Aultmore was founded in 1896 by Alexander Edward a

Aultmore was founded in 1896 by Alexander Edward and is also located in Speyside. The original distillery was demolished and completely rebuilt in 1970 and sits in a secluded spot shrouded by mystery and thick misty fog.

In the olden days of illicit distilling, the tax man would often miss the distillery due to the fog and the conveniently painted white walls. Additionally, during the 20th century, local fishermen from Buckie, a town 10km north of Aultmore, would ask for a nip of the “Buckie Road” at inns and bars along the way. This was the secret name for Aultmore Single Malt whisky and the same words are now embossed at the bottom of the whisky bottle.

Today, Aultmore is fondly associated with Dewar’s Blended Scotch whisky and the surrounding fog and the mossy landscape in which the distillery sits has given rise to the whisky’s fond nickname of Aultmore of the Foggie Moss.

The taste is very pleasant. It's sweet, vanilla like and sweet fruit like melon with oak spice flavours in the after taste. Quite a nice dram. Try it in our lounge... https://www.thegablesbb.co.uk

Guests told me, after visiting the GlenAllachie Di

Guests told me, after visiting the GlenAllachie Distillery, that there was a new botteling of the Chinquapin Single Cask 2008! So I rushed over to Karen to get one of those, as the previous bottle your own Chinquapin was amazing. Popped it right open and again wasn't dissappointed, but... it's different. The bottle your own is still my favourite. This cracker is 13 years old and was bottled in July 2021 at 58.3%. It's a Gremlin... don't add water! 😉

The taste I find difficult to describe at some point as it's very different from other cask. There's sweet flavours like butterscotch, vanilla, fig, some spices and again honey sweetness and tropical fruit. I love it! Want to compare the two? Both are available in our lounge to try! https://www.thegablesbb.co.uk

Another great release of @thewhiskycellars. This Glen Elgin is 13 years old and was bottled at 52.5% ABV. Finished in Sauternes Wine Casks this is an amazing dram I can say. The team of TWC has worked their magic on this one! And again limited, so haste you to @thewhiskycastle. They might still have one. 😉 The taste is butterscotch, oakiness and sweet fruit and nuttiness. Again, only one available in our lounge for you to try. Once gone it's gone. https://www.thegablesbb.co.uk

A distillery expermenting with casks? Well, the first that comes to my mind is @glenmorangie. This release is called Spios and was fully matured on ex-Rye casks. The taste is like nothing I had before. Love it or hate it, but I enjoyed this dram very much. Spios is Gaelic and means 'spice'. And spicy it is. Sweet and spicy. Anise, butterscotch. I love it. It's a limited private edition. Still available in our lounge for you to try. https://www.thegablesbb.co.uk

It is today, that the 25 year old Jamie Macpherson

It is today, that the 25 year old Jamie Macpherson got hung in Banff in 1700, for being a Gypsy and bringing a weapon to the market. He was known to many as a freebooter, a Robin Hood. But after being captured on a market, after a woman threw a blanket over him, he was brought to Banff. The story that is told is that the clock was put forward 10 minutes so his pardon would not arrive in time. Jamie was hung on 16 November 1700. While in jail he wrote a song that is know as Macphersons Rant.

According to folklore telling the clock that hung Macpherson was brought to the Dufftown Clock Tower. But there's no evidence for this and the Clock Tower in Dufftown was built more than 100 years after Jamie’s execution. The clock is now said to be on display in @clanmacphersonmuseum in Newtonmore.

This is the latest edition of the Glenlivet Storie

This is the latest edition of the Glenlivet Stories range. The story tells George Smith, the founder of the @theglenlivetdistillery, rode to Elgin in 1824 to become the first legal distiller. Reason was the Excise act that came into force in 1823. (The document in the picture is the original Excise act).

"This didn’t go down well with the illicit distillers around him and he was told he would burn along with his distillery."

The Licensed Dram is the follow up of the Illicit Still. And although I like the sound of the Illicit Still, I think the Licensed Dram tastes better. There's more going on in the latest. Melon and green fruit, sweet honey and nutty flavours. Bottled at 48% and for a reasonable price. You don't want to miss this one. Available in our lounge to try: https://www.thegablesbb.co.uk
