Lost Spirits Distillery - Home of 110ppm peat monster Leviathan I | Whisky Tasting Fellowship (Build 20120826042008) Aug 20, 2012 Posted by Mark on Aug 20, 2012 in Whisky News, Whisky Personalities | 1 comment A dragon, a peat monster and a leviathan all roaming around California – sounds a bit like the plot for an alternate reality fantasy novel right? Well, you’d be wrong. What we’re talking about here is the Lost Spirits Distillery situated in Monterey County, a hop, skip and a jump away from the Pacific Ocean.

This craft distillery, owned and run by Bryan Davis and Joanne Haruta, captured my attention when reading about their 110ppm peat giant, aptly named Leviathan I. WTF: Hi Bryan and Joanne, can you provide a bit of detail on your respective backgrounds? WTF: You’re talking about your absinthe distillery right? WTF: That leads us onto the Lost Spirits distillery… What prompted moving back to the States and starting a whiskey distillery producing single malt whiskeys? WTF: I read that the two of you have done everything from scratch yourselves – what was the motivation behind that? Sláinte!

Exclusive Preview: Lost Spirits Distillery Seascape Peated American Whiskey | Drinkhacker.com. It isn’t every day we get to write about a product before anyone else on the planet. Recently I was one of the first people to ever taste Lost Spirits’ inaugural whiskey release, poured from a bottle so fresh the label hadn’t even been printed for it. With only 170 or 180 bottles produced, Seascape is one of the rarest whiskeys on earth, but if this unique spirit sounds like it’s up your alley, you should be able to nab a bottle before it’s all gone, if you act fast… and have all of 50 bucks to spend on it. So… what the heck is it?

Another Texas whiskey hits the stores | Whisky Drinker. Posted by Whisky Drinker on 01 Aug 2012 / 0 Comment Bone Spirits of Smithville, near Austin, has become the latest Texas distillery to release a new whiskey. The craft distiller has released both Fitch’s Goat Whiskey and Fitch’s Goat Moonshine, with the same 100% corn spirit making up each, but with the whiskey having been aged in small casks. Owner Jeff Peace told the Austin360 website: “When the unaged whiskey first came off the still last year, we knew we had an amazing, complex and smooth product.

We had to bottle it. “The beauty to the relationship of the two is that by paying such close attention to the moonshine, we’re guaranteed to have an exceptional product going into the barrels and thus, an exceptional corn whiskey coming out.” Fitch’s Goat is the third whiskey from Texas released in the last few months, following Houston’s Yellow Rose Distilling and Firestone and Robertson of Fort Worth. Les négociants. Le Comptoir du Whisky - Exclusivités. Whiskies. Blackadder's challenge, therefore, is to select and bottle only individual casks as naturally as possible. To ensure this we only give our whiskies a light filtration to remove any cask particles that may otherwise get into the bottle. Blackadder Raw Cask whiskies, however, are completely unfiltered. All Blackadder whiskies are SINGLE CASK BOTTLINGS. This also applies to whiskies bottled under all Blackadder International labels; ABERDEEN DISTILLERS, CLYDESDALE ORIGINAL AND CALEDONIAN CONNECTIONS whiskies.

Every cask is different, thus making a hugely complex and varied selection of different whiskies available for our customers to choose from. Each cask is chosen to represent one of the very best examples of its type and age. Because we have not filtered out the suspended fats which can cause cloudiness and sedimentation in the bottle under certain temperature conditions, our whiskies may appear slightly cloudy or "milky".

Chill filtering is a method in whisky making for removing residue.[1] In chill filtering, whisky is cooled to between -10° and 4° Celsius (often roughly 0°) and passed through a fine adsorption filter. This is done mostly for cosmetic reasons – to remove cloudiness, rather than to improve taste or consistency. Method[edit] Chill filtering prevents the whisky from becoming hazy when in the bottle, when served, when chilled, or when water or ice is added, as well as precluding sedimentation from occurring in the bottles.

Such clouding only happens at an alcohol by volume of 46% or less, thus stronger bottled whisky is non-chill filtered or un-chillfiltered. Chill filtering works by reducing the temperature sufficiently that some fatty acids, proteins and esters (created during the distillation process) precipitate out so that they are caught on the filter.

A Glencairn whisky glass The Glencairn whisky glass is a style of glass developed by Glencairn Crystal Ltd, Scotland for drinking whisky. Originally designed by Raymond Davidson, managing director of the company, the shape of the glass is derived from the traditional nosing copitas used in whisky labs around Scotland.

[citation needed] The glass design was concluded with the aid of master blenders from five of the largest whisky companies in Scotland. [citation needed] The glass first came into production in 2001. [citation needed] The glass is approximately 115 mm (4.5 in) in height and has been available in three variations: 24% lead crystal, lead-free crystal, and soda-lime glass. The capacity of a typical Glencairn whisky glass is approximately 175 ml (5.9 US fl oz), and it is intended to hold approximately 50 ml (1.7 US fl oz) of liquid. In 2006 the glass won the Queen's Award for innovation.[1][2][3] References[edit] External links[edit] Malt Maniacs — Crazy about single malt whisky.
