Proposed guidelines for American Single Malt Whisky require that the whisky be matured in oak casks of a capacity not exceeding 700 liters. When creating our releases, members of our team travel far and wide to hand-select and acquire the right barrels to partner with our uncompromising climate. Every barrel helps us impart a world of flavor into our whisky that gives every expression its own distinctive character, which is why we take such great care in their curation. Our barrels range in various use levels, from brand new to used, first fill, second fill, third fill, fourth fill and beyond. Because of the dynamic nature of the Texas climate, pot distillation and the variety of our casks, we do not have a fixed entry proof. Instead, casks are closely monitored before and throughout our process and tasted at various stages to determine the entry proof for specific barrels. By focusing in on these details, we are doing our part to bring the American Single Malt category to its fullest potential.

Our 7th release is from...(drumroll please)...Westward Whiskey What a cask! Limited to just 396 bottles, it's the perfect summertime whiskey - full of juicy passion fruit notes - and is available here: https://lnkd.in/gtsJYhWQ If you’ve not seen Westward Whiskey before, it’s one to add to your radar. Hailing from the American Northwest, an area rich with barley, Westward in Portland, Oregon, crafts an incredibly fruit-forward style of whiskey, and is at the forefront of the American Single Malt Whiskey movement. We always have a bottle of their Pinot Noir cask on our home bar, so picking our Heart Cut cask alongside Miles Munroe, Master Blender, was an absolute dream. As soon as we tasted this cask we knew it was the one. A quick one on American Single Malt Whiskey. In 2016, Westward helped create the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission to establish, promote, and protect the growing category and its legacy. These guidelines are currently waiting for government ratification - in the hope that they become written into law in the not-too-distant future. It's a very exciting and pivotal moment for the category - turning history on its head, craft distillers are setting the rules, and the bigger whiskey companies are following—not the other way around. ONE TO WATCH! Have you tried Westward before? If so, we'd love to know. Cheers! 🥃 #whisky #whiskey #americansinglemaltwhiskey

Can Scotch whisky be bottled outside Scotland? 🥃 Now, you may have heard people use the term ‘Scotch’ as a catch-all for spirits like single malt or blended whisky. You may have even heard the people or products of Scotland referred to as ‘Scotch’. And, there’s a reason for that. 1️⃣ For whisky to be called "Scotch," it must be distilled, matured, and bottled in Scotland, as per the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009. 2️⃣ There’s an exception, blended Scotch can be bottled abroad, but single malts must be bottled in Scotland. 3️⃣ These rules uphold Scotch whisky's global reputation for authenticity and quality. To be sold as Scotch, whisky must: - Be distilled in Scotland - Be aged in oak casks for at least three years - Have an alcohol by volume (ABV) of at least 40% - Be made of nothing more than grain, yeast, and water What’s your favorite Scotch? Let me know in the comments! 🥃👇 #sonalholland #masterofwine #scotch #whiskey #whisky #scotland #whiskyenthusiasts #whiskytips

Cara's part of a long Whisky Dynasty, so, as someone who's tried the most expensive Scotch, (as she heads-up a firm that actually BOTTLES it), you'd expect her 'Desert Island Drams' to be hyper-exclusive. No so. There's lots of 'supermarket' Scotch on her list and definitely proof that if you actually like DRINKING good Scotch Whisky, it's not that expensive. For instance, I topped up my own personal Decanter yesterday, with a really nice Blended Malt, that costs well under £20. Supermarket stuff. It's still nice. Drink it long this Summer, with ice and Soda, as a perfect (and less calorific) alternative to a Cold Beer. Cara shows there's also lots of rather good Scotch, you can drink neat, that you don't need to speak to a Broker about. So, there's Scotch Whisky that costs the same as a Car and there's Scotch Whisky that costs the same as a 'Slab' of beer. Both good, both filling a gap. With 145+ Distilleries and THOUSANDS on Brands to choose from, it's a very inclusive landscape! #ScotchWhiskyTruths

Today I wanted to talk briefly about Mortlach. Sometimes referred to as 'The Beast of Dufftown' it is a Speyside whisky which very much marches to the beat of its own drum. Its has a cult following within the whisky community and has been showcased and celebrated by independent bottlings long before the establishment of its own distillery core range. Unlike many Speyside whiskies that are known for their fruity, floral and approachable styles, Mortlach is rich and robust, with a distinct savoury meatiness a defining characteristic. Mortlach owes its unique character to a couple of factors. The first is its continued use of worm tub condensers. This traditional method for condensing vapour back into spirit results in less copper contact than modern shell and tube condensers, leaving a more sulphurous spirit behind. The second factor is Mortlach's 2.81 distillation regime. I have had this explained to me several times and will probably need it explained several more to fully grasp it. If I understand correctly, the majority of the spirit is double distilled, whilst the remainder is triple distilled using the smallest of their 6 stills, affectionately dubbed 'Wee Witchie'. Mortlach's 2.81 distillation process was pioneered by Alexander Cowie around 200 years ago, and remains to this day. Internally it is referred to as "The Way". With that in mind, I am surprised the below collaboration has yet to be organised. A future Diageo special release perhaps? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Diageo and Disney, be kind! This is for entertainment purposes only, I do not own the images or copyrights. I do, however, expect a credit if you do go down this path! This is the way.

Bourbon is one of those spirits that seems to be constantly growing in popularity over the years, with many distilleries experiencing both rise and fall. Antique Bourbon was one of the most popular bourbons produced by the Frankfort Distilling Company. Founded in 1902, the distillery was one of six authorized to continue making medicinal whiskey during Prohibition. After changing ownership several times, the distillery closed in the 1960s under the Seagram banner. This page-a-day calendar represents one of our earlier works, created seven years into our ongoing 68-year (and counting) journey. Like the train depicted on this display, we keep on chugging. #AntiqueBourbon #DisplayManufacturing #PlasticManufacturing #TBT #MercuryPlastics
