All Blackadder whiskies are single-barrel bottlings, with no chill-filtering and no color added. Their "Raw Cask" bottlings are bottled at cask strength, passing only through a rough sieve. The bottles even contain flecks of barrel char that are not filtered out.
From Blackadder
Filtering and cold stabilization, also remove many of the natural fats, oils and flavors in the whisky which, in turn, removes a great deal of the individual character of a whisky, as the esters, or flavor congeners, in the spirit tend to gather around these fats. The more a whisky is chilled when filtering, the greater the proportion of fats and esters are removed.
Blackadder was founded by Robin Tucek, co-author of The Malt Whisky File. All Blackadder whiskies are his personal selection.
This week's bottling is from Glenlossie. Glenlossie is rather unknown for the simple reason that official releases are hard to find. All of it is meant for the blenders, who feel Glenlossie is a top malt. I have it on good opinion that this Blackaddar release is extraordinary. This is what the spirits project is all about.We'll all find out together on Thursday evening
