151: Torsk på skaldjurskondensorer

NÄR DAVID FÅNGAR GIDEONIT. Avsnittet vigs åt Davids skottlandsresa och arbetsvecka på Springbank distillery. Således är veckans destilleri Springbank, veckans ord Springbank (alternativt golvmältning) och vår allvetande skrä… skottlandsresenär är något pömsig. Men! Det har poddats varje dag på skolan, så vänta bara! Den som fiskar efter skaldjurskondensorer … Gideonitskämten från Bill Hicks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz6KC-Knaxo Ben och Rachel hette förresten the Torontonians om någon undrar.

Inside Kilkerran Single Malt (Glengyle Distillery) with Nicole Lindsay

Nicole Lindsay you say? Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? And indeed, if you follow our podcast regularly you probably know her already from our episode about Springbank Distillery. This time, however, Springbank will take a backseat since the episode is (mainly) about Kilkerran Single Malt and Glengyle Distillery.

We met Nicole in the new Springbank blending lab to record this episode and it was so much fun talking to her again since she is an absolutely wonderful person and so incredibly knowledgeable – but, of course, you know that already if you have listened to our first episode with her.

Let’s dive deep into Glengyle Distillery, the original purpose of which it was to make sure Campbeltown would retain its status as a whisky region and which, ever since, has become an integral part of the Campbeltown whisky family.

Lean back, pour a dram, relax and come to Campeltown with us to meet Nicole Lindsay once more – you know it’s worth it.

Inside Springbank with Nicole Lindsay

"If Scotland was a whisky, it would be a Springbank" - that was one of the first reactions we got when starting to promote our latest episode of "The Barrel Talk". We just found this statement so perfectly fitting that we had to include it here. Springbank is so much more than just a whisky, it's probably one of the "truest" Scottish spirits you will find, it's history, it's a myth, it's family, it's delicously dirty and it is sought after. In this episode we are talking to Springbank's Nicole Lindsay, who we met in Cadenhead's tasting room in Campbeltown for the recording. Tune in and find out more about Springbank's ethos, their history, some exciting new releases and about some quite photogenic employees of the distillery - it's gonna be interesting, informative, entertaining and fun - so don't hesitate and join us on "Inside Whisky - The Barrel Talk".

63: Trippeldestillerad förvirring

Efter Davids överraskande paraplydrink recenserar inbitne bourbonfantasten Deeped Niclas Strandh Old Pulteney 12. Därefter går vi helt bananas i trippeldestilleringens förvirrade värld. Därför, eller på grund av det, hälsar vi också på Auchentoshan. Häng med! https://www.wolfers.se/wp-content/uploads/ETW63-davids-drink.jpg

Vad var det i glaset?
Mathias arbetade vidare med sin älskade Tamdhu batch strength 001, David pimplade rosévinssangria och Jeroen befann sig mitt i en fasta så där var det stopp på alkohol. Bot och bättring i 64:an utlovas!

Deepeds första i vår skotska whiskykanon Orökig bourbonlagring vanns av Old Pulteney 12 YO.

Tema trippeldestillerat
Detta skrev David långt om på engelska för några år sedan:
http://tjederswhisky.se/the-enigma-of-triple-distillation/
Vidare länkar finns i den texten, nämligen dessa:
http://www.daveswhiskyreviews.com/2017/08/lets-talk-partial-triple-distillation.html
http://whiskyscience.blogspot.com/2012/03/triple-distillation-in-scotland.html
https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/ask-the-professor/8796/does-triple-distillation-make-smooth-whisky/

Det sjuka är att när David skulle höfta fram hur man kan destillera 2,5 gånger som på Springbank lyckades han av total fluke faktiskt träffa rätt – det är just så Springbank destillerar i sina tre pannor, när de gör Springbank…!

Springbanks 2,5-destillering. Foto: destilleriet. Supertack till eminente Christian Alriksstrand för bilden!

Det där med att Mortlach är destillerat just 2,81 gånger: https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/ask-the-professor/7498/the-mortlach-conundrum/ https://fosm.de/srt19-mortlach-die-wee-witchie-und-eine-281-fache-destillation/
Mortlach har förresten inte alls tre pannor som David råkade påstå i förbifarten: de har tre mäskpannor och tre spritpannor.

Veckans destilleri: Auchentoshan Destilleriet grundades faktiskt 1823, så det så. David hade alltså FEL FEL FEL med sitt 1826. Hemsida: https://www.auchentoshan.com/
Destilleriet ägs förresten sedan 1994 av japanska Suntory.

ÄNTLIGEN tema rök! Pratar vi brasa, nytjärad båt eller tjärpastiller? Alla tre, och lite därtill, är svaret. Dessutom: Lyssnarfråga om lagring och ett kvickt men effektivt besök på Springbank! Bonustips: Så får du trevligare bantning. Vad var det i glaset? Nä, fel tid på dygnet var det när vi spelade in. David drack tonic, Mathias svart kaffe och Jeroen ämnade i alla fall dra ett blindskott senare på kvällen… Lyssnarfråga från Sören Många saker här, men här i alla fall en länk om det där med marrying: https://whiskymag.com/story/arranged-marriage Det där med att tiden spenderat i jättevat inte får räknas till en whiskys ålder, som inte står någonstans. Det står i alla fall i H. Charles Craigs underbara The Scotch whisky industry record (Dumbarton: Index Publishing, 1994), men David har även fått det korroborerat från flera andra källor.

Texture: Mouth filling, warming, medium viscosity
Intensity: Pronounced
Flavor characteristics: Fresh pears, raisins, cherries, stone fruits, baked pears, dried orange peel, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, charred oak
