Another one! Glenburgie, up at Kinloss, where the Airbase is. Near Forres. I just bought quite an old bottle of this, as a Single Malt product, for someone, as a present. At it's a Distillery that usually goes into a blend (there are rather a lot of these) you don't get the Distillery owner bottling it, as a 'Single Malt' product. It's always Independent Bottlers who do this. As one of the main Independent Bottlers is now stopping bottling other people's Scotch and is moving into their own Distilleries, will this mean these super-rare Scotch Whiskies will become really valuable? I hope so! Independent Bottlings MIGHT fizzle-out but we have a massive amount of 'stock' (probably 60 million Casks, nobody is prepared to say but due to Duty reasons, they definitely know! ) in Scotland. So, it will take a long time for this Industry to end! For sure, the established Independent Bottlers have found it impossible to buy truly excellent 'Old and Rare' Scotch from what ostensibly are their Competitors now but this won't be the same for (still excellent) Scotch, that's about 10 years old, or less. As it's constantly replenishing, it might never end! The debate goes on, nobody really knows. However, you wouldn't be started your own place, if you were guaranteed an unending supply chain. When you (well, probably just me) think of 10-year-old Scotch, you don't think of a Product distilled in 2012/13, yikes! 21 year old, the 'sweet spot' for Scotch (well I think so!) is now a 21st-Century product! There's A LOT of it! And there's more getting made, every year. The potential Market's vast. Several billion people. #ScotchWhiskyTruths

Calabash Model In Yoruba land, calabash is called "Igbá". It has many uses, but the one I'm more familiar with is it's use in drinking a local palm wine, called "Emu". Nothing gives you better thrill and enjoyment of the palm wine than when sipped off these gourds.

Whisky is more than a spirit, it is a tale told by the distiller that captures centuries of tradition in each golden drop. It embodies culture, heritage and the meticulous artistry of those who have dedicated their lives to sharing expressions of sheer excellence with the world. Throughout whisky’s venerable history, a few select bottles have emerged that surpass mere enjoyment, elevating to become landmarks in a storied tradition, legacies immortalized in glass. The Glenfarclas Pagoda Series is one such monumental creation, weaving together the threads of impeccable craftsmanship, family legacy and unrivaled quality. It is not merely a whisky; it is a tribute to the profound depths of distillation and a celebration of the prolific history of a distillery that has graced the world with exceptional spirits since 1836. Each exquisite bottle showcases the pursuit of excellence that is a cornerstone at Glenfarclas, a manifestation of unparalleled mastery in whisky creation.

Foiled again?! Last year, to the surprise of some, wirehoods and foils on Champagne were no longer required by law. Since then the UMC (Union des Maisons de Champagne) and AOC Champagne rules have insisted on them. Enter Michel Chapoutier, the Rhone wine merchant. Just as he was launching champagnes under his own name, he controversially suggested that wirehoods and foils had nothing to do with quality, and should be abandoned, citing corporate responsibility. There are cogent arguments for ditching foils and wirehoods. From an ecological point of view, it obviates unnecessary waste. Economically, it avoids a cost of aluminium –  which is pricier than it used to be. Cynics might suggest that foils usefully hide uneven fill heights (which would just be a deceit on the consumer). It is interesting that just as artisanal Australian Riesling producers are eschewing screwcaps in favour of corks and beeswax for environmental reasons, fizz could choose to do the same. In fact, before 1850 corks were covered with wax or tar to protect them. Such suggestion has not gone down well with the champagnois who consider the wirehoods and foils to be iconic. They are outraged. M. Chapoutier had poured a red wine without a ‘headdress’ at the launch. Having secured media interest in his new champagne range, he returned to the Rhone reassuring everyone that it was just his personal view. Is this a serious point? Is it a masterclass in self-publicity at a product launch? Who knows? My grandmother always used to say ‘If you want to get ahead get a hat’. Does that apply if you’re a bottle of fizz?

LATEST NEWS: It’s said that with age, one becomes more oneself. To which you might reply—sure, what other choice is there? The more intriguing idea is whether the same applies to Scotch. The answer, in a dram, is yes. Highland Park’s 54-year-old single malt, the oldest and rarest whisky they have ever produced - https://lnkd.in/ez7TD2PN #Whisky #WhiskyInvestment #CaskInvestment #RareWhisky

https://lnkd.in/ew8AtdBE While the market keeps saying the sky is falling for Burgundy, it's not across the board. The ultra rare wines have lost some value, like the example of Rousseau stated in the article, not all wines have corrected. Yes, many Grand Cru's seem to have hit the glass ceiling for the moment. AWI believes the correction has stabilized and is part and parcel of a cycle. Now may be a time to buy, and regarding selling, prices are still above where they were 2 years ago. Funny thing, most auction houses say the market is fantastic even during these times with them hitting record prices on a few gems... The smart investor & collector does the research, understands the values and what each channel in the secondary market can offer.
