Instadram

Just cracked open this 18yo PX-Sherry-Cask Tobermory Malt bottled by Wilson & Morgan in 2013. It has a very unusual profile for Tobermory but I do like it a lot. PX Sherry brings a lot of sweetness on the palate. The nose is rather meaty and has notes of wet wood and over ripe red fruit. There is a lot to discover here. Great that this malt was bottled at cask strength. #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #island #highland #tobermory #wilsonandmorgan #scotchporn #whiskyporn #instadram #instawhisky #scotchgram #whiskygram #whiskywednesday #dram #drinks #bartender #luxury #lifestyle #leipzig

Werbung/Ad New Review for Teaninich 6yo by @the_barreliers It is my first Teaninich ever I think. What about you guys, any experiences yet? Nose: The nose is still very much shaped by the raw brandy. Light fruit in the direction of green apple, unripe pear and a little fresh lemon zest, accompanied by grain and wet metal. Over time, the fruit fades into the background and delicate vanilla comes through. The alcohol can hardly be felt in the nose, which really surprises me at 61.2% vol. With hand warmth the nose becomes fuller and more intense, and now I discover what has been flickering in front of me all the time, but didn't want to get out: star fruit. Water is good for the nose and reinforces the aromas, especially the pear. Palate: The 61.5% do not hide, but are also not unpleasant. Nevertheless, I dilute my 2cl with a teaspoon of water. Young, fresh, fruity. Again a lot of pear, some citrus and vanilla. A light peppery, mineral notes and some star fruit. Almost 1 to 1 like in the nose. Finish: medium. The alcohol is still present, along with some lemon zest and white pepper. Conclusion: A young savage who comes along fresh and fruity. The alcohol is still quite strong, but that does not detract from the enjoyment. I really like the mineral notes. That is definitely not a drawback for me. Another nice selection at a reasonable price.

Early Easter for all members of fassstark.de - Secret Speyside 1993/2020 by Mancarella Whisky My first impression... Nose: A little closed at first, but with time and hand warmth the nose opens. Indeed, this is not a sherry bomb. First I think of dark chocolate, of these "refreshment sticks" with a liquid orange filling, also cane sugar, some wax, definitely also tobacco, a hint of leather also resonates - but everything with finesse. Over time, the fruit aromas become stronger and push to the fore. The orange drifts towards grapefruit and a little plum and nut are added. I also think of sourdough bread. There's a lot to discover. Herbs are added to the nose in an empty glass. Most likely lovage and some spearmint. Palate: Wow. On the tongue immensely full and oily, powerful and a little darker than the nose would expect. The alcohol tingles pleasantly and a wonderful sweetness spreads in the mouth. Not sticky, but just so sweet that you want to take the next sip right away. Here again plum, orange, grapefruit and now something mega funny: Lavender butter - but delicious! The second sip confirms the first impression, this sweetness is very elegant, now with a bit of tart chocolate in the mouth, roasted hazelnut and leather. Finish: Medium and wonderfully warm. Unfortunately, there is not much aroma in the finish. Some cane sugar, nutmeg, grapefruit and a pleasant "dustiness". Conclusion: The nose and palate are constantly in motion and want to be explored. The malt rewards you if you take your time. If I had to type I would say I had a Benrinnes in the glass. But I really care. Tastes great, is fun to discover and for me a great addition to the previous forum fillings.

Very Old Pulteney. Great 80ies Sherry Cask bottling by Gordon & MacPhail Have a great night everyone and #stayhome! #Highland #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #pulteney #oldpulteney #wick #gordonmacphail #oldandrare #scotchporn #instadram #whiskygram #whiskey #mrbarleycorn #leipzig

New Review: Caol Ila 2010/2020 Single Cask Seasons Winter 2018 by @kirsch_whisky Nose: Caol Ila-typical, fresh smoke, accomoanied by citrus notes, immediately hits the nose. A deep sweetness spreads behind the smoke. There are also red gooseberries, cherry candies, tart chocolate and a certain spiciness that makes you think of stewed dishes. The alcohol is hardly noticeable, but contributes to the freshness in the nose. Taste: Powerful start that I didn't expect. Caol Ila shows his youth there. Nevertheless, it does not appear to be sprightly. The power matches the intense peat smoke on the tongue. This also shows the class of the barrel, because the whole thing is rather tart, chocolatey and not on the sweet side. I find burnt toast, again the cherry candies, orange notes, wet stone and black pepper. Everything is surrounded by a note of Maggi Umami. Really great! Finish: medium to long. Dark chocolate, orange peel and persistent peat smoke. Conclusion: very nice barrel selection by Kirsch Whisky! This Caol Ila is pure fun and fortunately is not overwhelmed with sugar-sweet PX. The malt still has enough power to successfully prevail against the (I would say) Oloroso barrel. Nevertheless, this barrel also leaves great spicy and slightly fruity notes. A wonderful interplay.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Have a dram and stay home! #singlepotstill #irishwhiskey #redspot #spotwhiskey #guinness #stpatricksday #whisky #whiskey #stayhome #slainte #cheers #dram #dramgood #whiskyporn #singlemalt #leipzig #mrbarleycorn

A couple of weeks ago I stayed at @reichshofhamburg and went to @bar_1910 . After a few great #Mezcal coctails the man behind the bar made me this incredible Talisker Storm Espresso Martini. The aromas fit incredibly well!

Had some #dramgood Whisky at Whisky Weekend Leipzig today! Lots of modern as well as old and rare Whisky! #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #dacapo #leipzig #WhiskyWeekend #tasting #scotchporn #instadram #dram #whiskey #bowmore #wemyss #passionwhisky #oldandrare #mrbarleycorn

Support your local Dealer... and he will support you. Got a bottle of @daftmilldistillery 2008 Summer Batch Release for Europe from my Local Dealer Whisky Center Jena. This bottling was like stardust around here. I just opened the UK release and it tastes amazing. Great job done by Ian and Francis at Daftmill Distillery!

*Werbung/Ad* Check out last week's review of these two on mrbarleycorn.com! The kind people at @whic.de send me a sample of their Cameronbridge 25 and Glen Moray 11. I could almost not believe it but the 11yo Glen Moray was the better Dram for me. Still, that Cameronbridge is a perfect Whisky for those cold winter days imho. They should still be available at @whic.de so check out these two and their other great bottlings.

Broadbay 8 by Darkness! One of my favs this year. Nose Dark Sherry tones in all facets flow out of the glass. The smoke is clearly noticeable, but is perfectly integrated into the intense sherry notes. There is old leather, beef jerky, gravy, dates, raisins, caramelized oranges, chocolate, musty cellar, stove, campfire, gauze bandages, hospital, spruce resin, woodshed, honey. Taste Intense and powerful, the malt pushes forward on the tongue. Intensive sweetness glazed the tongue right at the beginning. In combination with the ashy-medical peat smoke, even this intense sweetness is not too much for me. Ripe and tart aromas are also prominent on the tongue. Typical Sherry flavors like the already mentioned raisins and dates are there, but also spices like allspice, cloves and also Teriyaki sauce. I've never had leather in my mouth, but that's how I imagine the taste on my tongue. Furthermore, the spices are present, with the time supplemented by a pinch of cinnamon and garden herbs. Despite 61.3 absolutely good to drink. Finish Dark, dry and long. Dark chocolate, sweetened espresso, honey, herbs, orange peel and smoke, smoke and again smoke.
