In our third live tasting Ben, Steve, and the rest of the Beast Masters sit down with Tricia Chimento and taste through a spectacular lineup of single cask selections from Signatory Vintage.
Steve and Ben chat with James and Peter Wills of Kilchoman Distillery on the opening night of their 2016 US East Coast Tour. After leading a tasting at the Brandy Library in New York covering the full range of Kilchoman's offerings, James and Peter gave us some candid insight into all things Kilchoman from the unique perspective of two guys who literally grew up inside the workings of one of Scotland's few farm to bottle distilleries. We cover everything from opening the first new distillery on Islay in over 120 years to the craft of making Kilchoman's awesome malts to the best and worst jobs in the distillery.
Beast Masters Club sits down with Joshua Hatton, founder of Whisky Jewbilee and Single Cask Nation, as well as brand expert for Impex Beverages. Impex is the importer of Kilchoman, the first new distillery on Islay in over a hundred years. Josh scored us a small allocation of a very limited release Kilchoman. A cask strength version of their Machir Bay single malt bottled in celebration of Kilchoman's East Coast American Tour.
