Last month I was given the opportunity to visit Sc Last month I was given the opportunity to visit Scotland to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of @glen_moray_whisky . During my visit, I received a warm welcome by @emma__ware , the Visitor Center Assistant Manager, I learned in detail the process of whisky making by @glen_moravian , the Head of Whisky Creation, heard the story of Glen Moray from @iain_g_allan , the Global Brand Ambassador. When I got a call from @whiskymonster to join him for an event at @bar_jackalope to chat with a group of whisky enthusiasts of the different Glen Moray expressions, talk about my experience at the distillery, the variances in the different casks used, and how certain changes in the process in the whisky making could impact the flavor and complexity of the whisky, I felt honored and humbled. What surprised me more was, friends from @sfwbss were down in LA and joined us for the event. Here’s an unedited video of me captured by @justinpak during the event. Swipe right to see the various pictures from the distillery from my visit as we celebrated #GlenMoray125Years .As Glen Moray are known to be #CaskExplorersForever and have matured whiskies in different casks, we had the opportunity to fill a Madeira cask with new make. Video to the right -> The show of support from the whisky community always warms my heart. Here’s to meeting old friends & making new ones. 📷: @thecharredcask 📷: @angusmclennanphoto 📷: @millietang . . . #GlenMoray125Years #CaskExplorersForever #whisky #scotch #elgin #castle #speyside #glenmoray #scotland #highlands #lowlands   #madeira #distillery #brandambassador #glenmoraydistillery
Sound on! This is what happens when you visit @fer Sound on! This is what happens when you visit @feritgur at the @highlandwhiskyshop . He welcomes you like a long lost friend, shares delicious drams and plays fantastic music. @highlandwhiskyshop is definitely a must visit when in Inverness. . . . #highlandwhisky #highlands #lowlands #whisky #whiskyshop #inverness #friends #sofietukker #wettennis #music #drams #sundayfun
If you were listening to the @smwsamerica live str If you were listening to the @smwsamerica live stream earlier today, the answer to the last question in the trivia is Kaleidoscope! I had a chance to visit @smws_queenstreet twice last week and absolutely loved it. They not only have plenty of delicious drams, martini’s, cocktails and scrumptious food as well. Oysters, haggis, fish & chips, and much more. At the end of the night, you might find yourself escaping with a few bottles as well, like @thecharredcask did! It is an absolute must to visit when in Edinburgh. Slainté! . . . #smws #smwsuk #kaleidoscope #smwsqueenstreet #whisky #singlecask #bar #martini #oyster #cocktail #haggis

First distillery stop we had on our visit to #scot First distillery stop we had on our visit to #scotland was @dewarsaberfeldy . Unfortunately we reached at a time where we could not do a full distillery tour. However the staff were wonderful and let us roam the museum. The smell of yeast and malted barley right when you walk in is something I will never forget. . . . @aberfeldy @dewars #aberfeldy #distillery #speyside #highlands #malt #whisky #barley #museum #distillerytour

What better way to celebrate the 125th anniversary What better way to celebrate the 125th anniversary of @glen_moray_whisky than at a castle in Scotland? Pair that with delicious whisky, scrumptious food, watching @millietang play the piano, and seeing @thecharredcask work his magic.

The last few days have been spent celebrating the The last few days have been spent celebrating the 125th anniversary of Glen Moray and learning more about their dunnage warehouse. We had a chance to visit warehouse 1 where they showcase and store a variety of casks. This particular bottling of a 12 years has been finished in a PX cask and is exclusively available at the distillery to celebrate the anniversary. A must visit when you come to Speyside. 📷: @thecharredcask . . . #GlenMoray125Years #CaskExplorersForever #cask #glenmoray #glenmoraywhisky #caskwarehouse #rickhouse #photography

Todays been a good day! Had my new @recteq_officia Todays been a good day! Had my new @recteq_official grill delivered today. But more so than that, I strolled in to Bevmo this morning. And to my surprise, they had the new @compassboxwhiskyco #Vellichor sitting on the shelf. If you know the #maltfather, you know that I had to get it. After assembling the grill, it needed to do a 1hr burn out. Perfect time to pour a dram (or 3) of the Vellichor. My notes: Nose: preserved fruits, apples and peaches Palate: the highland park peak shines through. Caramalized toffee with almost dark chocolate. Hints of peat and smoke, with the fruitinesses of the Macallan. Finish: a little short. Does not last long, but is sweet, reminds me of a bite of apple pie. Overall, for a 44.6%abv, with the various older whiskies in it, it is delicious. A little too easy to drink. Here’s what it comprises of, limited to 3,246 bottles. 12.1% Macallan // First Fill Bourbon Barrel 23 YO 38.9% Highland Park // Recharred Hogshead 25 YO 4.1% Caol Ila // Refill Hogshead 37 YO 29.3% Blended Malt // Refill Sherry Butt 26 YO 15.6% Blended Scotch // Refill Hogshead 25 YO
#maltmonday with a delicious Compass Box Menagerie #maltmonday with a delicious Compass Box Menagerie. Maybe it's #MenagerieMonday. I'm reminded again and again about why I frequent and love Compass Box blends. Menagerie is something that will fool your sense. Its a blend? How can it be so complex? Blends are supposed to be "smooth" & meh, with unnoticeable traces of anything. Not this one, not at all. Compass Box Menagerie Bottled at 46% ABV. A limited-edition of 7,741 bottles. The Blend: Mortlach Distillery (Recharred barrel): 42.7% Deanston Distillery (refilled hogshead): 14.6% Deanston Distiller (Refill sherry-seasoned Butt): 2.5% Highland malt blend (Custom French Oak barrel): 16.7% Glen Elgin Distillery (Recharred barrel): 13.1% Glen Elgin Distillery (Refill sherry-seasoned Butt): 5% Laphroaig Distillery (Recharred Hogshead): 5.4% Nose: The first nose reminds me of freshly tanned leather or that fine napa leather in your luxury car. It has that outdoor nature smell but a delicate feeling of being in a botanical garden. Further nose takes me on an early evening stroll n an open land smelling spring flowers and hearing the birds chirp. You start walking towards the shore of a calm lake. Palate: The first sip reminds me of a meaty meal. Mediterranean roasted lamb with hints of raisins. Letting it open slightly increases the complexity, and you might just taste peach pie with a lightly torched meringue icing and caramelized lemon peels. Most likely from that small parcel of Laphroaig Finish: The finish lingers on. I get Orange cream soda, a citrus starburst with a hint of honey, like crystalized sugar on a sour patch. #compassbox #compassboxwhisky #menagerie #blendedwhisky #whisky #whiskey #scotch #singlemalt #laphroaig #mortlach #glenelgin #deanston #sfwbss #maltfather #compassboxmenagerie #menagerie #animals #wildanimals #flowers #forest
