TGR – A triple matured scotch
Age in scotches doesn’t matter anymore
There was a time
when people preferred scotch with longer age, reason being the aging scotch
shows better maturity, taste and aroma. I have always heard people talking
about the age of the scotches and how strong it tastes as it grows in age. This
has been the perception of the people from a long long time and they are right
to every extent.
But there is
something that will definitely change this perception of age in scotches. Why
do you need to wait for the scotch to age and taste better, when you can have
something which is better matured, very strong in taste and aroma and it is
very young?
Trust me when I
say, age in scotches will not matter anymore. Black Dog’s Triple Gold Reserve
(TGR) is the only
blended Scotch that is produced involving a triple maturation process.
If you are a Black Dog fan, you would be aware that it labels its
scotches with the number of maturation years that the scotch goes through but
TGR has no specific year mentioned. Wonder why? There is a difference between a
normal scotch maturation process and TGR’s Triple Maturation Process.
I believe that the pictures speak louder than words. So would like to
explain the difference between a normal scotch maturation process and TGR’s
Triple Maturation Process with the help of two images posted below:
Image 1:
Image 1: Shows normal maturation process. "Matured
Single malt" and "Matured Grain whisky" are combined and
bottled. There is no “THIRD” maturation process carried out on the mixture. It
is bottled and sent to the stores for final consumption.
Image 2:
Image 2: Shows
triple maturation process. "Matured Single Malt" and "Matured
Grain Whisky" is blended together and is introduced to another level of
maturation. The third time maturation and blending is carried inside a sherry
cask. This is the reason why it is called ‘Tripe Gold Reserve’.
