Theatrical single-malt release event draws Chris Noth, Chris McDonald
Tuesday Dec. 15, in an event titled, “The Malts of Legend,” introduced five new single malts through a theatrical experience complete with surprise (and impromptu) guest appearances by actors Chris Noth and Chris McDonald. The five new single-malt Scotches, which launched in December, are Deveron, Royal Brackla, Craigellachie, Aultmore and Aberfeldy. Attendees were invited to mingle and taste the single malts as they enjoyed the theatrical displays that accompanied each. Posted December 22nd.
Performers put on a theatrical display of Deveron. The company (Highlands) offers “calm from the storm,” the perfect malt for relaxing by the fireside in the depths of winter, the company says. Soft, fruity notes combine with an easy drinking style to make Deveron a favorite with the work force of the distillery after a long day, it adds. (Photo courtesy of BFA NYC LLC)
Craigellachie (Speyside) stays true to its traditions of whisky-making, including the use of worm tubs – so called for their coiled copper tubing – to cool the spirit. Craigellachie is recognized for its remarkable sulphuric, savory, meaty character, the company says. Craigellachie 13-year-old and 23-year-old whiskies retail for $55 and $280, respectively.
