Just en passant. So sad that they mustn't have too many tourists there these days, as it's a lovely tourist-friendly place. In short, not quite Mortlach (better for us).

Did you notice that we did not do the bloggers' favourite joke, "the Skye is the limit"? De nada, my pleasure. For a long time, we've been joking about those 'secret malt whiskies from the Isle of Skye', stressing the fact that there was only one distillery on the Island anyway. BBR's 'Isle of Skye', DL's 'Tacticals', TWA's 'Talimburgs', Adelphi's 'Fascadales' and quite a few others. That era just came to an end, after some false start elsewhere, thanks to Mossburn's new Torabhaig Distillery, on the south shore.

Deanston Kentucky Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl Deanston Kentucky Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

The awards were sponsored for a third year by Bruce Stevenson Insurance Brokers. Graeme Dempster, Account Manager, commented;

So the Belgian. Colour: straw. Nose: dipping your nose into a large glass of fruiticello. Indeed that doesn't exist yet but let's be creative and say that it would include citrus juice, melon juice, passion fruit juice and mango juice, plus a bottle of Absolut and a spoonful of agave syrup. With water: fresh baguette and chalk and porridge are up, but we're still having a huge quantity of fruiticello. Mouth (neat): oh so very Balblair! In truth I can't wait to bring it down to 45% vol. as I believe that's this make's ideal strength. For the time being, there are tiny touches of peary nail polish and varnish, which is absolutely normal. With water: yes, there, much better. Bananas and pineapples are chiming in, also starkrimsons and kiwis. Lemon squash, lemonade, and welcome hints of green walnuts to prevent it from becoming overly fruity. Yes that may have happened. Finish: medium, superbly fruity, rather on a banana and tangerine combo. Green walnuts and cinnamon in the aftertaste. Comments: a wonderfully structured ueber-fruity Balblair, a bit in the style of some 1970s Benriachs. Loves water. We're very close to perfection. Torabhaig 2017/2020 (46%, OB, Inaugural Release, Legacy Series, first fill bourbon, cask #300-600, 32,000 bottles) I believe these are all first fill. I doubt different casks will be very different, it's probably all under control. Colour: white wine. Nose: fresh and citric at first, chalky and lemony, with touches of fresh oak (not totally dry) and just cut grass. A little iron too. It's very tight, with growing notes of paraffin and fresh cement, then green apples and a wee menthol/camphor combination. Refreshing altogether. Mouth: really very good. Lemon sherbet, tight grasses, the greenest green apples and the greenest limes, then perhaps mirabelles and damsons, but it'll never get as mellow and rounded as some other casks that I had tried earlier. Finish: long and sweeter, more on jellybeans, then just a lot of grass. Perhaps a little too much sourness in the aftertaste, sour fruits… Comments: it's remarkable that it never got vanilla-driven given that this was first fill. Nose: Fresh, fruity and vibrant. There’s some barley sweetness, with vanilla from the casks and the typical Deanston honey, but this time it’s not accompanied by those gingerbread and other bakery notes you get in other official Deanstons. Instead, there are fresh apples, grapefruit (a note I always love in whisky) and a very appealing grassiness. It’s partly due to the young age of course, but it’s refreshing to come across a Deanston that lets the spirit do most of the talking here.

Deanston Kentucky Cask - Whisky from The Whisky World UK

That first official Shizuoka sure was a session killer, but aren't we supposed to be resourceful at WF? I have an idea… It is with the greatest possible pleasure that I have been asked to present this award. I first met Sheila in 1992 when I was invited to a course which she was giving on sensory skills and without a word of a lie this course changed my life. She really is an unsung hero of the Scotch whisky industry. She deserves immense credit for making the link between chemistry and the language we use to describe flavour and for being the first to display it in a wheel. This idea was taken up very rapidly taken up all over the world. She really is a wonderful person and deserves every recognition.”SILVER MEDAL AWARD: Artful Dodger Whisky Collective 1978 41 Year Old; Artful Dodger Whisky Collective Yes wouldn't we do a little Auchroisk today? Remember some experts say we should pronounce that 'Ohthrusk', but I can tell you if you ever go to a shop in France and ask for 'Ohthrusk', they say wrong place and send you straight to the Tourist Office. Let's do this randomly if you please… This is a sourced blend as well, but some parts are Japanese, from Gotemba. Rumour has it that this contains Four Roses, as Kirin own Four Roses. Really? Colour: gold. Nose: between Scottish grain and bourbon indeed. No clear maltiness that I can detect, rather barbecued corn and rather a lot of maple syrup and liquid caramel. Vanilla. I'm not a fan, but things may improve… With water: light maize, earth, vanilla, rye… Good bourbon? Mouth (neat): sweet and light, but there's some textured smoke to it, possibly from Gotemba. The rest is light and thin, sweet, on vanilla and coconut water. With water: not much to complain about, this would be a young bourbon with a malty edge. Now careful, it does not swim too well and tends to get shattered if you add too much H2O. Finish: rather short. Sweet and sour. Comments: 'pure' I don't know, 'mellow' for sure! If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

Deanston Virgin Oak — DRAMFACE Deanston Virgin Oak — DRAMFACE

This one from their 'Pop Art Collection'. Colour: white wine. Nose: oh olives and capers matured in used engine oil with pieces of lemon and orange, then pollen, mead, avocado and papaya juice, and a drop of banana wine for good measure. I'm really a fan this far, but how well will this unusual profile translate to the palate? Let's see... (come on S. this is not the BBC)… Mouth: forget about the oils, we're right on tropical fruits and the juices or liqueurs made thereof. Bananas, papayas… The structure remains malty having said that, and rather creamy. I don't know if this is art, but it is clearly pop. Finish: medium, very fruity. Notes of fruit jellies, beans, crocodiles, bears… Comments: I was not quite expecting this, although we'd somewhat go towards the very good Special Release 1990 the owners did a few years ago. Same quality. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.I’ve mentioned bourbon a lot here, and this isn’t like drinking that particular whiskey from our American friends with its completely different mash bill. If you try it alongside one like I’ve done, you’ll see how different they are. However, it does share a little of the wood-driven characteristics I don’t get on with so well. Other people who enjoy their virgin oak scotches and bourbons would enjoy this much more than I do. Let me leave the last word to Talisker (and make sure it wins this session, to give honour where honour is due). Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).
