Only on demand: Glenfiddich 31y Grand Chateau

An exceptionally impressive addition to Glenfiddich’s prestigious Grand Series, this release marks the distillery’s first whisky matured in red wine casks from France’s Bordeaux region. This limited edition single malt was initially aged in American and European oak casks before undergoing an extended nine-year finish in Bordeaux red wine barrels, completing its 31-year maturation. The result is a whisky with a striking reddish hue and indulgent layers of rich candied cherry, warming spices, and toasted oak.

Tasting Notes by the Producer

  • Nose: Warm, enveloping vanilla gradually reveals fruity, floral notes of perfectly ripe cassis berries, alongside a hint of nutty aromas.
  • Palate: Luxuriously rich, with flavours of slowly caramelised cherries and apples mingling with warming spices and toasted oak.
  • Finish: A lingering, deep finish with lasting character.

Looking for some products of the Springbank family?

Kilkerran, Hazelburn, Longrow and Springbank are all coming from two distilleries, but they are all part of the Springbank family for me.

Most of them are hard to get your hands on, especially the limited releases like the recent 10yo Palo Cortado.

What? No, Watt!

Watt Whisky expressions

Please let me introduce this ‘small’, Campbeltown based independent bottler.

Mark & Kate have together over 40 years of experience in the whisky industry. If you haven’t had the change to do a tasting with Mark I highly recommend it. You just have to love his ‘no bullshit’ explanation, no snobbery, but just good decent whisky and honesty.

And Kate is the person that opened the first door of a duty free warehouse I stepped through during my first steps into the whisky world. I will never forget that experience at Glenfarclas Distillery. When all other tour guides bullshitted us that it was forbidden to go into a duty free warehouse, she opened the gate to paradise. Thanks Kate 😉

You can read the meaning behind their weird logo, their maybe somewhat colorful flower power bottles and their full story on their website.

I want to get your attention on this unexpected, but fabulous 21yo Scotch. It really is something special and than I am not just talking about the price.

New from New-Zealand

Forget about age, this whisky is worth your while with very different flavors distinguishing themselves from Scotch. Try these newbies and realize why you need to keep an eye on this brand.

Scapegrace, New Zealand’s largest independent alcohol brand, has announced the launch of their highly anticipated first whisky, a limited range of single malts.

The announcement comes shortly after the announcement of the construction of a new distillery in Central Otago, a New Zealand $25 million project.

Crafted at the end of the world in Central Otago, New Zealand, Scapegrace whisky sees the light of day. New world whisky from the future. Whiskey beyond its time.

Located in the mountainous landscape of Lake Dunstan, the Central Otago Distillery will eventually produce the entire current portfolio of super premium gin and vodka, providing Scapegrace with the perfect climate and water quality for whiskey production. The 45th parallel (midway between the equator and the South Pole) runs directly through Scapegrace’s distillery, creating extreme hot and cold temperatures throughout the year – an optimal environment for whiskey maturing.
