"Malt Whisky
and Place" Debate: London Gastronomy
Seminar, 30th January 2013
Those of you based in and around London
may be interested to know about this
forthcoming event arranged by The London
Gastronomy Seminars. It is at 6:30pm, on
Wednesday 30th January 2013 (approximate
duration two hours), at Senate House,
University of London.
It will be a discussion, chaired by
eminent wine & drinks writer Andrew
Jefford. Representatives from two of the
leading Islay distilleries,
Bruichladdich and Lagavulin, will each
to present their case as to how and why
their whisky is distinctive.
The whiskies produced on the Hebridean
island of Islay are world renowned. But
what makes these whiskies unique? Are
they manifestations of the physical
attributes of the island – the climate,
the water, the barley, and the peat – or
are they instead the consequence of
centuries of craft and human artifice in
the form of the malting, brewing, and
distilling processes? In a tasting and
debate chaired by the esteemed drinks
writer Andrew Jefford, who will be
joined by representatives from two of
the leading Islay distilleries,
Bruichladdich and Lagavulin, each to
present their case as to how and why
their whisky is distinctive.
The aim will not be to ‘prove’ that
‘terroir exists’ or doesn’t exist for
malt whisky, but to understand where the
differences come from. Speakers will be
Georgie Crawford (Site Operations
Manager, Lagavulin Distillery), Jim
McEwan (Production Director and Head
Distiller, Bruichladdich Distillery),
and Dr Nick Morgan (Head of Whisky
Outreach, Diageo).
