Blackadder Raw Cask Linkwood Sherry Cask 1989 17yo

Say hello to Robin Tucek: whisky nut, whisky author, whisky bottler and one helluva excellent fellow! This is a cracker of an indie Linkwood. It is dark as! And once again, there's a bucket load of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. You beauty. Matured in an ex sherry butt, this malt reeks of sherry and even at cask strength, it's extremely well balanced.
Robin's Notes:
Nose:Spirity, malty and spicy
Taste: Rich and Sherried with lots of peppery spice and chocolate
Finish: Sweet and slightly peppery with marzipan and apples

Robin Tucek from Blackadder International has come up with a gem of peated unnamed Islay malt. Blackadder has managed to source a supply of just such casks which we are bottling as Blackadder Smoking Islay. But to ensure our supply we have to be a bit secretive about exactly what is contained in each cask. Perhaps that’s part of the fun in enjoying a glass or two of Smoking Islay - trying to guess what is in it! It’s certainly very smoky and peaty and with a surprisingly long, sweet smoky finish.
If you love smoky, peaty Islays and at cask strangth, then this one is for you!

Sadly out of stock. In the words of a fellow retailer and good friend, "A stormer from our friends at Berry Bros! Pretty much faultless stuff from one of the best-value Speyside distilleries around. Just so more-ish - snap it up!" I say, "Fantastic. Light, expressive and tasting of Kendall Mint Cake. Very clean, dry, crisp & refreshing. Just a hint of late sweetness at the end".

Full, deep smoky aromas combine with fruity and briny notes. The flavour is intense and bursting with waves of phenol. There is an almost jammy fruitiness building to the dry peaty finale.

Aaaah. I've finally got a new one and what a cracker it is, and yes it still has that zippy citrus, sauvignon blanc taste. But I'll let Doug from McIvor explain, "Delicate herbal and citrus aromas prevail on the nose, dominated by aromas of lemongrass. Grassy, dry, lemon zest flavours burst on the palate with sweet outcrops of honey and menthol. An appetisingly fresh, dry finish eventually succumbs to pleasing bursts of lemon peel."

I love Bladnoch…in all its forms, styles and bottlings. So refreshing, grassy, intensive and bitey. Very grainy, spicy malt, lots of citrus, lemon grass, lifted oak and this translates directly to the palate – tight, grainy and very crisp indeed. The Refreshing Malt.

Sadly out of stock. I had to get this back…this was my whisky of 2007. Just brilliant, it has length, depth, complexity, peat and it just excite me to death. One glass is never enough and as I have said before, one the best Caol Ila's I've ever tried.

I just couldn't help myself...you may remember the previous 1982 Caol Ila I got from Berry Bros at 46%? It still is one of my all time favourite drams...such majesty, poise and brilliance and yes, that very classy seamless integration of oak, malt, spirit & peat, the best I've ever seen. And now I've found some at cask strength!! And what's more, it's even more awesome than the 46%. Doug McIvor, you are a genius!!!

Sadly out of stock. Now Doug at Berry's created this for the Boisdale Jazz & Cigar Club (very swank!). Perfumed, very slight peat, plenty of vanilla and a curious note of roast beef. Initially dry & brainy but the malt sweetness takes over.

Craigellachie was founded in 1888 by Peter Mackie and Alexander Edwards. Mackie later went on to build the Lagavulin distillery on Islay. This whisky is rarely found in bottle as most of the production contributes to blends. Delicate smoke emerges with buttered toast aromas. There is some fruit skin sweetness edged with biscuit notes. The palate is full and rounded giving bursts of succulence. A nutty, dry, malty finish completes the experience.

This Northern Highland distillery was built in 1892 to take advantage of the famous Caledonian canal, that links Inverness in the east to Corpach in the west. And it was also built to run in direct competition to Glen Albyn. Sadly both became victims of Diageo's consolidation and closure programme during the 1980's. So the spirit is now rare, but I was delighted to find this excellent and well aged offering from Berry Bros. From Doug's notes, "Pear juice and white chocolate aromas come to the fore with a drift of grassiness. There is sweet melon and considerable depth, some leather and tobacco. The palate is nicely textured showing fruitiness and confirming the nose. This well-composed Dram finishes leaving a juicy, delicately peaty, lasting impression."

Enigmatic, rare & as you could imagine, highly desirable in the collectors market. Doug's example is one amazing tasting experience as you will gather from his notes, " hot sand and brine aromas combine with warm butter notes to form a creamy ambience. The palate delivers a luxuriant smooth texture, sweet but salty and with some cooked apple and pepper flavours. The finish subsides slowly with liquorice and gentle warmth".

Another gem from Doug McIvor at Berry Brothers. This time a single cask offering (700208), at cask strength (a whopping 61.6%), youthful (9yo bottled 2008), peaty, sooty, gingery, medicinal, feisty, so very stroppy...so very Laphraoig!
