SMBHmag Revisited - Issue #2

David Blackmore’s work ‘Detox’ featured in Issue #2 of SMBH - ‘Other Worlds’ back in 2009. 

‘Detox (2003-05) explores the deliberate use of coloured light as a form of control within society. These empty public urban spaces are illuminated by blue light, giving them an eerie, otherworldly quality. The blue light is used to deter intravenous drug use, under these lighting conditions, it is difficult to locate veins.

This containment of blue light also evokes the user’s sense of desire for another more tolerable state of being and in a wider sense the concept of alternative psychological states in contemporary society.’

More recently, Blackmore has produced a wide range of fascinating projects such as ‘The Archive of my luck, so far’ 

‘During 2012 I set myself the task of collecting one hundred lucky pennies and keeping notes about the circumstances each was found. I enlarged the coins, monumentalising them and preserving them for ever. Displaying the side of the coin that was visible when I found it.’

WHISKYCAST EPISODE 483: JUNE 13, 2014

David Blackmore spends most of his year on the road as the brand ambassador for Glenmorangie and Ardbeg, and was in Taipei for Ardbeg Day 2014 in what he describes as one of his most interesting road trips yet. He'll share stories from the road with us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth during a brief break from his travels.

In the news, we have word on new whiskies from Maker's Mark, Crown Royal, GlenDronach, and Kilchoman. Diageo wins a legal battle with Tennessee regulators, and a sad story from Oklahoma is proof that craft distilling isn't without its risks. This week's tasting notes have a Hollywood feel, as we'll look at a couple of whiskies with famous names...if not whisky pedigrees.

Tasting New Glenmorangie Artein with Brand Ambassador David Blackmore

Master Brand Ambassador of Glenmorangie, David Blackmore, made a couple stops in St. Louis this past week to introduce one of their newest creations, Artein. One of those stops was at the Wine and Cheese Place where he introduced the third in a Private Edition range of bottlings which has included Finealta and Sonnalta PX in the past. All of these creations have a limited release. Also included in this tasting were Glenmorangie 10 Original, Lasanta (additional sherry wood aging), Quinta Ruban (additional port wood aging), Nectar d’Or (additional Sauterne wood aging), Astar, Glenmorangie 18 and Signet.

Artein is bottled at 46% non-chill filtered and is Glenmorangie Original, aged first in ex-bourbon barrels and aged additionally in Sassicaia, Tuscan wine casks, some for 4 years and some for 7. The Sassicaia wines are also known as the ‘super tuscans,’ which is the term Glenmorangie uses in its literature on this release.

There is no age statement on this bottling but the make-up of this single malt is two-thirds15-year old and one-third 21-year old. Technically this would be a 15-year old.

Sassicia is a region of Tuscany where the soil is very rocky with limestone. ‘Artein,’ is Scots Gaelic for stone.  The grape vines there are forced to take root deep into the soil for nourishment and as a result the grapes ripen with the intense flavor of this unique terrain. As you can imagine it has a very rich, full flavor. This is Whisky Creator, Dr. Bill Lumsden’s latest pioneering approach to additional aging for Glenmorangie.
