In the brewing and distilling industries there is a mutual appreciation of the craftsmanship, skill and process involved in creating these fantastic liquids. And today\u2019s guest, having worked and studied in both fields, is well placed to do just that.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month Glen Scotia, part of Loch Lomond Distillery, unveiled Glen\u00a0Scotia\u00a050 Year Old.\u00a0Glen\u00a0Scotia\u00a0Elements of Campbeltown Release Number One: Air is described as an exceptional 50-year-old single malt which marks a pivotal moment in the distillery\u2019s history, as its oldest ever release.<\/p>\n
And this prestigious release follows on from the launch of Loch Lomond Whiskies 50-year-old single malt. These esteemed liquids have seen the light of day thanks to the stewardship of Michael Henry, a reputed distiller who has a background in both brewing and distilling.<\/p>\n
A whisky five decades in the making, Loch Lomond 50 Year Old is drawn from Loch Lomond Distillery\u2019s oldest reserves and is exclusively limited to 100 individually-numbered bottles worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Distilled in 1973 in the distillery\u2019s unique straight neck pot stills, it uses 100% unpeated malted barley. It was then aged in a combination of refilled American oak casks, first fill bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry hogsheads.<\/p>\n
The maturation process was carefully managed by Loch Lomond Whiskies\u2019 master blender, Michael Henry, who joined Loch Lomond Distillery in 2007. And the distillery\u2019s oldest and rarest whisky casks remain exclusively under his personal care.<\/p>\n
In this episode, Michael talks us through in his involvement in this special project, he takes us through his career to-date and also shares what keeps him driven and inspired.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the brewing and distilling industries there is a mutual appreciation of the craftsmanship, skill and process involved in creating these fantastic liquids.
