Also this week, I had a great night at Gourmétage Leipzig with @ardbeg Brand Ambassador @herr.lutz 🥃 It was a super entertaining tasting with great drams beginning with Ardbeg Ten to Uigeadail over to Ardbeg Day Releases such as Ardbeg Grooves and Dark Cove 😍😍😍 All accompanied by some great food from Gourmétage, made that night close to perfect! I'd like to thank my buddy @stefangourmetageleipzig for the kind invitation! *Werbung aufgrund von Markennennung/Markierung* #ardbeg #islay #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #gourmétage #tasting #nosing #leipzig #whiskytasting #scotchporn #whiskyporn #instawhisky #instadram #instascotch #dram #whiskylover #whiskey #wine #bourbon #spirits #cheers #slainte #kanpai #prost

My pal @wiljalba released his album Lost Valley last year. At the end of 2018 he also released an ancompanying Whisky 😍 No wonder since he is part of @whiskyvinyl 📀 What a great way to combine two passions of Whisky and music! Right before Christmas he sent me a 'lil present containing Lost Valley and a sample of the Whisky which is an six-year-old Bunnahabhain Moine matured in an exBourbon cask. It was bottled without chill-filtration and natural Color. *Werbung aufgrund von Markennennung*Gratis Sample, selbst genossen* Check out my tasting notes below: Nose The Bunna does not hide its origin and begins with intense peat smoke in the nose. Add to that ashes, citrus notes, intense maltiness, pastries, vanilla and a maritime freshness. The barrel still leaves a lot of room for the distillery character. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated and does not feel right after just over 60% Vol. It is a bit mineral and with a little time in the glass comes a hint of pineapple. Taste Also on the tongue, the Bunna is immediately present and pushes ahead with full force. There is intense peat smoke as well as intense sweetness and ginger. I discover some shortbread, honey and vanilla. Plus there are those mineral and fresh notes that I like very much with young Islay Malts. On the tongue, the malt is really viscous and can easily handle a few drops of water. With water he becomes a little tamer and more pleasing. Finish Medium with honey, intense peat smoke and ginger. An untamed Islay Malt for those nights with Friends and good music! This malt is not too complex and still quite but it is certainly one to very much enjoy. A big thanks to @wiljalba again for the Album full of great music and that lil' bottle full of good Whisky 🥃🙂 Sláinte Mr Barleycorn

Check out my latest post in mrbarleycorn.com - Oban 14 yo. Have you ever visited the western Highland Distillery? Enjoy your Weekend everyone! *Werbung aufgrund von Markennennung*

Happy New Year everyone. First Review of 2k19 is one of Diageo's Classic Malts - Oban 14 yo. *Werbung aufgrund von Markennennung und Verlinkung (Flasche selbst gekauft und genossen)* Nose Light dried fruits like apricots, a hint of citrus and light grapes. The second smell introduces spicy and ripe notes. There are aromas of honey, wood, hot caramel and minimal smoke. Everything together is accompanied by a pleasant sea breeze. The malt is very round and settled on my nose. The alcohol is almost imperceptible. I would have guessed only from the smell of an 18+ Malt. I love it! Taste Rather thin. Honey, wood, light fruit, lemon zest, some pepper and a hint of smoke. Overall, rather dry. Finish Short to medium with grapefruit peel, oak, honey and pepper. On the nose this is an awesome dram. Complex and well balanced it is. But on the pallate it cannot keep Up with that impression. Still a nice malt with just a hint of smoke. Sláinte Mr Barleycorn

2018 has been a wonderful Whisky year for me! I met a lot of interesting people, enjoyed quite a few young and old malts and filled my very own cask of Whisky with my friends from Leipzig. I visited some fairs earlier this year, I was part of @whiskyjason 's live stream in February and released a Podcast in November of 2018. Mr Barleycorn has been constantly growing and received recognition from all over the world, which makes me proud and thankful! I hope this amazing journey will continue in 2019. I'd like to say thank you to all of you people who are just as crazy for the water of life as I am! I also send a huge shout out to all my fellow Whisky Bloggers! Keep doing such great jobs. I hope, I will meet some of you guys in 2019 at some place. For now, I start my New Years Eve Celebrations and hope you guys do the same. See you in 2019💫🍾🥃🥂🌃 Sláinte Tim

Merry Christmas to all of you #instadrammers ! I that you are going to have a wonderful time with your loved ones, great food and one or the other fine dram! I left Santa a wee dram of that amazing Secret Speyside 16 and hope he will enjoy it as much as I did 🎅🥃💫

Excited to try this one - #tobermory 12yo by Signatory Vintage for German Local Dealer Selection. Comes straight from a first fill sherry butt with a hefty 65.5% Abv. Tasting notes will follow next week, so stay tuned! Enjoy your weekend everyone!

*Unbezahlte Werbung/Ad* Last week I have received this bottle from the kind people at @fesslermill1396 . Today I had to give it a try! The #mettermalt is made of Barley and Rye and was matured for 3.5 years in exBourbon and exScotch casks. What is very interesting is that at Fesslermill every step is done on their own. That means full control from barley to bottle! In addition, only CO2 neutral technologies such as solar and water power are used to produce the Whisky. Sounds fantastic. Nose: Rather shy on the nose. Some vanilla and light fruit such as ripe pears and oranges. The casks influence is clearly there as well. Palate: Quite strong for only 40% Abv. which has not to be negative. Other than that the nose is represented quite well. Again I find vanilla, ginger and oranges with a hint of herbs and spices. Finish: Medium, ginger, honey. If I would have tasted this blind, I would not have located this Whisky in Germany but rather in Ireland. It is one of the better German ones I have tasted so far. It would be interesting to see what time does to this Mettermalt since 3.5 years is still very young. Seems like Fesslermill is on a good path. It would also be interesting what a Single MetterMalt from Fesslermill would taste like. A big thank you to the kind people at Fesslermill for the complimentary bottle of MetterMalt.

Today was a big day for my fellow whisky enthusiasts and me! We filled our cask with fresh Island New Make. You all should have been there! The new make smelled fantastic with lots of sweet fruit like peaches, pears, apples, water melon and a very nice malty touch. It was shipped a few weeks ago from Scotland to Germany in bulk. The cask previously held Jim Beam. We found a cooper who resized it for us to 29 litres and then, we filled it with Port wine for another six months. Our goal is to let it mature for at least three years from now on. @silberohr25 do you think this is going to work since the cask is still quite small?

It's Laddie-time again! Today I review a true Classic of the Islay Distillery - the Laddie Ten (2014) Link for German Tasting nose in Bio! What is your favourite Laddie bottling? Enjoy your #weekend everyone! *Werbung aufgrund von Markennennung*Flasche selbst gekauft und selbst genossen* Islay*Single Malt Scotch Whisky*Matured in American Oak*10yo*46% Abv.*Natural Color*NCF Notes: Nose Somehow ambivalent, at first very soft and then powerful. Beautifully maritime, fresh and fruity at the same time. There are overripe fruits reminiscent of peaches, oranges and pears. In addition, I find a subtle herbal note, cereals, significant oak and a hint of smoke. There is a lot to discover here for the age. Taste In the palate the malt shows that it is still quite young. Clearly ginger and white pepper paired with a pleasant honey sweetness. The barrels have left a strong influence, because on the tongue, the malt is now a bit bitter. Orange scrub maybe. Again there are fermented fruits. Also black tea and the aforementioned herbal notes. Finish Medium length with pepper, lots of wood and slightly sour fruit notes. Maybe not the best Laddie bottling I have had so far but for sure one to enjoy. There is a second edition of this bottling since last year which ist composed of exSherry, exBourbon and Wine Casks aus well. Therefore, I am exited to try that one as well! Sláinte Mr Barleycorn

Had a great night at Gourmétage with the pals from @kilchomansinglemalt Enjoy your Weekend everyone 🥃😊🌾

This week's review is about the wonderful Hazelburn 2004/2018 13yo Oloroso Cask Matured *Enthält unbezahlte Werbung*Flasche selbst gekauft und selbst genossen* Campbeltown * Single Malt Scotch Whisky * Matured in Oloroso Sherry Casks * Non-chillfiltered * natural Color * 47,4% Abv. * Nose At the beginning quite strong alcohol in the nose, then typical Oloroso flavors such as raisins, plums and some bitter chocolate. Also burnt caramel and oranges I perceive. Over time, the malt becomes spicier and the wood influence becomes apparent. Pleasantly sweet in the nose, once you get used to the intense alcohol. The sherry influence is what stands out the most. Taste Significantly less sweet than the nose promises. Strong in the beginning, and then Leasing a nice oily mouthfeel. There is a decent pinch of pepper, coffee, baking cocoa, prunes, raisins and also the oranges are there again. Towards the end, the wood also gets through nicely on the tongue. Overall, rather dry, which I like. Finish Medium to long with dark chocolate, some orange peel, ginger and pleasant dryness from the wood. If you are in search of a dark sherried malt that is somehow different from Glendronach or Glengoyne for example, this Hazelburn is a great choice! A little more time in the casks would have done a favour to it but its still a well crafted Whisky to me. Enjoy your Weekend everyone! Sláinte Mr Barleycorn

Got something very old in my glas today. Here is my review of the beautiful Talisker 30 year old for all of you #instadrammers *Unbezahlte Werbung*Flasche und Sample selbst gekauft und genossen* Nose Soft smoke followed by a basket of light fruits. There are grapes, apricots, mango and dates. Over time, heather herbs add to the picutre as well as honey, black pepper, a maritime note and a light alcoholic freshness. After the first sip, I also discover darker nuances like chocolate, coffee and spices (clove, nutmeg). The longer the malt stands and has time to unfold, the sweeter the nose gets and the herbs become more intense. Taste Very oily and voluminous with yellow gums, black pepper and lots of fruit. Not as sweet as the nose suggests. Again, apricot, mango and some pineapple crystallise out. Clearly the influence of the wood is perceptible. There are again spices, milk chocolate and a slight bitterness. If you leave the Tali some time in your mouth, it also shows its typical DNA - chili. The flavors are beautifully surrounded by a distinct but elegant smoky note. Overall, quite difficult to break down, as the flavors merge together. Finish Long with neat wood, pepper, apricot jam, candied ginger, honey and light smoke. Just fell in Love with this one! Great to taste how Talisker develops over time and still keeps its typical flavours.

Just as the days during this time of the year my malts also get darker 😉 This week's review is about Glen Garioch's 15-year-old Sherry Cask Matured expression. • *Unbezahlte Werbung aufgrund von Markennennung * Whisky selbst gekauft und genossen * Nose Wow! Really great Oloroso nose. Very intense with all sorts of dark fruits, especially dried plums. But at the same time also mirabelle and oranges. The alcohol brings a pleasant freshness and the association with mint into the glass. In addition, I find marzipan, nut butter, cane sugar, malt and a slight herbal note. After a while, I also discover the sulfur that I had heard of before. But fits perfectly into the overall picture! Taste On the tongue, the Glen Garioch is extremely oily and does not hide its 53.7% Abv. In the beginning quite sweet and nice and full, some dried fruits will come through again. The nose is very well represented here. Again there are plums, now also raisins, oranges and ripe mirabelles, which I think of. In addition, there are dark chocolate, some oak, and also the slight herbal notes come through. If I had tasted blindly I would have thought it maybe even a little older than 15 years, because of the mirabelle plums, which I somehow always have with older sherry maturations. Finish Midium to long with sherry, orange peel, honey and a subtle bitterness. This is a very well done sherried whisky. Age, alcohol content and sherry influence go very well with each other. Too sad it has been discontinued. Sláinte
