs adopt a new Committee and celebrate their 15th Anniversary in Scotland

It was 1997 when Johannes van den Heuvel, Craig Daniels and Louis Perlman created The Malt Maniacs, one of the first online communities of whisky anoraks which, over the last 15 years and under Johannes’ leadership, has grown beyond anyone’s initial belief. After all these years at the helm, Johannes has decided to call it a day and retire from his Maniacal status, although we dearly hope that his retirement may only be temporary.

It goes without saying that we wish Johannes well in his future, hopefully quieter endeavours.

So, just how do we think about replacing our leader and founder? After much soul searching, discussion and navel examining (well, not really) we have decided upon what most may consider the obvious choice; a Committee with nine willing volunteers, some ‘old’, some ‘new’ and some who were already there in 1997.

So we are pleased to announce our new MM Committee, the nine members in alphabetical order and their roles:

MM Social Media Maniac Benjamin Chen (Singapore)
MM Elder Statesman & Voice of Reason Craig Daniels (Australia)
MM Awards Co-ordinator Davin de Kergommeaux (Canada)
MM Events & Chief Diary Keeper Konstantin Grigoriadis (Greece)
MM Whisky Monitor Wizard Rich Howard (USA)
MM Website Editor Oliver Klimek (Germany)
MM E-Pistle Apostle Nabil Mailloux (Canada)
MM Master Maniac Serge Valentin (France)
MM Postmaster General Keith Wood (Germany)

Also in the MM news, our Charlie MacLean is starring in Ken Loach’s new movie The Angel’s Share that will be in competition in Cannes and Paul Dejong is back after a very short retirement from the Maniacs. Hurray!

Last but not least we are delighted to announce that June 2012 will see the largest ever real-life ‘in the flesh’ gathering of Malt Maniacs as no fewer than 26 (twenty six) MMs from all continents celebrate our “First 15 years” and look forward to the next 15. Where else could we possibly choose to do this but, you guessed it; Scotland!

Watch this space and in the meantime, Slàinte Mhath, Cheers, Santé, Skol, Prost!!!

ACTOR ELIJAH WOOD OF DJ WOODEN WISDOM TO PERFORM AT ‘BUSHMILLS LIVE’

Bushmills Village: 23rd April 2012: Bushmills™ Irish Whiskey has announced that globally-renowned actor Elijah Wood will perform a DJ set at ‘Bushmills Live’ – the festival of handcrafted whiskey and music taking place at the Old Bushmills Distillery on the 20th and 21st June.

He joins a bill that already features multi-platinum selling band Snow Patrol – whose fee for the festival is being donated in full to the Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast – and award winning artists Iain Archer and Foy Vance.

Wood, along with his friend Zach Cowie, will take to the stage under the name Wooden Wisdom. The duo has DJ’d at Bushmills launch events in the past, but this will be the first time that they will have performed at an event together outside of the United States.

Widely regarded as one of the most gifted actors of his generation, Wood has recently completed production for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit, where he will be reprising his role as Frodo Baggins. Wood made an indelible mark in the trilogy of films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings in the lead role of the hobbit, Frodo. Directed by Jackson, the films; The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King were all critically lauded as well as being box office record setters. In addition, Return of the King won the Academy Award* for Best Picture as well as 11 Academy Awards in all, tying Titanic for the record. Wood is also the founder of record label Simian Records.

Elijah Wood recently appeared in ‘Bushmills Since Way Back’– an initiative that celebrates the friendships of artists across the world, and works with them to produce unique content inspired by their passions.

Fans of Bushmills Irish Whiskey can win the chance to attend the festival by entering a competition on the Bushmills Facebook page – facebook.com/bushmills1608.

To stand a chance of winning they will have to submit a photo of themselves and a friend and explain why they and their friend should be in the audience for Bushmills Live.

As well as listening to great music, those fortunate to win a ticket to the festival will also have the opportunity to make their own blend of Bushmills Irish Whiskey.

Colum Egan, Master Distiller at the Old Bushmills Distillery said: “I am really looking forward to welcoming Elijah to the Old Bushmills Distillery. He is a great actor and DJ and I have already seen him perform at a fantastic Bushmills party in Los Angeles. The line up for Bushmills Live just keeps getting better and I now can’t wait for 20th June!”

To win tickets to Bushmills Live or to find out more, visit facebook.com/bushmills1608. Entry closes at 23:59 GMT on 27th April 2012. Terms and conditions apply.

This summer, Wood returns for a second season of the hit FX comedy Wilfred. He has recently wrapped production on Franck Khalfoun’s re-make of the thriller Maniac and on Stewart Harcourt’s adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, in which he plays Ben Gunn, alongside Eddie Izzard and Donald Sutherland.

What a remARKabLE collaboration!

So what’s this all about I hear you ask? Take one renowned illustrator (Peter Arkle) and one fantastic, refreshingly modern whisky (anCnoc), and mix these creative and forward thinking collaborators together and voila! A cracking new whisky with distinctively cool packaging is born.

Scottish born Peter Arkle is a modest and amiable fellow who also happens to be an internationally acclaimed and hugely prolific illustrator. Despite loving a dram this is the first whisky project he has worked on, having already worked with some of largest brands in the world. You will undoubtedly have seen his work in newspapers, magazines, advertising and now on the packaging of anCnoc single malt whisky.

anCnoc has supported the creative arts for some years, but this vibrant project is on a new scale and a bold step which will hopefully lift it to the levels of appreciation that Old Pulteney and Balblair enjoy. This is the first of three limited releases, and although no details have yet been revealed of the later bottlings Royal Mile Whiskies are proud to be the sole UK retailer of the first edition.

This is a really interesting new whisky in ways other than the packaging. That sweet and easy drinking anCnoc spirit we love has been matured entirely in sumptious sherry casks for the very first time. Traditionally anCnoc is matured in American oak, so the Spanish oak with its spice and dried fruit flavours offers a new layer on top of the usual anCnoc notes of honey, zest and orchard fruit.

The initial edition is limited to just 6000 bottles worldwide, with all UK stock being sold exclusively by www.royalmilewhiskies.com online and in our London and Edinburgh shops, as well as our Drinkmonger stores in Pitlochry and Bruntsfield. If you visit us and ask nicely, they even have a bottle open to taste in store!

Since Peter visited us on the Royal Mile and shared a dram, the whisky has been officially launched with great gusto. Hats off to Inverhouse for finding such a talented and charming man to work with, and for filling the bottles with such tasty malt. In the meantime check out both of these cool websites: www.peterarkle.com and www.ancnoc.com (Watch the promotional film…it takes 15 minutes but is well worth it!)

NEW WHISKY ARRIVALS, SPECIAL OFFERS AND FORTHCOMING LADIES ONLY WHISKY TASTING

There’s been a steady trickle of some great new whiskies arriving at Arkwrights over the last few weeks – including some very special bottlings from Douglas Laing, a selection of Carn Mor single cask bottlings, two very affordable 40 year old whiskies and one ludicrously affordable 50 year old whisky. Also for your delectation, we have the Talisker 10 year old on special offer at £22 and the Bowmore 12 year old at £23.99.

Due to a gremlin in the system, some of you (notably anyone with an AOL address) may not have received our newsletter about the forthcoming Ladies only whisky tasting with Zoran Peric of Suntory. Our apologies for this, and as we don’t want you to miss out we are including the details again on this newsletter.

You can see all the latest whiskies that have arrived in our New Products section and if you need any advice just contact us.

These sophisticated whiskies are perfect for an early summer evening and will be enjoyed by both whisky novices and more experienced whisky drinkers. Click here for full details but just to whet your appetite, as Zoran is a top mixologist you will be greeted with one of his renowned whisky cocktails before moving on to taste through 5 or 6 drams of these fragrant whiskies .

NORTH BRITISH 1961 50 YEAR OLD SINGLE GRAIN WHISKY

In our opinion, single grain whiskies should be getting more limelight. Tending to be at their best when they are older, they have a beguiling charm all of their own. Elegant yet characterful they are amazing value for money.

This Douglas Laing Director’s Cut 50 year old North British grain is a stunning example of how well priced these old grain whiskies are. Only 123 bottles came from the single 1st fill Hogshead cask that it was matured in so this is a pretty rare whisky.

Buy Online: £349.99

SPRINGBANK 1999 12 YEAR OLD SINGLE CASK SINGLE MALT WHISKY

Truly scrumptious, this Springer’s truly scrumptious – scrumptious as the breeze across the (Campbeltown) bay. Apologies for the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang style lyrics but this is one of the best Springbanks we’ve ever tasted.

The cask it came from was owned by a syndicate and we were extremely lucky to be offered some bottles so we are sharing that good fortune by letting you have a chance to own one too!

Buy Online: £55.00

MACALLAN 1965 43 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT WHISKY

After Peter MacKay from the Scottish Liqueur Centre visited us and let us try some samples from their Carn Mor single cask whisky range we just had to stock them.

The range is small but varied and you can view the bottlings we have in stock by clicking here. They are all non chill filtered and, without exception, those we tasted were top quality. This Macallan 1965 43 year old was matured in a Fino Sherry Butt and is fabulous. The presentation matches the quality of the whisky with the boxes being made from cask staves. A treat worth saving up for.
