Tasting Notes: Kilchoman 4th Limited Edition 100% Islay Single Malt Whisky!

May 15, 2014 by Gary Leave a Comment

Kilchoman 4th Limited Edition 100% Islay Single Malt Whisky

Kilchoman has released its 4th limited edition 100% Islay whisky!

Forty first-fill bourbon barrels were selected, 32 five year old and eight four-year-old for the limited edition bottling.

The 4th Edition of 100% Islay is non chill-filtered, natural colour and bottled at 50% ABV.

The 100% Islay whisky range is unique. It is produced from barley grown at the distillery, and every step of the production is completed onsite so it is literally 100% Islay from barley to bottling. Previous editions have been awarded 2013 IWSC bronze, Spirits Business Gold and IWC Silver.

The 100% Islay is only lightly peated compared to the more heavily peated Kilchoman Machir Bay and Loch Gorm expressions.

Anthony Wills, managing director of Kilchoman, said: “The 100% Islay range is something we are very proud of and we hope that people will enjoy the latest offering. It is very exciting to be able to offer a product which is created 100% on Islay.”

“The 4th edition represents a significant development in the maturity of our 100% Islay range,” commented John MacLellan, distillery manager. “Its balance and complexity far surpassed our expectations.”

Kilchoman has also recently celebrated the appointment of George Wills at Kilchoman Distillery which means that there is now a full complement of the Wills’ family working at Scotland’s only farm distillery on Islay.

George joins his two brothers James and Peter, plus parents Anthony and Kathy Wills.

George’s particular remit will primarily be developing sales in the UK, although with a small family business he is often called on to turn his hand to many aspects of the business.

After working in the agricultural and property arenas, George was attracted to the drinks and hospitality sector, initially working as assistant manager at the renowned Oystercatcher Restaurant on Loch Fyne.

Three years on he moved to a gastro pub in north Wales, before taking on the management of a gastro pub in North Wales and latterly managing three pubs for Brightspire, where he has been working for the last five years.

George said: “I am very excited to join the rest of my family at Kilchoman and help promote our brands, throughout the UK particularly.”

From September this year the three brothers will embark on a five week journey around Europe in a specially adapted Land Rover, visiting European distributors and holding tastings at 20 or more events.

In November they will visit UK distributors and whisky events.

In the 1940s the boys’ great grandfather and his brother, Spencer and Maurice Wilks, designed and manufactured the first Land Rover in Britain.

It is fitting that 80 years on the entrepreneurial young brothers are setting off on their own journey of discovery to promote whisky that they have been helping produce at their family distillery on Islay – in a specially designed Land Rover.

Tasting Notes – Kilchoman 100% Islay 4th Edition Malt Whisky ( 50% ABV )

Kilchoman Loch Gorm Single Malt Whisky

Nose: A pale straw colour malt with a smoky and peaty nose. Hints of citrus fruits.

Palate: Very light on the tongue. Surprising sweetness and smoky mellow peat. Dried fruit and spicy fruit cake mixture.

Finish: Dry black pepper, smooth smokiness which lingers long. The 50% gives it some bite!

Overall: I find this very similar to The Loch Gorm but with a milder peat hit. But that’s not a negative, just another way to enjoy the gorgeous peat flavours! Once again, a fantastic, morish dram that I’m sure will be well received by peat and Kilchoman lovers!

70cl, 50%

Average: £64.99

Many thanks to Kilchoman for the sample.

Kilchoman was founded in 2005 and is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland and was the first distillery to be built on Islay for 125 years.

A working farm distillery, it is one of only a handful of distilleries still practising floor malting.

Kilchoman also grows a portion of its barley at the distillery, and completes all parts of the production process, from barley to bottling on the island.

Since the first bottling was released in 2008, Kilchoman has established itself as a high quality Islay Single Malt Whisky, winning the following awards:-

Kilchoman’s exceptional quality was recognised at the prestigious International Whisky Competition (IWC) when Anthony Wills was named Master Distiller of the Year 2013.

Machir Bay was named Whisky of the Year at IWC 2013. Loch Gorm was also awarded Gold, Machir Bay received Silver and 100% Islay 2nd Ed was given bronze.

Kilchoman 2007 Vintage received Whisky Advocate’s Award for Islay Single Malt of the Year 2013.

In 2012 Machir Bay was awarded two prestigious IWSC Gold medals and a Silver medal, and was named in GQ’s Best 100 Things of 2012.

Kilchoman won Malt Advocates Artisan Whisky of the Year 2011, only three years after the first bottling was released.

Tasting Notes: Maverick Drinks Latest Beasts – Darkness! (Part 2)

May 12, 2014 by Gary Leave a Comment

Just some of the Darkness range!

Commonly known as “sherry monsters”, these beasts are sourced from Scotland’s top distilleries.

With their amazing dark, brooding colour, attained through the use of small, specially crafted sherry casks for finishing, the range is the first of its kind.

The dark colour is achieved by storing the drams for 3 months in specially coopered 50-litre first-fill sherry casks.

The small size of the casks allows more wood contact with the whisky, increasing both dark colour and rich flavour dramatically.

These casks have previously been used to produce some of Spain’s top sherries, including Pedro Ximénez – the sticky, sweet dessert sherry, and Oloroso – the semi-dry, nutty delicacy.

These casks bring a deep colour as well as wonderful sherry flavours such as Christmas Cake, rich spice, prunes, raisins and dates.

The Darkness! range includes spirit from Scotland’s most prestigious distilleries. Notable bottlings include the delectable 21-year-old Ardbeg, finished in Oloroso sherry casks, a 16-year-old Clynelish, and a sublime Macallan finished in a Pedro Ximénez cask.

To finish off the look of these monsters, stunning labels have been designed, hand-illustrated by Tom Lane – designer of the very popular Bicycle Playing Cards, as well as the artwork for the accompanying book for Heston Blumenthal’s Fantastical Feasts.

Darkness! is available from Master Of Malt.

Take note of the bottles total – these ‘monsters’ will be gone in a moment! (The Ardbeg already has!)

Sampling Notes From The Whisky Weekender Blind Tweet Tasting!

May 10, 2014 by Gary Leave a Comment

The Four Blind Samples

On Thursday night last I had the pleasure of taking part in my very first Blind Tweet Tasting.

The general idea being to sample Four ‘liquids’ and describe the nose, taste etc. and then try and guess where it came from and possibly the brand.

Putting aside one sneaky entry to the ‘gang of four’ I was terrible at guessing. I had no clue at all really. Obviously more ‘study’ is required!

The event was all part of celebrations for the upcoming (and first ever) London Whisky Weekender.

Hosted by The Whisky Lounge at the cutting edge East London venue Oval Space the mission is to bring the craft, innovation and heritage of whisky to the people.

The three day festival which kicks off on May 16th will boast some of the best known names in whisky industry, along with a whole host of small, craft distillers.

Over the weekend there will be a whole host of whisky based events, including exclusive tastings of rare pre World War II whiskies on the rooftop overlooking one of the last remaining Blitz sites in London.

There will also be an East End whisky cocktail bar curated by Molecular cocktail specialist Lounge Bohemia on Oval.

London Whisky Weekender

Friday May 16th to Sunday May 18th

Oval Space, 29-32 The Oval, London, E2

Tickets £35.00

If you want to catch up on what all the tasters had to say, you can view the tweets by searching for the hash tag #WhiskyWeekender on Twitter.

So, what did I think?

Here are my tasting notes … and the one which was my favourite on the night!

Tasting Notes – Sample 1

Nose: Fruity, light with pineapple coming through.

Palate: Very light with sweet slight tanin.

Finish: Lively and spicy with a dry finish.

Overall: Great dram from Berrys and certainly worth a second look – just wish the sampling bottles held a little more!

Turned out to be:-

Berrys 1992 Longmorn (46% ABV) Speyside Single Malt
70cl, 46% £67.45

Tasting Notes – Sample 2

Nose: Xmas cake, liquorice and apples. I even got a hint of rhubarb!

Palate: Light fruit and sultanas.

Finish: Sweetness basically disappears leaving liquorice, treacle and slightly spicy. Quite dry at the end.

Overall: WoW! An amazing dram – that turned out to be not a dram at all! In fact it was a Tiffon Chateau de Triac Cognac which just goes to show there are other fantastic spirits out there as well!

Turned out to be:-

Tiffon Chateau de Triac (40% ABV) Cognac
70cl, 40% £100.00

Tasting Notes – Sample 3

Nose: Very peaty! Reminds me of smokey bacon crisps and not in a bad way!

Palate: Sweet with plenty of smoke n’ peat.

Finish: Light, smooth and sweet with a bit of pepper at the end.

Overall: This is a peat dram to be sure. Peat sometimes puts tasters off but the great thing I love about peat drams is the way they grow on you – persevere!

Turned out to be:-

anCnoc Whisky Rutter (46% ABV)
70cl, 46% £51.45

Tasting Notes – Sample 4

Nose: Muted peat, plenty of wood smoke with added fruit and floral highlights.

Palate: Now that’s a surprise! Intensly sweet, hot spicy and peaty – all at once!

Finish: Very smooth, lots of sweetness and peat blending together nicely with a long spice hit.

Overall: Incredible dram – the combination of sweet and peat is not to be missed!

Turned out to be:-

SMWSUK 53.197 ‘A stoker in drag’ (57.4% ABV) Islay Single Malt (Caol Ila)
70cl, 57.4% £63.70

My Favourite On The Night

I loved Bottle No 3: The anCnoc Whisky Rutter Highland Single Malt –
that peat is simply to die for!

You’ll notice our bottles are not marked with an age statement, but simply with the year that the whisky was laid down. From then, every cask is sampled, judged and selected by John MacDonald to find its optimum maturation point. The point at which each Vintage says it’s ready.
Our Whisky: Every distillery is different. From its location and water source, to its still shape and wood policy. These are all determining factors in its ultimate outcome – its taste.
Our Vintages are intriguingly complex and satisfying. We capture the intense esters at the start of the spirit cut to give our Vintages the core characteristics of apricots, oranges, spices, floral notes and green apples. The heavier oils and lipids at the end of the cut are also captured, giving leathery, nutty and full-bodied characteristics.
Our People: Every Balblair Vintage is strongly individual. Each a unique essence of a year, captured in a bottle.
Every year, our Distillery Manager, John MacDonald, tastes, judges and selects straight from the cask. And at exactly the right moment, when the balance between the age and the character of the whisky is just right, we bottle it.

May 6, 2014 by Gary Leave a Comment

The Latest Rare Casks From Abbey Whisky

Tasting Notes – Glencadam 22 Year Old / The Rare Casks / Release 4

Release 4 in the Rare Casks series is a stunning Highland malt from the Glencadam distillery.

Distilled in 1991 and aged in a refill bourbon cask for 22 years, this once mothballed distillery was brought back to life in 2003 and is the only existing distillery in the region of Angus.

96 bottles filled.

Glencadam 22 Year Old / The Rare Casks / Release 4 Nose: Pale straw colour. Woody, toffee fudge, hints of mint.

Palate: Smooth and creamy. Sweet icing sugar tingle on the tongue. Slightly sherried which is a surprise!

Finish: Heady shades of powerful long spice n’ pepper.

Overall: Not as fiery as I thought it would be. Instead it displays a really nice balance of sweet n’ pepper with a mildly dry finish. The 55% packs a powerful punch! A full-bodied but gentle giant of a dram!

70cl, 55.3% £76.95

Tasting Notes – Ben Nevis 16 Year Old / The Rare Casks / Release 3

The Release 3 in the Rare Casks Series is Ben Nevis from the Highlands of Scotland.

96 bottles filled.

Ben Nevis 16 Year Old / The Rare Casks / Release 3 Nose: Intense dark sherry colour. Vanilla, caramel and butterscotch.

Palate: Smooth, sweet and creamy. Fruit cake mixture, stewed fruits and chocolate.

Finish: Peppery spice, thick stewed fruit. The spice is long but tapers out nicely. Barely a touch of dryness.

Overall: A substantial, robust, muscled dram. As with all these cask strength whiskies, it packs a punch! An amazing mixture of flavours that you would expect from a much older malt.
