The Gauldrons unveils first Limited Edition Release –

The Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish

Leading distiller, blender and bottler, Douglas Laing & Co, today announce the first ever Limited Edition under their award-winning Campbeltown Malt Scotch Whisky brand: The Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish.

Joining the core expression which launched in 2017, The Gauldrons Sherry Edition is strictly limited to no more than 2,125 bottles. A marriage of Single Cask Single Malts exclusively from Campbeltown, the Blended Malt enjoyed a finishing period in specially selected Spanish Sherry Casks. Such is the philosophy of the Douglas Laing family business, the small batch bottling is offered at a high alcohol strength of 46.2% and is without colouring or chill-filtration.

The Gauldrons, inspired by the eponymous dark sandy coves on Campbeltown’s west shores, literally means “bay of storms”. It was here King Robert the Bruce, having been defeated by his enemies, was inspired watching a spider building his web with great patience but great difficulty, to try, try and try again. The spider has become synonymous with the core The Gauldrons expression, featuring too on this new limited edition.

Packaged in a sleek black bottle, red colourways bring to life the Sherry cask maturation, hinting at the rich character of the Scotch Whisky inside. Gold foil detail and a mini booklet, placed around the bottle neck, complete the product’s premium packaging.

Commenting on the new release, Cara Laing, Marketing Director, said: “We’re thrilled to launch the first ever Limited Edition for The Gauldrons. The classic Gauldrons spirit is always a standout dram for us, earning rave reviews from the industry and delighting consumers at events the world over. Experimenting with these exceptional-quality Sherry casks has resulted in a classically Campbeltown dram with smoky sweetness balanced by rich spices, and we truly can’t wait to share it with whisky aficionados across the globe.”

The Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish will be available from specialist spirits retailers and online from late April 2022. It is expected to retail at £60.00. 

Tasting notes    

A remarkably sweet nose with toffee apples, marshmallows, caramelised sugar and candyfloss.  The palate delivers crème brûlée, evolving to ginger, nutmeg and red apple with lingering smoked barley. A sharp finish with tangy orange sweets, stewed red fruits and black pepper covered strawberries

THE OXFORD ARTISAN DISTILLERY’S CRAFTY LITTLE LOTTERY

Oxford, 27^th April, 2022 – The Oxford Artisan Distillery’s latest whisky release, Crafty Little Rye, will be exclusively made available from the distillery’s on-site shop and through an online ballot from the 29^th April.

Batch #6 of Oxford Rye Whisky uses the house mash bill of 90% maslin (a mix of 70% rye and 20% wheat from populations grown together in the same field) and 10% heritage malted barley, the grain is flattened and the resulting course flakes are made up in to a thick porridge. Fermentation for this batch took place over six days in the distillery’s bespoke 5000L Hungarian Oak vats, using their own in-house fermenting culture.

The resulting new make was matured in Cask #42, a lightly charred new American Oak cask, for two years and one month, which gave the new make its classic house profile. The whisky was then transferred and finished in a Vintage Port cask, #271, for one year and two months. Having spent many years in production the Port cask brings the very best characteristics of Portugal’s Douro wine valley to the Thames valley, and the character of Oxford’s only Rye Whisky.

Master Distiller, Francisco Rosa, who is forever experimenting and tinkering in his lab, is driven by creating experiences. Rosa says: “Flavour is one of the best ways to take us into a story of time and place told with the help of our memories, and whisky is one of the best ways to do this.”

When evaluating Cask #271, Rosa felt this parcel of whisky was at its prime and should be bottled in its own right. Rosa comments: “The Port cask came from a top producer in the Douro valley, used in champagne for ten years before being used for Vintage Port for another 15 years, so this is a classic French barrique which was freshly emptied straight before coming to us in Oxford.” 

“Using virgin American Oak and an extremely good quality vintage Port cask, we have preserved both the structure and balance of our Oxford rye house character and the nuanced influence of Portugal’s famed fortified wine.”

Crafty Little Rye opens with a bright fruity aroma of berries and banana. Nutty and chocolate-y with leather and tobacco deep in its roots with a touch of spearmint and smoke. Then, cherry clafoutis with Ferrero Rocher. Finishing with refreshing peppermint and warming peppercorn, wrapped up in strawberry yogurt.

Priced at £25.00 and presented in a 20cl glass flask to improve the accessibility of The Oxford Artisan Distillery’s more premium expressions, Crafty Little Rye is bottled at 45.2% ABV. 100 bottles will be made available via an online ballot from 10am on 29^th April through the distillery’s website: www.theoxfordartisandistillery.com/craftylittlelottery . The remaining bottles will be on sale from the distillery’s on-site shop in Oxford.

The Oxford Artisan Distillery:

The distillery opened for business at its purpose-built site in Oxford on 27th July 2017.

It is Oxford’s first ever distillery and produces a range of spirits, including gin, absinthe, vodka and whisky, all with total provenance from grain to glass. The Oxford Artisan Distillery is rare amongst UK distilleries in producing its own spirit, rather than purchasing Grain Neutral Spirit (GNS) from other sources.

The distillery has a licence to produce spirits for the University of Oxford and has a notable partnership with the University of Oxford’s Botanic Garden.

About Heritage Grain:

The Oxford Artisan Distillery is the only distillery to use genetically diverse populations of heritage grains – revived from historical sources by a leading archaeo-botanist and grown sustainably on over 350 acres, known as land races, both close to Oxford and on prestigious estates such as Highgrove and Sandringham. The distillery’s grain contributes to biodiversity and soil health in the English countryside. The grains are the result of John Lett’s lifelong research on heritage grains: John has spent a large part of his life sourcing and growing heritage grains together, as polycultures. John takes 30-100 varieties of grain, mixes them up, and grows them together in the same field, at the same time. These sustainable fields are similar to what you would have seen in medieval times – the grains are grown specifically for the distillery, making The Oxford Artisan Distillery the only distillery in the world with a license to use John’s grains, grown exclusively for flavour and not yield.

A Sublime Rarity from a Beloved Speyside Standout
2007 Mortlach 15 Year Old “Old Particular” K&L Exclusive Single Hogshead Cask Strength Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) (Pre-Arrival) ($109.99)
“A fabulous, contemplative whisky and a thrilling contrast to the vibrant, fruity, mid-aged Highlanders we’re bringing in this year.” — David Othenin-Girard, K&L Spirits Buyer

Fresh off their latest pilgrimage to the old country (i.e. Scotland), the spirits team is feeling inspired, and their latest haul is full of can’t-miss treasures that will have any Scotch collector beside themselves with joy. Today we’ve got a sublime, aged Speyside specimen from a distillery that we rarely see bottled as a single-malt and almost never see with this kind of age on it. The Mortlach 15 Year Old K&L Exclusive Cask from our friends at Old Particular is one for the thinkers and the patient drinkers among our Scotch fans. Mortlach’s well-earned reputation as one of the more brooding, dark-hearted malts out there is on full display in this bruiser. Spirits buyer Andrew Whiteley sums it up nicely when he observes, “You’ve got to want it, to take the time to coax it out.” Aeration, water, and a great deal of waiting bring out a spectacularly weighty and wide-ranging profile that pays full respects to the quintessential character of the Beast of Dufftown. It’s a stirring and serious dram that will require something of you, but the rewards are very much worth the effort, and then some.

2007 Mortlach 15 Year Old “Old Particular” K&L Exclusive Single Hogshead Cask Strength Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) (Pre-Arrival) ($109.99)

K&L Notes: The Mortlach distillery is one of Scotland’s very best. Located in the heart of Speyside, this special distillery is very rarely found as a single malt. The little valley at the southern edge of Dufftown has been the location of a licensed distillery since 1823, but it was most likely the site of illicit distillation long before that. It was Dufftown’s first legal distillery after excise reform and would anchor the town as one of Scotland’s most important distilling communities. The spirit was prized from the very beginning and was purchased by John Walker & Sons exactly 100 years after its founding. It remains a core element in the entire Johnnie Walker line, but the distillery did not get a widespread single-malt expression until 2014, when two NAS expressions and two expensive, age-stated offerings were released. They’ve since retooled the distillery line, and it remains one of Diageo’s most well-regarded offerings despite recent price increases. This little cask represents a continuation of stocks that we’ve bought several times over the years starting in 2014, now with significantly more age. At 15 years, we’re starting to see the malt’s more mature characteristics take shape, which is particularly interesting without a huge amount of oak or sherry to obscure the character.

Andrew Whiteley | K&L Spirits Buyer | Review Date: October 13, 2021

It’s not often we get a ‘naked’ Mortlach. It smells dense, if that’s a thing. It’s a bit cliché to say Mortlach is brooding, but there it sits, just all packed tight into the glass. You’ve got to want it, to take the time to coax it out. It’s not a particularly meaty expression at first nosing, very unlike the recent Sovereign 10-year bottling we had in stock briefly. There is a bit of zesty citrus fruit on the nose buried under a layer of dew-soaked grass. It conjures an ocean breeze on a foggy morning when you add some water. The palate is very full and mouth-coating, almost a touch waxy. There is a stony, crushed rock component. Over time, richer flavors of cocoa and fatty pork belly begin to come through. The morning dew on the grass dries off into a much more complex bouquet of thyme, marjoram, and alfalfa. Just as you finish your glass, you are treated to more fresh fruit and vanilla, and a dollop of honey. You’ll have to go back for a second pour to unlock the rest of this dram.

David Othenin-Girard | K&L Spirits Buyer | Review Date: September 10, 2021

We’re getting pretty used to having young Mortlach in our selection. It seems like these refill hoggies are relatively available in the 8-10 year range. This is a bit of a different story, moving into a different age range, which seriously changes the complexity of this special malt. The color is pale straw. It’s definitely not a fruity one and starts pretty subtle. With some air and a few drops of water though, this big old malt starts to come to life. The darker malt character that comes out is slightly tamed by some bitter citrus peel, cacao, lightly roasted espresso beans, and some snappy saltiness. On the palate, it’s richly textured and somewhat savory although not fully into the bouillon side of Mortlach. This one needs time and air to really start giving everything it’s got on the nose, definitely one to avoid for the rushed drinker. Surprisingly, the palate is really open and complex, but the nose takes time to match. A fabulous, contemplative whisky and a thrilling contrast to the vibrant, fruity, mid-aged Highlanders we’re bringing in this year.

Loch Lomond Whiskies Unveils Striking New Packaging as it

Accelerates International Growth

 Independent multi award winning distiller, Loch Lomond Whiskies, has unveiled a spectacular new design for its packaging as part of further significant investment into the brand.

The refresh marks the next chapter for the whisky distiller which can trace its roots back to 1814 and has since grown to become one of the most diverse, adept and capable distilleries in Scotland.

The bold new packaging initiatives underlines the continuing ambition of the brand, and its parent The Loch Lomond Group, to further grow its already impressive sales and presence internationally.

Loch Lomond Whiskies sees the entire portfolio of whiskies, including its collection of three 12-year-old expressions, its limited edition “The Open” expressions, and its older age single-malts, all unveil a striking new look.

Both primary and secondary packaging have been re-designed using richer and deeper colour tones and bolder fonts to improve the products’ visibility and impact on shelf. A new contemporary bottle design which includes detailed embossing to improve tactility, has also been introduced helping to drive significant premiumisation and create clear differentiation from other whisky brands in the market.

In addition to the new visual designs, Loch Lomond Whiskies has undertaken work to update its pack copy to reinforce its brand storytelling, showcase its history, heritage and its strong connection to the stunning Loch Lomond area, and highlight its signature style of fruit, honey and soft smoke.

The significant investment in the brand has been delivered across all of Loch Lomond Whiskies’ domestic, international and GTR ranges. The premium aged range also benefits from an elevated bottle style, with metalized labels and shoulder coins and mirrored on a crystal style with heel embossing.

Colin Matthews, CEO of The Loch Lomond Group said: “Since the founding of our business over 200 years ago, the generations of people behind our brands have been doing things differently with great success.

“We continue to have this incredible ambition and passion to not only produce fabulous award-winning whiskies but to always be imaginative and innovative in our approach to creating exceptional whisky, and striking and relevant packaging has always been part of this.

“Over the past few years, we’ve seen very significant growth in our brand across the world, and as we look to continue to both excite existing consumers and engage new ones, both at home and abroad, it is important that our products stand out on from the rest and clearly communicate our heritage, history, quality, brand story and signature style of fruit, honey and soft smoke.

“This major refresh and investment is an important step in our continued growth strategy which underpins our position as an exciting, accessible and high quality malt brand. It also supports our partners, and our sales and marketing teams, across the world as we continue to engage all consumers and build on our quality reputation and awareness across all markets”

As one of only four distillers in Scotland to have its own onsite cooperage, and using a combination of traditional swan-neck, and its straight-neck-stills, Loch Lomond Whiskies has a whisky-making capability like no other in the country.  The straight-neck stills, which are entirely unique to The Loch Lomond Distillery, give Master Blender Michael Henry greater control over the distillation process, allowing him to carefully create the flavour profiles, providing an overall portfolio of exceptional single-malt whiskies which are under scored by its signature style.

Loch Lomond Whiskies is the official Spirit of The Open, having agreed a prestigious five-year partnership with The R&A in 2018, which extends to this year’s 150 Year Celebration of The Open at St Andrews.

The transition to the new packaging will begin from 20 April, with the global roll out following in line with distribution schedules.

Heaven Hill to build new American Whiskey distillery in Bardstown

Family-owned company marks a homecoming with a return to distilling in Bardstown

BARDSTOWN, Kentucky (April 27, 2022) – Nine decades since first operating a distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, the nation’s largest independent, family-owned and operated distilled spirits supplier is deepening its bourbon roots in its home community.Heaven Hill Distillery today announced plans for a new, $135 million distillery to open by 2024. The state-of-the-art distillery will augment Heaven Hill’s distilling capacity to meet increased global whiskey demand and marks the company’s return to distilling in Bardstown since a 1996 fire when Heaven Hill lost its onsite distillery, seven rickhouses, and almost 100,000 barrels of whiskey. After the fire, Heaven Hill’s distilling moved to the historic Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, while bottling, aging of whiskey and other functions continued in the Bardstown area where they remain today.

“The people of Bardstown have helped us create and build our brands over all these many years, so it’s a special homecoming to bring distilling back to this community,” said Max Shapira, President of Heaven Hill. “Our new distillery will honor our long-time Bardstown roots while applying state-of-the-art equipment and processes to produce the highest quality American Whiskey and build upon our meaningful partnership with Bardstown and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.”

Heaven Hill will build the new distillery on a vacant 61-acre site at 1015 Old Bloomfield Pike, off KY 245. Construction is slated to begin this spring and the distillery will be operational by the end of 2024. Initial production is slated for 10 million proof gallons a year, or 150,000 barrels, and will have capacity to ramp up to producing 30 million proof gallons, or 450,000 barrels, over time. Heaven Hill will continue to age bourbon at existing locations and the Bernheim distillery in Louisville will continue to operate at full capacity.

“Bourbon making is an old art, but we are applying forward-thinking approaches to ensure we are environmentally conscious and a good neighbor,” said Conor O’Driscoll, Heaven Hill Distillery Master Distiller. “Heaven Hill’s tradition of distilling with attention to detail, quality and craftsmanship will now be even more accessible as we grow our distilling heritage in Bardstown.”

Heaven Hill and Bardstown: ‘a shared and storied history’

The five Shapira brothers and a group of Bardstown-area investors founded “Old Heavenhill Springs” distillery in 1935 and filled its first barrel—labeled Bourbon Falls—on December 13 of that year. Since that time, Heaven Hill has added several acclaimed brands, earned numerous industry accolades including “Whiskey of the Year” and “Distillery of the Year,” and attracted millions of bourbon tourists to its visitor experiences, along its way to filling more than 9.5 million barrels in its history.

The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority approved incentives to support the Heaven Hill distillery project at its April meeting.

ABOUT HEAVEN HILL DISTILLERY: Founded in Kentucky by the Shapira family in 1935, Heaven Hill Distillery continues its legacy as one of the foremost American Whiskey producers. Heaven Hill has cultivated the traditions and history of America’s Native Spirit with its fierce independence, passionate family ownership, dedication to quality, and thoughtful innovation. Today, Heaven Hill Distillery maintains over 1.9 million barrels aging in 63 warehouses throughout Nelson and Jefferson Counties. It is home to an award-winning collection of American Whiskeys including Elijah Craig Bourbon, Larceny Bourbon, Evan Williams Bourbon, Pikesville Rye Whiskey, Rittenhouse Rye Whisky, Parker’s Heritage Collection, and Old Fitzgerald along with its extensive Bottled-in-Bond label collection. Heaven Hill Distillery currently holds the title of 2020 Whisky Advocate Whisky of the Year, the second Whisky of the Year for Heaven Hill Distillery in the past four years. In 2019 Heaven Hill Distillery was named San Francisco World Spirits Competition Distillery of the Year, Best in Show Whisky, and previously held the titles of 2018 San Francisco Spirits Word Spirits Competition Best Bourbon, 2016 Whisky Magazine Distillery of the Year.

VCL Vintners Launches NFT Marketplace, Metacask, And Completes First Auction from The Vanishing Spirits Line in Under an Hour 

VCL Vintners, London’s leading whisky cask broker among millennial investors have launched their cask-based NFT collection, The Vanishing Spirits line with Ernie Button, on NFT marketplace Metacask allowing for investors to bid for spirits backed NFTs. Metacask becomes the first marketplace focusing on the issuance and trading of whisky casks as NFTs. With their first auction from the Vanishing Spirits Line going live on April 5, they are setting a benchmark for investment and a statement of intent across the industry.

By launching Metacask, it allows individuals to be able to buy whisky casks and works of art and use a digital artefact as a proof of ownership. Instead of a paper-based delivery order, you are now able to take part in auctions and sales of NFT casks and use the NFT itself as a proof of ownership – knowing that the physical cask is safely existing within a HMRC-regulated facility, under Scottish law. The goal of Metacask is to take away this need for private brokers to store proof of ownership on private databases, and to begin storing this information on somewhere far more decentralised and far more accountable, the blockchain.

There are no restrictions placed on who can participate in purchasing casks on Metacask due to the asset being considered a property, however there is a know-your-customer check, executed digitally,in place to ensure that individuals are eligible to purchase NFTs. This is paramount and unique to Metacask and will ensure the validity of purchaser, as they will be the owner of a tokenised physical asset held in bond.

The Vanishing Spirits line is a collection of eleven single malt whisky casks, which have all been paired with a unique NFT of the whisky distillate, which comes from the whisky cask itself. Metacask has already hit the ground running by selling the first cask in under an hour, via a Dutch auction. The token used was CSPR, selling for 99,580 CSPR tokens; the equivalent of $8,960.00 USD according to prices on 6 April 2022.

Metacask look to sustain momentum with the launch of their second cask at an auction appearing on April 7 at 12:00 CET. The 2020 refill standard Hogshead from Glen Elgin features alongside an NFT.

The first 10 casks released for auction are a mix of casks from the most important production areas in Scotland. The casks are all relatively new makes and each NFT will show information about the cask, including the unique reference number. Last tested values will also be available unless it is a new make. The eleventh cask is the most special cask from the Vanishing Spirts line; it is the only one which will be revealed when the token is minted in time for its auction.

Award-winning Phoenix-based photographer, Ernie Button, is instrumental to the gravitas of this project, with nearly 15 years’ experience in whisky distillate photography. The inspiration for this ethereal and otherworldly set of designs came to him one day when putting away his scotch whisky glass, he left it out overnight, and when he came back the next morning, he realised there were patterned fine lines on the bottom of the glass where the tiny dregs of whisky had dried. Given the right conditions, nearly all aged whisky will produce these lines, Ernie has since experimented with this and through playing with time, age, and humidity amongst other factors, he created ‘The Vanishing Spirits’ collection. A truly timeless and unique set of photographs to accompany a cask that now belongs to legacy itself.

Prior to the launch of Metacask, VCL had completed a world record auction of a sale of a cask whisky distilled at The Macallan Distillery in 1991. It was paired with a work of art by Trevor Jones and the final sale price of this was just over $2.3 million. This was the first sign that blending both original pieces of art with the whisky market could transcend expectation, and since this landmark auction, there have been multiple others including artwork from Ruben Frosali and now, photographer Ernie Button.

Commenting on the launch of The Vanishing Spirits line, CEO and co-founder, Stuart Thom, said “The whisky market has seen phenomenal growth over recent years, with no signs of a slowdown. The Vanishing Spirits line will give owners a contemporary, 21st century way to connect with their whisky and art. Our goal is to bring this asset class to as many people as possible and increase their awareness and understanding of it through new technology; blockchain technology is the future. NFTs have been transforming the art market over the years, particularly to younger buyers and this is an exciting opportunity to bring whisky to them.”

About VCL Vintners

Whisky is now one of the globe’s best-performing asset classes, with both prices and demand continuing to grow at a double-digit rate. However, despite these ten-fold increases and interest from new investors, investment-grade whisky’s reputation for running on relationship-based acquisitions can make it somewhat difficult to enter. VCL Vintners’ expert advice assists clients at all stages of their investment journey, allowing investment in a range of whisky options, from sought-after individual bottles to entire casks.
