Single malt

Are you sure it’s the same product?

The one in my photo is a bottling specially commissioned by the Pot Still for its birthday last year. That's why it's exclusive to them. (It even says "The Pot Still, Glasgow" on the label.)

Do you have a link to the MoM offering by any chance?

I cant get a link for that specific drink but here's a link to thier site.

Thanks.

It doesn't appear on there so I'm certain what you saw on Master of Malts was something different.

Rather than being reduced to drinking coke, which is after all a bit minging, how anout whisky sours? This is whisky, or more traditionally Bourbon whiskey, lemon juice, and egg white, shaken with ice, then served with a big block of ice. I've got quite fond of whisk(e)y sours but don't want to waste my good malt whisky on them.

given i now how a carpet to pay for the booze will be the 1st thing to go , along with proper cake stops which will be a 39 p flapjack from home bargains and a coffee as no matter how much i told the rest of the clan to economise it never happens

Okay, it’s a variety of Lochlea malts but not the one I tried.

Here’s the link to the one I sampled. It’s only available from the Pot Still at this link:

I make the occasional " Barm Brack " which is basically a Tea Loaf. The recipe calls for soaking mixed fruit in strong tea for 24 hours before adding to the rest of the ingredients. In one experiment I substituted the tea for freshly brewed strong coffee to which I added 50ml of Kahlua coffee liqueur. This came out really well. Inspired by this I decided to experiment further. I took 500g of Waitrose finest mixed vinegar fruit and again brewed a very strong coffee. This time I added 100ml of 10yo Laphroig and left to soak for 48 hours in a glass bowl with a plate on top. I thought the result was outstanding, the peaty taste was definitely there although quite subtle. Others were not so convinced, though they weren't fans of peaty malts.

I occasionally make Dalwhinnie scones, using a Dan Lepard recipe. The fruit is soaked in malt whisky, although last time I had no Dalwhinnie left so I used Bowmore instead and the result was fantastic.
