October '09 27th Tuesday

Just a couple of things for you this week - but real quality, as you've no doubt come to expect.  In addition to the two latest tomes from Charles Maclean, we have two very special bottlings. 

The first is our own Hakushu 1989 bottled from a single sherry cask at the eye-watering natural cask strength of 62%, and this is the first in a series of special TWE 10th Anniversary bottlings! We've got some really stunning malts from some of our favourite distilleries coming up between now and Christmas, so if you haven't yet subscribed to our New Products RSS feed (it's the big orange button at the top of the page), now's a good time to do it.

The other special bottling this week is a serendipitous marriage from our old friend John Glaser at Compass Box.  Lady Luck is an inspired combination of Caol Ila and Imperial, and when we tasted it we absoutely loved it.  Once again, hats off to JG and the Compass Box team.

Suntory Hakushu 1989 / TWE 10th Anniversary / Sherry Cask
70cl / 62%
Japanese Single Malt Whisky
A very special single cask Hakushu 1989 (we believe it's only the second ever release of its type) to kick off our exclusive 10th Anniversary bottlings. At an enormous 62%, this little belter is taking no prisoners: winner of a Gold Medal at the Malt Maniacs awards 2009 and 91 points from Serge Valentin's Whiskyfun.

Compass Box Lady Luck
70cl / 46%
Blended Malt Whisky
Compass Box
A very special new bottling from Compass Box. Lady Luck is a vatting of three casks - two old Caol Ilas (from 1980 and 1984) plus a 1995 Imperial. The result is described by creator John Glaser as 'deeply smoky, mind-bogglingly complex...a whisky of ethereal beauty'.

Benrinnes 1985 / 23 Year Old / Sherry Cask
70cl / 58.8%
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
The first distillery bottling of Benrinnes in aeons, this is a heavily-sherried number, very old-school with dark fruit, crème brulée, a hint of beef gravy and a touch of gun-metal. Released in 2009 as part of Diageo's Special Releases, this is far and away the best official bottling from this distillery.

Brora 30 Year Old / Bot.2009
70cl / 53.2%
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

70cl / 65.8%
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Lagavulin 12 Year Old / Bot. 2009
70cl / 57.9%

Mannochmore 1990 / 18 Year Old
70cl / 54.9%
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
This heavily-sherried Mannochmore 1990 was one of Tim F's favourite drams from 2009's Special Releases. A belter from a previously undistinguished distillery - we'd like to see much more of this sort of thing.

Pittyvaich 1989 / 20 Year Old
70cl / 57.5%
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
A very pleasant appley, biscuity dram from an unheralded distillery that closed its doors in 1993 after only eighteen years of existence. We were suprised at the quality of this Pittyvaich, which wears its twenty years very lightly.

(£113.33 Ex. VAT)
Talisker 25 Year Old / Bot.2009
70cl / 54.8%
Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Talisker 30 Year Old / Bot.2009
70cl / 53.1%
Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling

70cl / 56.6%
Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Speciality Drinks Ltd
A barrel-matured Auchentoshan 1992 bottled for The Single Malts of Scotland. A barrel is a smaller kind of cask than the standard hogshead, meaning this has picked up plenty of character in its sixteen years in the wood. Fresh, grassy and very lively at full cask strength.

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Speciality Drinks Ltd
A single hogshead from the popular Speyside distillery Glenrothes. This 1989 vintage release from The Single Malts of Scotland has been bottled at 46%. Clean and fresh, with a hint of spices: much less sherried than most Glenrothes, allowing the distillery character to really shine.

(£42.04 Ex. VAT)
Longmorn 1989 / 19 Year Old

October '09 15th Thursday

A mega-bumper week happening here, with the return of an old favourite from John Glaser (Spice Tree, now released from the bonds of pen-pushing halfwits at the Scotch Whisky Association) and annual staples from Ingvar Ronde and Jim Murray - essential reading. 

We've also got a slew of exciting new releases, with some great stuff at the top end, including the final instalment of the new 1964 Bowmore Trilogy and the award-winning Yamazaki 1984.  For us mere mortals, there's the return of Glen Garioch with a couple of highly-rated vintage releases, a couple of typically-stylish Bruichladdichs, the latest in Douglas Laing's Anniversary series and a very tasty Balvenie plus a few other little gems like Auchentoshan, Tamdhu and Glen Spey.

In other news, we're running a free ticket prize draw for The Whisky Show 2009!  Entering the competition is very easy and you could win a pair of tickets for the event on Friday 6th November.  Check out the TWE BLog for more details:  http://blog.thewhiskyexchange.com/2009/10/the-whisky-show-tickets-prize-draw/

Malt Whisky Yearbook 2010
Whisky Book
The 2010 edition of Ingvar Ronde's essential whisky companion is the fifth in the series, begging the question - how did we do without it before? New features this year include interviews with distillery managers and a series of in-depth articles on the distillation process.



£12.95
Whisky Bible 2010 / Jim Murray
Jim Murray's 2010 Bible has over 1000 new entries, which works out as an average of around three every single day. But he does all the work for the Bible in a liver-cringing three or four months. For that alone he deserves a medal.






£10.99
Auchentoshan 1978 / 30 Year Old / Bourbon Cask
70cl / 53.4%
Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
Matured exclusively in Bourbon casks, this officially-bottled 30yo Auchentoshan from the 1978 vintage is limited to just 480 bottles.

Balvenie 17 Year Old / Madeira Cask
70cl / 43%

70cl / 51.1%
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
This new Bruichladdich 1989 'Black Art' has been matured in "bourbon and assorted wine casks" before bottling at 19 years old. Apparently this is a follow-up to the successful Blacker Still bottling from a few years ago.
Out of Stock
Bruichladdich Organic 2003 / Anns An T-Seann Doigh
70cl / 46%
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
A fully organic Bruichladdich 2003, some of which was matured in new wood to produce what they're calling their creamiest ever whisky. Somewhat confusingly, the marketing bumf proclaims this to be the 'World's First Organic Islay', before explaining that a century ago all barley was organic. The name means 'In the Traditional Way', incidentally.
£42.95 Inc. VAT
(£35.79 Ex. VAT)
Gold Bowmore 1964 / 44 Year Old
70cl / 42.4%
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Douglas Laing
This cask-strength Dalmore 32yo is part of the range of extra-special bottlings from Douglas Laing to celebrate their 60th anniversary. Please note that this bottle has a low fill level - see image - and the price has been reduced accordingly.

Glen Garioch 1990
70cl / 54.6%
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
A cask-strength 1990 vintage release from the previously-overlooked Glen Garioch, which is now turning heads after a successful packaging revamp. Sukhinder was very impressed with this one.
£72.95 Inc. VAT
(£60.79 Ex. VAT)
Glen Garioch 1978 / 30 Year Old
70cl / 57.8%
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling

70cl / 52.5%
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A 30yo Glen Grant bottled for Douglas Laing's 60th anniversary. Rare to see a Brandy butt used to mature whisky - let alone for it then to be sherry-finished as well.

Suntory Yamazaki 1984
75cl / 48%
Finally, we've managed to get hold of this Yamazaki 1984! Sukhinder came back from a trip to Japan in 2009 raving about this one, and since then it's started winning all kinds of acclaim. The secret is the proportion of spirit aged in native Japanese 'Mizunara' oak casks as well as the American and European ones, apparently.
£999.00 Inc. VAT
(£832.50 Ex. VAT)
Compass Box The Spice Tree
70cl / 46%
Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
The very welcome return of Compass Box's 'Spice Tree', originally barred by order of the officious twerps at the Scotch Whisky Association, but now reincarnated after a slight tweak in production technique - and there's nothing those lickspittle SWA jobsworths can do about it. Huzzah!

An independent bottling of peated Speysider Ardmore 1991 from Gordon & Macphail.
£45.95 Inc. VAT

Bowmore Tempest / 10 Year Old / Batch 1
70cl / 55.3%
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
A cask-strength 10yo from Bowmore, Tempest has been vatted from first-fill bourbon casks. The sweet-tinged, oaky nose gives no indication of the fantastic maelstrom of smoke and spice that follows on the palate. This may be the best 'standard' distillery-bottled Bowmore of the 21st century.

70cl / 43%
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Gordon & Macphail
Glencraig is a very rare single malt made using a Lomond still at the obscure Glenburgie distillery between 1958 and 1981, so this 1975 vintage from Gordon & Macphail will be highly sought-after.

Laudale Speyside 12 Year Old

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A 12yo sherried Speysider from one of our favourite distilleries - at 46% this Laudale should be an absolute belter.

Speciality Drinks Ltd
Here at last - our Elements of Islay Pe1!! Unlike our other Elements bottlings, this is from a single cask, so we've not got a lot. Serge over at Whiskyfun rated this at 93 points (cheers, Serge!) and there's only a couple of hundred bottles for the site, so it's a maximum of 1 bottle per customer. Missed a Malt Maniacs gold by a single point in 2009.

The Whisky Show 2009 Tickets

THE WHISKY SHOW 2009

The Whisky Exchange is proud to be involved with The Whisky Show, which is being held at the Guildhall in London on 6-7th November.  Co-hosted by The Whisky Exchange, the Show is all about premium whisky, food and enjoyment in a relaxed, informal environment.  With music from Roddy Hart and award-winning whisky-infused food, plus all your tasting samples included in the ticket price (tickets for our sensational Masterclasses are sold separately), the Show is a must for keen amateurs as well as more experienced aficionados and whisky connoisseurs.

Exhibitors at The Whisky Show include Laphroaig, Balblair, Glenlivet, Glenrothes, Glenmorangie, Yamazaki, Dalmore and Highland Park, while Diageo will be pouring samples from this year's Special Releases. 

Meanwhile, The Whisky Exchange will be showing a range of exclusive releases from the likes of Hakushu, Longmorn and Karuizawa bottled especially for our 10th Anniversary - plus a new raft of releases for the Elements of Islay range, including Ar2, Lg1 and Pe1, which has just picked up 93 points from Serge at Whiskyfun!

You can check out all the latest news on what's on offer at the Show here.  And don't forget: ALL the whiskies exhibited for sampling are included in the price of your ticket!  There is NO voucher system at The Whisky Show - just turn up and take your pick from the most dazzling tasting line-up ever assembled in the UK.

In addition to all these incredible drams, we'll have some show-stopping food from The Whisky Kitchen (included with your ticket, naturally) and live modern Scottish music from Roddy Hart in The Whisky Lounge. 

The Show will also feature some sensational Masterclass tastings, including the famous Glenlivet Cellar Collection and a vertical tasting of Port Ellen Annual Releases.  Masterclass tickets are sold separately and places are very limited - our Rare Malts tasting has already sold out and tickets for other classes are running low, so don't delay if you fancy one of these.

Keep your eyes peeled for more info on London's Whisky Event Of The Year!
