www.maltteasers.com The Malt Teasers Whiskey Club was set up in 2006 by three friends, P.J., Pat & Robbie, who had (and still have! ) a common interest in collecting and consuming the amber nectar.  Pat's interest has led to the conversion of his attic to his own personal whiskey bar (Crazy Quints Bar) and P.J.'s collection presently numbers approx. 150 different whiskies and Robbie's collection is catching up fast !

What a bottle design, what an idea for the dram, is this a new trend? or just a one off?

I was at Bushmills in May 2010 and happened to acquire one of these for myself, a rare dram and once they are gone, that's it. Distilled to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the distillery, slainte!

Adelphi Caol Ila 1982 what a superb whisky and, what style the packaging has. Cannee wait to git my mits on one myself. Go visit the link.

Another slightly different take on whisky packaging, this time a German distillery;  have never tasted German whisky before, anyone know what it's like?

Question; what is the best known distillery of the two on Orkney?  We would say highland park  what is the OTHER distillery called? Would you like to go to both? Let us know and we will arrange it all, blended with other distillery visits of course!

What is Your favourite dram? Some prefer single malt, some a blend, who really cares? A Speyside, Lowland, Highland, isles?  Paul; hard to say, I like many, but if really pushed, that one above - maybe an Oban, Jura, Dalwhinnie, or Dimple.  You need me to go right through the alphabet! As I can. Liz; anything she can put into a hot toddy! We had a special bottling in 2002 for the Maclean Gathering, out of the total, Liz had and enjoyed around 8 bottles, all went into hot toddy's.  Och well.

Have you tried this wee monkey yet? I know its a blend  www.monkeyshoulder.com but it is a blend of malts it's actually really good!

Angels Share refers to the quantity of the whiskey or wine, which is lost to evaporation during the aging process. If you would like a more in-depth description… Warehousing the maturation of whisky requires that companies have suitable storage facilities for the large cask inventory this entails. Traditionally, maturing whisky was accommodated in stone-built single- or multi-storey warehouses located beside the distillery. During maturation the cask is not an impermeable container, allowing the evaporation of spirit (both ethanol and water) and the ingress of air (oxygen). The loss of a small percentage of spirit has long been an accepted part of maturation, and this loss has been found to vary with the environmental conditions in a warehouse. My best pal can sometimes be an angel, but then again sometimes a wee divel! She doesn't really like it that much, except for a toddy! My dad (Paul's) is currently taking his share of this!

 www.daftmill.com  Daftmill Distillery, near Cupar in Fife, is one of Scotland’s newest and most exciting malt whisky distilleries. Very much a farm distillery, they grow their own barley and draw water from their own well.
