 Glendullan / 14 Year Old / Old Malt Cask Edition

Glendullan / 14 Year Old / Old Malt Cask Edition
Special Offer: Save £15.25
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 14 Years Old   Strength: 50%
Summary: Old Malt Cask is unashamedly for connoisseurs of the finest expressions of Single Malt Scotch Whisky. As one of the most established brands in the single cask market, Old Malt Cask is trusted by thousands of Malt Whisky consumers all around the world as the selection which bottles some of the most noteworthy Scotches in the market. Each month, the Hunter Laing tasting panel reviews the company stocks and, after careful consideration, selects only the casks which are of the highest quality. Whether the whisky was distilled in Speyside or Islay, the Lowlands or the Islands, they all have one thing in common – they have been bottled at exactly the right time to capture the unique characteristics of the cask.
Invariably bottled at 50% strength to maintain drinkability, each new expression is non-chillfiltered to ensure that the personality of each cask remains. Our expert blender also writes notes to guide the consumer through the tasting experience. We don't have to do much with the whisky – we let it speak for itself.
Old Malt Cask has spent fifteen years as one of the market leaders in the single cask category. As the reputation of Hunter Laing rests on the quality of each release, they aim to ensure that each new bottling delights the consumer as much as the last one.
Nose: what a beautiful mix between clean, alluring barley and citrus, mainly clementine’s; a little lavender freshens it up even further;
Taste: just about a perfect impact on delivery; the malts are salivating, the sugars are crisp and clean, the vanilla un-embittered…wow!!!
Finish: here’s the dull bit Glendullan…the oak injects a little natural caramel but a few spices compensate;
Balance: at last! A Glendullan how I normally see it in the blending lab, rather than when tasting bottling’s for the bible. Of late they have been pretty ordinary and hardly representative. This one is much truer to its known quality among pros, mainly due to this crisp malt being presented in decent oak for a change.

Nose: clean with a proud butterscotch tart theme. The barley is still fresh and at times concentrated;
Taste: I defy you to count how many different style of natural toffee you can find on this…; a thin layering of ulmo honey sits well with the maple syrup and persistent malt;
Finish: a little spiced cocoa on the fading barley sugar;
Balance: given the right cask, shows what a lovely malt this distillery is capable of producing. Engaging and irresistible.

Nose: plenty of Kentucky at work here with the liquorice and hickory giving depth to the vanilla. The barley is not outdone, though…;
Taste: the oak yoke is discarded on delivery and the vbarley is at full blast;
Finish: just adore those gristy sugars which have somehow survived all these years; some lemon to the late vanilla;
Balance: simple, but so elegant with it!

Nose: apple and pears….with the accent on the pears;
Taste: gets the sugars in early and, better still, makes them of a gristy type. Which means that the ever-growing oak is comfortably contained and the complexity increases….; the barley is juicy despite the years and the spices early on;
Finish: some very clever oils ensure a dessert feel to the finale which includes some sugary diced coconut;
Balance: creamy, complex and luxurious. Both well-made and matured.

Glendronach - 24 Year Old Grandeur

Glendronach – 24 Year Old Grandeur
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 24 Year Old   Strength: 49%
Summary: Cask Type: Matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts.
Appearance: Glistening burnt amber holds a rich crimson heart.
Nose: A magnificent combination of honey-drenched dates and succulent raisins which gently ebb and flow with waves of delicate orange blossom, mint and cracked black pepper. Hints of glazed cherries and toasted almonds perfectly complement the seductive nose. A nose to be appreciated slowly and often.
Palate: A fabulously full-bodied, vibrant palate captures a multitude of classic sherry cask characteristics. The delicate sweetness of rum-soaked golden sultanas refines rich espresso, dark chocolate and treacle toffee. Zesty orange oil softens to a deep clove spice and prolongs the ever changing palate. A sublime example of understanding the relationship between cask and single malt perfectly.
Conclusions: The Grandeur 24 years old encapsulates the perfect harmony of exquisite sherry oak casks, masterful maturation and traditional, crafted Highland single malt. A dram to be savoured in order to reveal the depth of dramatic flavours held in the glass. A truly memorable and captivating GlenDronach expression.

Edencrofts – Special Offer & Cheshire Whisky Event Update

April 17, 2012 by Gary Leave a Comment

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.)

Edencroft Malt Whisky – Limited New Arrivals

August 24, 2011 by Gary Leave a Comment

Edencroft Has Two New Releases From The Old Malt Cask

Edencroft Has Two New Releases From The Old Malt Cask

Edencroft Fine Wine & Spirit Specialists have some very nice Limited New Releases this week with a couple of offerings from ‘THE OLD MALT CASK’.

They are the 27 YEAR OLD GLEN MHOR – DISTILLED AUGUST 1982 and the 27 YEAR OLD DAILUAINE – DISTILLED FEBRUARY 1983.

Fair warning though, there are only six bottles (of the Glen Mohr) and five bottles (of the Dailuaine) available for each malt whisky so I wouldn’t dither if you don’t want to risk being disappointed.

So, let’s check out the goodies …

27 YEAR OLD GLEN MHOR – DISTILLED AUGUST 1982

This is one of the ‘lost’ malts being that The Glen Mhor distillery closed it’s operations in 1983. The distillery has now been demolished (and a shopping centre was been built upon the site. Oh! The shame of it!)

It received 95 Points from the Whisky Bible with these tasting notes:-

Nose: peat-smoked oak; vanilla cream Swiss roll…simply gor-geous.
Taste: smoked-spiced delivery with several layers of lime and caramelised ginger; juicy and improbably sensuous with the peat returning to fill the middle rather nimbly.
Finish: tires but there is enough Demerara to see off the worst of the oak; the smoke-laden spice is a constant – rather delicious – noise to the very end and helped by a very light oil.
Balance: more time on its dial than Big Ben. But plenty of the smoky spice of life… this is astonishingly good.
(Copyright Whisky Bible 20011)

It is priced at £105.00 per bottle – only six bottles available.

And the second malt …

Edencroft's Releases Are Glen Mohr and Dailuaine

Edencroft's Releases Are Glen Mohr and Dailuaine

27 YEAR OLD DAILUAINE – DISTILLED FEBRUARY 1983

Dailuaine (pronounced “Dal-oo-ayn”) means ‘green vale’ and it’s name perfectly describes the distilleries location and rich surroundings. The Dailuaine distillery is located between the mountain Ben Rinnes (The Ben) and the river Spey at the village of Carron. It was founded in 1852 by William Mackenzie.

The whiskies produced at Dailuaine are the major components of the Johnnie Walker blends. Only 2% of the product is marketed as single malt so this release of the 27 year old single malt makes it a very rare beast indeed.

It received 93.5 Points from the Whisky Bible with these tasting notes:-

Nose: bloody hell… smoke!!! And we’re not talking a couple of ppms, either. Sweet, almost a touch of cloves, to dance with the phenols.
Taste: probably the best delivery from this distillery I’ve come across in 20 years. Not only is the peat chewy, but there are sumptuous waves of Demerara blending in perfectly; the mid-dle is entirely consumed with vanilla and barley, with the smoke drifting around the back of the palate: what a treat…
Finish: the usual distillery leaden-footed lushness works to good effect here as the smoked honey goes full length…
Balance: don’t get me wrong. I am not just making this up be-cause it is a peaty malt. There are any number in this book which have underwhelmed me, as you can see. No, this is all about the sublime marriage between the smoke and varying sugary notes. A real journey of a dram… what a discovery!! .

(Copyright Whisky Bible 20011)

Price: £99.50 per bottle – only five bottles available.
