Glenisla.... there are - at least - two...Hi there,<br /><br />Glenisla.... there are - at least - two versions of how it was made.<br /><br />Now defunct scotchwhisky.com says <br /><br />Glenisla was peated in a very peculiar way. Under Seagram, Chivas Brothers had been sending 45-gallon drums of peated water from Stornaway to Glen Keith, where it was run through an angled condenser to concentrate the phenols. Apparently it was added 10 gallons at a time to the wash charge and its impact on the whisky must have been considerably less than using well-peated malt in the traditional way – a method Glen Keith also used.<br /><br />thewhsikyexchange.com says <br /><br />Glenisla is an extremely rare, peated, experimental malt made at the Glen Keith distillery in the 1970s. The whisky was made using lightly peated malt and heavily-peated water that had been run through the still to concentrate its peatiness further before being added to the wash charge.<br /><br />And some have claimed, it was not made a Glen Keith at all, but that is history now.<br /><br />Greetings<br />kallaskanderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
