Humble Beginnings...

Like more than a few good things in life, my whisky passion started with a dram, a dram of whisky on my wedding day. It was nothing fancy mind, just an aptly named “Founders Reserve”.  From there I dived deep into the whisky ocean, and went - like a lot of you I imagine - on a wonderful journey of discovery.  A journey not just of taste, places, and special moments in time...but of whisky people and their stories.

​

Whisky is a wonderful medicine. When treated with respect, it brings people together, and encourages community, sharing and enjoyment.  Whisky stimulates creativity and its appreciation. It can open up the heart and stir the soul. 


From just the three simple ingredients of barley, water, and yeast, and then through a romantic industrial - or even alchemical process - beautiful spirit emerges to be filled into casks, and rests there for time and wood to work their magic.  Later, sometimes much later, design & bottling occurs. Only then comes the special moment for us all to taste and discover this water of life.  

​

East Coast Whisky represents the continuation of this journey, into sharing with you what whisky is out there, the experiences and stories it brings, and the people it meets along its way.

​

There will be blogging, tastings, whisky meals, festivals, cask bottling, and more as we journey to maturation.

​

Our focus is coastal and local, as myself and the team are based in East Lothian and Edinburgh, Scotland. Yet we are open to all who form this global whisk(e)y community, near and far.

​

So welcome, pour yourself a #dramo'the day and enjoy!!!

Old & Rarer 3 : "Lost & Found" - 17/07/20

Updated: Jul 7, 2020


I am excited to bring you Friday July 17th's Old & Rarer 3 online tasting, as this time it is dedicated to Lost distilleries, alongside a Found 44yr old blend (inc. Glenfarclas) and a 1973 Bruichladdich - all in all quite a lot to get your teeth stuck into.


On this occasion, you have a choice of the 2013 Special Release Brora above, or the 1977 Rare Malts Brora below, there are currently under 10 drams left of each.


The rest of the line-up comprises:


Cadenhead's 44yr old Vatted Malt (including Glenfarclas)

Caperdonich 30yr old 1988 Càrn Mòr

Linlithgow/St. Magdalene 26yr old 1974 Old Malt Cask/Douglas Laing

Glenugie 32yr old 1977 Signatory Vintage

Lochside 19yr old 1981 Murray McDavid

Glenury 21yr old 1980 Old Malt Cask/Douglas Laing

Bruichladdich 30yr old 1973



So as you've astutely figured out there are already only 3 spaces left for this tasting, and the choice of Brora's are on a first come first serve basis. (2 2013 SRs & 1 1977 RM)


In order to join its £140 inc. p&p to PayPal.me/ecwhisky Please then email dram@eastcoastwhisky.com with your Brora selection and mailing address.


I will then mail out the drams to you a week or so before, and send you a zoom link with tasting notes the week of the tasting.


These events have been very well received, and I've already been putting together No.4 for August, as well as planning another "Lost & Found" for later in the year.


Please follow @eastcoastwhisky on Instagram for regular updates.


Cheers, and see you soon!!


Frederick
