Glenfiddich Distillery’s new whisky Bar

The newly re-designed Malt Barn whisky bar and restaurant

The newly re-designed Malt Barn whisky bar and restaurant

The Glenfiddich Distillery has opened the doors to its newly re-designed Malt Barn whisky bar and restaurant.

A six-figure sum has been spent on the venue that now features a whisky bar believed to offer a world-beating selection of Glenfiddich single malt Scotch whiskies. The stunning bar, created by Glasgow based craftsman Paul Hodgkiss is stocked with over 90 bottles, including the full range of currently available Glenfiddich whiskies, from 12 Year Old right through to 50 Year Old as well as specially sourced bottles that are no longer in production and an exclusive Malt Master selection not available anywhere else in the world.

Glenfiddich Brand Heritage Manager, Gordon Paul commented: “We are offering what we understand to be the biggest pouring range of Glenfiddich whisky available anywhere in the world. The new Malt Master selection – a series of whiskies specially bottled by our Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, is totally exclusive to the Malt Barn.”

In addition to the new whisky bar, the Malt Barn features a casual dining area offering a menu including coffees, cakes, snacks and full meals all created by Glenfiddich’s award-winning chef, Addy Daggert.

Gordon Paul continued: ”We believe we have created the perfect atmosphere for our visitors to enjoy a dram of Glenfiddich, a quick coffee and delicious home-bake or relax over a leisurely lunch. The Malt Barn boasts stunning bespoke furniture, impressive artworks – including specially commissioned works by American artist Michael Sanzone – a real fire and retains many of the building’s original features resulting in a truly unique venue. We hope it will not only appeal to distillery visitors but that will also become popular with the local community providing somewhere new and different for them to eat and drink.”

The Glenfiddich Malt Barn is open 7 days a week from9.30am – 4.30pm.

Edencrofts – Special Offer & Cheshire Whisky Event Update

Royal Lochnagar - The Distillers Edition

Royal Lochnagar - The Distillers Edition

Two pieces of news from Edencrofts this week…

Number 1 is a great offer on the Royal Lochnagar – The Distillers Edition

Though the origins of the Lochnagar distillery go back to 1826, it was some 22 years later that its received its royal approval. In 1848, Queen Victoria selected Balmoral Castle as her holiday residence.
Only three days after she had arrived, the distillery manager John Begg made an invitation to Prince Albert to visit his distillery, knowing he was interested in all things mechanical.
To his surprise, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their three eldest children visited the next day. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. So impressed were they with the whisky, John Begg immediately received a Royal Warrant of Appointment as supplier to the Queen.

Each Distillers Edition expression undergoes a second (or ‘double’) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine. Carefully matched for a second maturation in Muscat casks, this is a beautifully soft and rounded whisky that’s a pleasure to drink.

STRENGTH: 40% ABV
APPEARANCE: Rich amber, with polished copper tones.
NOSE: Immediate strawberry jam, bags of jelly babies, then a richly malty heart with malt loaf and Dundee cake. With water, sweeter (rich fresh fruit aromas, as in a village fruit shop) and a hint of almond oil.
BODY: Medium.
PALATE: Oily. Fruity, with a silky cereal smoothness.
FINISH: Soft and biscuity, as with old fashioned fig rolls. Lovely late warmth.
PRICE: £32.50 per bottle – saving 32% on the standard retail price of £47.50.

(Promotion available whilst stocks last.)

Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age:    Strength: 
Vintage: 1997   Bottler: 
Summary: 1997 vintage of the stylish and complex double-matured expression of Caol Ila; the Moscatel cask wood not over-evident; richly flavoured yet also drying and finely balanced. Caol Ila Caol Ila Distillery on the Isle of Islay is famous for the stunning view from the still house windows looking out across the Sound of Islay and for the objects which have passed by including naval battleships, smugglers in dinghies, submarines and whales. Caol Ila Distillery was established in 1846 by Hector Henderson on a sheltered but rocky stretch of coast on north east Islay. Now the largest malt whisky distillery on Islay and visitors are welcomed at the distillery visitor centre where distillery tours are available. Caol Ila Distillery is a participant in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music. Wonderfully concentrated pure, clean Caol Ila – peaty and medicinal, with rich fruit, spicy and fragrant. Sweetness and maltiness strike first, then are quickly overwhelmed by peat smoke and intense, clean, crisp flavours. Caol Ila’s signature smoky bonfires are here, and build to quite a size.

Summary: Single refill sherry hogshead #706. 2nd release bottled to commemorate Benromach's support of the Clipper 07-08 round the world yacht race. Benromach Benromach Distillery was designed by Charles C. Diog and constructed at Forres in 1898 and was due to commence production in 1899. But demand for scotch collapsed when the principle purchaser of Benromach’s malt whisky Pattison‘s of Leith went bankrupt and Benromach Distillery sat silent as the next decade rolled by. Intermittent production followed until major investment and refurbishment in the 1960s and 1970s turned Benromach into a thoroughly modern Speyside malt whisky distillery, only to close again in 1983. Ten years later it was purchased by the independent bottler Gordon and MacPhail who fired up its single pair of stills in 1998 and nurtured Benromach ever since. Benromach Distillery welcomes visitors into the Benromach Distillery visitor centre, offers distillery tours and is a participant in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.

Age: 37 Year Old   Strength: 
Summary: Single cask #7646. Distilled 1974 and bottled 2012 from the award winning Berry Brothers & Rudd range. Glen Grant Glen Grant Distillery is a Speyside malt whisky distillery situated in Rothes.  Established in 1840 by brothers James and John Grant, the business prospered and in 1897 Glen Grant No. 2 distillery was established across the road in order to meet the high demand for Glen Grant whisky. During the late nineteenth century a Victorian garden was laid out in the valley behind the distillery and is now open to distillery visitors. Glen Grant Distillery has a visitor centre and offers distillery tours. Glen Grant Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Drived fruit aromas abound with prevailing orange peel and coffee grounds. The palate gives rich bursts of citrus as the flavours swell to give teasing performance from the fruit, nut and coffee section. This is as graceful a classic old Speysider as one is likely to find and remarkably lively given its 37 years in the cask.
