Kommentar: Ny serie fra Diageo
Vi må bare håbe det er fadstyrke den her gang.
Mest interessant er vel en anderledes aftapning af Oban, ikke mange forskellige vi har set af dem til menneskepenge....

Med de her priser sikrer Diageo sig nok at de ikke skal på arbejde og vælge fade til næste flasker lige med det samme. Det her ligner mere et reklamestunt for display end et forsøg på seriøst at aftappe whisky

Diageo launches its first ever complete collection of single-cask malt whiskies
Diageo has announced the launch of its first single-cask collection of single malt Scotch whiskies. This is the first time that Scotland's biggest estate of single malt distilleries has issued a comprehensive series of single-cask bottlings.
Labelled The Managers' Choice, the rare limited-edition series is aimed at collectors and connoisseurs who will enjoy owning and exploring an unusual expression of their favourite single malt or even a whole anthology of highly individual single malts, chosen to represent each of 27 distilleries' distinctive but authentic whisky signature.
The releases are being staged in batches over the next year. September 2009 sees the first release of six malts.
Each distillery is represented in The Managers' Choice by a bottling of its single malt whisky drawn from one single cask, selected after a careful examination of distillery stocks. The cask was nosed, tasted, discussed and finally chosen as the most distinctive expression of that distillery's single malts by a judging panel of acknowledged experts, including leading maturation experts and the distillery managers themselves.
In many cases, unusual cask woods will have had their influence on the final result. Perfect maturation and spirit quality have been the criteria, resulting in a bottling that delights with original and sometimes unexpected flavours whilst allowing the distillery character to still shine through.
Depending on the size of the cask and the rate of evaporation over the years since it was filled, the volume of bottles obtained can vary between approximately 600 and as little as 200. These are, consequently, extremely rare and distinctive whiskies.
Once picked, each cask is bottled at its natural cask strength, without chill filtering. Nothing is allowed to affect the natural taste and aromas of the whisky. This means that the liquid the connoisseur pours into his or her glass is exactly as it emerged directly from the cask when it was hand-picked a few months earlier by the experts "“ it's as good as a dram drawn from the cask in the warehouse itself.
Diageo whisky specialist Craig Wallace explained the challenge of selecting a single cask for a bottling that will be made available to a discerning and knowledgeable consumer audience: "When you're selecting casks for a bigger bottling, you can work with a wider variation of maturity, distillery character and wood influence because you can even it out and aim for consistency.
"But when you are bottling a single cask, you can't do that: you have to get the balance totally right when selecting the cask. And it's highly unlikely, whatever single cask you choose this time, that you'd ever be able to replicate that precise flavour profile the next time you look for one. So finding a single cask with just the right balance is actually very challenging."

Så hellere finde en god uafhængig aftapning på ontrent 1/4-1/3 af prisen, hvis det endelig skal stå på en single cask fra Diageos destillerier. Lad så samlerne smide deres penge på serien, som jeg håber almindelige forbrugere holder sig langt væk fra.

Har læst det et par gange, men synes ikke lige han har overbevist mig om andet end at de ikke helt har fattet virkeligheden endnu.

Oban 2000/2009 'Managers' Choice' (58.7%, OB, cask #1186, 534 bottles - 91 points
Teaninich 1996/2009 'Managers' Choice' (55.3%, OB, cask #9802, 246 bottles) - 84 points
Linkwood 1996/2009 'Managers' Choice' (58.2%, OB, cask #10552, 480 bottles) - 86 points
Cardhu 1997/2009 'Managers' Choice' (57.3%, OB, cask #3362, 252 bottles) - 91 points
Mortlach 1997/2009 'Managers' Choice' (57.1%, OB, cask #6802, 240 bottles) - 84 points
Glen Elgin 1998/2009 'Managers' Choice' (61.1%, OB, cask #3678, 534 bottles) - 86 points
Quick conclusion: the young Cardhu and Oban are clearly ahead of the pack in my opinion and indeed of stellar quality. The Glen Elgin and Linkwood are very good as well but maybe just a little less ‘outta-this-world'. The Mortlach may lack a bit of the distillery's usually splendid profile (an unexpected choice of cask in my view) whilst the Teaninich is very good but a little too ‘modern' for my taste. Globally, all six are above par.

Sakset fra www.whatdoesjohnknow.com
Among the seven expressions that feature in this third release are several single malts familiar to many malt whisky drinkers "“ Caol Ila™, Glenkinchie™, Glen Ord™ and Royal Lochnagar™.
But Dailuaine™, Inchgower™ and Mannochmore™ normally enjoy only very limited availability.
Each of the whiskies is drawn from one single oak cask, picked after a careful examination of distillery stocks, and bottled at its natural cask strength. The number of bottles obtained from the chosen casks can vary between approximately 640 and as little as 200.
So these are rare and distinctive whiskies. Aimed at collectors and connoisseurs, prices range from £200 to £300 per bottle.
The fourth and final release is scheduled for May.
