Last Autumn, the leading Scottish independent bottling company of Gordon & MacPhail launched a new campaign to show the importance of casks in the whisky maturation process - The Wood Makes The Whisky. It highlights the most important part of their business and is supported by a dedicated website and a selected number of whiskies, which have been bottled to demonstrate the various sections within the campaign.
In Part One of this blog post, we looked at the ideas and concepts behind the campaign. In this part we sample some of the whiskies that Gordon & MacPhail have released to demonstrate the various points within the campaign. These include combinations of different ages, styles, cask wood types and cask sizes to show how all can effect a whisky.
