Whisky is a passion to explore. From the history of the spirit to the evolution of the industry, the story of whisky helps fuel that passion. Often, it’s easy to forget that whisky is also a global multibillion dollar industry. The stories of whisky — from news and new releases to in-depth inquires and what goes on behind the label — blend together to help us appreciate the spirit of whisky.
Mogwai Becomes Latest Band With Its Own Whisky
January 27, 2014 – In the peak of the Rock ‘n Roll era, musicians just drank whisky. Now, they have their own whiskies.
Mogwai, the Glasgow-based indie band, has just released its own whisky to go along with its new album, Rave Tapes. The band’s namesake whisky is a 9-year-old cask of Glenallachie single malt produced in conjunction with David Stirk’s Creative Whisky Company. The whisky is bottled at 57.1% ABV, and will be on sale exclusively through the Good Spirits Company in Glasgow. It’s quite likely that a few bottles will travel with the band as their European and North American tour gets underway this week.
The question is…can Mogwai become the first band to win a Grammy and a Malt Maniacs Award?
