The Future of Whisky..........


The future of Whisky is now here in Inverarity121 - 185a Bath Street, Glasgow, Scotland, UK, Europe, The World!!

I might be guilty of some hyperbole in my time but it is your humble blogger's opinion that Kilchoman is the future of whisky -smalll scale, artisan, beautifully created, non-coloured, non-chill filtred and bottled at the right strength.

Kilchoman is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland - a farm distillery none the less, on the beautiful Isle of Islay. They only opened in 2005 and have been causing waves ever since just by making great whisky in a very traditional way.
We have just recived our very first delivery of Kilchoman Winter Release... we got 2 cases in, but there are only 5 bottles left - and we even sold one to a very famous Scottish Celebrity - let's hope he drinks it! The collector in me wants to buy the rest and put them away - imagine buying an Ardbeg bottled four years after the distillery was founded. The whisky lover in me wants to buy the rest and drink it (responsibly) as there is so much flavour in there for such a young whisky. The peat dominates but in the glass there are some fantastic notes of nuts and vanilla essence and the finish just goes on and on. It is no wonder this is my main drink when at the bar of the Port Charlotte Hotel.

Come in and see us before we run out.......
