New Blog entry - A Dream of Scotland "The Old Man of Islay" bottled by @bruehler_whiskyhaus #linkinbio Single Malt Scotch Whisky | South coast of Islay | Matured for 10 years in a Pedro Ximénes Cask | 54.7% Abv. | NCF | Natural Color Nose: Mineral and medical peat smoke hits the nose right away. It is not overwhelming but omnipresent. The peat smoke is accompanied by fresh red fruit such as wild berries and red grapes. At the same time the malt brings a pleasant des breeze to the nose. There is an intense sweetness that reminds me of cottoncandy. Some citric notes round up the experience. Palate: Extremely oily and sirup like on the palate. That cottoncandy sweetness reminds me of drambuie and smokey honey. The 54.7% Abv. are perfectly integrated and lead to a pleasant sizzle on the tongue. There are fruity notes as well like wild berry jam. The malt cannot deny the influence of the sherry cask. Very rich mouth feel - I this one a whole lot! Finish: Medium finish. Creamy, fruity with citrus and long lingering peat smoke. This Islay Malt is definitely for sweet tooths! Unfortunately it is sold out already. Therefore, I am really excited for the releases to come from Brühler Whiskyhaus.

Perfect way to relax on a sunday! Getting educated and entertained at the same time by German magazine @derwhiskybotschafter Enjoy your sundays everyone! #readwhibo #sunday #relax #whisky #whiskey #singlemalt #scotch #rye #bourbon #grain #magazine #whiskybotschafter #mackmyra #laphroaig #glenmoray #ardbeg #whiskybase #slyrs #highlands #speyside #Islay

Last weekend me and my fellow whisky nerds from Leipzig filled this 30l exBourbon cask with port wine. It was built out of an ex Jim Beam ASB for our needs at Fassfabrik Krogemann in Bremen. From now on it will rest for the next 6 months before we are going to replace the port by 30l of scottish new make. Stay tuned for more info on the experiment! Sláinte!

New Blogpost! #linkinbio👉💻 Great Whisky but already sold out! @whic.de Nymphs of Whisky Collection has a new member from Ben Nevis Distillery. Matured in a sherry butt for 22 years this malt has intense fruit flavours. There is a beautiful mixture of sweet and sour in combination with mature wooden flavours. Also some chocolate, pine trees and citrus make it to my nose and palate. The finish adds another layer to it with hints of coffee, berries and a pleasant bitterness. Check out https://whic.de/schottland/abfueller-whic for their other releases. Sláinte!

New Blogpost at mrbarleycorn.com! I hope everyone is having a great and relaxed sunday. I finally found some time to write some new notes. This time I have revied Kilkerran 12 of Glengyle Distillery. #linkinbio👉💻 Here are my quick notes in English for all of you #instadrammers Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Matured in 30% exSherry and 70% exBourbon Casks | 12 yo | 46% Abv. | NCF | Natural Color Nose: Sweet and maritime peat smoke come slowly to my nose. The journey continues with red apples, pears and grapes towards a crumble with caramelized brown sugar. Delicious! After a while there are citric notes, honey and elegant vanilla. The 46% Abv. is almost not present on the nose. Palate: Very oily and rich on the palate and again it is maritime sweet-salty peat smoke that is slightly dominant. There is still enough space for other aromas such as honey, butterscotch, apples and pears (the peel of it). It also tastes somehow must but not in an unoleasant way. After a while I identify red grapes, nuts and cereals. There is a lot to discover. Very complex. Finish: Medium finish. Malty and Dry with sweet smoke. I am impressed by the quality produced at Glengyle Distillery! Very nice malt for a great value. One of my favs at the Moment.

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.
