Discovering New Whisky Worlds at the End of Every Dram
Many whisky lovers feel a sense of sadness at the end of a good dram. But for Ernie Button, a drained glass is an opportunity to dive even deeper. When he’s done with a drink, rather than just putting the dirty glass into the dishwasher, Button uses it to create otherworldly pieces of art.
Button’s collection of photographs, called “ Vanishing Spirits: The Dried Remains of Single Malt Scotch ,” shows how every glass of whisky can yield unique patterns, “like snowflakes,” he says. Here’s how it works: whisky that dries in the bottom of a glass does so irregularly,...

Macallan 50, Dalmore 45, Glenlivet Code More New Whisky
It’s a big week for well-aged scotch. Macallan is releasing a 50 year old single malt that aged in a single Spanish oak sherry butt, while Dalmore has unveiled a 45 year old which includes whiskies finished in two vintage tawny port pipes. The Macallan 50 year old costs $35,000, and only 200 bottles are available (35 for the U.S.), while The Dalmore 45 year old rings up at $12,500 with 500 bottles for sale.
Meanwhile, Glenlivet is reprising the same elements of mystery that surrounded its Alpha release a few years ago. The Glenlivet Code is a Speyside single...

The Whisky Exchange presents: Park Royal Gin
Gin has an illustrious history in the UK and is enjoying a well-earned resurgence. And now, The Whisky Exchange is proud to announce its first-ever gin bottling – Park Royal Gin – made in the heart of its London home.
Park Royal Gin is a gin like no other – this is why:
- we make the new-make spirit ourselves from special summer wheat on the site of the former Guinness factory, distilled in a 30-metre column still
- we source all the botanicals from Park Royal in north-west London
- the gin itself is distilled in a bespoke pot still and made...

Foursquare 2004 / Caroni 1997 (Rasta Morris)
I had to look it up: the last time I reviewed an Asta Morris release was three years ago. Time flies. Belgian bottler Bert Bruyneel now has an impressive line-up of over 100 bottlings, although he is so active in the Far East that a lot of these releases were never sold in Europe.
Now there’s a sidekick label called Rasta Morris : rum indeed. We’re trying the first two bottlings, a Foursquare 2004 (Barbados) and Caroni 1997 (Trinidad).
If you get your hands on a bottle, be sure to check the back of the label as well (through...

Glenallachie Distillery Edition
Even though Glenallachie was an established high-capacity distillery, part of the Pernod Ricard group and supplying blends like Passport and 100 Pipers, they didn’t have an official bottling in recent years until this Glenallachie Distillery Edition came by. It’s a lower-end no age statement bottling that is found in many supermarkets around the UK.
It then came as a bit of a surprise (or perhaps not) that a few months after this first bottling the distillery was sold to Billy Walker and friends (ex-BenRiach, GlenDronach and Glenglassaugh). The distillery is now named The GlenAllachie (ha) and we’re keen to find...

New: Aberlour Casg Annamh / Highland Park Valknut / GlenAllachie single casks
Aberlour Casg Annamh
majbe old news, but I hadn’t heard of it until it popped up at Master of Malt a few days ago. Apparently this is a new Aberlour series, a possible attempt to replicate the success of A’Bunadh.
Casg Annamh means ‘rare cask’ and the whisky comes from three types of casks: European oak (Oloroso sherry) and two sorts of American oak. This is Batch #0001 (mind the three zeros) so I’m sure many batches will follow. Around € 60.

Old Pulteney 25 Year Old
Old Pulteney 25 Year Old replaces the highly regarded Old Pulteney 21 Years which was phased out recently. It was never my personal favourite though, I always thought the Old Pulteney 17 Years was better and less expensive. Mind that the 17 Year Old will also be phased out, to make place for a new 15 Years and 18 Years later this year.
The first 22 years were spent in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. The single malt then was transferred into Spanish oak ex-oloroso sherry butts for another three years. They stick to the standard 46% ABV.
