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

So Davin, what would be the percentage of orange juice in such a blend?

Hi All,

We already have teaspooned malts here in Canada.  There is a Toronto firm - Premium Bottlers - that imports single casks of single malt Scotch, but the LCBO requires that they add about 1% Canadian single malt at bottling.  I have not tasted these but I understand some of them are really very good, which shows that the Canadian Single Malt (Glen Breton, no doubt) does not influence the taste.

>From their web-site:

Our Pure Malt Whisky selections are all limited edition offerings. We only acquire one or two casks of Single Malt Scotch Whisky, to which we add a minute amount of Single Malt Canadian Whisky. Each offering is uniquely different from the others. Only a few hundred bottles exist of each release.
See our range of Pure Malt Whisky products here.   http://www.premiumbottlers.com/products.php

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.

Absolutely!

And think of how many bottles of imprinted water you can bottle and sell from this one cask ....

...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 ....

Hey Ralph,

great idea - could be a hype like finishing !

Macallan teaspooned with Glenlossie
Macallan teaspooned with Linkwood

Premium-Teaspooning

Highland Park teaspooned with Springbank

Bunnahabhain teaspooned with Rosebank and finished in south hungarian white
wine cask formerly used to mature white rum (my favourite ;-))

Endless opportunities...

Looking forward to it (Nah - not really...)
Michael

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
