Book Review:
Shetland and Orkney are very different from, say, Easdale, Arran or Mull, yet all are included, while the north west and far northern mainlands are not. While it is a good idea to try to integrate Gaelic and English writing the Gaelic poems all have …

Some cool An Cnoc images:

Cnoc Ceann a’ Gharraidh, Lewis

One of a series of photos taken as part of my doctoral research on the Neolithic monuments of the Western Isles of Scotland. This snap was taken on a particularly wet day in October 2001 – summer fieldwork was cancelled because of foot and mouth.
Cnoc Ceann a’ Gharraidh (Callanish II) – visited 08 October 2001
One of the satellite sites at Calanais, Lewis surrounding the main alignment at Calannish I.
Also using these snaps to experiment with the use of machine tags, referencing the database entry for this monument in RCAHMS‘s database of archaeological monuments and the built environment of Scotland, Canmore.

Johnnie Walker Whiskey Labels

Article by Dom V

Johnnie Walker Whisky is the most widely distributed brand of blended Scotch whisky in the world, which is sold in almost every country with yearly sales of over 130 million bottles.

Johnnie Walker standard blends include green label, blue label, black label, gold label, red label, Johnnie Walker Swing and red & cola.

The Red Label blend, is much smoother and somewhat lighter than many of its contemporaries, as it retained the authentic flavour of traditional Scotch Whisky.

The Black Label has an enigmatic character. The first sip leaves you with an overwhelming curiosity to discover more. As Black Label’s deep taste unfolds a myriad of flavours are revealed in several waves: first, there is an impression of silky richness; then deep and fruity foreground flavours give way to drier peaty nuances, followed by the complementary flavour tones of sweet vanilla and raisins. Recently released is the Johnnie Walker Black Label 100th Anniversary Collectors edition.

The Green Label is the newest addition to their portfolio. Introduced in 2004, Green Label is a pure malt scotch whisky, blended from four characteristic single malts (each at least 15 years old), which together create a balanced whisky evoking freshness and smoke.

Johnnie Walker Blue is heralded as the rarest and most exclusive blend. Released in 1992, Blue Label is the ultimate luxury Scotch Whisky and is created from the most unique and premium whiskies in the world. Blue Label is also known as the whisky for connoisseurs, and as such, each bottle is individually numbered.

Johnnie Walker Gold is a little more upscale, this particular blend boasts a smoky, caramel and vanilla aroma and a creamy, honeyed taste. This supremely scotch finishes with a light and lingering spiciness. The Gold label is a rare, fine Scotch blend that is still affordable to those that desire the Blue Label complexities. A must for any Scotch lover.

Every label they have produced is outstanding in their own right.

They have also produced some special and limited bottlings in the recent years.

Making malt whisky – Kilchoman Distillery, Isle of Islay, Inner Hebrides, Scotland

aura99 — Sat, 12 May 2012 20:19:36 +0000

Kilchoman, (pronounced kil-ho-man) established in 2005, is a farm distillery and the first to be built on Islay (pronounced eye-luh) for 124 years. It is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland with an annual production of 100000 litres of alcohol. Kilchoman is one of only six distilleries to carry out traditional floor maltings. Three of these distilleries are on Islay (Bowmore and Laphroaig are the other two) but a key difference is that, at Kilchoman, the barley is grown on the farm at the distillery, whereas other distilleries purchase barley from around the country. And I think I’m right in saying that Kilchoman is unique in having all parts of the process (growing barley, malting, distilling, maturing and bottling) carried out on site – which is why we went there. 80% of the annual production is filled into a combination of fresh Bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace Distillery, Kentucky and refill casks, and 20% into fresh oloroso sherry butts.
