PDA Glenugie 1977 29yo Closed Distilleries

PDA? Part des Anges, an impressive French wine and spirit wholesaler who just so happen to have a love for closed Scottish distilleries. This East Highlander, once owned Whitbread/Long John Distillers, was closed in 1983 and never, ever released as a distillery bottling. Pity because the intrigue and quality of this indie bottling is very fetching.
From Whisky News, "Malty, spirity, oaky, smoky (cigar box) and on lavender, with some discreet fruitiness...General Impression: A good and rather smoky Glenugie". NB: The pic is indicative only!

From the very famous and dare I say one of the largest whisky retailers in the world, La Maison du Whisky, comes this "peatbull" terrier of a whisky (just think how the French would pronounce it): it's passionate, it's tempremental, it's banged up to the gills with peat, it's got loads of tar & rubber along with plenty of seaweed & kelp. Fabbo!!! And bravo LMDW!!

This is a new range of whiskies that comes from that enterprising independent bottler, Speciality Drinks. You may seen the super Elements of Islay series and some seriously good malts under the Single Malts Of Scotland label. This new brand does not disapoint. Big, full on smoke, with a richness and weight. Plenty of honey, pepper, citrus and marmalade notesbest of all, it's all in balance, even at cask strength. As one pundit wrote, "Quite worryingly drinkable and extremely more-ish". and

A malt that is very fresh and highly exuberant with the lasting impression on the palate is the coal smoke, lemon and honey flavours all battling for supremacy. The palate is long, gets quite spicy mid palate as the alcohol kicks in and as I keep saying with all good quality malts, "the flavours just keep rolling down the palate". The finish is well laced up with smoke and black pepper. All in all, a very bracing dram...but very Islay!

Prestonfield Bowmore 1972 36yo

$510.00 |

The decadently exclusive & wickedly priced Prestonfield House in Edinburgh boasts a breathtaking whisky and this ancient Bowmore amply demonstrates the quality they are searching for in a malt that is to adorn their shelves. This Bowmore has been fully matured in a refill sherry butt and while the style harks back to the golden era of Bowmore’s from the 1960's, it has been described as being tad more austere BUT it’s more smokier and way more complex than them. The crew at Whisky Fun have rated it at 5 Stars/91pts, commenting: "one of the best of the vintage, mid-peated. Needs attention and concentration, that is" Sept 2008.

Founded in 1998 by Andrew Symington, Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky have built a fine reputation for offering whiskies that are both high in quality and are highly fascinating. A strapping youngster from Bowmore: Lots of peat, plenty of grassiness, ash & iodine, black pepper & citrus flavours. And why Very Cloudy? It hasn't been chilled filtered!

Founded in 1998 by Andrew Symington, Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky have built a fine reputation for offering whiskies that are both high in quality and are highly fascinating. It's been a very long time since I drammed on a Glen Ord, traditionally a very clean & smooth whisky (long ferments & plenty of copper contact) and this youngster from Signatory certainly lives up to the stye...plenty of pear & pineapple, licorice & spice and just a hint of peat. And Very Cloudy? There has been no chill filtering at all!

Founded in 1998 by Andrew Symington, Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky have built a fine reputation for offering whiskies that are both high in quality and are highly fascinating. This Straight From The Cask version of Glenburgie is a first for TOWC, as we have never offered this renowned Chivas owned Speysider before. This is an ancient single malt that was made using the rather unusual Lomond Stills. Hiram Walker at the time, believed these type of stills would produce a fuller & richer spirit. This Signatory offering will not disappoint: It's rich, long & smooth but somewhat surprisingly, there's still an element of freshness to it and it's massively complex as well. Look out for the impressive tasting note at Whisky Fun on the net.

Founded in 1998 by Andrew Symington, Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky have built a fine reputation for offering whiskies that are both high in quality and are highly fascinating. Another Straight From The Cask offering from Signatory and this youtfull and highly peaty Laphraoig will not dissapoint. There's loads of peat but what got to me was the texture, so deliciously unctuous and it appears to have been matured in sherry oak. As they say, this has to be the nicest type of medicine!

Aaah! Port Ellen. The world's most prized and loved single malt and so very hard to find these days. Subtle, elegant, complex, very crisp & clean and overall very enticing as most Port Ellen's are. Once tried never forgotten. Only 318 bottles released from a single cask (1135) and matured in a hogshead. The pic is indicative only.

Ian MacLeod's Smokehead is an unashamedly boisterous peat monster, but where is it from?
Smokehead is a rich, seaweedy and intensely peaty whisky.The flavour is fresh, fruity and immense, with notes of sherry, iodine, toffee, smoke and sea salt all fighting for recognition.A really vigorous whisky not for the faint hearted … savour and enjoy!

Now mid way through last year, some lucky customers were given a sample of a rather splendid peated Ilsay malt...and I asked you "What Do You Think?" The reposnse was amazing and I never let on which malt it was. So here it is. Ian McLeod's Smokehead extra Black 18yo.
As the Chief Smokehead says, "Not for the faint-hearted, Smokehead Extra Black is a powerful and complex Single Malt, with hints of mint, ginger, cloves and vanilla and undertones of kiwi fruit and smoky chocolate."
For me it is amazingly long and extremely well balanced, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Bravo Ian McLeod!!

This Indie comes from Sukhinder Singh's Single Malts Of Scotland range and proves to be quite a mouthful. Being more crisper and drier in style to the standard HP offerings, possibly due to its 100% bourbon barrel maturation, however the peat is still there.
