Let’s take a look into the magic process of whisky production.

This thing is called a still and each distillery has this equipment.

They differ in size and shape and are always made from copper. There are two of them – a wash still and a spirit still.

The process happening inside these copper pipes is called distillation and is vital for producing alcohol itself.

The principle of distillation was already known to the ancient Egyptians.

Different evaporation points allow for the separation of substances by heating.

The substances that evaporate first at low temperatures may be collected and separated from the rest. But the Egyptians used distillation only for producing perfume.

Only in the middle ages Celtic monks discovered the production of whisky - the water of life.

The process is long and each stage is crucial while the result can be different from time to time as well as the amount of produced alcohol.
That Very Old Bottle.

In the world of whisky there take place quite a number of auctions and the main heroes are those bottles which have the most unique qualities out of all.

In 2015, the renowned independent bottler out of Elgin, Scotland released the world’s oldest single malt. 75-year-old Mortlach single malt was kept during all these years in the first-filled sherry cask resulted in a 44.4% ABV whisky with a brilliant auburn luster and exceptional notes of rancio and candied plums.

The gem was put in a crystal decanter in a form of a tear and was sold for a little bit over $30,000. The sum matches its uniqueness and is said to be fair.

Well, some people can say it is the sum to buy a nice car but we know that nothing brings much pleasure and satisfaction than a 75-year- old single malt in your collection.
Nowadays a lot of events including whisky ones take place online, for example tasting. And it seems to be a great step into the future.

Last time we discussed the process of distillation but today the hero of the hour is a much simpler and simultaneously special event – a tasting at the distillery.

Almost all distilleries provide tours for both just tourists and whisky connoisseurs to show them around and explain all the processes.

Besides these a kind of educational tours there are tasting events.

It’s a good way to learn how to evaluate whisky and tell the difference between various types, to feel these unique flavours because literally each distillery has its own whisky peculiarities.

Those visitors who are ready to start their collection or to extend it can have their eyes on the whisky ready to be bottled and get a nice bottle afterwards.

Once we’ve already spoken about barley in whisky production but now it’s time to learn about the perfect one for distilleries (spoiler: it’s the barley from Scotland, of course).

However distilleries do really consider the Scottish barley to be the best, there is just not enough grown in Scotland.

So, distilleries import some amount from England, Europe or even the USA.

The distilleries seek for grains big in size and with good potential to germinate.

Also the barley that is easily malted is preferable. There is a strong subdivision in the season of the barley growth and the spring-barley is mostly used.

Barley is graded on a scale of 1-9 for quality and grain size and only the top three grades are suitable for whisky industry.

Barley varieties have poetic names such as Triumph, Moonshine and Odyssey.
Those who do not like whisky end up in this big cauldron being boiled for their sins!

Well, actually it is a special washback that is used for the process of fermentation.

The result of the previous stage of mashing the malt is a sugar solution called wort.

To convert this sugar into alcohol a fermentation progress is necessary and therefore yeast has to be added. Then chemistry works well.

Traditional washbacks are made of wood, because it is an organic material and an ideal host for bacteria.

Therefore wooden wachbacks must be cleaned very carefully that can be problematic in a way.

So, many distilleries use stainless still and claim it to be better for the production, but there is one argument for wooden washback that can beat any other – they really look better in our eyes and fit into our ideas of traditional whisky-making.

Just look at this amazing decor!

We adore steampunk style and just could not miss the opportunity to present you this outstanding Argentinean bar – Victoria Brown Bar in the Palerno neighborhood of Buenos Aires.

The walls are brick and old pipes run across the ceiling and some of the walls, and what looks like old drums play a role of lamp shades. Metal elevator cages serve as dividers for some of the seating and the wooden tables and large chairs definitely add a Victorian era feeling to the bar. There are even high factory style windows providing light to the interior of the bar.

But besides these overwhelming decorations the bar offers a nice variety of classic Scotch whisky that any connoisseur would appreciate. It must be a true pleasure to spend an evening in this bar!
Whisky investment is a great opportunity to enlarge one’s fortune, to create a personal brand or just to join a respected community.

So there are certain principles both experienced and novice investors would better follow.

- Choose wisely.

Being an undoubtedly steady one, whisky market still has more and less perspective casks.

So while choosing one an investor should analyze all the prospects and usually the best way is to address to specialists.

- Collaborate.

It is always more beneficial to work with special organizations.

They offer a great choice between distilleries, brands, types and years that makes the casks search quicker and more productive.

- Keep.

Ideally, a cask should mature at the distillery where it was produced.

But after purchasing it, a customer is given advice to trust companies with special storages and let them keep it inside with all the necessary conditions.
An old saying “old but gold” is definitely about this amazing bottle. We present you Laphroaig 1960 Vintage Reserve 40 Year Old.

A vintage sample is famous for many reasons and one of them is its distillation by Bessie Williamson who was the first female distillery manager of the 20th century.

Those who were lucky to try that rare release claim it to be elegant and mellow, silky and slightly salty. Seeing this description we almost feel how softly it swirls around mouth, front to back, side to side.

Just perfect 🥃
We admire everyone who admires whisky as much as we do. That is why we could not ignore this outstanding place – The Diageo Archive.

Hidden in a small Scottish village of Menstrie this archive keeps its collection of bottles of all shapes and sizes, all paying homage to drinks multinational Diageo’s library of brands.

The archive has its name for a reason: there is a team of six archivists to dig deep into the history books, tracking down pieces and bottles that can’t be found anywhere else. They gather only the rarest samples so each bottle is examined thoroughly before taking its place inside.

The most interesting piece is an 1870 bottle of Old Highland, the brand that became Johnnie Walker Red Label. It arrived at the archive complete with a snake inside the bottle that had been pickled in its contents. Nobody knows how the creature turned out in the bottle but it is definitely not for nervous visitors.
When buying a bottle or investing into casks one can hear following words: mellow, creamy, smooth, fruit, rich, powerful, robust, heavy.

All of them regard to whisky taste but what one person likes may not appeal to another.

So after the process of purchasing whisky an investor should try a sample from their own cask in order to understand its prospects and peculiarity.

It is important to do so because it gives a better understanding of what has been bought. To fulfill customers’ needs brokers send samples from the owner’s cask.

We follow this rule and provide our customers with samples since we want them to be sure each our cask is a true treasure and they did not waste money.

Should you desire to own your cask contact us to Direct and we provide you with all the necessary information.
What a rare treasure we prepared for you today!
