7 The Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Limited Edition, by Suntory The Whisky This whisky is a blend of carefully selected malts distilled and casked in milestone years throughout the band’s 50 year history, including a Yamazaki malt from the year the band formed (1962) that has been long-aged in mizunara (Japanese oak) casks. Some Rolling Stones milestones and corresponding malts used: 1962: The Rolling Stones formed - Yamazaki malt 1971: Lips and tongue logo completed - Yamazaki malt 1972: Exile on Main St., the album including “Rocks Off,” used in Suntory TV commercials is releasedYamazaki malt1981: Signature song “Start Me Up” released - Yamazaki malt 1990: First performance in Japan’s Tokyo Dome Hakushu malt, Chita grain Tasting Notes Its weighty, complex aroma calls to mind both dried and ripened fruits, and even cacao and espresso, and its rich heaviness and slight bitterness expand in the mouth with a velvety smoothness. The aftertaste is a pleasant and expansive woodiness akin to the fragrance of the finest aloes wood, and a soft smokiness.

SCOTTISH WHISKIES - THE FIRST EDITIONS
The First Editions is the flagship range from Edition Spirits based in Glasgow. The proprietor, Andrew Laing, is a third generation whisky man and part of the family behind Hunter Laing Ltd. Just like his father Stewart Laing, Andrew has grown up and spent his whole life in the industry. The First Editions range is best characterized by elegant, complex malts from the Speyside region. “We are particularly fond of distilleries such as Cragganmore as well as the lesser-known Linkwood, Longmorn, Mortlach and Miltonduff; names which command huge respect within the whisky industry. We tend to bottle no more than 3 or 4 casks every month, and have around 15 separate First Editions bottlings in the constantly-changing range at any time.�

Glen Scotia, Campbeltown –one of only three distilleries in Campbeltown. Glen Scotia has had an intermittent production history and generally is an under-utilized distillery. Built in 1832 by the Galbraith family, it passed into West Highland Malt Distillers in 1924. Unfortunately that company went bankrupt due to the implementation of the Prohibition Law in USA. Production resumed in 1933 after which it passed hands again a couple more times until its present owners Glen Catrine Bonded Warehouse Ltd took it over in 1994. Production has been stop/go with only approximately 130,000 litres produced per year, 20% of its capacity, making it one of the smallest outputs in Scotland.
Linkwood, Speyside – located near Elgin. Building started in 1821 with full production of whisky in 1825. In 1872/1873 the distillery was rebuilt on the site of the original with the help of architect Cathcart Methven. The distillery takes its water from the springs of Millbuies Loch. There are two still houses, Linkwood A and Linkwood B which was built in 1971. The distillery is currently in the ownership of Diageo. The majority of its product goes into blending for the notable labels of Johnnie Walker and White Horse.
Starting Price: HK$ 1,500
Tasting Notes*: Nose - Floral, rich, some fruits with smoke and honey. Taste - Complex and very punchy attack, with plenty of spices (ginger, white pepper). Finish - malty/biscuit notes on the finish. Takes a little splash of water quite well.
Tasting Notes*: Nose - Fragrant, fruity and floral. There is some honey and butterscotch, citrus notes of lemon peel and some vanilla syrup. Taste - Quite syrupy, with toffee sweetness, creamy with oak. Finish - Medium long, sweet and spicy at the same time. Vanilla and spicy notes of ground ginger at the end. 31

Macallan, Speyside – Founded in 1824. the distillery is in the Craigellechie district which lies on the border of the Speyside whisky region. Macallan has the smallest stills in Speyside, 21 of them. Up to 1980 the distillery itself was named Elchies distillery but this was changed to The Macallan although the product of the distillery has always been known as Macallan. At this time the decision was made to concentrate only on the single malt market which was very small but this turned out to be a very good decision as nowadays more and more single malt is being produced across the industry.
Teaninich, Highland – A Highland distillery an hour drive up along the North East coast from Inverness. The distillery was founded in 1817 and was part of the Teaninich Estate. In 1970 the distillery was expanded from 4 stills to 6. The old side of the distillery was mothballed in 1984 and then completely demolished in 199 leaving just the ‘new’ side in operation. There will be another renovation of the distillery as announced in 2013 by Diageo. The distillery’s is used for generic fillings with single malt expressions from the distillery’s own bottling being uncommon. Currently the distillery is owned by Diageo with much of the distillery’s output going to the Johnnie Walker blends, Haig, and VAT 69.
Tasting Notes*: Nose - A malty fragrance, there is vanilla toffee some heather honey, then a spice grip of cinnamon with butterscotch. Taste - Rich, velvety and mouth coating, a lovely barley sugar edge, runny honey, vanilla yogurt and some ginger and cinnamon spices. Finish - Lingering and luscious, sweet and spicy at the same time.
Tasting Notes*: Nose - Fruity and spicy, candied apple, brown sugar, spicy ginger, dark fruit and dried raisins. Taste - At first sweet, followed by a spicy explosion of ginger and cinnamon. Complemented by dried fruits like raisins and dates, as well as well-mouth tannins. Finish Lingering, delicate spicy dried with the fruit notes. Does very well with a good splash of water to round it out. *(TFE) = Tasting notes supplied by The First Editions

Did you know? The Macallan Replica Edition 1861 – a rare discontinued bottling, not available anymore. The Macallan Replica Edition 1861 is the second of Macallan's famous 'Replica' series.
Macallan酒廠親自蒸餾，瓶和酒本身 都是1861年出品的限量復刻版。
In 1998 The Macallan acquired a very rare bottle of 1861 from the private collection of John McWilliam, a shopkeeper established in Speyside during the middle of the 19th Century who used to offer a list of fine wines and spirits which he bought by the cask and bottled himself. The Macallan distillery located close by on the opposite bank of the river Spey was John McWilliam’s favourite.
66 The Macallan Replica Edition 1861 Distilled at the Macallan Distillery (Speyside) in 1993. Distillery bottled. 42.7%, 70cl. Starting Price: HK$ 4,500
The Macallan presented Bob Dalgarno, Macallan Chief Whisky Maker, with the formidable challenge of replicating it. "I drew a tiny sample from the bottle with a hypodermic syringe inserted through the long driven cork. It was surprisingly fresh and vibrant, clearly The Macallan, but full of youthful vitality. Of course, we do not know the age at which it had been bottled, but judging from its golden colour and relative robustness in character, we suspect the whisky was matured in oak sherry casks from Spain. Together with my team of expert nosers, I began to comb through our warehouses of maturing casks searching for whisky which matched the profile. The problem was that every time we went back to the original it seemed to be revealing new layers of complexity.” In the end Bod Dalgarno and his team vatted together twenty-eight casks, at different ages, to achieve a balanced profile which reflects the true character, aroma and flavour of this 1861 whisky. As well as replicating the whisky, Macallan were determined to recreate the 1861 bottle and label. The original bottle had been hand blown and closed with a driven cork and lead capsule - all characteristic features of its age and provenance. Master glassmakers, Stölzle Flaconnage of Nottingly, West Yorkshire, fabricated a new mould and carefully added colour to the molten glass until it matched the original. Even the flaws in the 1860s bottle were replicated. Tasting Notes: "The nose displays citrus, dried fruits with spice and is lightly floral with hints of toffee, wood smoke, apple, light oil and malt. The palate reveals spice, light lemon-citrus, resin and lightly smoked oak flavours with hints of toffee re-emerging. Lingering slightly sweet aftertaste of spice, subtle smoked wood and malt.” Bob Dalgarno, Macallan Chief Whisky Maker. "The palate is slippery-smooth. Very sweet. Perfumy. Anis. Restrained fruitiness. Candied orange peel. Delicious sherry character. Great depth of flavour. Quite an achievement. Like the previous ‘replica’ edition, this is more delicate than the robustly sherried Macallans of today." Michael Jackson, Whisky Writer.

BLENDED SCOTCH & GRAINS Did you know? Blended Whiskies & Grain Whiskies While single malt whiskies (i.e. made from malted barley only and coming from a single distillery) have been the center of attention for the last few years, whisky aficionados are rediscovering – notably with the recent rise in popularity of Japanese whiskies – the quality, smoothness and flavor profile of blended whiskies. Grain whiskies have a distinct character of their own (toffee, butterscotch, toast aromas, velvety texture) which shall not miss piquing the interest of the true whisky enthusiasts! Grain whisky refers to any whisky made partially from grains other than malted barley, like corn, wheat or rye. Grain whiskies can contain some malted barley. The vast majority of grain whisky goes into blends - in fact, grain whiskies are critical for the production of blended whiskies as they knit together the real flavor from the single malts - , but there are a small and growing number of specialist grain bottlings, either by established grain distilleries such as Girvan or by acclaimed independent bottlers such as Moon Import, Signatory, Sovereign, etc. Exciting times – at last – for grain whisky! Caledonian is another ‘lost’ distillery of Scotland. Established in Edinburgh, Lowlands, in 1885, it was one of Scotland’s biggest distilleries, however, it was finally closed down in 1988. North British is one of Scotland’s largest and most emblematic Scotch Grain Whisky distillery. The North British does not market a brand of its own as almost their production goes into famous blends such as The Famous Grouse, J&B Rare, Johnnie Walker Black Label and Cutty Sark.
