The American Single Malt Whiskey Commission (ASMWC) plays a pivotal role, pushing legislators to define and further legitimise the category both domestically and internationally. In February 2024, we asked attendees of the ASMWC members’ meeting in Denver, Colorado what they love about the category of American single malt and what makes it so exciting.

Known for its innovative approach to whisky production, Loch Lomond produces a wide range of whiskies, including single malts, blended malts and grain whiskies. Vic says: “This is an unusual grain whisky because it was made in a continuous Coffey still but with 100% malted barley. A lot of influence comes from the wood because grain spirit typically has less congeners (less flavour) than malt s...

Up for discussion this week, we have a classic Speyside and core whisky from the William Grant & Sons stable: The Balvenie. Vic says: “This is a 12-year-old Double Wood. Its spirit has been matured in ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry casks and then they're married together. So, it's not finished, it's two different types of wood but complete maturation in each one. It's so rich and so complex, an...

Tobermory Distillery produces two distinct single malts made for half the year each: a non-peated Tobermory and a heavily-peated Ledaig. Vic says: “I think Ledaig is an underrated whisky. That is so gentle and sweet with a wonderful toffee finish. But you're getting the smoke the whole time. It's such a rounded dram, very special that.”

Auchentoshan is under the Distillery Corner spotlight this week. Vic says: “It's an interesting one because it's the only solely triple distilled Scotch. You get triple distilled from other distilleries, but this is always triple distilled. That lighter new make spirit, I would suggest, means that you get less flavour coming from the process and more flavour coming from the wood. It's a great e...

We’re a way up north in Orkney this week to discuss Highland Park. Vic says: “It’s quite smoky and ashy to start but then that goes away and you're left with sweetness, dried fruit and a little bit of raisin from the sherry casks. It's what you would call sweet peat and is very pleasant if you're wanting to explore peat and smoky whiskies and you haven't tried them yet.”

We're on the Isle of Arran discussing Lochranza this week on Distillery Corner. Situated on the northern part of the island in the village of Lochranza, the distillery enjoys a picturesque setting, nestled between the rugged mountains and the sea. Vic says: “Arran has two distilleries: Lochranza in the north and Lagg in the south. So, Arran whisky comes from the Lochranza distillery. It's reall...
