Talisker 30

Auf das heutige Review habe ich mich schon lange gefreut, denn einen 30-Jährigen Malt bekommt man nicht jeden Tag ins Glas. Ich bin gespannt, was die lange… Weiterlesen „Talisker 30“

Tonights Bottles at Whisky Stammtisch Leipzig 😍

Six Feet Under cold, cold Ground - a Cocktail containing Laphroaig Single Malt Whisky, Fernet Branca, Antica Formula and Absinth. Another great creation by Rorschach Bar Bartender Maurice. Highly recommend! *Werbung/Ad*

*Werbung/Ad* Daftmill Winter Release Batch 2 In this malt you can actually taste the time that was spent to make it. Excited for all the things to come from @daftmilldistillery Also check out mrbarleycorn.com for Reviews and Info in German! Nose: Intense and full of buttery cake dough, vanilla, cane sugar, oatmeal and a handful of dry sawdust. There are very subtle overripe bananas. At the same time the nose has something dark of sweetened espresso. Everything fits together perfectly and you really just want to smell and not drink at all. Over time, the malt wins a little more. A slight mineral note, and clear citrus notes come through. Reminds me of lemon tart. The empty the glass, the more flowery and sweeter the nose becomes. Taste: Perfect drinking strength and great hold! Creamy, sweet and spicy - typical of a first-fill exBourbon cask. There's vanilla, of course, and the butter. But on the fruity side, too, the Daftmill has something to offer, although sometimes rather discreet. The citrus aromas are clearly recognizable. In the background I also find yellow apples, yellow kiwi and honeydew melon. There are also some kitchen herbs like rosemary. Finish: medium, cake dough, grapefruit, dry wood and white pepper.

A few samples with a good friend tonight. Great to taste all these old and rare Whiskys! #oldandrare #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #bunnahabhain #springbank #mortlach #cigar #malt #speyside #longmorn #sailingseagull #whiskey #friday #tasting #weekend #nowdrinking #bar #scotchporn #whiskyporn #instadram #dram

Bowmore 15 Review Ad/ Unbezahlte Werbung Nose Soft smoke rises from the glass into my nose, to a slightly alcoholic note, despite the "only" 43% Vol. In addition, I smell ripe fruits towards oranges and wild berries, but also beautiful earthy notes. The whole thing is rounded off by a piece of pocket coffee. Taste On the tongue, the Bowmore shows a nice mix of smoke and honey sweetness. For 43% Vol. Amazingly strong and at the same time well integrated alcohol. The fruit gradually comes through more and goes in the direction of currant jelly. Overall nice and round and just delicious. Finish Medium with dark chocolate, soft smoke and lasting honey sweetness. Perfect value for what you get. I really enjoy this a lot. Glad to have an closed bottle in my bar. Sláinte Mr Barleycorn

(Unbezahlte Werbung / Ad) Lagavulin 12 Special Release 2018 one of the best peated single malts out there for me!

Besides the Lagavulin we were also served an Inchgower 27, Oban 21, Pittyvaich 28, Cladach and Talisker 8. 😊😍🥃🌾

Fresh Tasting Notes - Douglas Laing's Glen Moray 10 Old Particular Nose The alcohol is present immediately and causes a biting stinging in the nose. No wonder the malt has about 67% Vol. Alcohol in it. With a little more space between the glass and the nose, the first thing I notice is dark chocolate, baking cocoa and plum jam. I add 2 teaspoons of water to 2cl of whisky. Now honey is added to the image. I also find raisins, cloves, blackberries, ripe peaches and tobacco in rum (Sounds weird, I know) Taste Undiluted, the alcohol stuns the entire oral cavity. Significantly bitter is the malt on the tongue and then gets a little sweeter. With water this bitterness is preserved and reminds of chocolate with 80% cocoa content. In addition, there are Earl Gray tea with its typical bergamot notes, peach, cane sugar and taiga root (if you do not know it, you should definitely try the lemonade from Wostok!). The water helps the malt immensely. I have also taken a lot of time in the tasting and repeatedly paused. Finish Medium, baking cocoa, herbs, orange peel and massive ginger. Even with plenty of water, the malt is still quite spicy and bitter in the finish. Pheeeew, difficult. There are very nice parts of this malt Whisky. But it seems too young and the cask influence is much overpowering. I'm still sure that this Glen Moray will find its fans.

My personal best of Whisky Weekend Leipzig last Friday and Saturday. Lots of great bottlings around there, very nice people and great talks. See you next year! #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #singlecask #caskstrength #mortlach #tobermory #caolila #auchentoshan #oldpulteney #gordonmacphail #signatoryvintage #wilson&morgan #whiskyfair #whiskyweekend #scotchporn #whiskyporn #slainte #kanpai #cheers #prost #whiskey #bourbon #leipzig

The Science and Commerce of Whisky One of the best books on Whisky I've read so far. What other Whisky-related book can you guys suggest?

Thank God it's Friday! What's in your glasses tonight?

(Werbung/Ad) @remarkable_malts in da house at Trebsen Whisky Fair a few weeks ago. Nico of @feinbrandtaucha brought the full range as well as some limited editions with him to Schloss Trebsen. My personal favourite The Gauldrons 🕷️🕸️ did not make it into the picture but was ready to be enjoyed as well! Which one is your favourite Remarkable Regional Malt?

*Werbung/Ad* Face-off between @theglenallachie_ 10 CS Batch 1 and Batch 2! Have you guys compared them before? What are your thoughts? Here are mine: Batch 1 Nose A sweet mix of honey, clear vanilla and butter biscuits is the first thing I notice. Add to that limes, herbs, freshly toasted bread and a sweet white wine. With a bit of time and two or three drops of water, the malt opens and looks fuller and sweeter, producing roasted almonds and an unripe peach. The high alcohol content is very well integrated and almost unnoticeable in the nose. Taste On the tongue, the Batch 1 pushes forward with its 57.1% Vol., But is also very sweet and dominated by the vanilla. An intense but not burning tingle on the tongue sets in. In addition, the malt is very oily and brings with it a lot of wood influence. There are also pears and dark chocolate. With water then some roasted aromas that I perceive. Again, the malt benefits from the water and becomes sweeter and fuller. Finish Medium length and nicely warming with wood, baking cocoa and honey. Batch 2 Nose Oh, that's interesting. The nose is very different from Batch 1 and brings a note that I can not define right away. Something musty, like wet wood or even a wet rope. Again there is a sweet hint of vanilla and honey with herbs. I also find red apple, toffee, sugared grapefruit, banana. For a while I think of a piece of hand soap. With water, the Batch 2 opens and becomes chocolatier and darker overall. Taste Sweet, oily, malty. There are chocolate covered raisins, honey, a piece of apple and almond cake, rosemary, lots of wood, a little mint and slightly bitter pear peel. Finish Medium with honey, ginger and clear wood. Conclusion: It is very interesting to identify such differences in two batches of the same Whisky. But it is actually no wonder since the casks selection is slightly different for each Batch. In my opinion Batch two has a little more character and therefore is more appealing to me. I'd like to thank @kirsch_whisky for the complimentary Sample of GlenAllachie 10 CS Batch 2 as well as my friend Oliver for Batch 1. Sláinte!
