Vaporizing Whisky – Whiskey Cloud of Peace

Here’s an interesting way to consume whisky, courtesy of James May and Oz Clark on the BBC’s Man Lab show:

Essentially you pressurize a bottle, one that has a bit of whisky at the bottom, with a hand pump and then rapidly depressurize it. That vaporizes some of the whisky, which you then inhale. I’m not sure how safe it is but it’s remarkably clever. And the patrons seem to love it!

The Glenrothes Whisky Maker Contest Highlights

I had no idea that Glenrothes was having a Whisky Maker contest, calling it the “The Glenrothes Whisky Maker contest,” in which they were looking for amateur whisky makers from all across the globe. The contest ran from October 2010 to January 2011 and four winners were chosen to spend a week in Scotland this May, with this video being a summary of the highlights on that trip. Two winners were from the UK, one from the United States, and one hailed from Taiwan!

Here’s the video, which has some pretty fantastic production quality:

I’ve seen the distillery before but I’ve never tried any of their expressions. Perhaps that will change this year!

Linsey at Lush Life tries a taste from an expensive bottle of The Dalmore, which costs a staggering $176,000 a bottle, though it’s unclear what the exact name is (not that it is that important, wasn’t like I was going to buy some!).

Check it out, quite entertaining:

The man doing most of the talking is none other than the famed Richard Paterson, Master Blender at Whyte & Mackay.
