Teeling Single Malt Whiskey

Nachdem ich bisher ausschließlich Single Malts aus Schottland verkostet habe, kommen wir heute mal zu einem Iren – der Teeling Single Malt Whiskey.

It's been a while since the Ardbeg Peat&Love Bus Tour stopped here in Leipzig and as promised I also wrote down my thoughts on the 2018 Committee Realse Ardbeg Grooves. #linkinbio Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 51.6 % Abv. | Aged in exBourbon and French Wine Casks | Natural Color | non-Chillfiltered | Nose: Yes, it is an Ardbeg 😉 Cold and Dry peat smoke accompanied by a touch of sweet oranges. The influence of the wine can be clearly identified and with time becomes more and more intense. It is really fun to nose this one. As the Ardbeg Grooves gets sweeter it reminds me of that typical sweet bubblegum flavor of my childhood. There is orange juice, spices and a wood of pines as well. Beautiful in the nose. Palate: Again the peat smoke of course is very prominent. But with each second on the tongue it gets sweeter and a nice sparkle adds to the sweetness. Brown sugar, red grapes, grilled and saltet lemons and yes BBQ-Sauce as well. The 51.6% Abv. are perfectly integrated. Therefore I had no need to water down that malt. Finish: Oily, smoky and medium long with notes of dark chocolate, spices and some undefined herbs. The wine influence makes it adstringend towards the end. Well, this is again an Ardbeg that knows how to impress me. I Love the combination of red wine and islay peat smokyness. It is nice to smell how the Whisky changes with time after being poured into the glas. I was sitting there for almost 30 mins nosing it before I took the first sip. Sláinte, Mr Barleycorn I'd like to thank @stefangourmetageleipzig for the complimentary sample.

No Whisky today but the best Negroni in town at Rorschach Bar Leipzig!

Glencadam 15 yo! New Blogpost on mrbarleycorn.com (German) For all of you English speaking #instadrammers here are my short notes: Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Matured for 15 years in exBourbon casks | 46% Abv. | NCF | Natural color | Nose: Fruity, fresh and slightly maritime notes in the beginning remind me of some northern Highland Malts. There is an intense sweetness of cereals and light fruits accompanied by citric notes. Some apples and pears in combination with fudge come through after a while. After the first sip the malt shows its savoury side. Palate: Creamy, intense sweetness, still crisp in the tongue. A pleasant sparkle evolves more and more. Fantastic mouth feel. There is fudge, again cereals combined with lemons and ripe apples. Finish: Medium finish. Still sweet and malty. Towards the end there are some woody spices. A kind of unknown malt to many people - in my opinion wrongfully. This is a no-nonsense malt that is on point! Have you Guys tried any of the releases from @glencadamwhisky ? Sláinte! #linkinbio👉💻

Old Pulteney Single Sherry Cask 2004/2018 for tonight. This is a real high quality dram of only 14 years. Intense Sherry notes, butterscotch, lemons and a pleasant spicyness. What is your Dram for tonight my dear #instadrammers ? #thewhiskyexchange #oldpulteney #singlecaskwhisky

Heute habe ich durch Zufall die kleine Hofbrennerei Burg im Spreewald entdeckt. Da habe ich es mir nicht nehmen lassen, den Brennraum und das Fasslager einmal zu besichtigen und die fassstarke Abfüllung der Brennerei zu probieren. Der Single Malt Whisky (4 Jahre, 52,1% Vol, gereift in kleinen Fässern aus amerikanischer Weißeiche) war auch erstaunlich lecker. Tolle helle Fruchtnoten (Trockenobst, Aprikosen, Pfirsich, Ananas) und einen ordentlichen Schwall Vanille und Karamell konnte ich finden, außerdem eine intensive Süße. Nicht sonderlich komplex, aber durchaus als Whisky zu erkennen und absolut genießbar. Toll, was auch in Deutschland hergestellt wird 😊🥃🌾 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Found this little gem of a distillery during a cycling tour today in Burg (Spreewald). Only a few casks sit in the Warehouse. The Single Malt Whisky produced there was quite delicious! Light dried fruit whith vanilla and butterscotch were the main flavours I could find. Not very complex but definitely a single malt whisky ans very enjoyable.

Glengoyne 18 | Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky @whiskyandkilt What a great Whisky that is! What is your Dram for tonight?

Here is my Review of the Springbank 12 Cask Strength Batch 15 What's in your glasses this Weekend? Campbeltown | Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 12 years old | Matured in exSherry casks (70%) and exBourbon casks (30%) | 56.5% Abv. | non-Chillfiltered | natural color According to the data this has to be a great malt! Let's see... Nose: There are light fruits like aprocots, apples and green grapes hitting the nose at first. At the same time a pleasant sweetness emerges supported by Maritime notes. This makes the nose full bodied. There is peat smoke as well adding complexity but not overpowering the other aromas. After a while and some Air contact the first impression changes towards more earthy notes, walnuts and the smell of poplar trees. Never smelled that in a scotch before 😅 But the nose is just great! Palate: Very oily texture on the tongue and a powerful start as well. The nose is represented quite well in the beginning with that nice fruitiness. Again there are apples, apricots and peat smoke. Once you got used to the high Abv. the malt develops and you'll find shortbread, ginger and peppery notes. There is a nice maltyness and again those slightly bitter walnuts. Finish: Long and warming. Oily with butterscotch, honey and a long lasting sizzle on the tongue. Slightly dry and bitter towards the end. This is again kind of a Prototype Scotch to me. It is great how that malt develops in the glas, the nose and finally in the mouth. It is definitely one of the very best 12 yo Single Malts Out there! Sláinte! #linkinbio #springer

Just got these two beauties via mail from Berlin City! A big thanks to my pal @whiskyshortcut 😊 I am more than excited to try them 🥃🌾🤩🙏 Benromach Single Cask for Finest Whisky & Highland Park 15 1992/2008 bottled by Murray McDavid

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 😊
