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.

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.

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

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.
