New release - Cardhu 15 years old

This whisky has just been released on to the UK market and is the older sibling of the popular Cardhu 12 years old.  The brand is relatively difficult to find in the UK, despite being in the world's Top 10 for single malt sales.  The majority of the whisky released is exported to southern Europe - Spain is the main market and it is also popular in France, Greece, Italy and Portugal. This 'new' 15 years old has been available in selected European markets for some time, but now is its time to go global.

The Speyburn Clan Cask pub quiz - Results

Last week we set you a challenge.  Many of you responded to the challenge.  The prize was a bottle of the rare Speyburn 1975 Clan Cask which had been kindly donated by the guys at Inver House Distillers to help celebrate Whisky For Everyone's 5th birthday.  To win a £230 bottle of whisky required some work and to this end, we devised the Speyburn Clan Cask pub quiz.  The quiz consisted of three rounds which ran over three days - one on general knowledge, one multiple choice and one picture quiz round.  All the answers were linked to Speyburn.

Distillery visit - Glenglassaugh

Welcome to Glenglassaugh

The Glenglassaugh distillery (pronounced glen-glas-sow) is located on the east Highland coast, close to the village of Portsoy and about 50 miles north west of Aberdeen. It was founded in 1875 by local businessman James Moir and his two nephews, Alexander and William Morrison, and their whisky quickly became popular with the large whisky blending companies. Glenglassaugh was historically used in blends such as Famous Grouse and Cutty Sark. The distillery went on to have an intermittent history with three long periods of closure between 1908-1931, 1936-1957 and 1986-2008.
