[MM-MALTS-L] Teaspooned IB Single Casks from named distilleries

Thu Jul 10 11:41:32 CEST 2008

The pros of marketing a teaspoon series of malt nonwithstanding, this is sad news. I doubt that Edrington will release a large number of single cask bottlings as substitutes for the loss of the IB bottlings. The SC actually released will probably be in the high end of the pricescale as well. Rivers of milk drying up indeed...

Actually, following their reasoning, it wouldn't make sober people drunk; it would make drunk people sober. 

A number of years ago, I think it was Cooley who poured that one of the last remaining bottle Preston Malt into a cask of Cooley single malt whiskey and called it Preston Millennium Malt, Single Malt Whiskey. Of course it wasn't a single malt, since the poured whiskey from another distillery into it. And they wasted one of the last remaining bottle of Preston Malt.

...and then dilute it one million times with water. Advocates of this homeopathic whisky will still insist you can get drunk on it.

And double-teaspooning!First, take a cask of distillery X and teaspoon it with distillery Y. THEN take a teaspoon of that and add it to a cask of distillery Z!And you can continue this until there basically is no molecule of the first teaspoon left in the final cask, which of course means it then has the strongest effect as the whisky has a memory which remembers the first addition!Or so I'm told ....

All caskswill, from some time in the very near future, be "teaspooned". No more IBbottlings. Suppression of trade.Is there a "work-around"?OK, so they "teaspoon" a cask. Is it a fair guess that teaspooning will notalter 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 thefact 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'llgive it a whirl.At the far reaches of wild thought, it might even generate a "spoiled codfish" trade effect!!Ralph--------------------------------------------------------------------
