Finishing #GrainThursday with The Tweedale Grain of Truth Peated a blend of 50% peated malt based grain & 50% wheat based grain. A combination of whisky from @LochLomondMalts Coffey Stills on the malt side of the distillery & grain whisky from the grain side of the distillery.
Today I was admitted to the Freedom of the City of London by Redemption of the Worshipfully Company of Distillers. Probably easier to explain in person over a few drams 🥃
As @kccjf and I recently passed both @RaasayWhisky and @torabhaig on our 500 mile virtual West Coast Whisky Trail, it would be a shame not to celebrate.
Next distillery… @Distillery1826
@tweeddaleblend@lych_gate We had 6 different whiskies in total. We also tried Mackmyra Brukswhisky, Lakes The One (Orange Wine Cask), Starward Left Field, Legent Bourbon and Glenfiddich Fire and Cane.
Grain of Truth went down well and surprised people as a Single Grain (we blind tasted them).
Whisky No2 from last weeks tasting was @tweeddaleblend Grain of Truth Single Grain Scotch Whisky.
50% wheat + 50% malted barley, matured in bourbon barrels & finished for 9 months in Oloroso sherry hogsheads.
A limited release, 46% abv, natural colour, non-chill filtered.
“We’ve been taken aback by the hugely positive response from whisky fans right across the world, with 10,000 entering the ballot in the first 24 hours alone."

@whisky_antiques Very nice! The Coldstream Brewery started in the late 1790’s about a 100 years earlier. J&A Davidson we’re established in 1820 & acquired the brewery around 1865. There are still some full bottles in @ColdstreamGds Museum in the market Square.
