This Thursday, Brian Johnson will taste us on some very nice single malts from Mossburn Distillers. The Mossburn Distillers have been around for many years; although you may not have heard of them, they have been buying casks and laying them down until they are ready to bottle. This tasting will introduce Mossburn Foursquare. It started as a classic expression of Speyside Malt Whisky, first aged for over 12 years in ex-bourbon casks before re-aging in American oak casks that previously contained mature Foursquare rums. It isreleased at batch strength, 57.7 % abv.

 

The Mossburn folks have also started a new distillery on Skye, the isle’s first new one in 190 years. Torabhaig blends traditional and contemporary approaches. It has been fully operational since January 2017. They distill in beautiful copper stills but ferment in traditional wooden washbacks that add flavor complexity.

The Cask Strength is a limited release, a bolder expression of Allt Gleann, and will close the Allt Gleann chapter of the Legacy Series. Bottled unreduced, it shows Torabhaig’s confidence in their mission and the strength of their style.

 

We will taste eight malts, all under $100. The Tasting is free. Mark your calendar; this will be a very nice tasting. It will take place on Thursday at 4:30  and 6:00 P.M.
