{"title":"Independent Bottlers","description":"Independent Bottlers or IB's or Indies are individuals or companies that buy casks from distilleries or from middle men called brokers and create their own bottles. Some such as Gordon and Macphail (founded 1895), Cadenhead (founded 1842) and Berry Bros and Rudd (founded 1698). There have been famous Scottish independent bottlers such as Johnnie Walker and the Chivas Brothers that acquired distilleries and built whisky empires. Some of the greatest whiskies produced in the twentieth century have been bottled by Italian independent bottlers such as Samaroli, Intertrade, Moon Imports and Sestante. You don't have to be a century old to be a great independent bottler - SMWS, Signatory Vintage, Adelphi, North Star, Elixir, Hidden Spirits... many are relatively new or just a few decades old. Today there are hundreds of different independent bottlers and now several bottle Australian whisky such as Heartwood, Spirit Thief, Dark Valley or more recently the UK's That Boutique-y-Whisky Company. Often the most interesting malts are released by Indies.","products":[{"product_id":"glenlossie-10-year-old-james-eadie-54-3-30ml","title":"Glenlossie 10y\/o James Eadie 54.3%abv 30ml","description":"Single cask Glenlossie aged in a re-charred Hogshead.

Now Whisky in Isolation has become an independent bottler and is not just laying down standard casks but filling their own cask selections and playing around with unusual cask finishes to try out some funky new things. Nearly New York Sour is the first release made from Spirit Thief distillate aged in 3 small French Oak Shiraz casks and then re-racked in a Bourbon cask to add vanilla sweetness and to mellow and round out some of the tannins, spice and slightly rough edges that are often apparent in whisky matured in small red wine casks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription and Tasting notes from the independent bottler:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThought to have been first made in the 1880s by a bartender in Chicago, before being made popular by a rival bartender in Manhattan, the New York Sour is a classic bourbon-based whiskey sour taken up a notch both visually and in flavour by the addition of a float of red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor our first release, we have turned the cocktail on its head.

A lovely medicinal side that’s got strictly nothing to do with Ireland (or only after a rugby match against the French, ha), and some melons. Unusual, but very nice. Mouth (neat): yeah, this is not quite ‘Irish’, unless some ex-peated Connemara wood was used. Peat, mercurochrome, preserved peaches, bananas, brown bread, cinnamon, breading, and some echoes of coal. Finish: long and really very peppery. We’re almost geared towards old young Talisker. Comments: it is all a little mysterious here. Connemara? Or some unpeated Irish that’s been finished in some ex-Laphroaig (respectively Lagavulin, Ardbeg or Caol Ila) wood?
