The Art of Whisky Crafting

I believe Whisky-making is art and it favors the homage of craft where tradition and novelty mix together. Every distillation process has its own story as to where it is located, who makes it, and what casks it is aged in. Each whisky reflects all the parameters: cask type, climate conditions, and the special techniques used, which make them rather individual. Telling time is perhaps one of the most engaging factors associated with whisky making. Every year of their maturation, the whiskies gain new shades of taste and depth making them different and special.

Maturity is a long and tedious process that needs commitment and skill in order to be achieved. Each cask is made from different kinds of timber such as American oak, European and all of them bring out something unique to this whisky. A slow maturation process makes sure the whisky develops beautifully with time and does not become aged or bitter in taste. The surroundings of the whisky also matter in this, precisely the temperature difference and even the level of moisture can affect the whisky. This leads to a whisky that is not only one dimensional, but is a drink that has layers and each time you take a sip you find something new.

Another method of raising the final product is the combination of different cask types. From Bourbon barrels to Sherry butts, each kind contributes its own unique character and depth to the spirit that entices the palate. The cask too becomes part of the entire process of making whisky and a component that is difficult to control during the whole process.

Fruit Utopia

This outstanding whisky is evidence of the skill involved in ageing and mixing of its various components. It is aged for more than twenty years starting off in bourbon hogsheads then moved to custom toasted French oak barriques from Seguin Moreau cooperage. The whisky then goes through a maturation process in second-fill bourbon barrels for five years before it is closely watched again before being bottled. The end product is a very balanced whisky with a velvety mouth feel that is hard to find in other whiskies.

On the nose it has a fruit ripening character with a touch of bananas and a slight hint of camphor, tobacco, and dried fruits. Constantly one perceives a hint of polished oak furniture which gives a sort of finish. The palate is just as complex with croissants, red berries, exotic fruits, and antique white wine. A few drops of water reveal flavors of elderberry jam, shortbread, and marzipan. The finish is a comfortable one and carries with it impressions of lemon sponge cake, crème pâtissière, honey, tropical fruits, and, of course, age.

Key Features:

• Maturation: This was aged for 20 years in both bourbon hogsheads as well as French oak barriques.
• Flavor Profile: It has a smooth velvety body, fruit tanginess with undertones of tobacco and spices.
• Nose: Sweet with notes of bananas, apricots and finished with oak.
• Palate: Slightly sweet with distinct flavors of tropical fruits, almond, and some dust of the pastry.
• Finish: Sleek in honey, citrus, and oak notes.

Spruce on the Loose

This whisky is made in a limited quantity and represents the idea of a joint effort between whisky distillery and brewery. The whisky includes locally sourced spruce tips from Perthshire, which also creates a powerful and layered taste of the beverage. The nose is placed in a rather forest of deep and warm spices, the palate is a summer field, fruits gardens and spices citrus. The end product is a whisky that is rather both rousing and grounding; the palate has its sweet and the nose its savory.

The whisky has a scent of calligraphy ink and dried papaya together with maple syrup and crystallized spruce sap. It has the same feeling of the forest floor in the autumn. On the palate, it has the feel of green apples, ginger, and toast cereals. Water releases nectars, cedarwood, and honey in the experience, while the palate opens up even more with the hint of bay leaf, orange peel with nutmeg and sweet chili fruit leather.

Beach Bonfire Blowout

This is a smoky and savory whisky with notes of the beach bonfire and the sea included within its magnificent flames. It was matured for 16 years in ex-bourbon cask then moved to a second-fill, heavy-toast hogshead that enhanced its smoky-charred flavor. The nose is of smokiness of wood, seaweed, mussels cooked in white wine, while the palate is of langoustines, squid, and a hint of bonfire potato. The aroma of the reduced nose is of roasted chestnuts and perfumed sweets; the palate offers toffee sweetness, charred oak and a salty taste.

The whisky in each sip gives a feeling of the outdoor and the feel of the sea, bonfire feasts with the smell of burning wood and the tang of the sea. The drink concludes with a long-lasting bitter char of oak and spices, and therefore it is recommended for those who enjoy smoky scotch.

Key Features:

• Maturation: Aged for 16 years in the ex-bourbon cask and then transferred to a heavy toast hogshead.
• Flavor Profile: Bacony, barbeque, and nautical with hints of salt and spice.

This is real luxury whisky, which takes years of ageing in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This whisky combines a deep tropical fruit and rhubarb and custard finish with treacle, plums and a sweet dried fruit edge. The intensity and flavors are solely due to the aging process of 29 years, multiple types of cask, and an impressive maturation period. The finish is well nuanced with notes of rum and raisin ice cream, hazelnuts, and dried petals adding a touch of royalty to the taste.

Each taste is a trip to heaven, coconut, bitter-sweet chocolate, cranberries, and tropical fruits are the main flavors of this drink. It offers exceptionally high strength of 59.2% ABV and yet it does not dominate rather complements the refined nature of the whisky.

It is sometimes said that the blend that is most surprising is the one that is most delicious. This whisky combines the taste that is sweet, savory, and smoky all at once, therefore giving a shocking surprise in every taste. My wife had the nose, which is a version of the French croque monsieur and has Dijon mustard, béchamel sauce, ham, and cheese. The palate continues with lightly smoked porridge oats served with banana, cinnamon, and brown sugar. More savory notes include water, paella rice, artichokes, spiced shrimp, fried garlic mushrooms, smoked salmon, and crème fraîche.

This whisky can only be made to show how complex the best of blends are: where subtle and unique notes blend to give the best balance and depth.
