News from Dunphail Distillery this week was that production has finally commenced earlier this month with the first spirit running off the stills on October 6th. The Bimber Distillery team, behind this Scottish expansion describe the new spirit as being "fat and fruity" thanks to traditional Scotch whisky production methods, highlighted by their very own floor maltings (first time since 1898 a Speyside distillery was built with one), and direct-fired stills.
Through Dramfool's exclusive partnership with K&L Wine Merchants, a quartet of sister single casks from Caol Ila are coming to the states. The sister casks were all serendipitously distilled on America's Independence Day, July 4th, 2008. "In April of 2021 all were reracked into the freshly emptied barrels of the Jim McEwan Signature Series from Dramfool for extended finishing." The first two casks have already hit the shelves, with the remaining two to follow next year.
