The Distillation of Whisky 1927-1931 is not just a book, but a whole project dedicated to understanding whisky making in the first part of the 20th century. The James Eadie team approached a group of distilleries well known for their love of experimentation, and asked them to use the information from the book to recreate a whisky of the era, replicating ingredients and techniques to create literally old-fashioned whisky. And the distilleries did not disappoint.
They're still maturing, but in this tasting we will be trying spirits from Ardnamurchan, Dornoch, Holyrood, Inchdairnie, Lochlea and an 'Unnamed Farm Distillery in the Heart of the Kingdom of Fife'.
Joining us to lead us through the project is Leon Kuebler from James Eadie, lead researcher for the book, and Dave Broom and Arthur Motley, hosts of the Liquid Antiquarian YouTube channel.
This is a true once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore whisky history with three of the leaders in the field – and to try some tasty spirits while you do.
