Despite the fact that barley is one of the 3 ingredients needed to make whisky, it’s regarded as a generic commodity and simply as a source of starches that need to be converted into sugars, to fuel the hunger of yeast during fermentation.
We think barley has significantly more to offer to crafting world class whisky. CLICK HERE to read all about it.
How do a mob of whisky lovers actually go about the challenge of building a whisky distillery? It’s obviously not as simple as putting together some furniture from IKEA, or for the really brave, a garden shed. Distilleries are complex feats of engineering, layered over architecture and construction. It’s not the same as inviting a […]

Distilleries are complex feats of engineering, layered over architecture and construction. It’s not the same as inviting a few friends around to help to hang some wallpaper and do some painting.

When you think world class whisky – why not China? We certainly didn’t – at least not at first. Back in 2016, a group of us were at a monthly whisky social in Shenzhen, and as we got deeper into our cups the conversation kept on circling back to the question of why. We explored this […]

Read MoreAs Nine Rivers Distillery’s plans begin their move from paper to implementation, one exciting milestone took form in The Founders’ Casks announcement, the distillery’s very first limited-edition release.
Since the inspiration for the casks originated from the location of the barrels used, the six expressions of The Founders’ Casks will be named as follows: Madeira, Baixo Corgo, Kentucky, Jerez, Virginia, and Cima Corgo. Juxtaposed with the location on the bottle, the names of all investors will be proudly written on each of the six expressions’ packaging, a solidly constructed case in the elegant Nine Rivers colours: dark blue and gold.
The founders and investors were given an informal announcement on July 26th declaring that Expression One of the Founders’ Casks would be ready for reservation the following week. As expected, the founders and investors reserved more than half of the available bottles, leaving the remainder to be sold through some of our whisky groups.
Each of the six expressions is a coalescence of passion and expertise blended with an enthusiasm to put China on the map of whisky production, a sentiment felt by both the Nine Rivers Founders and all whisky enthusiasts in China.
The excitement is palpable. Bespoke glass, pristine boxing, and the investors’ names inscribed on the packaging display the level of commitment Nine Rivers dedicates to not only quality but also an elevated personal touch. All of us, this writer included, eagerly await shipping day.
There might be some left to reserve – you can find out by clicking ON THIS LINK.
