Dalmore Distillery and the iconic presence of "the nose".⁣
⁣
It's impossible to mention Dalmore without mentioning Master Distiller Richard Paterson aka "the Nose".⁣
He has been the creative force behind The Dalmore for nearly five decades and one of the most iconic personalities in the business.⁣
During the 50 years of his service at Dalmore, one of the key tasks he performs is the selection of the casks.⁣
In particular from the González Byass Bodega, those rare casks, which have previously held 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry, are exclusive to The Dalmore.⁣
⁣
The core range, also named "principal collection" is composed by 7 different products:⁣
⁣
12yo, 15yo, 18yo, cigar malt, port wood, King Alexander III and 25yo.⁣

Time for a Dalmore post!

This distillery from Alness is owned by the renowned Whyte & Mackay and was founded in 1839, it has quite a big output, circa 4.2 million liters.

This is quite a love or hate distillery, similar for the packaging and style, able to split whisky lovers between who finds it cool and classy, and who finds it cheap and kitsch.

Dalmore is famous for the intense use of sherry casks and also the controversial omnipresent usage of caramel colorant.

The legend of The Dalmore dates back to 1263, when Colin of Kintail, Chief of the clan Mackenzie, saved King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag. Hence the stag on the bottle.

Have you ever tried a Dalmore? What your take on the distillery?
Among our reviews in the blog you can find several about Dalmore whiskies. Here the classic 15yo first launched in 2007. Matured in Matusalem, Apostoles and Amoroso Sherry.

Third and last post for this Whiskyfacile Mixology

Third and last post for this Whiskyfacile Mixology week!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Actually a throwback to the celebrations of last January for the 200th birthday of Johnnie Walker!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In particular we're focusing on the Black Label, blended scotch whisky among the most iconic in the world.⁣⁣
In this pic we were at the famous @casamiamilanoofficial where we tried this great Johnnie & ginger⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Very simple but very tasty:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- 50ml Johnnie Walker Black Label⁣⁣
- 150ml Ginger Ale⁣⁣
- Ginger slice and star anise garnish⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The versatility of the Black label is great, it's both a daily dram and a fantastic component in a well mixed cocktail.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So let's raise our glasses once more to Johnnie walker for their anniversary! Cheers!⁣⁣

Still in this mixology vibe, today we extract from our archives a Whisky based cocktail!⁣
⁣
And not a random Whisky, today we play a home-game, with a Puni based cocktail.⁣
Puni is the first Italian distillery producing single malt Whisky, it has been established in 2010 and it's located in Glorenza, near Bolzano.⁣
⁣
We decided to test the skills of our friends from "The Blend", fantastic Whisky and cocktail bar located in Castelfranco veneto, here you can find their page (@blendwhiskybar)⁣
⁣
Here the recipe:⁣
⁣
Puni Sole – 4,5cl⁣
Italicus – 1,5cl⁣
Mountain pine – 0,5cl⁣
Mastiha spirit – 0,5 cl⁣
Vaporized Ouzo⁣
⁣
And yes, it's incredible!⁣
You had any doubt?⁣

🚨WHISKY REVIEW⁣🚨 ⁣ Walking through Speys

Our Aberlour week continues with a deeper focus on

Our Aberlour week continues with a deeper focus on the distillery.⁣
⁣
The distillery has been established right next to Spey river which flows directly over the pink granite Ben Rinnes mountain, in the small village of Aberlour.⁣
⁣
The distillery is owned by the Pernod-Ricard group and is in the list of the top 10 best-selling Scotch single malt whiskies in the world with a production of 3.9 million liters per year and 50% is used for single malt!⁣
⁣
The two pair of traditional coal fired pot stills produce a medium-weight single malt, Aberlour’s character balances malt, fruit and wine due to high usage of sherry casks.⁣
The distillery tour is one of the absolute best in the Speyside region with a great tasting and the chance to hand fill a bottle from either an ex-bourbon or ex-sherry cask.⁣
⁣
The core range is composed by 5 different products: the 12yo, 16yo, 18yo and the two NAS A'Bunadh and Casg Annamh.⁣
⁣
Which is your favorite Aberlour?⁣

Aberlour week!⁣
⁣
After the Arran week it's time to move to Aberlour, just in time before our summer giveaway (spoiler alert, stay tuned).⁣
⁣
Aberlour A'Bunadh is not exactly a Summer Whisky, being a sherry bomb 100% matured in Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at cask strength (this batch at 59,2%), but we really felt like having one, perhaps it's the consequence of our overeated brain.⁣
⁣
Aberlour has been established in 1879 by James Flaming, in a magical location, alongside the Spey river, it is now owned by Pernod Ricard.⁣
⁣
This A'Bunadh is prodced in batch releases (this is the bath 66)and has an incredible story!⁣
⁣
The term A'bunadh is Scotch Gaelic, and means “of the origins.” In 1975, during the installation of two new stills, workmen discovered a time capsule that contained a bottle of Aberlour with a newspaper from 1898 wrapped around it. A'bunadh is an attempt to re-create the style of Aberlour whisky from that period.⁣
