Alors que 2025 a été une mauvaise année pour le whisky, 2026 pourrait s'annoncer semblable, voire pire. Depuis trois ans, la boisson écossaise perd chaque année une part de son chiffre d'affaires. En cause : la diminution de la consommation d'alcool dans le monde, et en particulier celle des jeunes générations, mais il y a aussi les taxes douanières états-uniennes, premier pays d'exportation du whisky écossais. De 10 % en 2025, elles sont passées à 15 % la semaine dernière. Ces atermoiements économiques de Donald Trump mettent à mal une industrie vitale pour l'Écosse et lucrative pour Londres. Dans un des entrepôts de la distillerie Fettercairn, dans les Highlands, des milliers de barils vieillissent 16, 22, voire 46 ans avant d'être mis en bouteille. Ce whisky, qui vient de fêter son 200e anniversaire est parti à l'assaut des États-Unis l'an dernier avec ses productions les plus rares, et ce malgré les taxes douanières imposées par Donald Trump « On s'est lancé aux États-Unis avec des whisky de plus de 24 ans. Donc nos bouteilles de 24, 28, 40, 46 ans. Et honnêtement ça a vraiment bien marché et nos whiskies ont reçu de bonnes critiques », dit Stewart Walker, responsable de la distillerie. Avec des prix allant de 675 livres, qui peuvent rapidement monter à 3 450, 9 000, et 20 000 livres, la marque a ciblé les États les plus riches avec des clients qui pouvaient se permettre 10 % de plus sur ces prix déjà élevés : New York, la Californie, et la Floride. Cette année, Fettercairn tente le reste du catalogue, dont le premier prix est à 60 dollars. Mais d'autres exportateurs de whisky ont beaucoup plus de difficultés. Le géant Diageo - qui possède les marques Johnny Walker ou Talisker - a réduit sa production à cause du recul de la demande. Au sein du groupe Suntory, deux distilleries (Laphroaig et Bowmore) ont même ouvert des plans de départ volontaire. En cause : une baisse de la consommation d'alcool dans le monde et la baisse significative des ventes de whisky écossais aux États-Unis. « Nous avons évidemment subi l'imposition des nouvelles taxes de 10 % en avril dernier, explique Emily Weaver Roads qui fait partie de l'association écossaise du whisky. Depuis cette date, nos exportations de whisky ont chuté de 15 % en volume. Les grandes distilleries ont des investissements et des connexions importantes aux États-Unis, mais nos petits producteurs ont aussi des employés et des investissements aux États-Unis. Alors, ces taxes ont un impact en particulier sur les plus petits producteurs pour qui les États-Unis sont vraiment un marché essentiel », explique-t-elle. À lire aussiEn Écosse, les droits de douane états-uniens inquiètent le marché du whisky « Parler de crise dans l'industrie du whisky est un peu fort » Reste que, selon Carolyn Watt, qui travaille pour le groupe Whyte and Mackay, derrière la distillerie de Fettercairn, la crise n'est peut-être que conjoncturelle : « Parler de crise dans l'industrie du whisky est un peu fort. Je pense que cela a ralenti, mais avec le Covid-19, les ventes étaient au plus haut, et peut-être que des gens pensaient que cela allait toujours durer, et du coup ils ressentent une crise. Mais je pense que l'on retourne à un niveau plus stable. Vous savez, c'est une industrie du long terme. Même si on a des fluctuations, il faut toujours penser sur 20 ans. » Mais pour les distilleries qui n'exportent pas outre-Atlantique, là aussi les temps sont durs. La distillerie de Angus, à Dundee, a annoncé une perte de 25 % de son chiffre d'affaires, par exemple. Les ventes ont beau augmenter, mais les taxes britanniques ont, elles, triplé. Ces taxes représentent aujourd'hui 70 % du prix d'une bouteille de whisky. À lire aussi«Dry January»: le marché mondial de l'alcool face à un tournant économique historique

Suntory Global Scotch Senior Scotch Ambassador, Simon Brooking, was interviewed for the "Rolex Whiskey Passion Project" to discuss his nearly 30-year career. Brooking detailed his 19 years with Laphroaig, emphasizing the brand's unique culture, the enduring legacy established by figures like Ian Hunter and Bessie Williamson, and the 30th anniversary of the highly personal "Friends of Laphroaig" program. They touched upon the ambassador's mission to dispel negative myths about Scotch by stressing the importance of patience, the growth of whiskey clubs in the US, and new developments within the Suntory Global Scotch portfolio, such as the reintroduction of traditional methods at the historic Glengarioch distillery.

Will and Chris count down their favorite albums of 2025.

Joshua and Jason announce the release of the final Online Exclusive bottling of 2025: a 25 year old Laphroaig from a refill Bourbon Hogshead and the announcement is set to the backdrop of some history of production at the Laphroaig Distillery as well as close to 30 years of Laphroaig drinking experience. That and some serious belly laughs (rabbit, rabbit!).  This dreamboat of Laphroaig, distilled in 1999, that's somehow both fruity and mineral-y at once, launches on Tuesday, December 9 at Noon EST on singlecasknation.com. It's a special, special Laphroaig, nae doot! ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

It's been a minute; thanks for checking back in! In this episode, Matt is joined by Michael, the man behind the popular "MilWatch"-themed @thepilotswatch, to talk about his feed, his watches, and his life as a US Navy helicopter pilot. Michael DEFINITELY came correct for this discussion, with one of Matt's grail watches as his “wrist check”, and a new (to us!) riff on a “Last Word” cocktail. Very cool! This is another fun one, even IF Michael confesses to liking Laphroaig(!) early on in the chat.

In this week's pour of Bourbon Bytes, Clifton dives into the hottest release yet from Wild Turkey: Russell's Reserve 13 Year Bourbon is back — and this time, it's clocking in at a blistering 123.8 proof.

We also explore the return of Stitzel-Weller with a jaw-dropping 24-year-old release priced at $1,600, and check in with Laphroaig's 2025 Cairdeas — a cask strength version of their beloved Lore. Then, in this week's Byte-Sized Review, Clifton finally uncorks the new Old Fitzgerald 7-Year Bottled-in-Bond wheated bourbon. Can this $60 Heaven Hill release live up to its decanter-clad cousins?

Laphroaig 10 Scotch Whisky Review – Is This the King of Peated Scotch?

James Walton, a passionate whiskey connoisseur and the driving force behind PureMalts, joins the conversation to share his deep-seated love for the spirit. PureMalts, as James explains, is dedicated to crafting exceptional, curated whiskey tasting experiences. His personal journey into the world of whisky began with a pivotal Forbes article highlighting the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, an inspiration that led him to a transformative trip to Scotland. Both James and Gavin recount their adventures with the Society, describing the unique locations they explored and the initial hurdles they faced in navigating the intricate language of whisky. Their discussion illuminates the Society's distinctive features, including its vast and diverse selection, the intriguing coded bottles, and the warm, inviting atmosphere. James particularly emphasizes the broader whiskey community's inclusive spirit, where genuine passion and active participation are prized far more than mere expertise or wealth. A significant portion of their conversation is dedicated to cherished memories of remarkable whiskies and tasting sessions. James vividly recalls his first noteworthy encounter with a Laphroaig from the Society, while Gavin shares captivating tales of rare and highly prized bottles. James further details PureMalts' mission, which centers on delivering curated tastings that feature extraordinary, elusive whiskies, designed to create lasting memories and cultivate a sense of fellowship.

Amy escaped the rain and cold of the Pacific Northwest and jetted off for the sunny Palm Desert. While there basking in the sun and hitting the links she decides she needs to buy a bottle of Laphroaig Oak Select scotch whisky and graciously brings it home for us to try. Luckily, we just happen to have some Laphroaig 10 Year sitting around to try it up against. Give us a listen, comment, and like.Cheers! 

Ep. 34: What the Eff-ect?! Buckle up, folks, because this episode is about to get a little...strange. Join us as we delve into some fascinating psychological effects and phenomena, all while sipping and savoring the rich, peaty goodness of Laphroaig Lore whiskey. First up, the autokinetic effect - the trippy illusion that a stationary point of light in the dark appears to be moving. We'll discuss how researchers have used this effect in their studies, and how it might just make your Laphroaig glass seem like it's dancing across the table. Don't worry, it's all in your head (we think). Next, we tackle the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, also known as frequency illusion. This is when something you just learned about suddenly starts popping up everywhere. Like how the Laphroaig Lore bottle design is now all you can see, even in your dreams. Is the whisky controlling your mind? Probably. Finally, we laugh about the Coolidge effect - the tendency for sexual interest to be revived by new partners, even after satiety with a previous one. We'll explore the evolutionary origins of this effect and how it manifests in the animal kingdom (and occasionally, human behavior). Just don't go trying to test this theory after a few too many drams, mmkay? Throughout our discussion, we'll be sipping and savoring the complex flavors of Laphroaig Lore. From its smoky, peaty notes to its hints of vanilla and spice, we'll dissect how this unique whisky perfectly complements the psychological topics at hand. Or is it the other way around? The lines may start to blur after a while.

All Our Social Links   On todays episode JB and Fancy Rob discuss various topics including their passion for drama, their love for whiskey, and their idea for a breakfast sausage churro. The conversation transitions to a discussion about awakening, with a focus on awakening the city. They explore the importance of seeing the city through the eyes of Jesus, working together in unity, and bringing people to Jesus. To awaken our city, we must see its people through the eyes of Jesus, work together in unity and joy, bring people to Jesus, and realize that this mission requires patience and perseverance. It is worth it to invest in people's lives and love them, even if they don't respond or change. Awakening our city requires patience and perseverance, and we may never be honored in our own city. We must trust Jesus with the results and not rely on our own power. Our ministry and mission field is wherever God has placed us, and we are called to joyfully work and sow the seeds of the gospel. The guys conclude with a controversial feature pour that takes them away from even the podcast name by sharing a Single Malt Scotch with Laphroaig 10-Year. Takeaways: Importance of seeing the city through the eyes of Jesus Bringing people to Jesus to awaken our city, we must see its people through the eyes of Jesus and work together in unity and joy. Bringing people to Jesus requires patience and perseverance, even if they don't respond or change. Our ministry and mission field is wherever God has placed us, and we are called to joyfully work and sow the seeds of the gospel. We must trust Jesus with the results and not rely on our own power or abilities. Awakening our city may require us to be patient and not seek recognition or honor in our own city.

Young Laphroaig gives the typical peat punch of the island, whereas mature malts from Caol Ila, Bowmore, and Ardbeg distillery provide smoothness and body. The cherry on top is a little dash of the extremely rare Port Ellen distillery adding a great deal of complexity. Islay Whisky at its best!This is a blended malt from vom Fass. It's based on about 80% young Laphroaig according to the guy at the store (I have come to take what guys at stores say about whisky with a pinch of salt) and the rest is mature Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Bowmore and a hint of Port Ellen (likely a teaspoon per cask just to make it fancy).VomFass is german for “From the cask”.  They specialize is quality olive oils and spiritsSupport the Show.Website:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Lagavulin is a peaty, yet gentle scotch. It's the more mature one when compared to it's neighbors (Laphroaig & Ardbeg). Nick Offerman worked with Lagavulin to age their whiskey in a Caribbean Rum Cask, and it just didn't work in our opinion. Have you had this before? Check out the video to find out! Thank you to our Sponsor Addys Wine and Liquor. If you are in the market for a new bottle of whiskey or some wine, this is the place to go. Located on Transit Road in Williamsville, they have all the right staff to guide you in the perfect direction. Download their App to be notified when they have events, allocated products, and sales, and they can also ship to you! Download the app here!Android link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cta.AddyFineWineApple Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/addys-lexis-wine-spirits/id1375492533 **Ethics Statement**All whiskey review is 100% honest and we have no obligation to review or give a higher rating just because it is sent to us. Any one that wants to send us a bottle can contact us through our Instagram, but know that it will be our honest rating. We want to provide all of you with a genuine analysis that you can take as our stamp of approval, and we wouldn't be able to have that if we inflated just because we received it for free. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kentucky's Wilderness Trail Distillery has grown over the last decade from a small barrel-a-day distillery to become one of the nation's largest Bourbon distilleries. Dr. Pat Heist and Shane Baker founded Wilderness Trail as an offshoot of Ferm Solutions, their consulting business that works with distillers and brewers around the world. This week on WhiskyCast In-Depth, we'll talk with Pat Heist about the origin of Wilderness Trail — in a rock band, of all places, and the circumstances that led to their decision to sell the distillery to Campari in late 2022. In the news, Laphroaig is planning a major expansion, while whisky auction prices have yet to recover from recent declines.

Barry MacAffer is leaving Laphroaig Distillery and his native Islay for a new adventure: building a malt whisky distillery in South Korea. This week on WhiskyCast In-Depth, Barry tells us why he's making the move now and what he'll miss most about Islay. In the news, the threat of tariffs hangs over the whisky industry again as the U.S. Presidential election heats up, another new distillery is in the works for Scotland, and Rosebank Distillery opens its doors to visitors for the first time. 

Beam Suntory has successfully tested the use of green hydrogen as a fuel source for directly-firing stills, and is part of a pilot project to create a hydrogen conversion unit that could be deployed at remote distilleries. We'll learn more about the potential of hydrogen as a fuel source for distillers on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Laphroaig is looking for a new manager, while R&B Distillers has received planning approval for a new distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland and Dr. Bill Lumsden of Glenmorangie makes a surprising admission about this year's Ardbeg Day release. 

Do you want to learn about Scotch whisky, tartans and kilts? Well, in this episode, host Reg Ferguson is invited by Simon Brooking from Beam Suntory to indulge in a conversational journey through the world of Scotch and Scottish fashion at New York's Copper and Oak. Simon, a senior ambassador with rich knowledge of Scotch heritage (he's a Scotsman so that makes sense), discusses the distinct flavors and intricacies of various Laphroaig and Bowmore whiskies. Simon is also quite the storyteller (I think it's a cultural thing). When it comes to fashion, wait till you hear them talking about tartans and kilts. No spoilers.

With Vanessa off for the weekend to explore the world of psychedelics, the podcast has been hijacked by a cabal of furious, loud, and lubricated Jews. Adaam, 3 martinis and a Laphroaig in, is joined by Newsweek opinion editor and author of Second Class Batya Ungar-Sargon, and Free Press reporter and host of The Re-Education podcast Eli Lake. The three have gathered to refute Jonathan Glazer's Jewishness being worth hijacking by anyone. In proper Talmudic engagement, Batya spits fire, Eli plays devil's advocate, and Adaam speaks up for the grammar Nazis. Be warned, this may be our most petty, potted, parochial, and problematic episode yet.Check out our ‘Inscrutable' blog and ‘Uncertainty' newsletter for thoughts and rants.
