Det ser ud til at adskillige nye destillerier snart åbner

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-23003748

I artiklen nævnes

Falkirk Distillery
Adelphi's Ardnamurchan
Et microdestillery i Glenrothes, Fife
Ballindalloch i Aberdeenshire
sant Anniston Farms i Lunan

Derudover er der jo Diageo's nye destillery nær Teaninich, Annandale i Lowlands, Chivas Bros' nye destilleri i Carron, Glen Carron (Hvor Imperial lå før) samt Kingsbarn

Udover de nævnte er der flere på vej, men de er nok mere på det jeg vil kalde rygteplan (hvad man nok også kan sige om nogle af de ovennævnte)

Steffen

Der er også et mikrodestilleri nær Perth, der skulle åbne snart
Strathearn Distillery

Derimod ser det ikke ud til at Scotch Liquer Centres destilleri i Aberargie lige syd for Perth bliver til noget, de blev nægtet planning permission

Jeg var en tur forbi Annandale i November hvor arbejdet var i fuld gang

Steffen

Strathearn. Yes off course. Vi var en gruppe danskere aka "The Danish Drinking Team" samt en enkelt amerikaner der var forbi i starten af Maj og fik en lille rundtur. Vi var officielt destilleriets første besøgende

De sælger også fade, og vi har da tænkt os at købe et eller to. Der bliver nok plads til flere andelshavere, men mere om det senere

Steffen

Fuld kvinde kører ind i LDI

Hvorfor artiklen udelader destilleriets tilstand er mig en gåde

Steffen

Dalmore Constellation Collection kan nu købes et par cl. ad gangen, dog kun i 79, 80, 91 og 92 aftapningerne

Ville ellers gerne have givet en 10 punds penge for at smage 64'eren

Citat:

"Dear Friends,

It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you that our beloved Master Distiller Emeritus Elmer T. Lee, 93, passed away today, July 16, 2013 after a short illness.

In the world of making really fine whiskey the role of Master Distiller is pivotal, but Elmer's meaning to those he met, came to know, and worked with closely extended far beyond that of a Master Distiller. Elmer defined, in the simplest terms, what it means to be a great American - hard working, self-made, courageous, honest, kind, humble, and humorous.

Elmer was born in 1919 on a tobacco farm near Peaks Mill in Franklin County, Ky. He graduated from Frankfort County High School in 1936 and worked for Jarman Shoe Company until December 1941. He then served with the U.S. Army Air Force in World War II as a radar bombardier on a B-29. After flying missions against Japan through 1945, Elmer was honorably discharged in January 1946. He returned home and studied engineering at the University of Kentucky, where he graduated with honors in 1949.

In September 1949 Elmer began working in the engineering department of the George T. Stagg Distillery in Frankfort. In 1966, Elmer was promoted to plant superintendent, responsible for all plant operations and reporting to the plant manager. 1n 1969, he became plant manager.

But it was in 1984 that Elmer's contribution to the bourbon industry gained him the most notoriety, when he introduced Blanton's, the world's first Single Barrel Bourbon. Elmer retired in 1985 but continued to serve as an ambassador for Buffalo Trace, and in 1986 he was honored with his very own single barrel bourbon, Elmer T. Lee. Of course, for those of us who knew Elmer, he never really retired. Every Tuesday we could see Elmer making his rounds at the Distillery in his trademark cap, signing bottles, posters, and other memorabilia at the Gift Shop, visiting his friends in Blanton's Bottling Hall, and tasting bourbons (for quality control purposes!) in the lab.

Elmer was always ready to offer advice, and was a wealth of information that many of us relied on, myself included. Harlen Wheatley would inquire with Elmer when stuck on a mechanical problem, and any historical questions about the Distillery always went to Elmer, who, with his razor sharp memory, could invariably answer. To all of us, Elmer was a friend, a mentor, and a trusted advisor.

Elmer was known through the bourbon industry for his expertise and knowledge about bourbon whiskey and he received numerous awards and recognition, including induction into the Bourbon Hall of Fame in 2001, the Lifetime Achievement Award from Whisky Advocate in 2002, and the Lifetime Achievement Award and Hall of Fame induction from Whisky Magazine in 2012.

We have lost a wonderful friend today, and he will be missed terribly.

Services for Elmer T. Lee are pending and will be announced shortly.

Sincerely,

Mark Brown"

Ja, endelig noget ordentligt på Djævleøen!!

5000€

Man kan ikke bare tilmelde sig, men kan ansøge om en billet

Steffen

Det kunne være sjovt at se hvad den masterclass bød på

mcwc.lamaisondecosse.com/

Til prisen vil jeg kalde det et særdeles tyndt program, men det afhænger nok af hvad man anser Dalmore delen for at være værd...

Glenrothes masterclass ligner en meget gennemsnitlig smagning

Balvenie smagningen er identisk (tilsvarende vel) med den der var til Whiskymessen (til 200kr)

David Robertson smagningen minder om, men når ikke op på samme kvalitet, som de vertikalsmagninger GogM har holdt ved SoS gennem årene

Ja, helt klart. Prisen er en fjerdedel, programmet ser mere spændende ud og hotel og mad er inkluderet

"Buy - while stocks lasts"

Jeg glæder mig mest til at se hvor mange af de 5-6 personer jeg kender, der indtil videre har købt PE hvert år, også finder plads i budgettet i år.

Den første har meldt forfald

Steffen

Underligt at PE pludseligt er dobbelt så dyr som Brora. Ikke at Brora er billigt altså....

Det mest underlige er at i takt med prisernes himmelflught er flaskerne blevet sværere at finde

De ender nok i Asien ?

Steffen

Nå så fik Braunstein en gold award fra IWSC

Det må have været fra et andet og langt bedre fad end det andre herfra whiskynyt har smagt på!!

Meh! and way overpriced...

Der er dog et positivt aspekt - nu skal alle have sådan en flaske hvilket i det mindste gavner den danske statskasse...
Om få uger, når denne er udsolgt, kan man finde den på diverse online medier til 10.000 DKK sammen med alle de andre Braunstein flasker...

IWSC's dommerpanel er, med enkelte undtagelser, alle fra vinbranchen.

Den skal jeg ha'!!! Og deres priser plejer ikke at være skudt helt af selvom det er specialaftapninger!

Ja den lander på £50.99, så det er vel en ok pris
