What I do recall is that the product they were selling was a stay at the hotel, where you could distil your own spirit and take it away in a small cask - scotchwhisky.com suggests that a small amount of spirit was matured for 3 years and that there was even an 8yo, but the capacity was so small, that little if any is around today.<br />I will make some further enquiries, and post anything I do find out here as well as my own site.<br />As to Ncn'ean, I only found out about them have started distilling about three weeks ago - their site says they started distilling in March, bit they don't seem to have had much publicity.Whisky Cyclisthttp://whiskycyclist.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901620749345053885.post-14022802683080978712017-11-13T19:28:10.380+01:002017-11-13T19:28:10.380+01:00Thank You.

There is one more new distillery that you've not yet listed - Ncn'ean www.ncnean.com Drimnin in Morvern.<br />As for the joker, It still has a web presence, indeed a new one dated 2017. However the website uses pictures from other distilleries, as does the Facebook page.. There is no contact phone number on either the distillery's site or that of the linked Drumchork Lodge Hotel. A google search brings up the same number 01445 731242 as that listed by scotchwhisky.com, but it comes back as an Invalid Number when you try to ring it. There is a London phone number on the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/pg/lochewedistillery/), but that cuts off immediately.<br />There were a number of posts on the Facebook page during August using, as mentioned above, photos from other distilleries, and appearing to suggest that things were still functioning, though the use of the 'e' in the spelling of whiskey is also odd.<br />The scochwhisky.com entry is not dated but states "In 2015 Drumchork Lodge Hotel and Loch Ewe distillery was put up for sale to allow the Clotworthys to retire. It is currently under offer."<br />The most recent TripAdvisor reviews also point to its demise:<br />"Dropped by on a mid week afternoon, but both the micro-distillery and the hotel next door were shut-up. Checking with the owners of the Aultbea hotel down in the village, the owners had given up and moved away. Shame - looked as if it would have been quite promising" (6 June 2017)<br />"Located a little off the Aultbea Road, this 'unique' distillery offers the whisky enthusiast a real alternative to the corporate distillery tour. It you want to be insulted - you will get it, if you want to be told to 'hurry up I am about to start a tour' (only consisting of two misguided souls!) - you will get it, if you want to be ripped off - don't worry, you will get it. Best keep the £10 tour fee and enjoy a proper dram elsewhere. Dire." (11 April 2017)<br />Reviews from 2016 were much better, though the reviews of the Drumchork Hotel have been consistently bad.Whisky Cyclisthttp://whiskycyclist.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901620749345053885.post-82317042341283967022017-09-10T04:05:10.750+02:002017-09-10T04:05:10.750+02:00Carsten: Evan Williams, the quintessential bourbon...Carsten: Evan Williams, the quintessential bourbon almost, is charcoal filtered...not in the same way but it is charcoal filtered.

I've gone through two bottles of their single barrel and one of the cask strength single barrel. While drinking, they appear to be fine TN whiskeys/"bourbons". What I've found each and every time, however, is that they're in some way... boring. That's not quite the right word, but despite the fact that they are tasty, I grow weary of drinking them. It's a phenomenon I can't say I've experienced before with whiskeys I like. My assumption/hypothesis is that whatever is being filtered out by the JD "Lincoln County Process" should be _left in_. OTOH, this doesn't account for George Dickel TN whiskey (though they do the LCP a little differently), for which I have a deep and abiding love....ZXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901620749345053885.post-50634898270079765272017-09-06T10:31:11.935+02:002017-09-06T10:31:11.935+02:00Organoleptic change means a change in flavour/smel...Organoleptic change means a change in flavour/smell. If a process causes organoleptic change doesn't mean you added something. So an organoleptic change can't be considered as an addition and is a meaningless term in this discussion. Theoretically an addition that causes no organoleptic change would actually disqualify a bourbon to be a bourbon. Like e150.

In my interview with director of distilling Jeff Arnett of JD about 10 days ago he stated that the charcoal mellowing process is considered as an additional organoleptic change to the whiskey (pre-maturation) and therefore as such defined as an addition of flavour. I did a remark concerning this to be due to removal of flavour and not an addition, but he replied that so was the ruling (and I understood it to be from some sort of authority). I am not in a position to question his word on this.
