I'll have to try and remember this experience for my next visit to Scotland, whenever it may be

To get that light silky smooth effect is tighter cuts. A lot of distilleries allow some heads and trails into the blend to be more efficient and those unwanted notes usually age out in the barrel over a longer period of time, but you get more alcohol bite on the finished product. If you're not tasting that bite, they are making tighter cuts, but you can lose complexity if it spends too much time in the barrel. Getting to play distiller for a day is always an amazing experience! The bottling set up is almost identical to what we use at the brewery. It can be a little finicky, but once set up it usually runs smoothly. Another great episode, cheers!

Hard to find that bottle. Even checked the distillery website. Hopefully I can find at auction. Thanks for bringing to my attention. 🥃

Cheers Erik, I was on the hunt for the Single Barrel 8yr Sherry release, it sounded so well put together, found mine at Whisky castle a little shop just down the road from that Distillery, I'm sure they have the option to hold it for you if asked.

I have the 2016 bourbon barrel bottle. At 60%, it needs a bit of water, but it’s good stuff.

[@jamesmorgan9695]

Sorry mate, just checked they are all gone except the regular 46% maybe for a future release the idea is sound.

I visited the distillery and bought the bottle 6 months ago. It was a very limited release. The point of this video wasn't to say "buy this bottle" but rather "when you visit Scotland, try Ballindalloch's 'Art of Whisky Making' experience."
