An International Flight

Something Old, Something New: First up: Glenlivet 12 a grand dram of the aperitif style and one that should be re-visited. Iwai Tradition is a blended Japanese whisky from Mars Shinshu distillery, situated up in the Japanese Alps.  We’ve been following Hautes Glaces since Rémy bought the distillery in 2017. Les Moissons is an organic single malt which was made, interestingly, up in the French Alps. I’ll bet that you haven’t had a Mannochmore recently. Other than the only available at the distillery offering, I’ve never seen an official bottling of Mannochmore. Thanks to the good folks at G&M, we can try a 16-
year-old independent bottling. Corryvreckan and Uigeadail… Uigeadail and Corryvreckan: The bench-marks of the Ardbeg range. Corry is bourbon cask matured and Uigie is sherry cask matured.
