Bij de voorgaande pagina

IIt’s all about the light... Fotograferen is schrijven met licht, maar wat als er (bijna) geen licht is? Als de hemel diep-grauw is en kleuren verdwijnen? Dan kan je natuurlijk een flitser gebruiken,

maar voor landschapsfotografie biedt dat geen soelaas. Het enige dat er op zit is ... wachten. Of een andere keer terugkomen, natuurlijk.

Lekker, duurzaam en diervriendelijk vlees eten kan!

In dit geval was terugkomen geen optie, want mijn verblijf op Skye, in februari, liep ten einde. Wachten dus, op wat het licht zou doen. De compositie was bepaald, en

dus stonden we daar, mijn vriend Tim Wilcock (Skye-based photographer) en ik. In storm en regenvlagen, twee uur lang. Het liep tegen donker (dat wil zeggen - het

werd nog donkerder) toen opeens de hemel openbrak en één straal zonlicht stuurdedoor het gat in het dikke wolkendek. Precies op de rots die als golfbreker dienst deed, met de beroemde Cuillins op de achtergrond.

Hoeveel geluk kan je hebben als fotograaf? Veel meer niet, lijkt me. Zeker niet toen bij de nabewerking bleek dat er ook nog een stukje regenboog op stond. Geduld, kou, natte kleren en het eindeloos de regenkap op/afdoen - alles is dan vergeten!

5 things about Scotland 5 Things you didn’t know about Scotland Tartan: Scotland’s Famous Patterned Woven Textile It’s the most recognizable pattern associated with Scotland. Tartan consists of “interwoven vertical and horizontal lines, known as a sett,” according to Scotland’s National Tourism Organisation. The pattern is seen on shirts, kilts and other clothing.

April 6 Commemorates the Signing of Arbroath in 1320 The Declaration of Arbroath, a declaration of Scottish independence, was signed on

April 6, 1320. Scottish barons and earls then sent the declaration, in the form of a

letter, to Pope John XXII to assert Scotland’s status as an independent state. It also asked the pontiff to recognize “Robert the Bruce as the country’s lawful king,” accord-

ing to the National Records of Scotland. The American Declaration of Independence was modeled after the Declaration of Arbroath.

In the United States, the Senate passed a resolution in 1998 to designate April 6 as “National Tartan Day.”

“Whereas this resolution honors the major role that Scottish Americans played in the

founding of this nation, such as the fact that almost half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent, the governors in nine of the original

13 States were of Scottish ancestry, Scottish Americans successfully helped shape this country in its formative years and guide this nation through its most troubled times.” the resolution said.

In 2005, the House passed similar resolution. Tartan: de Whisky Tartan

About Scotland vervolg “Auld Lang Syne” Is a Traditional Scottish Song It’s the tune that New Year’s Eve revelers love to belt out. Written by poet Robert

Burns in 1788, the song was set to a traditional Scottish folk melody. “Auld Lang Syne” literally means “old long since,” according to Scotland’s official government site.

Below is the original Scots version of Auld Lang Syne: 1. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days o’ auld lang syne.

Chorus And for auld lang syne, my jo, For auld lang syne,

We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, For auld lang syne,

2. And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp! And surely I’ll be mine!

And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, For auld lang syne.

3. We twa hae run about the braes And pu’d the gowans fine;

But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot Sin auld lang syne.

Not all Bagpipes: From Snow Patrol to Idlewild to Susan Boyle While Scottish music is often associated with bagpipes, there are several artists who

hail from or got their start in Scotland, including “Britain’s Got Talent’s” Susan Boyle,

Scottish/Northern Irish band Snow Patrol, rock band Big Country and indie band Frightened Rabbit.

Pitlochry & Blair Atholl Pipe Band

Gaelic Still Alive in Scotland While English is still the main language spoken in Scotland, there more than 150

other languages spoken, including the ancient Celtic language of Gaelic. According to the “Attitudes Toward the Gaelic Language” study in 2011, 80 percent of the Scot-

tish population was “aware of Gaelic being used in Scotland, with highest awareness

of Gaelic usage in the media (61percent).” Another 39 percent mentioned Gaelic used in education. Gaelic is also used in transportation signage.

Visit Scotland Romantisch februari Wat te doen in februari? Februari is een fantastische maand voor de wintersport en het spectaculaire winterlandschap van Schotland. Ontdek wat er allemaal te doen is in februari.

Gastronomie in februari In februari wordt Valentijnsdag gevierd, de ideale gelegenheid om elkaar te verwen-

nen met heerlijke Schotse gerechten! Proef verse oesters uit Loch Fyne of het Isle of Skye, of geniet van heerlijke langoustines op hun best. Mosselen komen deze maand aan het einde van hun seizoen, terwijl de wilde zalmtijd juist begint. Proef het eens op een bed van knapperige en smakelijke wintersla.

Als u een waarlijk luxe dinerervaring wilt meemaken, kunt u geen betere keuze

doen dan een van de restaurants met Michelinster in Schotland. Er zijn in totaal 15

bekroonde restaurants met de heerlijkste gerechten en een onberispelijke service

overal in het land, van Martin Wishart en Castle Terrace in Edinburgh tot de Peat

Inn in Fife en Kinloch Lodge op het schitterende Isle of Skye. Zoetekauwen zullen

genieten van de bijzondere traktaties van Iain Burnett, die bekend staat als de

Highland Chocolatier. Zijn stijlvolle winkel in Grantully in Perthshire ligt vol heerlijke

truffels, praliné’s en florentines, en in zijn tweede winkel in St Andrews vindt u de exclusieve Hot Velvet Shot, een decadent cacaodrankje perfect voor koud februariweer.

geniet van het uitstekende Glasgow Youth Film Festival, dat helemaal door jonge

mensen wordt ingevuld. Maak tussen 11 en 15 februari een romantische wande-

ling door het Cambo Estate in Fife, en bewonder de ‘Snowdrops by Starlight’, een van de hoogtepunten van het Schotse sneeuwklokjesfestival. Tijden deze

spectaculaire licht- en geluidsshow wordt het terrein omgetoverd in een sprookjesland. Prachtige installaties in het bos, handgemaakte beelden en honderden

witte winterbloemen. Wie een steviger wandeling en excursies in de buitenlucht

zoekt, zal geïnspireerd worden door het Fort William Mountain Festival. Ga tussen 18 en 22 februari naar deze stad in de Highlands en luister naar fascine-

rende lezingen door fantastische bergbeklimmers en mountain bikers, bekijk de nieuwste documentaires of doe mee met de zware races of de workshops in het nabijgelegen Nevis-gebergte.

Activiteiten in februari In de schitterende Schotse bergen staat u het ultieme winteravontuur te wachten:

Geniet van een spannede ski- en snowboardvakantie in het prachtige landschap

van de Highlands. In Schotland vindt u vijf fantastische skigebieden, elk met groene,

Visit Scotland vervolg standigheden en sneeuwval. En dankzij de moderne sneeuwmachines zijn de skigebieden in de meeste gevallen zelfs nog langer open.

De faciliteiten in de Schotse wintersportbestemmingen doen niet onder voor de rest van Europa. Er zijn bijvoorbeeld speciale skihutten gebouwd met café’s, bars, win-

kels en toiletten. Uitrusting en kleding is ter plekke te huur of bij de onafhankelijke ski en snowboard verhuurders in de omgeving van de wintersportplaatsen.

Bovendien kunt u in alle wintersportplaatsen ski- of snowboardles nemen of uw techniek bijschaven in een veilige omgeving onder het wakend oog van een professio-

nele skileraar. Er zijn allerlei skischolen met speciale aanbiedingen voor freestyle, westrijdskiën en off-piste skiën.

De ski- en snowboardcentra van Schotland liggen dichtbij de grote steden, de

meeste liggen binnen drie uur van Edinburgh en Glasgow. Er gaat een groot aantal

budgetvluchten naar Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen en Inverness, dus een ski- en snowboardvakantie in Schotland is zeer voordelig.

Wildlife in februari De frisse, heldere dagen in dit seizoen zijn ideaal om de meest indrukwekkende

vogels van Schotland te kunnen zien. Veel voorkomende roofvogels, zoals buizerds,

vindt u overal in het land, terwijl de Schotse Highlands en eilanden het ideale woongebied vormen voor de adembenemende steenarend en zeearend.

De zeearend is de grootste roofvogel in Groot-Brittannië en de op drie na grootste

arend ter wereld, met een fenomenaal gezichtsvermogen. Nadat de zeearend in de 19e eeuw werd uitgeroeid in de jacht, is hij onlangs met succes in het wild vrijgelaten in bepaalde delen van Schotland. De kracht en schoonheid van deze vogels maakt niet alleen op fervente vogelkijkers indruk.

Schotland is een wereldbestemming voor liefhebbers van de hengelsport, zowel zoetwater- als zeevissen. Het hele jaar door kunt u deze sport overal in het land fantastisch beoefenen.

Een dagje vissen aan de rivier is een heerlijke manier om van het indrukwekkende

landschap te genieten. He zalmvisseizoen van Schotland wisselt per rivier, maar over het algemeen kunt van 11 januari tot 30 november altijd ergens terecht.

Het officiële forelseizoen loopt van 15 maart t/m 6 oktober, hoewel sommige rivieren in Aberdeenshire en de Highlands open zijn tot 1 april.

Let tijdens het plannen van uw hengelsportvakantie op het volgende: Op zondag is het streng verboden op zalm en meerforel te vissen. Andere vormen van vissen zijn

wel toegestaan, zoals vissen in stilstaand water. Zorg dat u een visvergunning heeft voor u uitwerpt. De rivieren worden meestal beheerd door landeigenaren, hengelsportverengingen en/of commerciële visserijen.

In maart kunt u in de rivier de Tweed vissen met professionele hulp van een “Tweed

Kilts & bagpipes gemaakt volgens Schotse traditie.

Nog een hoogtepunt in maart, dat u zeker niet mag missen, zijn de vele velden met

HET WAPEN VAN SCHOTLAND S C H O T S R E S TAU R A N T

History of the kilt vervolg ban and during the 1800s the kilt evolved into something like what we wear today. This is known in Gaelic as the feileadh beag (philabeg) or little wrap.

The top and bottom parts were separated, the top half (the plaid) being worn over the

shoulder and detachable for comfort. The bottom part was now tailored with sewn in pleats but no hire companies were on the horizon just yet.

Originally the apron of the garment (the front part) was left unattached but one story,

possibly apocryphal, has it that during a visit by Queen Victoria kilt wearers were subHet Wapen van Schotland is een gezellig Schots restaurant in het centrum van Hooghalen waar u kunt genieten van al het goeds dat de Schotse en de Drentse Hooglanden u bieden. U kunt gezellig een aperitiefje nuttigen aan onze typisch Schotse whiskybar met zijn ruime en nog steeds groeiende collectie whisky. Er is ook speciaalbier en Schots bier op de tap! Op onze uitgebreide menukaart vindt u naast traditionale Schotse gerechten zoals: Haggis, stoofschotels, zalm, hert en lamsvlees ook bekende gerechten zoals schnitzel, varkenshaas en spare ribs. Tevens zijn er volop visgerechten.

jected to strong winds revealing to her majesty what was worn underneath! Perhaps that’s why she became so fond of Scotland.

Some say that this event created the demand for the kilt pin, supposedly used to help keep the garment in place, but actually the pin is only a decoration and should not be pinned through the two layers or ‘aprons’ of the Kilt.

The original feileadh mhór was a utility, plaid garment worn only by Highlanders. It

was not used in central or southern parts of Scotland. It consisted of about 6 yards of wool material about two yards wide. The plaid is not to be confused with the American use of the word plaid to describe tartan or checked material.

In Gaelic a plaid is a blanket, not the distinctive checked pattern. Early versions were

available at the time.

The feileadh mór was worn using a complex folding routine. It was first spread on

the ground then the wearer lay on it before folding it round the waist and over the shoulders. It was held in place at the waist using a broad leather belt.


History of the kilt vervolg The top part of the material that was worn over one shoulder left the other arm free to use a sword. It could also be used to wrap around oneself to keep out the cold and

to carry things like the day’s food. In battle it was easy to divest. It only required the belt to be undone for the whole thing to fall away from the body.

The kilt has now become more formal dress wear rather than a practical garment. It is commonly worn in Scotland at occasions like weddings and formal functions and is acceptable on all occasions where one would wear a dinner suit or tuxedo.

It is once more gaining in popularity and most Scottish weddings are now conducted

with the groom, best man and lots of the male guests in kilts, whether these are owned or hired. This is in contrast to many other kinds of traditional wear, even

lounge suits, which are increasingly seen as old-fashioned by today’s trendy young men.

The kilt outfit of your choice is readily available to buy or hire everywhere and the kilt has once again started to evolve, this time into a fashion garment worn at every opportunity by many well known celebrities both Scots and non-Scots.

Many gentlemen can attest to the Kilts ability to make you feel like a million dollars.

As soon as it goes on you feel your chest swell, your spine straightens and you feel four inches taller.

In the last few years the kilt has also been making an appearance as casual wear,

worn with just a traditional, Ghilllie or Jacobean style shirt, a wool sweater or even a

tee shirt. The young men who now wear it this way also wear big socks and hiking boots, which may be frowned upon by traditionalists but it does create an appropriate casual kilt outfit.

Year of Food and Drink 2015 Year of Food and Drink Scotland 2015 is a Scottish Government initiative led in partnership by EventScotland, VisitScotland and Scotland Food & Drink.

The aim of Year of Food and Drink 2015 is to spotlight, celebrate and promote Scotland’s natural larder and quality produce to our people and our visitors and in doing so, further develop Scotland’s reputation as a Land of Food and Drink.

Food and drink is an important part of Scottish cultural identity and heritage and is a key strength in promoting Scotland as a holiday destination.

For example, did you know that 49% of people visiting Scotland want to try local food and two-thirds of Scotland’s visitors think that quality food is an important factor when deciding where to go on holiday?

The main objectives for the Food and Drink Year are: • To increase contribution to the overall value of the sector from tourism and events

• To sustain and build upon the momentum generated by Homecoming Scotland

Ingredients

Ingredients

150ml water

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup whipping (heavy) cream

3 cups water

2 cups Scotch whisky

1/4 cup (3 ounces) honey

500g granulated sugar

1.5ml cream of tartar

90g unsalted (sweet) butter

Oil for greasing a baking tin (pan)

5ml lemon juice

1.5ml vanilla essence (extract)

Method

Method

Put the oats in a nylon straining bag (I use a paint strainer bag from the hardware sto-

re), and place the bag in a deep bowl. Add the water and let the oats steep overnight. The next morning, squeeze the water out of the bag (do not expect to get a return of

3 cups liquid - there will be less), saving the oats for cooking or discard. Put the liquid in a saucepan, add the honey, and heat gently until the honey dissolves. Remove pan from heat and let cool slightly.

Stir in the cream, then add the whisky.

Refrigerate until cool before serving. The beverage will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of months, or in the freezer indefinitely.

If it has a tendency to separate - a vigorous shake will be all it takes to restore it whole.

Well oil an 28cm x 18cm shallow baking tin (pan). Put the water and lemon juice in

a heavy-based saucepan and heat until slightly warm. Stir in the sugar and continue

to heat gently, stirring with awooden spoon, until all the sugar has been thoroughly dissolved. Don’t allow it to boil.

Stir in the cream of tartar and bring to the boil to 115C on a sugar thermometer (or until a teaspoon ful of the mixture forms a soft ball when it is dropped into a cup of cold water.

Remove from the heat and beat in the butter. Return to the heat and boil to 138C or when a teaspoon of the mixture forms a thin thread when dropped into a cup of cold water. (The thread will bend and break when pressed between the fingers)

Remove from the heat and beat in the vanilla essence (extract). Pour into the oiled tin and leave until it is almost set. Then mark into small rectangles with a knife. When it is competely set, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

allemaal worden zij blootgesteld aan de onverzadigbare dorst van de Engelen.

De Engelen nemen wat zij willen, egoïstisch van het ene vat meer genietend dan van het andere, terwijl hardwerkende distillers hun inspanningen

zien verdwijnen. Stel je voor dat jij deel kunt uitmaken van de barmhartigheid van de Engelen.

De Whisky Proevers Scottish Malt Whisky Workshops & Culinary Exclusive

Schotland, het land van de ruige heuvels, het heldere water, de Schotse Kilts, de doedelzak spelers en de Highlandgames maar bovenal het land van de Schotse Malt Whisky. Jaarlijks wordt er ruim 330 miljoen liter levenswater gedistilleerd door meer dan 100 verschillende distilleerderijen. Het land is voor de whiskywereld ingedeeld in verschillende regio’s, de Lowlands, Highlands, Speyside en de Island. Elke streek heeft zijn eigen kenmerken en iedere distilleerderij weer zijn eigen karakter. De veelkleurigheid aan whisky is zodoende erg groot en zeer gewild bij de liefhebbers van Malt Whisky.

Schotse Malt Whisky Proeverij op vrijdag 13 maart 2015 van 19:30 uur tot 22:30 uur

Het rijpen van whisky gebeurt op eikenvaten van verschillende afkomst. Amerikaanse witeiken, de zogenaamde bourbonvaten, Europese eikenvaten, Oloroso sherry-en wijnvaten, zo komen allemaal voorbij. Natuurlijk komt ook de liefhebber van peaty en smoke aan zijn trekken. Een diapresentatie over de smaken, de soorten en het distilleren maakt het geheel compleet. Dit mag je dus echt niet missen! Ook u kunt kennis maken met een ruime selectie van whisky’s uit Schotland. Allen hebben zij het predicaat Schotse Malt Whisky en zijn afkomstig uit de voornoemde regio’s. De Whisky Proevers verzorgen uw Whisky Nosing & Tasting bij u thuis of op lokatie. In de agenda op onze website staat tevens een aantal interessante Nosing & Tastings vermeld, verdeeld over het jaar.

Café De Pompier Nieuw Whiskycafé in Nederland Per januari 2015 voert Café De Pompier in Woerden een mooie whiskykaart. Eigenaar Pike UIttenbogaard kwam in Edinburgh met de klassieke Schotse whisky regio-indeling in aanraking en wilde dit concept in zijn eigen café terug laten komen.

Op de kaart worden de klassieke regio’s vertegenwoordigd door 20 ervoor typerende

whisky’s (en één Nederlandse, de Millstone French Oak) en achter elke whisky staat

een cijfer waarbij de klant uitgelegd wordt dat als men meerdere whisky’s proeft dat gedaan moet worden van het laagste naar het hoogste cijfer. Doeltreffend is er de

mogelijkheid te kiezen voor proefglaasjes van 2 cl. of voor een glas van 3,5 cl. om lekker van een favoriete whisky te genieten.

Tevens is er een naslagwerk gemaakt waarin meer uitleg over de whisky’s en bijbehorende distilleerderijen gegeven wordt.

Het personeel heeft een gedegen introductie in de karakteristieke kenmerken van

whisky gekregen zodat klanten goed geadviseerd kunnen worden en bij de klanten is de whiskykaart met een uitegbreide proeverij geïntroduceerd.

Bent u als whiskyliefhebber eens in de buurt van Café De Pompier in de oude binnenstad van Woerden, stap er dan zeker eens binnen!

and these produce a rich and spicy whisky. These casks deliver a superior product

that has a smooth and well-rounded taste. Being in the Laich O’Moray the distillery Monadhliath Mountains. The distillery’s geographic location and also sitting in a hollow below the water table, means that the warehousing has the perfect conditions

to allow for the Angels to take more of a share of our whisky than they will of others (and, being Angels whisky club we did take a fair swish of the drams Liz and I). Glen

Moray is available in a range of ages and vintages that will appeal to new malt drinkers as well as connoisseurs looking for something a bit more special. Readers, you just cannee believe how low cost GM bottles are, for a bloomin grand dram.

I must point out here, we were NOT driving, we left the car (and goodies) overnight at GM and took a taxi to our hotel. Where, a half hour later we started Christmas - in the

bar. Drinks were followed by dinner, more drinks. To be honest, at 9.15pm I stopped drinking - new laws came into effect Friday, you could not have even ONE drink on your breath - so a bottle of non-alcoholic wine came oot - horrible, so bad after one

glass it went down the pan. We laughingly tried to do some work - paperwork on forthcoming tours, 5 minutes in, we left it alone. Deanston distillery

Speyside distillery A wee story narrated by Paul. Friday December 5th. Liz and Paul where invited up to the distillery for a show around and chat with Distillery Manager Sandy Jamieson. Sandy knew we were coming up and was ready

for us at 11am. We arrived relaxed and looking forward to our meeting, driving down

from Elgin where we had stayed the night before. A beautiful December Friday, a good drive ending up at Kingussie, where we stopped for a wee tea and scone, then driving past Ruthven Barracks down a winding country road, we found the entrance drive.

The Speyside distillery is located in Drumguish, close to Kingussie. We had mentioned our trip to a few people and they were under the impression the distillery would

be in Dufftown, Elgin or similar location - as the name suggested. However, it is

located near the source of the Spey. It produces the Spey single malt and Drumguish

single malt. The distillery was founded in 1962 by George Christie. It was built by hand by George Christie over the next decades, and was finished in 1987. It took

another three years until whisky production started in 1990.

Upon arrival we were greeted by Sandy, a quick chat, then a few quick questions for him, we retired to his office. The two pot stills are some of the smallest in Scotland.

The Glenspey mash tun was the very last one fitted by Newmill engineering before they closed down. Though small the distillery can produce 600,000 litres of alcohol

per annum. The distillery is the most southern on Speyside and takes its water directly from the River Tromie.

Whilst Paul was talking, Liz tried a dram; an unaged malt called Drumguish - I must say, it was not here favourite, but, as she said, it would be a good entry level single

malt for a beginner. “SANDY how long have you worked in the whisky industry?” I have been here since 2013, prior to that I started out in 1979, working for various

companies including Diageo. I am now manager at Spey. “HOW MANY PEOPLE

By now both Liz and Paul were looking round Sandy’s “office”, a delightful loft space, with drinks cupboard, desk, table and chairs, a row of Highland Dress - kilts, jackets,

shoes etc - begging the question... “do you look after a pipe band?” These are held

here to give some notion of feeling Scottish to special guests - namely a party from Bij de WhiskyFlavourites whiskyproeverijen komt u niet alleen alles te weten over het productieproces van whisky, whisky in het algemeen en over de te proeven whisky’s zelf, maar wordt u tevens ’rondgeleid’ langs de betreffende distilleerderijen door de omgeving waarin deze gelegen zijn.

Asia recently, who all donned the kilt! (see facebook; SPEY Whisky). Liz was on her second dram, so Sandy suggested looking over the distillery, so we did! A small set up with a pair of stills, all equipment housed in one space, a nice old stone building,

reminding Paul of a kirk (church). Sandy took us outside - a really nice, country set-

ting, complete with river and waterwheel, to a bothy where drinks could be found! Another old stone building with a lime-washed interior, where we could see the range

of the drams made here. It didnee stop here, another wee room located under his office was the dram room, superb wee room neither Liz nor Paul wanted to leave.

Here, Sandy explained more on the distillery history, drams and plans whilst Liz accepted large drams of - how shall I say this? Many excellent whiskies, more than we normally have offered, Paul meantime was the driver, looking on enviously - Sandy

did give him a wee sample to take with him, so not all was lost! Time to mention here; Paul had previously sampled the drams at a private tasting days before. By

etc.

Dragging Liz away, we almost made our escape before waving off Sandy, he gave a good handshake, and a hug to Liz, who replied with a kiss. Was it a good visit? What do you think? “Come back anytime” we will to be sure!

At excel wines with Paul Dempsey - a great distillery insight

The private whisky tasting was hosted by Exel Wines of Perth, a really good whisky

shop with many hard to find whiskies lying about on the shelves! It was given by Paul

Dempsey, Commercial Manager, Speyside Distillers Company Ltd. We were taken

through three drams, the TENNE, Latin for Tawny, as it is a Port finish, and - beauti-

ful! I better start from the start... When we say Speyside Distillery there are many that simply think of the region. This is THE Speyside Distillery, a wee thing down by Kingussie. This is a distillery that together with it’s owner company Harveys of Edinburgh had bags of stories to tell whilst we enjoyed a dram of their 12 year Old,

18 Year Old and the Tenne (Tawny style). Along with a selected few (including our

guest Drew, from Phoenix Arizona) we sampled all three. My favourites of the even-

ing were the Tenne and the 18 year old, how do I try and tell you what they were like? I won’t, I shall let you just try and find them for yourself, but be quick, limited supply at

limited outlets - more on that later. For example, the 18yo; comes dressed in a nice

looking tube, with certificate, a limited batch of only 1500 worldwide! I came away with number 883. When you see the photos you will see what I mean by dressed, the

bottles are also real “lookers”. To say we had 3 tastings would be a lie, aye there were

Temple Bar Tasting session at the Temple Bar, Temple, Dublin.

I was dondering around Dublin’s temple Bar district early one morning (when I say early, I mean 10.45 ish, which is early opening for pubs) which I said I would not do,

far too touristy for me.

But, I thought at that hour there will be no tourists around, I found the door open at the pub, so took myself inside and perched at the whiskey bar.

Behind the bar was Roberto, from Argentina; Patagonia, Chubut to be exact. He has been there 12 years or so now and is in charge of the whiskey bar - and jeeze, he knows his stuff.

Cannee mind what my first drink was, possibly a Paddy, but here are some of what

I tried or saw; Jameson Cask Mates, the whiskey is a Jameson as you’d expect, the cask is then sent to the Franciscan Well brewery to steep itself in beer residue for 6

months, it then goes back to Jamesons, this approx. a 5 year old dram, very different from the others in the range, I liked it I have to say. The story begins with a pub

in Cork between Midleton’s Master of Science, David Quinn, and Franciscan Well’s founder, Shane Long. Shane asked if he might lay his hands on a few spare whis-

key casks to age his beer in. Franciscan Well released its first Jameson cask-aged

stout in time for Christmas 2012. When the most recent batch of twelve casks went back to Midleton, the distillery figured they might as well try their own experimental maturation. The casks had only been used once to age pot still spirit before their stout “seasoning” so there was plenty of oomph left in the wood. They refilled the

casks with blended Jameson (at around the normal cask strength of 60% rather than

bottling strength of 40%). After six months, according to Quinn, they were “shocked” by the transformation. There was something interesting going on, something they

wanted to share with the rest of us. Hence Jameson Caskmates, 3,500 bottles of it.

Next, I was introduced to a dram from Roberto’s homeland, Old Smuggler whisky.

Temple Bar vervolg A blend of Scottish fine malt whisky and Argentinian grain. I have to say, I was no impressed sorry. There is another he told me about, Alazana Single Malt released 2011/12 – named after a horse would you believe?

Other notable drams included; Powers single cask, pot still whiskey. A single pot still

release of Powers whisky. Crafted at the Midleton Distillery near Cork, Powers John Lane Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is named after the original Powers Distillery, which

was situated on John’s Lane in Dublin. The whiskey is made exclusively from malted

and unmalted barley, which is triple distilled through pot-stills in the traditional Irish way, matured in first fill ex-bourbon casks, while the remainder is aged in casks that

were previously used to mature Oloroso sherry. After a twelve-year rest the whiskey is bottled 92 proof.

Jack Ryan 12 year old single malt, this has the name of current proprietor Eunan

Ryan’s late father Jack who managed the establishment until his untimely death 36 years ago. ‘Ryan’s Malt’ had been produced by the family in association with the

Dublin Whiskey Distillery until this famous distillery closed its doors in 1946. Today’s

Jack Ryan ‘Beggars Bush’ Single Malt Irish Whiskey (46% ABV) has been aged for 12 years with no chill filtration. The whiskey has been matured in ex-bourbon bar-

rels hand-picked by the family themselves to deliver the unique taste. Only 1,450

bottles of Jack Ryan ‘Beggars Bush’ Single Malt have been produced. The Beggars Bush has been at the centre of cultural and literary circles in Dublin since it opened

its doors in 1803. Residing next to the old Beggars Bush British army barracks it has

seen soldiers go to war against Napoleon and the Kaiser, revolution against the Brit-

ish and eventual handover to Michael Collins in 1922 followed by the execution of

Robert Erskine Childers, father of fourth president later that year by the Free State Government. It was a few drams away from my usual - Black Bush!

Wild Geese, in a long high straight bottle, as opposed to the square bottles normally found, interesting this one.

Temple Bar vervolg

The history of the Irish Coffee Powers is the traditional whiskey used in an Irish Coffee. It was created at Foynes airbase in Co. Limerick... Foynes was an airbase near Limerick, in fact it was the main airport for Flying Boats between America and Europe. By 1940, the airport was handling many passengers, including many American VIP’s from the world of politics and Hollywood. Weather conditions along the West coast of Ireland can be notoriously bad, and often what was supposed to be just a stopover for refuelling turned into an overnight stay. In 1942 a new restaurant opened, which had the task of catering for the many important passengers passing through Foynes and present a very positive image of Ireland and its people to the world. The story goes that Powers Irish Coffee was invented to appease a group of tired and upset American tourists who had set off to make a 19 hour trip to New York - they set off 10 hours before! After 5 hours out the plane turned back due to a storm. The head chef at Foynes, a Joe Sheridan, decided to warm them up, rather than the tradition of adding whiskey to tea, he added it to coffee. He concocted a Powers with sugar and coffee and fresh whipped cream. As they sipped their drinks, one passenger said “hey buddy, is this Brazillian coffee?” Sheridan replied “it is Irish Coffee” To make a Powers Irish Coffee: 1. Pour a measure of Powers and two teaspoons of brown sugar into a prewarmed Powers Irish Coffee Glass. 2. Place a metal spoon in the glass. 3. Fill the glass with hot black coffee, allowing space at the top for cream before stirring well. 4. Gently pour lightly whipped cream over the back of a spoon so that the cream floats on the coffee.

Temple Bar, own label whiskey. Traditional Irish Whiskey; some spices, fruits, vanilla,

sweetness and wood, maybe plumbs in there! It is of course triple distilled, a blend, there was a time when most Irish pubs bottled whiskey. This I believe, is selected

by Tom Clearly, bottled 10/2014, for the Temple Bar Whiskey Company. From small batches, matured in bourbon oak casks and finest Port casks, then blended... I liked it so much, I bought the bottle to take home!

I spent a deal of time at the bar with Roberto, a good man and knowing his whiskey,

so if you are in Dublin, take a morning visit to the bar, it does get very, very touristy late afternoon/evening.

Mulligan’s Grocer December 2014, Mulligan’s Grocer, Dublin.

I ventured out again into the wild world (after my Temple Bar tasting session) and thought it time for some food, that’s another story, the one that lead me to Mulligan’s Grocer - next story on my travels.

My meeting had been arranged with owner Michael some time back, time to pay him

a visit. So once there, and a cup of tea in my mits, we chatted away. I had sent a whiskey tour group here earlier in the year with my mate/driver, Mark fae Belfast (he

does all our driving on the island of Ireland), to sample the grocer delights. By the way, they later told me it was their tour highlight! Mark told the same story, so I needed to see myself what the fuss was aboot. It was a pre - Christmas day the bar was no too busy, grand, just what I had wanted. Apart from the drink, Mulligan’s is also fa-

mous for it’s food selection, specially the Scotch Eggs!!! With a grand array of whisky from everywhere, beers and wines spirits etc as usual it has a grand atmosphere and

great staff - are you warming to it already? I did as soon as I set toes in the place. A

big fella asks can he help, tis Michael I’m lookin fer says myself, there he is hiding

behind the wee partition. We sat down and had a cup of tea! Which I was thankful for havin had many drams before I came in. We talked about whiskey, food, tour groups, special tastings and whisky dinners. Get your taste buds around this idea;

Single Pot Still Dinner and Barrel Charring.

Dublin trip Christmas week 2014

Paul’s Christmas sojourn to Ireland. DIARY/BLOG

Taking the flight on the 21st December, I flew into Dublin. Flying always annoys me,

seems to be time wasted, especially in the check in process! Then upon arrival at

Dublin, something like a 9 mile hike just to get out of the airport! Thank goodness I can browse duty free on the way back, might see someone I know, or pick up a nice bottle.

Dublin, day 1; arrived knackered, it was a long day, checked into my hotel on the

river and chilled a wee bit. Then took a stroll to the Confession Box pub, I always do

this, so I can honestly tell my Priest back home in Perth, I went to Confession. The pub is small to say the least,. the staff are Dubs giving a local feel. The Guinness is great though I stayed with whiskey - doctors orders! The location is tougher than

tourist streets and means there are more Guards (Gardí ) patrolling - so long as they leave me alone eh!

The following days can become a blur, talkin of pubs; I know I called in for a few

drams at McDaids Pub on Harry Street - it was once the City Morgue, later converted

into a chapel for the Moravian Brethren, hence the Gothic style windows. It was only

just open when I arrived, so just the three of us in (or should I say the tree of us?),

settled down with a Powers and took in the scenery. There is also a room and bar upstairs, but in my humble view, no as good as street level. Traditional wood panelling everywhere, lots of old whiskey images, to be sure, not a grand collection of whiskies

behind the bar, but enough for a session and no get bored! Friendly staff too. The Hairy Lemon: the Craic is fine and the music is fine. An old type of bar with nooks and

crannies, aye, tried most of em! Sorry, too touristy fer me. Bowe’s: NOW WE ARE

TALKIN. on the East side of Fleet Street. The staff are friendly, the Guinness is con-

sistently the best in the city (yes, better than it is at the brewery), they have a range of craft beers on tap, lovely toasted sandwiches (tried one to be sure) and a selection of

Dublin trip vervolg over 100 whiskeys from around the world - really, what more do you want? I partook! The Palace Bar: This place is grand - it tends to get really crowded, which makes

it difficult to get a seat - so, let’s stand!. They have a wide range of Irish beers and

a superb selection of whiskeys, including their own Palace Bar whiskey which you

can purchase by the shot or, should you wish to, by the bottle. Still a Cooley dram, though now it arrives from Teelings. A long and narrow bar that opens out at the bot-

tom (like my cousin) into a wider room to sit and enjoy life. It has an upstairs too. I

lingered in here more than once. Just to do research you understand. 37 Dawson St.

A party time place, with a decent supply of Irish whiskey. Called in one night at 6pm

as arranged, a seat booked for me. To be sure I was expecting a whiskey tasting or

something. At 6.20 I was thinkin I was in the wrong place! No tasting, no nothing, all

it was, a reserved seat (in a bar!!!). I chatted to Ron behind the bar, the only sense I got while in there, we chatted about our favourite whiskies and I sampled one or four

(approx. 50 behind the bar). A wee bit strange, my whiskey came in a square tumbler glass, with water at the side, in a Glencairn glass!

Got a bit fed up of the loud music (not live by the way) and left. I knew where I was,

so trotted along Merion Row to O’Donoghue’s MY FAMILY’S FAVOURITE DUBLIN

HAUNT - as I found out later, not any more. It too is getting touristy, what a shame. The pub that launched the career of the “Dubliners”. Can get crowded especially

when live music is on. ASK FOR A CHEESE BUTTY! I moved on to Toners, by this

time, everywhere was busy, drammed once and left.

I also know I dropped in more than once to O’ Neill’s, traditional Victorian decor, complete with snugs and cosy corners. O’ Neills’ choice of whiskey is extensive and is available on two floors, downstairs in both the main bar and the smaller Victorian

bar as well as the dedicated Whiskey corner upstairs. Great food, great staff who recognize you - nice that - and also do a great breakfast. The Church Café, Bar, Restaurant, St. Mary’s Church, Dublin is a former Church of Ireland building on the cor-

ner of Mary Street and Jervis Street, Dublin. From the 17th century the church was a

place of worship for parishioners on Dublin’s north-side, before it was closed in 1986.

Dublin trip vervolg Now it’s a trendy bar with whiskey tasting trays and a selection of Premium Irish Whiskeys. Jameson Premium Reserves Tasting. Jameson Select Reserve. Jameson 12 year old Special Reserve. Jameson Gold Reserve.€14.00. O’Sullivan’s bar near

O’Connel bridge, a tourist trap, but some good Irish drams in there. It never seems to

get overly busy, so can always get served. Some of the lowest priced drams I had!

I must say it is starting to look like a pub crawl, honestly it wasnee. After years of

planning and anticipation, the Irish Whiskey Museum is welcoming guests to Dublin’s

newest tourist attraction! Near Trinity College, the museum is the only Irish whiskey museum in the world. Converting an idle building fallen into disrepair in the heart of

the city centre, it’s an independent project conceived by director Keith McDonnell

who showed me around. The hope is to not only educate the public on Irish whiskey’s history, but to promote an understanding and appreciation for something that is, unmistakably, Irish. Grand stuff.

Remembering the Easter Uprising Top of O’Connel St past Parnel Sq; The Commemoration Garden is dedicated to the memory of “all those who gave their lives in

the cause of Irish Freedom.” The Garden was opened in 1966 by President Eamon

de Valera, on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Easter Rising of 1916. The Gardens feature the work of Irish sculptor Oisin Kelly (1915-1981). “The Children of Lir” appear

Spey distillery interview Paul and Liz of mcleanscotland/angels whisky club paid a visit recently to Spey Distillery near Kingussie, at the start of the River Spey.

After a tour of the distillery with manager Sandy, and many drams (Liz did as Paul

was driving) we enjoyed ourselves so much, we went on to chat to John Harvey McDonough whilst he was in Taiwan. This is the interview and some photos.

Hello John, thank you for your time, I know you are a busy man and a lot of time spent abroad. After my whisky tasting evening with Paul Dempsey and a visit to the distillery with Sandy, I can now honestly say, I am a big fan of Speyside distillery! The

brand was more or less previously unobtainable here in Scotland - so I am pleased now there is a presence. I know I have caught you at a busy period whilst in Taiwan with Michael Owen, apologies.

Q; In Taiwan and China, is it just the Michael Owen bottles you are marketing, or the whole range?

A - It is the whole range .. we have been marketing SPEY as a brand for almost 20

years in Taiwan and almost 5 in China but of course we are very excited about the prospects of the SPEY-Michael Owen partnership for Greater China and indeed the whole of Asia.

Q; The expressions - The Golden Choice (40.6% abv) and The Michael Owen Lim-

ited Edition (46% abv). Will these be available in Scotland?

A - Yes they will but on a very limited allocation-basis only in 2015.

Q; Michael is obviously an excellent name/brand in that area of the world - as he is the

world over, has he been a good ambassador so far for whisky? And what of the future?

A - He has been a superb brand ambassador for our SPEY brand both professionally

and personally and we have been able to meet with his whole family which allows us to understand why Michael is so popular and well respected around the world. The future looks very bright based on our first very successful 6 months co-operation.

The Balvenie Rare Craft

The Balvenie Rare Craft Event in NYC’s Chelsea Market ran from 17 November

2014 through 22 November 2014, and gave place not only to rare and unique hand-

made pieces from artisans from all over the United States, but it also allowed ticket holders to sample Balvenie whiskys while admiring the crafts. The collection curator

was Indy racer Dario Franchitti, and the event itself was hosted by Balvenie Brand

Ambassador David Laird, from Glasgow. My husband John and I attended on the final day, 22 November, and wanted to share some highlights with the other angels!

In all there were twenty-one crafts showcased, ranging from cars to clothing, but

by far our favorite was a set of intricately decorated bagpipes made from Balvenie

whisky barrels! These pipes were crafted by Roderick “Roddy” MacLellan, a Scot who emigrated to the U.S. in 1980 and who now lives in North Carolina. Some other favorites were: an Indy Car Parts Table by Julian R. Halpern of Steelhead Studio, a

of Baxendale Guitars, and a Sea Board (surfboard) by Mike Lavecchia of Grain Surfboards. The heart of the exhibit was a Morgan +8 Roadster, hand-assembled and crafted with extensive Balvenie branding. Wish we were allowed to sit in it!

While browsing, guests could sample Balvenie 12 Year Doublewood and 14 Year

Caribbean Cask, but we were lucky enough to get into the Master Tasting later in the day. David Laird hosted and it was a rare treat. We sampled the 12 and 17 Year Dou-

blewood, the 14 Year Caribbean Cask, 12 Year Single Barrel, and 21 Year Portwood!

Lucky us, we got to take home Rare Craft branded Glencairn glasses and a Balvenie branded water dropper!

An amazing day, but your angels weren’t done yet. David invited us to the VIP after

party, where we sampled more of the Balvenie range; the details are a little fuzzy at this point! A heartfelt welcome from David and live music started off the night,

and NYC’s famous Meatball Shop catered the party. Unfortunately, we had to leave before the 25 Year Single Barrel was opened; we had to catch the last train home.

Maybe next year!

Glasgow distillery Paul and Liz of mcleanscotland/angels whisky club paid a pre planned visit to the Glasgow Distillery during January. Meeting up with Liam and a privileged show round

of the operation, where they met the team, tried a few samples, saw the equipment and asked the questions. Made all the more difficult after a whole day and night with the Irish Tourist Board, we did struggle to make breakfast!

Q; Jarmo Halmeenkari from Finland asked us to pose the question; Where can we get this?

A; precious batch of aged single malt Speyside casks has been acquired by Glasgow Distillery and is to be launched under the brand name Prometheus. Where has Glasgow Distillery kept hidden this 26 year old? Chatting to Liam (Liam Hughes CEO) it will be delivered in a nice presentation box - still being designed - a very nice

tall bottle shape with a cork/glass stopper. It will be presented in Hamburgh at the

start of February and sadly, for us, also available in Scotland soon at around £300. Liz and Paul were lucky enough to sample this and very lucky to be given the chance to get their hands on a bottle once out there!

It WAS a really good dram, we both agreed (for once!). The coveted liquid was left to quietly sleep for nearly three decades until it was awoken after a chance meet-

ing between Liam and the original owners. During the summer of 2014, a plan was hatched to finally release this unique and special whisky.

longer, amazing. Club membership starts at only £670 excluding VAT and UK duty, whoopee!

When asked,”what is annual output?” Liam answered; around 200,000 70cl bottles per year. They will mash 5 times per week and will run the whisky still and the gin still simultaneously.

The gin is available now, each day they “play around” making up cocktails, trying new ideas with this gin; Makar™

St Andrews distillery Paul Miller; Hi Paul and Liz, I thought it was 12.30? Sorry Paul we were delayed

(by an hour!!! Liz says it was Paul’s fault, usual story), anyhow it was fine. A quick show round was called for, it had been a good few months since I was there (Paul)

so high time to see the updated story. Things have been happening, not quite fin-

ished but it is a lot bigger/better than last time. During our tour with Paul (M) - this is

getting confusing here with two Pauls, so Paul Mc will become Sean for this story. During our tour with Paul, there was a group in taking a tour with Kevan (manager)

and a lot of beers were set up for the tasting, gin too (Shona set these up). Paul

talked us through new developments and things to come, eventually getting to the office for a sit down and a taste - love gin! Aye, a new gin, pink, aimed at Valentines day I think, but very different. And so to some questions;

Sean; Casks; can anyone buy one? Paul; yes they can, anyone can be a private owner of their own cask, what happens, they come along, make the spirit with us and

fill their own cask, standard casks are Octave French/USA oak @ 50 litres, approx.

80 bottles. They can finish how they wish and the cask will mature a few miles from the Old Course in St Andrews. Sean, anyone wanting details email me at paul@

mcleanscotland.com

Special new make releases; The team have distilled and will be distilling using 3

very different malted barley types to create 3 unique single malt spirits on 3 very im-

portant Scottish dates. Each of these batches of 396 bottles will be released under

the headings of the Eden.Mill St Andrews Day Single Malt Spirit using pale malt, Hogmanay Single Malt Spirit using pale malt and chocolate malt, Robert Burns Day Single Malt Spirit using pale malt, crystal malt and brown malt. Each release of just

320 - 346 bottles will guarantee the purchaser the opportunity to by the same malt

as a 1 year old, and as a 2 year old, and ultimately when it first becomes single malt

scotch Whisky as a 3 years and 1 day old. With bottles released at just £35 per 50cl bottle at 50 abv strength in unique numbered ceramic bottles, we imagine the first and second releases will be sold out very quickly.

Torabhaig distillery Another day, and another Scotch distillery project appears. No doubt funding will

come from an issue of founders’ bonds or future cask sales, and a diverse group of private investors, while early income will be predicated on sales of gin and new-make spirit. You get the picture.

So we look at the case of Mossburn Distillers Ltd. with a slightly seen-it-all-before

eye. We chat with chief executive Neil Mathieson, who outlines two distillery projects,

one on the Isle of Skye and another near Jedburgh, in the Scottish Borders. Talk turns to likely expenditure; and Mathieson mentions that the Borders plans involve spending between £35 and £40 million ($60 to $68 million), and that no external funding will be required.

Did he say £35 to £40 million? More or less what it cost Diageo to build its largest and most state-of-the-art distillery to date at Roseisle? Yes, he did.

Clearly we need to know more about the man and his plans. Mathieson was born in

Scotland into a family with over 100 years of involvement with Scotch whisky. Moving to London, he trained as a chef, also getting involved in law, accountancy, and hotel management. He then opened a restaurant with his chef wife.

For the past 30 years he has been running Eaux de Vie, which he set up in 1984, growing it into the UK’s leading independent importer of spirits. Eaux de Vie now

in the hands of Marussia Beverages BV, which ultimately belongs to the privately

owned Swedish investment company Haydn Holding AB. Marussia operates vineyards in Europe and a brandy distillery in Eastern Europe, while additionally working with Caribbean rum producers.

Neil Mathieson points out that, “We started looking at having our own involvement in

whisky distilling in Scotland five years ago, so we’re not jumping on a bandwagon.”

In order to further these distilling ambitions, Mossburn Distillers Ltd. has been set up to create and operate the two new distilleries.

T-shirt whisky PAGODE

Torabhaig distillery vervolg “At Torabhaig on the southeast coast of Skye, more than £5 million ($8 million) will

be spent building a new malt distillery in a listed farm steading,” notes Mathieson. “The aim is to produce half a million liters of spirit, using traditional pot stills made for us by Forsyths. The restoration of the buildings has commenced and the first distillates will be produced in 2016. We expect that the flavor profile will be confirmed over the next year as we work on the still shape and height, malt sourcing, and wood program.”

By coincidence, distilling guru and former Diageo production director Alan Rutherford already had an existing interest in both the Jedburgh and Skye distillery projects.

He was involved with the Torabhaig distillery venture before Mossburn came along, when all permissions were in place ready for work to commence. At an earlier stage

Rutherford had identified the Jedburgh site as an ideal location for whisky-making

in the Borders. Joining forces with the Mossburn team as technical director, it was decided that both ventures should go ahead.

“At Mossburn, our aim is to produce up to 2.5 million liters of malt and grain spirit per

to gaining planning permission, although work has begun on the other buildings at

the site we own, based around the former Jedforest Hotel. We hope to start on the production buildings next year with distillation commencing in 2017. As with Torabhaig, we have yet to confirm the flavor profiles for production.

“It’s going to be a unique, statement building, which will incorporate a malt plant, a

grain plant and a ‘hybrid’ plant; three distilleries under one roof, in effect. Ultimately, there will also be maturation facilities, a bottling hall and 1,000 square meters of hos-

pitality space. We aim to have the largest whisky shop in Scotland and conference

space for a spirits academy. If all goes to plan, we are talking about a 2015 build, while in 2016 the equipment will be put in place, and during 2017 the distillery and visitor center will open.”


Torabhaig distillery vervolg Given that both distillery ventures are being “internally” funded by a clearly cash-

rich enterprise, there are fewer pressures to obtain short-term returns for Mossburn Distillers Ltd than in the case of other fledgling whisky distillers. “We are working on

distillery enterprises,” explains Mathieson.

“There will be no founders’ casks or sales of new-make spirit. We will market single

malt, single grain, and blends, and the aim will be to build brands and create international sales prospects. The first limited release bottlings will probably be of five year old whisky before a standard ten or twelve is chosen. This will depend on the flavor profile the team decides on, and the development over the first five years.”

Some observers of the Scotch whisky scene foresee problems when all of the emer-

gent ‘craft’ distilling operations begin fighting for their slice of the market. After all, each is likely to be offering consumers pretty much the same product, namely three

of four year old, ‘limited edition’ bottlings from a predictable variety of casks, all with price tags of $120 and upward.

It appears that Mossburn is in the position to avoid such a situation, but what does

Mathieson suggest for others embarking on their whisky-making dream? “I would

advise them to concentrate on the costs of grain, wood, and cask storage over their

aging plan, rather than the initial outlay on distilling equipment, and not to consider unrealistic retail prices or expect them to continue increasing,” he says. “Also, forget Glen Moray distillery
