The Ignored. Part 5? I know. It seems as if I must ignore a lot.
Way back at the beginning of this series, in early 2021, I read out a list of distilleries I felt I'd been ignoring and pledged to get through them. Well, it's taken five episodes and two and a half years, but we're getting there.
To be clear, these are not distilleries that fly under-the-radar due to a lack of official releases, nor are they hidden gems that are loved but not shared. They are well-known and very famous releases that somehow don't get a lot or vPub airtime. I'd also suggest they're not high on the list of most other creators and commenters out there.
Regardless, this is my list and my reasons and you may be surprised by this batch.
What if I told you one of them was once my absolute favourite scotch malt distillery? Or what if I told you another soundly beat a Springbank for Dram of the Night at our local Glasgow Whisky Club? These two sit alongside the UK's best selling malt whisky, a fully natural eastern highlander and an expression from one of the most traditional and unique distilleries in Scotland - yet all are, thus far, left in the vPub shadows.
We'll explore what and why this week.
Really hope to welcome you there!
