There's no reason why other distilleries couldn't do the same thing, but they're mostly run by big firms that want to squeeze the maximum amount of yield out of their barley, so the initial spirit is less flavorful (exceptions apply, like Lagavulin).Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448702693643593156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-6511156211792883372014-03-20T18:34:56.949-04:002014-03-20T18:34:56.949-04:00It would be great if they could keep an 8, 9, or 1...It would be great if they could keep an 8, 9, or 10yo in the rotation. Don't know if they'd have to make it an NAS or call it a CV, but it would be a good thing to have.<br /><br />The question is, what on Earth does Frank McHardy & Co. know that almost no one else (except for Kilchoman) seems to know?Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-21157322537531713332014-03-20T14:39:15.752-04:002014-03-20T14:39:15.752-04:00The fact that the Mitchells set out to create a di...The fact that the Mitchells set out to create a distillate with very specific characteristics shows. It's clearly the result of careful consideration and production. I hope that, as with Springbank, Glengyle will continue to put out younger whiskies as well as older ones in future, because the young stuff is clearly so good.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448702693643593156noreply@blogger.com
