Have you been thinking about making single malt whiskey at your distillery or brewery? Check out this article I wrote on American Single Malt Whiskey for @beveragemastermagazine https://lnkd.in/giyG9GYn

The so-called single malt whiskey is defined as whiskey brewed from the same distillery. Drinking single malt whiskey can best reflect the flavor and style of the distillery. Sherry barrel-flavored whiskeys produced by different distilleries have completely different flavors. Increased drinking pleasure. With the so-called blended whiskey, you are drinking the blending style of a master. The master blender can choose a variety of whiskey flavors from multiple distilleries to blend a perfect whiskey. I personally feel that drinking single malt whiskey is like making friends with different personalities, while blended whiskey is more like a conversation between you and the master blender.

WHISKY GALORE 2 : THE SINGLETON Creating a new single malt from scratch was an interesting challenge. It was the mid-1980s and the only malt in IDV's stable was Knockando. At the time I described malts as "aloof, subdued in their presentation and in taste terms not very accessible to uninitiated drinkers." Our way into the category was to create a single malt for blended whisky drinkers. Why aim for 4% of the market - malt drinkers - when you could target the other 96%? We didn't have a distillery, so we looked for a brand name. We used one from a gin idea we'd tried a decade earlier. It was almost a generic name for a single malt! The packaging, by Gerry Barney, echoed the showier style of Glenfiddich rather than the more remote malts like Lagavulin or Laphroiag. And the accessible whisky itself came from the J&B distillery at Auchroisk. It had a lovely sweet, estery taste which provided the underlying character of J&B Rare. A year after launch, The Singleton won a 'best in Britain' award after it had been blind taste-compared by a panel of experts against all of Scotland's most famous malts. Following a beautiful pack upgrade in the early 2000s, The Singleton is now No. 4 in single malts worldwide. And its name enables it to accommodate malts from a variety of distilleries : Auchroisk, Dufftown and Glen Ord. As with many other ideas, the real credit goes to the IDV team led by David Maxwell Scott. They bought the basic idea in a heartbeat and implementation followed quickly afterwards.

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

🔍 The Impact of Cask Size 🔍 Did you know that the size of a whisky cask can significantly influence the flavour and aging process? At Imperial Whisky, we carefully select cask sizes to enhance the maturation of our old and rare whiskies. Smaller casks accelerate the aging process, imparting intense flavours, while larger casks allow for a slower, more refined maturation. Explore how the perfect cask size can transform whisky into a masterpiece. Join us to learn more about the intricacies of whisky maturation. #CaskSize #WhiskyMaturation #FlavourProfile
