Edencroft New Arrivals – Ardbeg Galileo Back In Stock!

February 18, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Yes, you heard it here first!

Edencroft’s has the Ardbeg Galileo back in stock … and it’s available at a cracking price.

You’d be mad not to check this one out!

Supplier	Brand	Bottle Size	Price

Strength: 49% Summary: Specially bottled to celebrate the most audacious adventure ever undertaken by Ardbeg, this dram fires up your taste buds with spectacular aromas and tastes. Smokin’… Aroma: A burst of intense smoky fruit escapes into the atmosphere. Add water and breathe in toasted vanilla, sizzling cinnamon and warm hazelnut. Taste: An explosion of crackling peat ignites flavour explosions. Tangy lemon and lime juice, spiced toffee, followed by smooth buttermilk, bananas and currants. Smoke brims with creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows. Finish: Long and smoky with tarry espresso. No presentation box available for this whisky.	70cl	£ 75.00 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Glen Albyn – 1976 Gordon & Macphail Rare Vintage Country: Scotland Region: Highlands Age: 36 Years Old. Strength: 43% Summary: The original Glen Albyn Distillery was founded in 1844 by the Inverness Provost at the time, James Sutherland. Three years later, fire destroyed the main building of the distillery and production did not resume until 1852. However, misfortune continued when the owner went bankrupt another three years later and the distillery closed. Although used briefly as a flour mill, Glen Albyn lay silent until 1884 when it was purchased by A.M. Gregory who rebuilt the distillery, kept the same name and had his own railway which linked to the main line. During World War I, Glen Albyn was closed once again as it was occupied by the American military and used as a U.S. Naval base. In 1920, Charles Mackinlay and the distillery manager, John Birnie, acquired the Glen Albyn distillery. They also owned the neighbouring Glen Mhor Distillery. In 1972, Glen Albyn was acquired by DCL. Due to cutbacks, DCL closed the Glen Albyn Distillery in 1983. A few years later, the distillery was demolished to make way for new development. Nose: salty and nippy. And the theme thunders into an early Kentuckian drawl, with red liquorice and hickory prominent; Taste: I am shaking my head in disbelief. Not through disappointment, but wonder! How can something of this antiquity still fill your mouth with so much juice? The barley still offers a degree of grassiness, though this is camouflaged by the softest bourbon characters I have seen in a long time. The honeycomb is in molten form, as is the vanilla which appears to carry with it a fabulous blend of avocado pear and ulmo honey; Finish: a pathetic degree of oaky bitterness tries to interrupt, but it is swept aside by the residual and very complex sugars. There remains some spicy activity and even some Kentuckian red liquorice and hickory, but that South American honey really does the business; Balance: wow! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I spotted this in my sample room. Glen Albyns come round as rarely as Scotsman winning Wimbledon. Well, almost. When I used to buy this (from Gordon and MacPhail in their early Connoisseur’s Choice Range, as it happens) when the distillery was still alive (just) I always found it an interesting if occasionally aggressive dram. This masterpiece, though, is something else entirely. And the delivery really does take us to places where only the truly great whiskies go… © Jim Murrays – 2013 Whisky Bible.	1 x 70cl	£ 150.00 BUY NOW

Edencroft – Benriachs & Other Glorious New Malts!

February 4, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Edencroft – Benriachs & Other Glorious New Malts!

Edencroft’s has some classy new malts to add to it’s collection this week with some very fine Islay and Speyside malts.

Included are some Ardbegs, Benriachs and Bruichladdichs.

Particularly, check out the Benriachs. Single cask wonders that won’t hang around for long!

Supplier	Brand	Bottle Size	Price
Edencroft	Ardbeg – 10 Year Old Single Malt Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: 10 Year Old Strength: 46% Summary: Ardbeg Ten Years Old is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance. Typically most whiskies are chill-filtered and reduced to a strength of 40% ABV. Ardbeg Ten Years Old, however, is non chill-filtered and has a strength of 46% ABV, thus retaining maximum flavour, at the same time giving more body and added depth. It’s whisky with none of the goodness taken out! Colour: Light gold. Aroma: A burst of intense smoky fruit escapes into the atmosphere – peat infused with zesty lemon and lime, wrapped in waxy dark chocolate. Bold menthol and black pepper slice through the sweet smoke followed by tarry ropes and graphite. As you dip your nose in further, savour the aroma of smoked fish and crispy bacon alongside green bell peppers, baked pineapple and pear juice. Add water and breathe in the vortex of aromas rising from the glass. An oceanic minerality brings a breath of cool, briny seaspray on chalky cliffs. Waxed lemon and lime follows with coal tar soap, beeswax and herby pine woodlands. Toasted vanilla and sizzling cinnamon simmer in the background with warm hazelnut and almond toffee. Taste: An explosion of crackling peat sets off millions of flavour explosions on the tongue: peat effervesces with tangy lemon and lime juice, black pepper pops with sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee. This is followed by a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk, ripe bananas and currants. Smoke gradually wells up on the palate bringing a mouthful of warm creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows. As the taste lengthens and deepens, dry espresso, liquorice root and tarry smoke develop coating the palate with chewy peat oils. Finish: The finish goes on and on – long and smoky with tarry espresso, aniseed, toasted almonds and traces of soft barley and fresh pear.	70cl	£ 37.50 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Benriach – 22 Year Old Single Cask Tawny Port Finish Country: Scotland Region: Speyside Age: 22 Year Old Strength: 53.4% Summary: Nose: there is such aplomb to the almost wafer-brittle thinness of the strand of grape which defines the nose of this whisky, one is almost tempted to put down the glass and applaud. The barley and vanilla attaches itself to the grape with a deftness which defies belief; elsewhere no less delicate stratum of aged dates, faint smoke and manuka honey add to the perfection; Taste: stunningly salivating and fresh on delivery, there is a busy jauntiness to this which offers great contrast to the nose. The barley really shines and it takes a little while for the grape to finally emerge. When it does, we are back to a slower, more thoughtful building and dispersal of flavours; Finish: all vibrancy now spent, you need about ten minutes to pick your way through the fruity finish. The peat, which you could swear was on the nose, makes a very late reprise…and stays when it gets there; Balance: as it happens, just a couple of days back I found a stunning 43-year-old tawny Port being served onboard a Qatar Airlines flight. How an Arab airline got hold of something quite so magnificent I’d like to know. But I doubted if I would find any Tawny-related drink which would better it on the nose for the remainder of the year at least. How wrong I was…. © Jim Murrays – 2013 Whisky Bible.	75cl	£ 87.50 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Benriach – 30 Year Old Single Malt Country: Scotland Region: Speyside Age: 30 Year Old. Strength: 50% Summary: Nose: the fruit, though very ripe and rich, remains uncluttered and clean and is helped along the way by a superb injection of sweetened cloves and Parma Violets; the oak is present and correct offering an egg custard sub-plot; Taste: how ridiculously deft is that? There is total equilibrium in the barley and fruit as it massages the palate in one of the softest deliveries of a 30-y-o around; the middle ground is creamy and leans towards the vanilla; even so, there are some amazingly juicy moments to savour; Finish: very lightly oiled and mixing light grist and rich vanilla; Balance: it’s spent 30 years in the cask: give one glass of this at least half an hour of your time: seal the room, no sounds, no distractions. It’s worth it…for as hard as I try, I can barely find a single fault with this. © Jim Murrays – 2013 Whisky Bible.	70cl	£ 175.00 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Benriach – 34 Year Old Single Cask Rioja Finish Country: Scotland Region: Speyside Age: 34 Year Old Strength: 14% Summary: Nose: an intriguing head-on meeting of fruit salad and barley sugar…with some spiced vanilla thrown in to remind you of the age; Taste: silky yet strangely well mannered for a malt which has plenty of spices just bursting to escape; Finish: creamy textured, long and deliciously chewable. Some of those spices finally make it into general play; Balance: clean, sweet and quietly understated. © Jim Murrays – 2013 Whisky Bible.	75cl	£ 236.00 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Benriach – 35 Year Old Single Cask Classic Speyside Country: Scotland Region: Speyside Age: 35 Year Old Strength: 54.9% Summary: Nose: 23 creaky old leather and dusty libraries…I feel quite at home; some spiced up juicy dates, too; Taste: an engrossing experience: the grape is almost as fresh as it must have been way back in the days when Abba were topping the charts. The inevitable spices hold firm, setting into a rich fudge and mocha middle; Finish: some vanillas and tannins peel off from the grape and it is the popping vanilla pods which have the very last say; Balance: it is impossible to ask any more of an old sherry cask from Benriach than this: quite magnificent. © Jim Murrays – 2013 Whisky Bible.	75cl	£ 305.00 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Bruichladdich – Port Charlotte Pc10 Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: 10 Year Old Strength: 59.80% Summary: Extraordinary to think of the great pride we felt when bottling PC5 back in 2006. In our heart of hearts, none of us knew whether we’d still be around to celebrate PC10, this fantastic spirit’s coming of age. It’s been a long and rocky road but PC10 is here and so are we. This new Islay single malt has reached it’s first milestone. This PC edition celebrates the next generation here at Bruichladdich. Allan Logan is the youngest distillery manager in Scotland, and has been learning his trade at Jim’s right hand for 10 years. He and the other young craftsmen coming through are the future of this distillery – we recognise them now. “Tro Na Linntean”: through the generations. A limited release of 6,000 numbered bottles only. Character: The ultimate spirit six-pack. The heat shimmering over the taste buds awakens the sensory system with sensations it has seldom experienced. Medium weight, satin smooth. Colour: Luminous, harvest gold, honeycomb. Nose: The opening is one of peat smoke and lemon juice, what an amazing contrast! On the second pass the malted barley and sweet, nutty, oak aromatics rise as one. The over-lapping fragrances are inter-mingling with the marine freshness that we know & love, hallmark of our island home, deep in the spirit lies the ripe guava, pineapple, gooseberry & honey-dew melon. They’re all cocooned within the cradle of smoke. Subtle notes of peppermint, pine and anise pop up like champagne bubbles. Aromatically, it’s absolute heaven for peat fans. The briny aspect is with you throughout, blowing in on the westerly slipstream – peated malt, sea air, succulent fruit, mellow oak, sun kissed barley, and soft demerara sugar. Palate: The power surges onto the taste buds, detonating across the palate in wave after wave of flavour. The olfactory senses first detect the peat settling on the back palate, smouldering with intent. Then the combination of oak & barley take the middle ground & vanilla-dipped fruits hold fast on the front palate. With a second sip, the flavours integrate into a harmonious, vibrant taste experience, with the sweet, biscuity taste of the malt shining through to bring balance to the mid- palate. The natural oils hold all the components together giving a smooth- ness that chill-filtered spirits lack. The citrus, marine, moorland fresh- ness is a perfect foil for the peat flavours, giving a taste that can only be… Islay. Finish: The peat-fire embers last long into the night, captivating one’s imagination of ancient life & times on this wild, Atlantic coast. The pleasure of sharing time with a spirit that is eager to please brings contentment, a soul-warming satisfaction. Manna of the wilderness. Mood: Excited. Earthy. Primeval. Camp fire – the darkness and light, warm and cold, dry and damp, danger and safety. Boy scout, more SAS Bear Grylls than podgy Ray Mears.	70cl	£ 74.50 BUY NOW
