She talks about the history of Campbeltown and its whisky heritage as well as what she's looking forward to at this year's festival. From Glen Scotia to Springbank!

Om vi fick och hade plånboken, så skulle alla 306 flaskor av Springbank 12 Cask Strength landa i våra whiskyhyllor, så bra är den här batchen! Men det finns mycket annat gott i glasen också. Vi provar Longrow 18, Kilchoman Loch Gorm och en fin Caol Ila från Cooper's Choice. Dessutom så har Daniel en 21-årig Scapa som inte går av för hackor i sitt glas. Och självklart så sållar vi bland veckans alla släpp, håll till godo. Skål på er och ha en trevlig WhiskyVecka

Did you know that in addition to our Brewers Journal Podcast, we also run The Distillers Journal Podcast, too? And there's where today's guest episode comes from.If we're lucky our careers, coupled with an appetite for new experiences, can allow us to visit, work and live in different countries around the world.And in the case of today's guest, she's done just that. And as a result the Scottish distilling industry is all the better for it.Because the Scottish Whisky industry is blessed with a wealth of fantastic, talented individuals. But there's probably very whose journey has taken them from Sweden via Paris then eventually, aged 21, to Scotland.But that's exactly how Jenny Karlsson did it.Jenny has a decorated career in Whisky that has taken in roles at outfits such as Springbank, Kilkerran and Brown-Forman, as well as studies at the world-famous Heriot-Watt University. And for the last four-plus years, she has been the marketing communications manager at Ardnamurchan Distillery.Established in 2014, the distillery embodies the spirit of its namesake peninsula, renowned for its wild landscapes and untamed character. From traditional double distillation to blockchain technology, Ardnamurchan embrace heritage, innovation and sustainable practises throughout the whisky making process. They use a traditional mix of American and European oak, ex-sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon casks to mature the biggest share of their whisky, but they also enjoy having fun with other types of oak casks that have previously held anything from white wine to Mezcal, and Sauternes to Madeira.And in this episode of The Distillers Journal Podcast, we delve into Jenny's career in the whiskey industry and the impact that social media and video-sharing platforms such as YouTube have had on the sector.We also discuss the importance of striking a work/life balance, especially when you have a young family, Jenny's love of knowledge sharing and education and why now, after roles at a number of other revered distilleries, she says her position at Ardnamurchan feels tailor-made for her.
Na, wo können wir uns geographisch wohl bewegen, wenn wir von der ehemaligen Whisky-Hauptstadt der Welt sprechen?Richtig! Campbeltown auf der schönen schottischen Halbinsel Kintyre im Südwesten des Landes.Wo sich früher teils über 30 Destillerien tummelten, sind heute noch gerade 3 übrig geblieben, von welchen wir uns eine ganz besondere für einen schmackhaften Deep Dive herausgesucht haben.Genauer gesagt geht es heute um “Das Tal der Schotten” - Glen Scotia.Klar haben wir aus historischen Gründen mit enormen Inter-Destillerösen Beziehungen auch über Springbank - und insbesondere über Glengyle - philosophiert.Aber unsere 4 Glen Scotias hatten's in sich!Wie wir bei dieser Reise zu Profi-Wrestling, Nacktheit, Nasenhaaren und Queen Victoria abdriften konnten, erfahrt ihr nur, wenn ihr rein hört!Viele Spaß bei unserer ersten Campbeltown Folge!

The “Barley to Bottle” tour at Springbank Distillery is probably one of the best experiences you can have when you're passionate about whisky. It's an extensive access-all-areas tour and tasting which culminates in having the chance to blend one's very own bottle of Springbank in their blending lab. “Why are you telling us all of that?”, you might ask. Well, because it is just another thing that makes Springbank Springbank and truly special. Additionally, said blending lab was the place of recording for this very episode. After having done the “Barley to Bottle” tour the day prior (of course), we came back to meet Findlay Ross, Springbank's director of production and a true professional when it comes to creating whiskies, at the very place of our own amateur attempts of blending a nice bottle of Springbank.After having recorded a Springbank episode with Nicole Lindsay about three years ago, it was about time for a little update and we had a great time discussing all things Springbank once more, this time with the wonderful Findlay Ross. Find out about the last remaining secrets of Springbank Distillery, about Findlay's rather unconventional path to becoming their director of production and about Findlay's take on the term “Campbeltown funk”.Last but not least we have to say that we are really happy that Findlay is so much better at making whisky and recording podcasts than his New York Giants are at playing American Football at the moment – but let's not get into that… (just listen until the very end).
Det här vill ni inte missa om ni är minsta intresserade av Springbank för deras buteljeringar 2024 är en av de bästa årgångarna på senare år, i alla fall om Daniel får bestämma. Iain är lite mer tveksam men försvarar sig med brasklappen att det kan bero på dagsformen. Skål på er och ha en trevlig WhiskyVecka

Efter bottle kill på Jeroens högt skattade Ben Nevis 10 går Mathias ut hårt med en Box Quercus II Alba medan David kontrar med sjuårigt fatsample OCH singelmalt på plastflaska. Efter ett pappaskämtigt instick från australiensiska Phineas Frog kommer vi till grävlingens kärna: Smakar Mackmyra roadkill och är Lennart Hero en äkta affärldsvärldshjälte? Mathias och Jeroen himlar med ögonen inför Davids ultra-deluxe-galore-provning med en whisky från 30-talet. Nej, inte 1930-talet, utan hundra år äldre. Vi ser fram emot rapporten! Vad var det i glaset? David smuttade på ett sjuårigt fatsample orökig bourbonlagrad Arran – gott, lovande, inte redo – och Mack av Mackmyra. Mathias hade en Box Quercus II Alba minsann. Och Jeroen gjorde BK (bottle kill) på Ben Nevis 10. https://theoldbarrelhouse.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Dobsons-Phineas-Frog.jpg Phineas Frog från Dobsons distillery – bra eller anus?

Om inte det är kungligt nog så bjuder vi på Royal Brackla 1924 utvald för den japanska kejsarens 60-årsjubileum, följt av en episk 30-talsflight med Macallan, Mortlach, Strathisla och andra osannolika Speysidebuteljeringar. Rariteter från Springbank, Talisker och Highland Park dyker upp titt som tätt innan det är dags för en Islay-flight från 60-talet och ännu äldre sorter med bland annat Ardbeg, Port Ellen och Lagavulin. När namedroppingen blir för påtaglig kör vi en flight med bortglömda spökdestillerier som Dunglass, Ben Wywis, Kinclaith med mera.

Based in New York, Elana Berkowitz and Courtney Leimkuhler are co-founders and partners at Springbank, where they focus on sectors that support working women and their families, largely in three key areas: the future of work, the care economy, and household consumer services. Their thesis is driven by growing demand from employers, insurers, and the government, recognizing the economic impact of caregiving, which includes fields like teaching, child care, nursing and home health care. “We look at the infrastructure to serve the needs of working women and their families as something that's underfunded, under-innovated, and kind of a huge opportunity hiding in plain sight,” said Elana. We talked about backing solutions that combine business acumen with empathy for care workers while considering ethical AI use. They also shared insights on how to pitch effectively, stressing the importance of addressing the 'how' alongside the opportunity size. Runtime: 39:53 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (1:21) Courtney and Alana share Springbank VC's origin story. (4:03) Their investment thesis: the care economy, future of work, household services.

Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc UK head Jacob Carter talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the current state of the Asian whisky market and emerging trends for 2023 and 2024. According to Carter, while whisky volumes have increased by 10%, the overall value of rare bottles, especially those priced over £1000, has seen a decline. He shared insights into how ultra-high-end bottles still achieve record-breaking prices, but the market dynamics are shifting toward lower-priced bottles, where volume is growing by 18%. Carter also touched on the rise of premiumisation in the market, where buyers are willing to pay more for single malts and aged whiskies from brands like Macallan, Glenfiddich, and Springbank. He highlighted Hong Kong's role as a major whisky hub, benefiting from a tax-free environment for luxury goods. Jacob noted that despite macroeconomic pressures, the demand for premium and collectible whiskies remains strong. “The whisky bottle market in Asia, particularly in Hong Kong, China, and Japan, does remain strong, with continued growth in sales volumes driven by its demand for premium and collectable bottles,” Carter stated, while cautioning about counterfeiting concerns and the impact of economic pressures on luxury goods.

The Oldest Independent Bottlers and a Brand New Scottish Distillery Are you fascinated by the rich history of whisky and the art of independent bottling? Join me as I welcome esteemed friend Gary Pickard, Northeast Regional Manager of Pacific Edge Wine and Spirits. Gary takes us on a captivating journey through the histories of two iconic independent bottlers, William Cadenheads and AD Rattray. From George Duncan's founding of William Cadenheads in 1842 to Robert W. Duthie's tragic end and the company's resilience through decades of challenges, this episode is packed with intriguing insights and personal anecdotes from visits to Cadenheads boutique stores in London and Edinburgh. As we continue, we explore the storied legacy of Campbeltown whiskies and the remarkable survival of distilleries like Springbank and Glen Scotia. Gary shares his deep knowledge of AD Rattray, tracing its evolution from Andrew Dewar Rattray's grocery store in 1868 to its current state under Tim Morrison's leadership. We delve into the Morrison family's significant impact on the whisky industry, including their acquisitions of Bowmore, Glengarry, and Auchentoshan, now under Suntory's ownership. This episode underscores the critical role independent bottlers play in bringing the hidden gems of lesser-known distilleries to light. Finally, we unravel the complexities of Islay whiskies, discussing the distinctive features of renowned distilleries like Bowmore, Lagavulin, and Bruichladdich. We explore the cultural contrasts between Japanese and Anglo-American approaches to whisky production and the challenges faced during Suntory's acquisition of Beam. Additionally, we touch on the resurgence of distilleries within Glasgow's city limits, spotlighting the modern marvel that is Clydeside Distillery. This episode is a rich tapestry of whisky history, culture, and the intricate world of independent bottling that any whisky enthusiast won't want to miss.

In this episode of Takin' Care of Lady Business®, Jennifer Justice speaks with Courtney Leimkuhler, a seasoned professional with a background in financial services began her career at Goldman Sachs, gaining valuable experience in electronic trading, fintech, and regulatory matters. However, she decided to take a year off to travel and reflect on her career goals, giving her a unique perspective on navigating career paths and taking risks. Courtney believes in letting go of the idea that there is a specific path or set of boxes to check off to achieve success. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of being prepared to make the best of whatever opportunities come along and being open to alternative ways of acquiring skills. Her experiences, from starting in a traditional role at Goldman Sachs to co-founding Spring Bank, a company focused on building better childcare and making paid leave universal, have taught her the value of embracing flexibility, seizing unexpected opportunities, and adaptability. Here is what to expect on this week's show: Learn the importance of trusting your instincts when making career decisions. Discover why you should be adaptable and willing to take calculated risks to achieve career growth. Why you should align your career decisions with societal challenges and find ways to make a positive difference. Understand how to critically evaluate advice and make decisions based on your unique circumstances. Quotes: “We have massive problems to solve. I'm talking about one of them. But we have some really big societal challenges that I'd love to see more smart people with experience, without experience, engineering, everyone working together." - Courtney Leimkuhler “My perception was like those practical and logistical supports were actually the main barrier and the way we worked was the problem." - Courtney Leimkuhler "I think just sort of letting go very early on of this idea that there is a path and there's a specific set of boxes you're trying to check off has proved to be very valuable to me over the rest of my career." - Courtney Leimkuhler “Nothing is objectively bad or good. It's sort of trying to understand what is the set of experiences that is leading to this piece of advice and do I think that those sets of experiences are actually relevant to me in this circumstance." - Courtney Leimkuhler This episode is sponsored by Medjet.

Valuations for rare whiskies have started to slow down after being one of the best performing alternative investments over the last ten years. The latest Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index shows a four percent decline year-over-year in the value of the rare whiskies that make up the index. Is this the start of a trend? We'll ask rare whisky consultant Andy Simpson, who helps compile the index for Rare Whisky 101. In the news, Scotch Whisky exports fell during the first six months of 2023 compared to last year, with a sharp 20 percent decrease in volume. Irish whiskey exports rose during 2022, according to a new report released this week, and Hedley Wright, the longtime chairman of Springbank owner J&A Mitchell Co. Ltd. passed away this month at the age of 92.
The world of Scotch Whisky is rich with different intricacies and flavor profiles, and one such characteristic that is often discussed is the "region" in which a Scotch is produced. In this episode, I break down the regions of Scotland: Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown, and I even briefly discuss a sub-region of the highlands known as the Islands. Of course, I also do a full review of Springbank 10yr, a single malt scotch from the Campbeltown region of Scotland. Support the show on Patreon: patreon.com/whiskeynoobs
