Why Flowermore? Well, for one thing, we aren’t technically allowed to name this distillery. Secondly, upon sampling this cask, we were struck by how it trod such a fine line between those more floral characteristics typical of this make in the 1980s, and some much more old school and surprisingly beautiful elements that recalled more exotic examples from prior decades. All that, but also we needed a name! This cask represents everything we love about older Islay whiskies, and in particular that much fruitier, older style profile that is much more to do with Islay whisky styles from prior decades. Along with our 1992 Caol Ila that was Chapter Five of Whiskyland, this 1985 38 year old ‘Flowermore’ for Chapter Six represents two sides of the older style Islay single malt coin. As for guesses? Well, everyone who gets the distillery of origin correct, will win a full case of the legendary Black Flowermore... #Whiskyland #Flowermore1985 #MysteryMalt #loveislaywhisky #GuessTheDistillery #caskstrength #singlecask #refillwood #oldstylewhisky #tropicalfruit #violets #vintagewhisky #independentbottler #decadentdrinks

American oak is a popular choice for aging whisky for a few reasons: #Americanoakbarrels are abundant and easier to source compared to other types of oak. This is because the United States has strict regulations on the harvesting and replanting of oak trees, which ensures a consistent supply. American oak has a unique flavor profile that is desirable for many whisky producers. The wood is known to impart notes of vanilla, caramel, and coconut, which complement the flavors of the whisky. American oak has a higher concentration of tannins than other types of oak, which can help to soften and mellow the whisky over time. Tannins are also responsible for giving the whisky its characteristic astringency and mouthfeel. American oak is generally less expensive than other types of oak, which makes it a more cost-effective option for #whisky producers although orices have risen over the last year... So, the adding together of availability, desirable flavor profile, tannins, and cost make American oak a popular choice for aging whisky.

The cherry on top! I initially hesitated to eat a real cherry in Greece's Kefalonia since I had only ever tasted an artificial one on top of a cake. However, after giving it a try, I fell in love with the real thing. Later on, I created a cherry pattern with a black and white background, using the texture of ice balls. I have already booked a holiday back to Kefalonia! If you are interested in this pattern, please feel free to send me a direct message (DM). #cherries #fruitpattern #pink #realcherries #holidaypatterns #fun

2006 Chateau Lynch Bages didn't disappoint. Its brooding, almost opaque color hinted at the depth within, complemented by youthful aromatics of cassis, blueberries, and black cherries, alongside notes of cigar smoke, shoe polish, Asian spice mix, and crushed oyster shells.⁠ ⁠ The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with a ripe and dense palate showcasing a harmonious interplay between sweet and savory black fruit, accented by graphite and crushed oyster shells. Savory acidity provides a refreshing lift, characteristic of Bordeaux wines known for their density and richness, yet bright and energetic.⁠ ⁠ As classic as they come, the wine leaves behind a great mineral residue with a sappy and lively aftertaste that invites you to savor each sip. This well-proportioned wine from a classical vintage will benefit from at least 10, if not 20 years of aging to achieve optimal maturity, making it well worth the wait. 93+⁠ ⁠ While 2009 and 2010 may be superior vintages, requiring 30+ years of aging, the 2006 vintage offers fantastic value, especially considering its current price of £500/6 compared to £630/6 for 2009 & 2010. This raises questions about the rationale behind buying En Primeur.⁠ ⁠ #LynchBages2008⁠ #BordeauxWine⁠ #WineLovers⁠ #ChateauLynchBages⁠ #BordeauxVintage⁠ #FineWine⁠

🍇 Are you familiar with concrete tanks for winemaking? 🏺 Concrete tanks are valued for their high thermal inertia, providing natural temperature regulation during the various stages of vinification. Whether for reds, whites, or rosés, concrete maintains the ideal conditions for each type of wine, with stable temperatures that promote harmonious aroma development. One of the great advantages of concrete tanks lies in their ability to allow for natural micro-oxygenation. Their porous material introduces oxygen very slowly, helping to soften tannins and stabilize the wine continuously and under control. The only downside? Cleaning can be more challenging, but certain coatings facilitate this process without altering the wine's qualities. 🍷 #Vinification #ConcreteTanks #Viticulture #Wine #Innovation
