In the center of the Speyside at the northern slope of the same-named mountain at the height of the 250 meters the distillery Benrinnes, which was named Lyne of Ruthrie and found in 1835. It has a special character: It owns a wash still that divides the low wines. First the low wines are piped into the spirit still number two before they get to spirit number one. Their distillate is burnt a second time then, therefore there is practiced a very special kind of three time distillation. The water that is used comes from Scurrn and Rowentree Burns.

Strathclyde 1987 Whiskytrail Knights – 46%

Alexander Gutermann — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 14:11:16 +0000

With The Whisky Trail, the independent bottler Elixir Distillers brings together casks that take connoisseurs off the beaten whisky track. As part of the trail, only whiskies with outstanding characteristics are bottled. Or chivalrous, as in the current Knights series. The four single casks show their best side in keeping with their status: neither chill-filtered nor coloured, but instead eye-catching and full of strength and flavour.
Single grain from Strathclyde is so popular with Scotland's whisky blenders that it is rarely found as an independent bottling in a single cask. Like the Strathclyde 1987/2022, this 35-year-old single grain from Glasgow develops delicious notes of orange jelly, buttermilk and whipped cream alongside vanilla cream and cake batter.

Teaninich 2007 Whisky Trail #700145 – 56,6%

Alexander Gutermann — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 14:05:36 +0000

Teaninich was founded in 1817 and is located in the Highlands. It was closed in 1985, but since 1991 production is running again.

Whether sherry casks from Spanish bodegas, strong wine casks from Madeira, port pipes from Portugal, barrique casks from Europe’s top vintners, casks from Caribbean rum distilleries or bourbon casks from the USA: Murray McDavid sources casks directly from the producers. The wood treasure has become the trademark of the renowned independent bottler. Founded in 1994 by Mark Reynier (current CEO of Waterford and Renegade), Simon Coughlin and Gordon Wright (Springbank Distillery), Murray McDavid quickly made a name for itself with post-maturations in the exquisite casks. The team is also known for taking over and “saving” the Bruichladdich Distillery.

But Murray McDavid’s home is the disused Coleburn Distillery in Speyside. The bottlings are matured in the traditional Dunnage warehouse between low, but thick walls and on a clay floor. Single malt and grain whisky, vatted malts and blended whisky appear in different series. Their heart: Benchmark. Only first-class single malts find their way into the turquoise-labelled bottles.
