Paul, would love to drop by but unfortunately, I am 3000 miles away in Richmond, VA.

For a great selection of Scotch Whisky glassware, visit our website ScotchWhiskyGlass.Com

 

We were featured in the December 2011 Christmas edition of PLAYBOY in the gifts section.

Next Friday I will be co-hosting a Single Malt Scotch whisky tasting on the Queen Mary in Long beach, and whisky tastings Saturday and Sunday at the Queen Mary highland games.  If anybody is in the vicinity, please drop by and say hello.

Yes Kenneth, I have a good friend that has a friend at Morrison Bowmore Distillers, he tried to find out, but they were,'t talking.

Furthering Paul's comment about McClelland's, he is correct.  The whiskies used in the McClelland's bottlings are all ~5 years old.  Paul, I too, have been trying to find out the Speyside whisky but there are really tight lips as to what it is.  I was at Bowmore two weeks ago and asked, but no one was talking.  They don't mind talking about the other McClellands bottlings.  ( e. g. Many times it is contractural as some distilleries don't want their name on an independent bottling as a particular cask(s) may not be representative of the distillery's characteristics.)

Ewin, I'm not trying to solicit, but I do a free whisky newsletter every two weeks, I send it out by email as a pdf.  If you want to receive it drop me an email at paul@scot-talks.com

Paul, I was in Glasgow a few months ago and really discovered scotch.  The scotch shops in that town blew my mind.  I'm really looking forward to learning more.

Paul, thanks for the info.  I will have to check it out.

Glenfiddich have brought out a new limited release (3,500) bottles called “Cask of Dreams.”  Approximate cost is $100.00 per bottle.  I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a bottle, even better my boss and good friend David got three bottles and opened one for me to try.  In my opinion not as good as Snow phoenix or even the 15 year old Solara reserve, but a mighty fine whisky nonetheless, a little spicey, with some apple/pear hints.
