Virtual Whisky Tasting Bottled By: Douglas Laing X9 1.5cl
Time for our next fantastic Whisky-Online Tasting - Join us on Zoom on Friday 29th September with our guest host Hugh Barron from James Eadie Ltd for another of our fantastic Whisky-Online Virtual Whisky Tastings!
The original James Eadie was a Scottish brewer who built up a large chain of pubs in the North of England and later became a whisky blender, registering his James Eadie X blended Scotch as a trademark in 1877. The present James Eadie Ltd was founded as an independent bottler in 2016 by Rupert Patrick, the great-great-grandson of James Eadie, and relaunched the James Eadie Trade Mark X blended whisky in 2017 using malts mentioned in Eadie's original cellar books.
Currently Sales Manager for the UK and various export markets, Hugh Baroon has been with James Eadie for over 6 years after getting his start in the drinks trade working at The Whisky Shop while still an undergraduate. On the night, Hugh will be taking us through an excellent selection of drams including a mix of highlights from recent releases alongside a handful of the latest whiskies in the company's Autumn 2023 outturn.

Hugh joined James Eadie six years ago after getting his start in the whisky industry working at The Whisky Shop while still an undergraduate. Today, Hugh is the Sales Manager for James Eadie, building the brand in the UK and various export markets, and is part of the team choosing which whiskies to bottle, alongside Operations Director Leon Kuebler and CEO Rupert Patrick (James Eadie’s great-great-grandson). We look forward to hearing Hugh’s insights on James Eadie’s history.
This tasting evening was brilliant, even though I missed a bit due to technical gremlins at my end. Excellent range of whiskies spanning the James Eadie range, from a blended whisky to cask strength single cask expressions, with a couple from the small batch range in between. Lots of good interaction between the participants, notably Harrison, and Hugh Barron from JE made this an incredible opportunity to learn even more about Scotch single malt whisky. Thanks Whisky Online, these tastings are excellent value!

A fantastic line up of drams from Alistair's range, all presented at full cask strength. Alistair gave a very informative narrative of the independent bottling industry, with many anecdotes and experiences shared. The whiskies selected were all top class, and as always the hosting by Whisky Online was brilliant. Looking forward to the next tasting events guys.
Great quality dram with big , but not overpowering, sherry influence. The extra strength helps deliver a superior mouth feel and length. If you're looking for a standout Speyside then start here
This really is atypical for my liking.
I usually love peaty full bodied whiskies.
This one is a departure, it is full bodied, but in a very different way. Not a hint of smoke, this spirit is very smooth, and the bourbon cask maturing has provided hints of vanilla and honey.
It's extremely well rounded and is a pleasure to drink diluted. Long lasting taste too. Really lovely!!!
