DistellMalts

To announce the release of its latest limited edition collection, Distell has produced a video in which its experts taste all eight whiskies ow.ly/XlI850uNoxV

@twlconnas @katmutch Given a good polish they would certainly ‘shine on’

@katmutch @DistellMalts Not "Pink" and "Floyd" then?

Any questions about distilling or Distilleries? Feeling a bit left out 😂 Stephen. #AskDistell

@WhiskynStuff @TheWhiskyNovice @David_Smith_81 Bunnymory Shoulder?

@TheWhiskyNovice @DistellMalts @David_Smith_81 What about a blend made up from the different distilleries?

@David_Smith_81 @TheWhiskyNovice You’d also be moving around a lot of low wines!! Stephen.

@TheWhiskyNovice @DistellMalts I think more than anything, distilleries are likely to be against this practise too. Rightly so, they are incredibly protective of the quality and consistency of their spirit. I don’t know if the process would impact either of these, but I guess there’s always a chance.

Thank you to everyone who joined us tonight - great to hear from you all! 😀 If you’ve got any more questions later feel free to use #AskDistell or send us a wee message and we’ll get back to you. In the meantime - slainte and we’ll see you again soon! 🥃

@ScotchB78 We have a lot of customers who have high expectations of the new make spirit they expect form the distillery and consequently we have no plans to move from our current supplier.

@DistellMalts Have you ever thought about using different yeast strains during the fermentation process similar to how craft ale brewers do. Like Belgian Saison or American IPA yeasts. Would it work, make a discernable difference, be allowed?

@JasonGilluley Not a bad problem to have 😂

@DistellMalts My problem was I wanted them all 🙈😂

#AskDistell Your Fèis ile releases this year were outstanding. Why so many? Some distilleries just put out one bottle. Is it they were just ready at that particular moment?

@JasonGilluley We had whisky which was ready and also we like to put out a range in different price brackets. Sometimes limited releases are very expensive, so we like to be affordable and accessible too. While still being delicious of course! Julieann. #AskDistell

@twlconnas Cut times are extended on the run to feints to capture all those lovely phenols!! Other than that no change!!! Stephen.

@DistellMalts With regards to the Tobermory and Ledaig makes, other than the pppm, are there any other notable differences in production (barley or yeast variatles/cut times or speeds etc...)? #AskDistell

Goodnight #AskDistell

@amyburns83 @kat_fors The malted barley has already been pitched and all going well the smell of peat will once again fill the air at some point in October. Stephen.

@DistellMalts @kat_fors Will you also keep distilling Ledaig as well as Tobermory #AskDistell

@DistellMalts can you tell us about the work at Tobermory? Will this mean more releases in the coming years? #AskDistell

@kat_fors It helps us keep the coastal character of Bunnahabhain so we would never want to change that at Stephen rightly said. Julieann. #AskDistell

@kat_fors The warehouses that needed to go are now demolished and the new VC is well under way. All Bunna destined for single malt will forever be matured on Islay. Stephen.

@JasonGilluley Nope, nothing in the pipeline! #AskDistell

#AskDistell you mentioned gin at Tobermory. Any plans at Bunnahabhain for a gin like your neighbour bruichladdich

@kat_fors Shhhhhhh🤫

@kat_fors And not only whisky releases, gin too! #AskDistell

@JasonGilluley We do have rum barrels in our inventory which had spirit laid down a few years ago.. So you'll need to wait and see! Julieann. #AskDistell

#AskDistell There seems to be a lot of rum cask finishes released recently have you any maturing in your warehouse

@katmutch Please do, and drop us a line! Stephen.

@DistellMalts Hmmmm I'll get my thinking cap on! #AskDistell
