botti da orbi “guest review”: bruichladdich 1993 extra strength (1993/2004, Wilson & Morgan, 50%)
Questa rubrica è sempre stata lo spazio ricreativo di Zuc, un po’ come la camera da letto di un adolescente in cui mamma e papà hanno giurisdizione relativa. Insomma, ha una sorta di “diritto di tappo”: può portare qui dentro spiriti & affini che gli capita di assaggiare nella sua “altra” vita, ovvero quella di… Continue reading →

Arran 10 Years ‘Arran Barley’ #001 (Optic)
Local Barley is a thing these days, taking inspiration from Springbank and from the wider interest in heritage grains and terroir-driven whisky. Today's dram is a 10 year old Arran, the first edition of the Arran Barley series .The Optic barley was grown at Bellevue Farm by the Currie family. It matured in first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill sherry hogsheads, in proportions similar to their classic 10 year old expression. From now on they will release an annual bottling showcasing different barley varieties and cask types.

Kilchoman Maury Cask Matured (2026)
Maury is one of the AOCs for fortified wines (Vin Doux Naturel) in the Rousillon area, near Perpignan in France. It is a fairly small zone (just four communes), even if you add the bigger neighbours Rivesaltes and Banyuls it is a limited production.Most Maury is sweet but it can also be dry, and it can be made of white or red grapes, mostly grenache, macabeu and muscat. The wines are aged in barriques, large foudres or - more typically - in glass demi-johns exposed to direct sunlight. This gives the wine a flavour profile with the sweetness of Port but also the oxidative rancio character of Madeira for instance.Some of the best known producers like Mas Amiel, which I visited a couple of years ago, have vineyards in several AOCs so they can offer several denominations.I don't think I've ever had a whisky matured in Maury casks, so here's a first. Kilchoman Maury Cask Matured was a full term maturation, not merely a finish. A set of 19 Maury butts from 2021 were vatted for this release,
