Uncle Ralph, please go wash your mouth ... surely you know that the words
'pure' and 'malt' are not allowed to be adjacent in a sentence any more?

So repeat after me: BLENDED malt, BLANDED malt, BLANTED malt, VLANTED malt,
VLATTED malt, VATTED malt .... oops, can I borrow your bar of soap?

Greetings all.

There is a story that the Edrington are intending vigorously enforce a
policy of not releasing attributable casks outside the group. All casks
will, from some time in the very near future, be "teaspooned". No more IB
bottlings. Suppression of trade.

Is there a "work-around"?

OK, so they "teaspoon" a cask. Is it a fair guess that teaspooning will not
alter the essential characteristics in any noticeable way?
Suppose you were to create a new class of whisky, the Teaspoon series.
For example, you can get a "Pure Malt" from a teaspooned cask of Macallan,
18 yo from a sherry butt. You declare the usual details, and include the
fact that it has been teaspooned from an unknown distillery.
Think of the interest that such bottlings would generate.
I predict the following:
1) The punters will buy.
2) It will establish a new category of whisky.
3) Your access to potential stock is enhanced.
4) Lots to gossip about, lots of interest.

Offer me a teaspooned pure malt with semi believable tasting notes, I'll
give it a whirl.

At the far reaches of wild thought, it might even generate a "spoiled cod
fish" trade effect!!

Ralph
