Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Finish

Ich mag in Rotweinfässern nachgereiften Whisky sehr gern. Daher hat mich die heutige Verkostung des Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Finish sehr gefreut. Doch lest selbst.

Tonight me and my fellow whisky enthusiasts from Leipzig did a Port Tasting to decide which port wine we are going to use for our cask project. For this experiment we got our hands on 30 litres of some western Highland new make. More Info will follow soon. So stay tuned on mrbarleycorn.com!

It took me a while but here is a new review of a great Whisky: @benromach 15 #linkinbio Speyside | Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Matured 9 years in exBourbon casks and 6 more years in exSherry casks | 43% Abv. | Natural Color Nose: Very rich and complex. Light and dark fruit at the Same time. Berries, Oranges, Kiwi, Peach. All accompanied by soft peat smoke, spices and Vanilla. There ist cocoa, walnuts and a peppermintlike freshness as well. In a blindtasting I would have voted for a much older Whisky due to its richness and complexity. Palate: Very pleasant creamyness with dry and spicy Sherry notes at the same time. Very interesting. The Bourbon cask left some light dried fruits, frudge and vanilla in this 15 year old. After a while I identify plums, pepper, honey and some oak. Everything as a whole fits just perfectly. Finish: Medium to long. Still creamy, sweet, some honey and dark chocolate, gentle smoke and beautiful lingering Sherry notes. I am a fan of Benromach. Therefore, it is no wonder I find this particular expression quite amazing. If you have the Chance to taste it, don't loose any time to do so! Slàinte, Mr Barleycorn

Here is another gem out of @zeit_zeuge 's collection we had two nights ago. 40% Abv. cask strength and 40 years old is this Glenlivet from 1970 🥃🌾😯 Have a great weekend everyone! Sláinte 😊

Next one up is this Linkwood 1972 by @gordonandmacphail 👌🥃🌾 Thank you @zeit_zeuge for the great evening and outstanding drams 😊🙏

Yeah, Mr Barleycorn just hit 1k followers 😊😊😊 Thank you so much everyone! I am excited for everything to come and great nerd talks with you #instadrammers 🌾🥃😉😊

New Blogpost on mrbarleycorn.com - this time I reviewed this NAS Bunna' called Eirigh na Greine. Here is my short review for you #instadrammers Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | NAS | Matured in French Redwine Casks | 46.3% Abv. | Natural Color | non-Chillfiltered | Batch No. 05 | Nose: Starts fruity-fresh with hints of berries, sea Air, gentle smoke and old lemons. There is vanilla and typical redwine notes as well. Palate: Sweetness and again red fruit, vanilla and lemons. After a while I identify a slight spicyness. The redwine notes are now more present on the palate. It seems to bei quite young concerning its freshness. Finish: I was a little disappointed by its finish since it is rather short to medium with some honey, oak and cocoa. A good Whisky for sure but in my opinion a little overpriced. I had it before and I was positively suprised at the time. This time I was kind of disappointed. Maybe the batches vary in taste and nose.

Check this amazing Glenfarclas Premium Edition 1996/2017 matured in Oloroso Sherry Casks. Enjoy your weekend everyone! What's in your glas tonight?

Michel Couvreur #Overaged 53% 😍😍😍 A true sherry bomb aged in some of the oldest Sherry casks available. Matured in an traditional cellar in france, this is an exceptional single malt Whisky! Have you had a Couvreur Whisky before?

#peatandport - I recently could compare these two NAS expressions of @talisker and @glenglassaugh - spicy island peat vs. floral highland peat. The Talisker Port Ruighe has a great nose and a typical island roughness. The Glenglassaugh Peated Portwood is very intersting because it is peaty but not really smoky. There are some more #peatandport expressions out there (Ardmore 12 Portwood, Glendronach Peated Portwood, Laphroaig Brodir etc.) Which one is your favourite #peatandport Whisky?

Japan tonight! This 12 year old Beauty of Hibiki is absolutely amazing. What is your favourite Japanese Whisky my dear #instadrammers ?

New Blogpost on mrbarleycorn.com! Today I reviewed a classic Island Scotch Whisky - Tobermory 10 🌾🥃 Here are my notes for all of you #instadrammers Isle of Mull | Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Tobermory Distillery | Aged for ten years in exBourbon Casks | 46.3% Abv. | NCF | No artificial coloring | Nose: Apples, wet lawn, Beach, Vanilla and freshly ground Pepper. There are some unripe pears and a nice kind of mugginess. The 46.3% Abv. are perfectly integrated in the aroma. Palate: That first sparkle on the tongue is fun! Then there is Vanilla and light fruit such as apples, pears and limes. There is delicate fudge and candied ginger as well. The single components just go so well together supported by an oily texture in combination with that perfect Abv. Finish: Medium to Long. Malty, hints of nuts and slightly bitter in the end. Perfect choice for less than 40€! Nuff Said.

Just stopped by at @stefangourmetageleipzig to say Hi and this awesome guy offered me a dram of this insanely beautiful #Tobermory 18 🥃🌾😍 Perfect break from stressful last minute saturday Shopping. If you are in #Leipzig make sure check the awesome selection of whisky and all kinds of other fine #spirits, #wine and #food at #Gourmetage! @tobermorywhisky

#nofilter #icetea "The Islay Trail" Bruichladdich 2002/2015 Sherry Hogshead 🥃 Have you ever seen a Whisky this cloudy? ☁️☁️☁️ Enjoy your Weekend everyone - Sláinte!

Received a Sample of this young Miltonduff a couple of weeks ago. Gave it a try and was not disappointed at all. @the_barreliers as independent bottlers are quite young as well. This Miltonduff is their sophomore release after a 6yo Ardmore. Here is my quick review for all of you #instadrammers 🌾🥃 Single Barrel Scotch Whisky | Aged for 6 years in a 1st fill Bourbon Barrel | NCF | No artificial coloring | 62.1 % Abv. Cask Strength | Nose: It hits the nose with quite some Power. After getting used to the Cask strength, I identify some honey, lots of vanilla, fudge, mandarines and peaches. Adding water releases some green apples. Palate: Honey, Vanilla and Fudge followed by an neverending sparkle on the tongue. No burning at all even at 62.1% Abv. Again, there are mandarines and Apples. Water is supporting its fruitiness. Finish: Medium, Malty, Minerals and Mandarines (nice alliteration) An honstest almost oldschool malt that hides nothing! Very well done. A little more time in the cask could make this one even better. Thanks to @the_barreliers for the complimentary Sample!
