Alphabet Dram – Caskstrength Creative Release a Limited Edition Blended Whisky

March 28, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Caskstrength Cutty Sark with bag and paper

Master of Malt is continuing our education with the release of a limited edition blended whisky from drinks writers Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley: Caskstrength and Carry On Cutty Sark.

The third instalment in the growing alphabet range of spirits is also the first blend in the collection. This limited edition bottling is available exclusively through Master of Malt.

Their successful ‘A’ and ‘B’ releases in the Caskstrength A-Z of Whisky (single malt Scotch whiskies from the Isle of Arran and BenRiach distillery, respectively), Neil and Joel chose to partner with the world famous brand Cutty Sark to try their hand at creating a blend.

With guidance from Master Blender Kirsteen Campbell, they have produced a distinctive whisky to coincide with the 90th anniversary of Cutty Sark, which was launched on the 23rd of March, 1923.

Each of the 500 bottles has been hand-signed by Neil Ridley, Joel Harrison and Kirsteen Campbell.

The first 100 purchases of Caskstrength and Carry On Cutty Sark Blended Scotch Whisky include an accompanying “Cask Strength and Carry On” cotton bag which has been specially printed for this release.
Also included in the first hundred bottles is an edition of “The Daily Cargo”, a collectible newspaper which includes articles from industry experts as well as photographs, cocktail recipes, and a glimpse into the creative and wacky minds of Neil Ridley and Joel Harrison themselves.

Tasting Notes for: Caskstrength and Carry On (Cutty Sark) – 51.40% – £34.95

Nose: Creaminess and light butter supplement golden raisins and flower stems. Some hints of citrus.

Palate: Warming pepper comes to the fore; a result of the high abv. Pepper subsides quickly to reveal Demerara sugar and an unmistakable Lemon Meringue Pie. Just a whisper of smoke.

Finish: Pleasant and more-ish. More smoke becomes apparent but doesn’t dilute the lemon, cream, or sugar. This is an easy dram for such strength.

Overall: The drinkability belies the strength! Easy to sip neat but also stands up to water and cocktails. Versatile and utterly approachable.

Master of Malt Exclusive: A Single Cask Peated Scotch Whisky from the Balblair Distillery

Master of Malt Exclusive: A Single Cask, Peated Scotch Whisky from the Balblair Distillery

Master of Malt has released an Exclusive Single Cask, Peated Whisky from the Balblair Distillery in Scotland: Balblair 1990 Islay Cask 1466.

Balbair Whisky Distillery in the Highland region of Scotland has produced a limited-edition bottling of a peated whisky. Typical of the regional style, this Highland whisky provides a soft sweetness balanced with a smooth and subtle smokiness.

This Single Cask Scotch Whisky has acquired its smoky flavour through non-traditional methods. Instead of producing a spirit made from peated barley, Balblair distillers chose to mature this special bottling in casks that had previously held an Islay Whisky.
Thus, the warm, peaty flavours have permeated the classic honeyed sweetness to produce a single malt which is unlike any other.

Distilled in 1990, this ultra-rare Single Cask Whisky was aged in Cask 1466, an American Oak Barrel which previously held an Islay Single Malt Whisky.

Tasting Notes from MOM: Balblair 1990 Islay Cask 1466 – 50.40% – £124.95

Nose: What the deuce? Some kind of trick, surely. This smells overwhelmingly, potently, of delicious, freshly squeezed apple juice. Copella Apple Juice to be precise. One of the most sweet, and fruity whiskies we’ve come across in a long time. The Bourbon cask has clearly had some influence here. Given time in the glass, there is a development of very subtle peat, which complements without ever being intrusive. A touch of cinnamon and brown sugar to go with the apple. Lovely Stuff.

Palate: Following an initial hit of mid-80’s tuck-shop sweetness (Refreshers of both sorts – chewy and chalky), the peat is immediately apparent here. Becomes much more savoury than the nose and initial palate would suggest. Initial short-crust pastry notes (buttery, too) are fleeting, giving way to caramelised bananas, and a touch of Nasturtium leaf. Becomes more grown-up than the nose hinted. The best of both worlds?

Finish: Herbaceous. Mint, and parsley give way to the seam of peat, which given time becomes more menthol than phenol. Hints (but only hints) of bitumen and ash meld into one delicious, fruity, gristy, meaty ‘ball’.

Overall: This whisky has got that rare ‘x-factor’ which can only be described as ‘huge’, and very ‘spherical’. It starts sweet as you like on the nose, but the palate and finish progress beyond the simplicity that can sometimes be implicit with that term, and meld together into a seamless experience of mouth-filling flavour. Nothing is missing here, everything is balanced. Great Whisky.

Irish Distillers Success At Whisky Awards

March 26, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Irish Distillers Sweeps the Board at Icons of Whisky Awards

Irish whiskey, Jameson, is celebrating having been named Whisky Distiller of the Year at the Icons of Whisky Awards – Global 2013. They have now won the award two years running.

Further success followed as Redbreast 12 Cask Strength scooped the Best Irish Pot Still award.

The awards underline an impressive year for Irish Distillers, with sales of its flagship whiskey Jameson reaching four million cases.

Other recent highlights include the successful launch of Yellow Spot into the Single Pot Still range, as well as the launch of the coveted Midleton Single Cask Releases in February this year.

Peter Morehead, Production Director for Irish Distillers Pernod Ricard, said: “As one of the most respected whisky awards in the world, we are incredibly proud to be recognised once again by the Icons of Whisky Awards.

We have been vocal about our ambitions for the Irish Whiskey category over the next 10 years as we aim to increase global awareness and appreciation for the quality of Irish whiskey, so these awards are greatly appreciated by all the team as the ultimate recognition of our ambition to grow the popularity of Irish Whiskey around the world.”

“It’s a momentous time in the history of Irish Distillers as we say goodbye to our legendary Master Distiller Barry Crockett after 47 years at the Midleton Distillery, so we would like to thank him for his immense contribution to the company and we shall look forward to continued success in the future as Brian Nation takes the reins.”

Last week’s accolades follow a host of recent award successes for Irish Distillers Pernod Ricard, including Whisky Advocate awarding the company Distiller of the Year and its single pot still whiskey, Yellow Spot revealed as its ‘Irish Whiskey of the Year’.
Irish Distillers also won a trophy at The Spirits Masters in November 2012.
