  • Yesterday we had another lovely tasting event with @scotchvoyager & Ben of Angus Dundee Distillers, guiding us through @tomintoulwhisky core range. Find my tasting notes below (all three are Bourbon matured only, chill-filtered & use colouring): 10yo (40% ABV) 👃 The nose is yeasty at first, like undone bread, starchy and then becoming more and more sweet and fruity with apple, apricot, unripe peach and persipan. The longer it breathes, the sweeter it becomes: butterscotch, candied apple and Haribo Colorado (the brown -bliquorice - brown blocks if you know what I mean?) 👅 It's prickly and surprisingly spicy at first, apple and wood aromas are accompanied almond and marzipan - a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. 🏁 Apple freshness and a hint of almond peel bitterness - a very dry finish indeed! Interesting how many facets this one is showing, from super sweet / starchy (nose) to a bitter and superbly dry finish! 16yo (40% ABV) 👃 It's apple again, together with a nutty aroma and somewhat malty of dark gingerbread, and a hint of dried mango. Later on it becomes more doughy like an old fashioned apple pie. 👅 Again a creamy mouthfeel, very smooth and gentle with loads of nuts and oak, less fruity than the nose. 🏁 Nuts and dryness with a hint of bitter stone fruit aromas as in apricot. 21yo (40% ABV) 👃 A heavier sweetness of a Pink Lady apple, sweet and almost perfumed with notes of brown / caramelised sugar. 👅 Apple with a tartness, white pepper spiciness, prickly at first, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly waxy and sticky (would've guessed at least 46% ABV). 🏁 A nice pepperiness with hints of oak in a rather short finish. I did not know Tomintoul Whisky before, but I'm not surprised it's called "The Gentle Dram"! Nice and smooth - the apple and bitter almond stone fruit flavours to me seem typical for their new make style! Thanks again for the invitation and the entertaining evening, enjoyed it a lot! Special thanks to @scotchvoyager ! Cheers and enjoy your dramming 🥃 [Unpaid ad - samples provided]

  • Tasting night with @glencadamwhisky - massive thanks to @scotchvoyager and @angusdundeejo for hosting the event and inviting me to get to know the core range! 10yo (46% ABV) 👃 A very fresh and crisp nose, fruity, slightly sour apples, citrus and vanilla go well with fresh hay and custard. 👅 Prickly fresh and surprisingly bitter as in citrus peel / grapefruit, spicy and some nice woody oak. A light mouthfeel fitting the flavours. 🏁 A surprisingly long finish, mostly due to the bitter notes, but that freshness and fruitiness paired with a woody dry flavour really caught me! 15yo (46% ABV) 👃 Pear, nutmeg, white raisins and again a woody dryness. 👅 Spicy and embracing, some heavier sweetness of honey and floral as with lilac. Overall a very oily, solid mouthfeel. 🏁 Slightly bitter, but way more sweetness than with the 10yo - after a while you get aromas of coffee grounds and a delicate liquorice. It's totally different to the 10yo, heavier and warmer, not as fresh - the difference is the share of first fill bourbon barrels used, which is roughly at around 55-60%, lending more wood aromas to the initially tropical fruity new make. 21yo (46% ABV) 👃 The smell of an old style English marmelade - heavy orangy bitterness, peel and again dry oak together with a dash of cinnamon. Wow! 👅 A sweet freshness of orange (not like the lemony style of the 10yo), bitter peel as in orange short bread and hints of tangerine next to oak aromas. A warming mouthfeel, full-bodied and smooth. 🏁 A truly long and lasting finish, almost like the memory of a marmelade toast for breakfast at noon time - plus some gentle woody flavours again. I did not know a single Glencadam bottling before tonight, but I'm really surprised of the quality - it does show the influence of maturation over the years where only Bourbon barrels are used - that citrus fruitiness is definitely a major part of the Glencadam new make style. Would be really interesting to get a sample of it to double check and see where the journey starts from... Thanks again for the invitation and the entertaining and culinary evening together! Cheers and enjoy your dramming 🥃 [Unpaid ad - samples provided]

  • What a fantastic line-up of tonight's online tasting with @stkiliandistillers - indeed a happy #germanwhisky day to all of us! 1) Signature Edition 6: the "Franconian" one full of wine aromas and a lovely @weyermann_specialty_malts malt basis (47.5% ABV) 2) Signature Edition 7: the newest addition to their signature series with wonderful sherry aromas (PX and Oloroso) and a bang on oak flavour (51.7% ABV) 3) private cask at cask strength (I'm afraid I missed the details here...): Wonderfully bourbon matured, delicate and rich at the same time 4) Ambassador's choice no. 3: matured in ex-@bunnahabhain Staoisha casks, lending the liquid a perfectly subtle smokiness and lively fruitiness - well chosen by master distiller @mariorudolf and honorary brand ambassador Gavin Ryan Thomson @dramtastic ! (63.3% ABV) 5) Bud Spencer - smoked: With a fistful of smoke, this one knocks you right on top of your head - amarone cask finished, the Italo-way 😉 (49% ABV) 6) Signature Edition 4: the smoky one, and still my favourite of the signatures... Sherry matured and a crisp smokiness, the perfect combo for a young wild one! (48% ABV) 7) new lime liquor: nice and fresh, possibly perfect on top of any ice cream - but no Whisky...😉 Thanks a million for the invitation to attend this technically and gastronomically perfect tasting for free, and congrats to such a wonderful line-up! What a lovely evening with my companions from the #lostanddramed ! Thx to @mariorudolf , @dramtastic and to @andreasthummler ! Cheers and enjoy your dramming! 🥃 . . . . .

  • What a lovely #tasting night: "@lindoresabbeydistillery deconstructed"! Five samples were under scrutiny: 1) Aqua Vitae (40% ABV) > Herbal and spicy, there's clove, dates and raisins... infused new make drink 2) New Make Spirit (63,5% ABV) > Incredibly (tropical) fruity, creamy and powerful with a massive oiliness - not to mentioned it's been awarded the best Scottish new make of the year 2020! 3) Bourbon Cask no.229 (62,3% ABV) > A young (not even three years old yet) dram of lovely vanilla sweetness, clementine citrus and that wonderful new make tropical fruitiness - absolute stunner and a perfect symbiosis of cask and new make style: My favourite of the night! 4) Sherry Cask no.95 (61,9% ABV) > Heavy sweetness, dry tannins and a rich and oily mouthfeel - clearly an outstanding sherry cask, but it's actually overlaying that wonderful fruitiness of the new make. 5) STR Cask no.38 (61,9% ABV) > What a sample! Shaved, toasted and re-charred barrique red wine cask, and you can tell the rejuvenation helped embracing the distillery's new make character a lot! There's loads of red fruit, heavy sweetness and tannins - 2nd place of the night! Have you heard of Lindores Abbey Distillery in Scotland's Fife (lowland distillery)? Are you part of the 1494?? Thx again to @prineusgmbh for the invitation and to Lindores' Tim & Drew for my first (virtual) distillery tour in two years... a superb line-up making us all waiting for the release to share with the Whisky world. #openyourbottles Cheers and enjoy your dramming! 🥃 [Unpaid ad mentioning brands and linking]

  • Yesterday night I held a charming beginners' tasting called "A culinary round trip", which a group of colleagues booked to socialise with each other and to get their Whisky journey kick-started. We enjoyed five standard drams of good value to cover a good part of what Scotland has to offer - making people aware of the variety of and differences in flavours available; and that Whisky shouldn't be judged as "tastes alcoholic, only to enjoy with coke"!😬 Here's the line-up: 1) @speyburn_whisky Bradan Orach (40% ABV) a light and delicate introductory dram, full of honey, blossoms and malty sweetness - a golden Speysider 2) @auchentoshan Three Wood (43% ABV) a full-bodied, warming and very gentle Lowland dram of sherry richness and smooth finish thx to triple distillations 3) @clynelish.distillery 14yo (46% ABV) a Highland stunner of sea breeze and that very particular waxy flavour 4) @glenfarclasdistillery 105 (CS at 60% ABV) a sherry matured Speysider of full strength and power, with a lovely sherry and brown sugar sweetness and that extra smoothness 5) @lagavulinwhisky 16yo (43% ABV) an Islay as well as all-time classic if you wanna tell people about the elegance of peat smoke perfectly balanced with sherry sweetness and a fresh sea breeze Surprisingly (to me at least), the winner of the night was the Auchentoshan followed by the Speyburn - proving again how different people's tastes and preferences are. Thx again to everyone participating for an amusing, interactive and very open-minded evening of Whisky aroma travelling around Scotland! What are your experiences with the mentioned drams? Do you like them, love them - or hate them? And what are your dos and don'ts about beginners' line-ups? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Cheers and enjoy your dramming! 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃 [Unpaid ad mentioning brands and linking products]

  • Good morning everyone! Just getting ready for my pipe lesson with this lovely brew... - coffee aged in Whisky barrels! 😍 These highly aromatic coffees are aged for - 21 weeks in an @auchentoshan barren leading to heavily sweet honey and vanilla flavours and - 10 weeks in a @laphroaig barrel to give your mornings the exact right amount of peat and liquorice 😉 Lovely and innovative stuff done by @ovenbird_coffee from Glasgow! 🙌 Do you know their work / coffee and have an opinion? Share them in the comments, will argue with you after the caffeine does its magic...😎 Cheers for now, have a wonderful day and never forget: don't drink and pipe! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐑🎶 [Unpaid ad / unbezahlte Werbung durch Produktnennung und Verlinkung]

  • @stkiliandistillers Tasting in the Whisky club... After attending the online tasting, I ordered some bottles for our whisky club - some days ago it was about time to try them: 1) Bud Spencer mild (46% ABV) 👃Peach & apricot, fantastically fruity and super sweet. 👅 Slightly alcoholic, sweet & rough... A drop of water opens up the dram, turning the acerbity into wood aromas. 🏁 The acerbity dominates, paired with sweetness of caramel & honey. 2) Cask no. 1 Johanniskreuzeiche (58.7% ABV) 👃Glue to the max!😵 After a while, this turns into extremely overripe, slightly rotten pineapple, yellow plum, prune & raisins, accompanied by aromas of forest soil & bark. 👅 Pickled sweet cherries! Heavy sweetness of red fruit, prune, raisins & all of a sudden a heavy oak wood flavour. Adding a few drops of water climaxes the cherry! 🏁 Oak & heavy dried fruit sweetness, ginger bread & dark (slightly burnt?) caramel. With water, cherry & dry oak become dominant, with dark chocolate & roasted coffee. 3) Bud Spencer peated (49% ABV) 👃 Apple, slightly mouldy with lovely peat smoke. After a while, the sweetness turns into galia melon, papaya & furry peach. 👅 A rather watery mouthfeel, a soft burn & a nice phenolic-medical smokiness, but even more cold ash & lychee sweetness. 🏁 Smoke & oak with liquorice. 4) Signature Edition Three (50% ABV) 👃 Apple, persipan, vanilla & honey sweetness plus a light bitterness. After a while, there's also some woody tangerine. 👅 Subtle smoke, very well incorporated into malty sweetness & roast aromas, honeydew and galipot. 🏁 A long finish indeed, prickly, fresh & woody, with a lovely & lively spiciness of forest, galipot & woodruff. 5) Signature Edition Four (48% ABV) 👃 Dry sherry & oak, sugar crust as in brandy beans with rather obvious lovage aromas (due to PX maturation), dark chocolate & chocolate peppermint. 👅 Prickly & woody, very oaky! Again, the lovage sends her regards paired with red wine reduction, clove, cocoa & roast aromas plus obvious smoke. 🏁 Coffee & cocoa, aromatic indeed with oak, lovage and honeydew. What a line-up, very interesting & partly demanding😉 Enjoy your dramming folks! 🥃 [Unpaid ad /Werbung]

  • Happy #worldwhiskyday everyone! Today I celebrate with a very special release, @gordonandmacphail 's Dallas Dhu - distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2008 at 40% ABV. Before the distillery just outside Forres (Speyside) went into production in 1899 under the planned name Dallasmore, it was sold by its owner Alexander Edward (who already built Craigellachie, Aultmore and Benromach distilleries) to Wright and Greig, Ltd. - a Glasgow based blending company desperately in need for new supplies to their popular "Roderick Dhu" blend. This is why before opening, it was already renamed to Dallas Dhu to emphasise the connection. The name is Gaelic and means "Black Bog", which is pretty characteristic of the ground it is built on... Not even a century after its opening and quite some troubled times (a huge fire on site, the shut down of the nearby railway connection making it harder for supplies to reach the distillery, etc.) the unreliable water supply finally led to the closure of Dallas Dhu distillery on 16 March 1983. This is one of the last spirits produced, and definitely one of the last bottlings available of this long lost distillery. The site is nowadays under the wonderful care of @historicscotland and open to visitors. Happy World Whisky Day to all of you and enjoy your dramming!🥃 Cheers!
