<p><span style="color: #fefefe;">Salzboottour, Movie and Malt oder die klassischen Seminare &#8211; <strong>viel Wissenswertes und gute Stimmung</strong> stehen bei uns im Mittelpunkt. Auf Augenhöhe holen wir die Genießer ab und geben neue Impulse. Dabei helfen uns auch die engsten Kontakte zu diversen Brennereien, die wir mitunter sogar beraten. Gerne senden wir Euch Referenzen.</span></p>

I am happy to sample these occassionally.</p>
<p>Recent stunners were a <strong>Caol Ila 1990</strong> from the Casks of Distinction-series (92-93 points, elegant and coastal), an undisclosed <strong>2008 Bowmore</strong> from Sherry casks (91 points, what a bacon plum) and the portrait series triplet for Kirsch Import for their third birthday (<strong>Unknown Islay 1991</strong>: 92 points; <strong>Glenburgie 1995</strong>: 90 points); <strong>Caperdonich 2000</strong>: 90+ points).</p>
<p>In connection with Kirsch, they also dabble in ‚grape and apple juice‘ – try their <strong>Armagnacs from Aurian</strong> or<strong> Cognacs from Pasquet</strong>. The <strong>Calvados</strong> releases were another good leap to broaden the portfolio &#8211; we need more movers and shakers in the field of Malternatives. <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Wu-Dram-Clan-3-years-portrait-faces-unknown-islay-caperdonich-glenburgie.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11286" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Wu-Dram-Clan-3-years-portrait-faces-unknown-islay-caperdonich-glenburgie-150x86.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="86" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Wu-Dram-Clan-3-years-portrait-faces-unknown-islay-caperdonich-glenburgie-150x86.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Wu-Dram-Clan-3-years-portrait-faces-unknown-islay-caperdonich-glenburgie-300x173.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Wu-Dram-Clan-3-years-portrait-faces-unknown-islay-caperdonich-glenburgie-1024x590.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Wu-Dram-Clan-3-years-portrait-faces-unknown-islay-caperdonich-glenburgie-768x443.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Wu-Dram-Clan-3-years-portrait-faces-unknown-islay-caperdonich-glenburgie.jpg 1440w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>I recommend the 2017 taken from Hampden Estate Rum Casks! Now we can expect another Jamaican pleasure, a <strong>Longpond</strong> <strong>22 y.o.</strong> is about to be released, alongside with a <strong>Ledaig 2007</strong>. Stay tuned for these offerings.</p>

Doesn’t sound sexy? Stunad! Glenrothes was a favourite among blenders and still is very underrated as a Single Malt. It is a treasure to be unearthed. Lets try:</p>
<p>It starts off like liquid summer sun, bright, mature, sweet and not really woody. I am getting blood orange, quince, passionfruit, mango, cristallized pineapple, coconut, fudge and salted caramel, vanilla pastry. On the palate it changes to hay, banana and greener elements at first, the dry spice of the wood adds a nice complexity in check. All that is rounded off by peach, ginger and curd cheese-vanilla cake in the long finish. A charming summer dram.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The boys of &#8218;Grape of the Art&#8216; keep at it &#8211; and I am thankful to be able to try their recent selections. It took me a while due to certain circumstances, but: here we go! Thank you for the patience. Read up on their story <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2022/03/grape-of-the-art/">here</a>. They even plan an Armagnac Fair soon, check it out on their <a href="http://www.armagnac-festival.de">pages</a>.</p>
<p>Due to my late post, I am keeping the notes shorter than usual. These releases might be still available somewhere, though &#8211; and worth looking out for.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cognac Jean-Luc Pasquet Lot 79 Grape of the Art 41 y.o. Grande Champagne 2022 52,3%</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Cognac-Pasquet-Lot-79-Grape-of-the-Art.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11276" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Cognac-Pasquet-Lot-79-Grape-of-the-Art-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Cognac-Pasquet-Lot-79-Grape-of-the-Art-300x300.png 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Cognac-Pasquet-Lot-79-Grape-of-the-Art-150x150.png 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Cognac-Pasquet-Lot-79-Grape-of-the-Art-768x765.png 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Cognac-Pasquet-Lot-79-Grape-of-the-Art.png 816w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>This Ugni Blanc Cognac matured in a Limousin Oak Cask in a humid cellar and was bottled at cask strength (273 bottles). Again, like many of the GOTA-releases, it has traces of pot still rum &#8211; within the cognac range of aromas. First it plays it close to the chest, then it opens beautifully. Spices, smoked herbs, leafy moments, pastry, lemon zest, ginger, vanilla, quinces, apples, white chocolate, plums and gooseberries. On the palate it starts bitter and turns to fruit then. Cooked lemons, spices (even incense), grapes, vanilla, plums, eucalypt take center stage and then lead into a medium-long finish of  elegance.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Armagnac Hontambère 36 y.o. Domaine Pouchégu 1985 Grape of the Art cask #H6 Ténarèze 56,6%</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Hontambere-Armagnac-Grape-of-the-Art-Pouchegu.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-11277" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Hontambere-Armagnac-Grape-of-the-Art-Pouchegu-298x300.png" alt="" width="298" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Hontambere-Armagnac-Grape-of-the-Art-Pouchegu-298x300.png 298w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Hontambere-Armagnac-Grape-of-the-Art-Pouchegu-150x150.png 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Hontambere-Armagnac-Grape-of-the-Art-Pouchegu-768x774.png 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Hontambere-Armagnac-Grape-of-the-Art-Pouchegu.png 816w" sizes="(max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px" /></a>My favourite so far &#8211; wow! Ugni Blanc-grapejuice matured in a wet cellar rendered 350 bottles at cask strength. This is dark and juicy, not dry yet deep as the Mariana trench &#8211; nuts, raisins, maraschino-cherries, mahogani-wood, cristallized orange skins, lime blossom and what not &#8211; mature perfection. The taste keeps up: dark berries, raisins and morello cherries, baking spices, polished tropical woods, incredibly complex like very old sherried Speyside whisky. This Tour de Force finishes long and high class &#8211; amazing pick, boys!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 92</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Armagnac Domaine de Danis 33 y.o. Grape of the Art 1988 cask #34 Ténarèze 47,6%</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Armagnac-Danis-1988-GOTA.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11278" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Armagnac-Danis-1988-GOTA-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Armagnac-Danis-1988-GOTA-300x300.png 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Armagnac-Danis-1988-GOTA-150x150.png 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Armagnac-Danis-1988-GOTA-768x768.png 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Armagnac-Danis-1988-GOTA.png 811w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>The brighter twin of Hontambère, a Folle Blanche eau de vie matured in a wet cellar again, 387 bottles at cask strength. Full transparency as always with GOTA. Very round, pastry-like, dried apricots, bergamot, limoncello, warm cedar wood, wine gums and redcurrant and blueberries, Martinique-rhum. It tastes warm and citric, now daisies on green meadows join cardamom, berries, dark wood spice, plum cake and vanilla. So nice and light, it escapes your senses too quickly unless you drink the next sip. Drift away, my friends, this is a summer dream. And I swear, I had written this note before I saw the image.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91</strong></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Armagnac Séailles 32 y.o. GOTA 1988 &#8211; 11.2021, Cask #76, 203 btl., 50% (Cask Strength, Ugni Blanc Grapes, Tenareze)</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Seailles-1988-Armagnac-GOTA.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11177" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Seailles-1988-Armagnac-GOTA-199x300.jpeg" alt="" width="199" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Seailles-1988-Armagnac-GOTA-199x300.jpeg 199w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Seailles-1988-Armagnac-GOTA-681x1024.jpeg 681w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Seailles-1988-Armagnac-GOTA-100x150.jpeg 100w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Seailles-1988-Armagnac-GOTA.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a>Comment:</strong> This is a Tour de Force, a big boy, not your average Armagnac, also different from the previous Séailles release. Bold, bitter, balsamic and spice-laden start. Jamaica meets Armagnac &#8230; lamp oil on mahogany, resin, glue, licorice and cloves accompany candle wax, flowers, mint leaves, brown banana and rum. Holy feathered cow! It becomes sweeter now on marzipan, nuts and grapejuice. I also get some aniseed. Powerhouse, muscle show, not sublte at all. On the palate it arrives rather dry with a combo of wooden bitterness and juicy wine aromas, also becoming sweeter with time. Mulled wine, cloves, nutmeg, tar and resin, many spices. The finish rounds off this wild ride on bitter chocolate and grapes. Altogether, not for the faint-hearted or the purist, this is atypical yet interesting, whatever you prefer. For me, being a fan of harmony and finesse, this is too much &#8211; but I know this Armagnac will split the crowd. Try for yourself. I did three times, too much disco for this old dude writing this note. Thanks for letting me taste it anyway, GOTA-team!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 86</strong></p>

A classic with reminiscence of an old Sherry Malt, slight noble dryness. Freshly polished mahogany furniture with some dust in forgotten corners, dates, maraschino-cherries and raisins, hazelnuts and coconut touch, menthol, Asian spices, lemon grass, Javanese cubeb pepper, pastry, vanilla, berry-joghurt &#8211; Baco bang! It tastes just like the nose suggests, butter and nuts create rancio, Sherry, balsamic notes, well-tuned. The finish is becoming sweeter and fruitier, medium length. A fine Armagnac in an old style. Great choice! Get this!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89 &#8211; 90</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hooray, two new GotA-releases &#8211; an old Cognac and an Armagnac come our way:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cognac Jean-Luc Pasquet Lot 68-72 Grape of the Art #3, Cask 21, 66.6%</strong></span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Pasquet-space.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11112" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Pasquet-space-206x300.jpg" alt="" width="206" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Pasquet-space-206x300.jpg 206w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Pasquet-space-704x1024.jpg 704w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Pasquet-space-103x150.jpg 103w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Pasquet-space-768x1117.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Pasquet-space-1056x1536.jpg 1056w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Pasquet-space.jpg 1386w" sizes="(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px" /></a>It is very nice to see more high level Cognacs around these days. The guys from &#8218;Grape of the Art&#8216; </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">followed that path and went for a Pasquet, a great house. This 1968 and 1972 vintage mix comes from great times. They chose to bottle it at </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">full cask strength, which is not always a success with fine grapsters, but on the other hand, they </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">achieve a power and &#8218;rumminess&#8216; they seek (according to their website and mission statement, as </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">they started out with rums as their first choice). Read up on them <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2022/03/grape-of-the-art/">here</a> on slowdrink in a previous </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">article. Now let’s put this bad boy on the road:</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Comment: </span></strong><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">The abv-level of 66,6% is a tour de force, hence the spirit is closed at first. You need time and probably </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">some water. It comes across amost like a Demerara rum in moments, I kid you not. Nevertheless its </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">classiness shines through. I am getting spices and dark wood, gingerbread, nuts, white pepper, </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">geranium, dandelions, licorice and Turkish delight. A minty freshness, tar, resin, banana, dates and </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">sultanas chime in into this atypical yet impressive nose. To become more Cognac-like, you need to </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">add water as it changes the Pasquet pirate for the better – then it explodes with aromas. It is fun to </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">play around with water here, and it keeps changing along with it. On the palate it remains a wood-</span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">driven powerhouse a la heavy rum or Bourbon but with water, rancio, berries and finesse is right </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">there for you. The finish revisits all of the above.</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GotA-Samples.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-11114" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GotA-Samples-197x300.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GotA-Samples-197x300.jpg 197w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GotA-Samples-672x1024.jpg 672w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GotA-Samples-99x150.jpg 99w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GotA-Samples-768x1169.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GotA-Samples-1009x1536.jpg 1009w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/GotA-Samples.jpg 1295w" sizes="(max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px" /></a>A verdict is difficult, it depends on your taste. Classic Cognac lovers need to add water and it might </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">be a tad too brutal for them. Caroni or Port Mourant fans and connoisseurs of heavy spirits like whisky </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">might absolutely go for it. Choose your side and give it a try.</span></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Armagnac Domaine Cutxan 2006 &#8211; 2022 Grape of the Art, Cask #T37, 50,5%</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Made from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in Bas Armagnac, this is a worthy follow-up to its predecessors. The boys had a good hand in picking winners. It starts with a nice grapiness and juiciness, the oak is well-tuned (good balance), Asian spice, gingerbread, <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Cutxan.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11116" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Cutxan-300x157.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="157" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Cutxan-300x157.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Cutxan-150x78.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Cutxan.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>licorice, vanilla, dried apricots and peaches, orange peel, lychee, nut cake with milk-chocolate glaze and a trace of leather. It goes down the road of the &#8218;Le Freche&#8216; a bit. Water is not necessary but it profits from some drops. On the palate, it shows power and spiciness, then the fruit follows. It has quite a bite, raw tads and corners, unpolished, also a bit &#8218;rummy&#8216;. The water brings more fruitiness and makes it creamy. The finish delivers grapes and spices from before, becoming fresher and finer.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When my attention was brought to this lovely project called &#8218;Grape of the Art&#8216; undertaken by a German &#8211; or Swabian, for precision &#8211; group of friends, I immediately liked the idea. Robert Bauer, Oliver Gerhardt, Sascha Junkert, Christian Maier and Leonard Stumpf are real spirit enthusiasts with experience and some also have interesting websites like the Rum X Community, Armagnac.de or Whisky Digest. Check them out: <a href="https://www.grapeoftheart.com/">https://www.grapeoftheart.com/</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/GotA_LEncantada.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11020" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/GotA_LEncantada-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/GotA_LEncantada-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/GotA_LEncantada-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/GotA_LEncantada.jpg 540w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a>Just like us, they want to share their passion for fine grape juice, esp. Armagnac, with the world and with whisky connoisseurs in particular. They sampled, traveled and learned that only few products match their expectations. So they wanted to change that and import themselves. They aim for unaltered and undiluted single casks of high quality, a road less traveled but so rewarding. The boys don&#8217;t limit themselves to Armagnacs only as their third release is a Saint Lucia Rum.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s try their first releases:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Armagnac Domaine Le Frêche 13 y,o, GotA #1, 2007, 57%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-11022" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-191x300.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-191x300.jpg 191w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-652x1024.jpg 652w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-95x150.jpg 95w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-768x1206.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-978x1536.jpg 978w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-1304x2048.jpg 1304w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/grape-of-the-art-le-freche-2007-armagnac-scaled.jpg 1630w" sizes="(max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px" /></a>Comment:</strong> This was found in the cellars of L&#8217;Encantada and stood out for quality, the cask only rendered 150 bottles at cask strength. I am stunned how mature it is after &#8218;only&#8216; 13 years. An amazing nose, dense, juicy, powerful yet balanced and with quite some rancio already. There are marzipan, assorted glazed nuts, leather, vanilla, dandelion, marigold, pepper and fruit (plums, raspberries, morello cherries, red- and blackcurrant, berry tea), Indian joss sticks and incense. Deep, dude! In the mouth it starts drier than expected and a bit demerara-esque. Licorice, mahogani and furniture polish, concentrated grape juice with dark fruitiness, chocolate raisins and spices. The heaviness carries on into a wonderful finish that leaves you craving another glass. A worthy first pick!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 90</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Armagnac Domaine Séailles 20 y.o., GotA #2, 2000, 54%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Armagnac-Seailles-20-Grape-of-the-Art-2000-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11024" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Armagnac-Seailles-20-Grape-of-the-Art-2000-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Armagnac-Seailles-20-Grape-of-the-Art-2000-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Armagnac-Seailles-20-Grape-of-the-Art-2000-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Armagnac-Seailles-20-Grape-of-the-Art-2000-150x113.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Armagnac-Seailles-20-Grape-of-the-Art-2000-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Armagnac-Seailles-20-Grape-of-the-Art-2000-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Armagnac-Seailles-20-Grape-of-the-Art-2000-2048x1536.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Comment:</strong> The second release has a nice unearthing story, let me quote: &#8222;Today we introduce you to Domaine de Séailles from Ténarèze – a small, artisanal wine &amp; Armagnac producer founded by the Labérenne family and now passionately run by the super sympathetic winemaker Julien. By a stroke of luck, we followed a road sign as we passed through and ended up at a rustic and lovely estate. There we were allowed to explore the entire atmospheric warehouse (with chandeliers!) and were just blown away by the variety of styles!&#8220; Again, cask strength, no additives, a single cask, 195 bottles of joy.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Route-de-Armagnac-sign-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11027" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Route-de-Armagnac-sign-1-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Route-de-Armagnac-sign-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Route-de-Armagnac-sign-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Route-de-Armagnac-sign-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Route-de-Armagnac-sign-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Route-de-Armagnac-sign-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Route-de-Armagnac-sign-1.jpg 1944w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>And yep, they picked another winner. This is sporting brighter fruits and oaky elements like caramel, vanilla, Asian spice, pepper, cedar &#8211; white oak? It is even more complex than its predecessor. I find glazed pastries, marzipan, nuts, rancio, flowers, tea, fruits (lemons, plums, chriies and berries) and this succulent red grape juiciness. It tastes excellent, even better than the nose, less wood now, more fruit juice and rancio, a complex balance with echoes of the nose. Elegant finish, very quaffable too. Super!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 90+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Rum Saint Lucia Distillers 15 y.o., Chairman&#8217;s Reserve for GotA &amp; Rum X, 2005, 61,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Saint-Lucia-Chairman-Grape-of-the-Art-Rum-X-2005-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11030" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Saint-Lucia-Chairman-Grape-of-the-Art-Rum-X-2005-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Saint-Lucia-Chairman-Grape-of-the-Art-Rum-X-2005-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Saint-Lucia-Chairman-Grape-of-the-Art-Rum-X-2005-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Saint-Lucia-Chairman-Grape-of-the-Art-Rum-X-2005-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Saint-Lucia-Chairman-Grape-of-the-Art-Rum-X-2005-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Saint-Lucia-Chairman-Grape-of-the-Art-Rum-X-2005-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Saint-Lucia-Chairman-Grape-of-the-Art-Rum-X-2005-2048x2048.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Comment:</strong> A real authentic rum that aged in a Bourbon cask in tropical climate only- wow. The make consists of 50% John Dore and 50% Vendôme. And what a funky fella&#8216; this is, holy cow. Not for beginners, sweet teeth or faint-hearted, more for us suckers of &#8218;da dirt&#8216; <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Imagine a small plastic producer&#8217;s backyard near a forest on which all kind of junk is stored: old paint, tar, diesel, rubber, dried-up glue stick (Pritt), bruised blood oranges, bananas and limes and the production hall smells on the side &#8211; weird but nice. The forest freshness and earthy tones I am getting now are joined by hints of vanilla, salt, leather, ground pepper, spices (cinnamon, cardamom), minty gum, licorice and black olive tapenade. On the palate it arrives oily and dirty as expected. Sour battery acid meets sweet minty lemon drop (Gletschereis candy), olives, rubber and pine cones. It is becoming sweeter with fruit, almonds and spice, huge complexity, rewarding finish. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it is an unusual and funky one, but very interesting and of high quality. But you should be into such rums.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 87+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Good luck, boys, and thank you for letting me sample &#8211; carry on!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Around Christmas-time I enjoy a good glass of Cognac, and this is more than a malternative. Sebastian Jäger from Kirsch Import (congrats: they won &#8218;importer of the year&#8216;) is on our side to bring Charente-juice back to honour again. Let&#8217;s review two of their latest releases:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cognac Jean-Luc Pasquet &#8218;Organic&#8216; 2006-2021, Cask 27, Grande Champagne, Kirsch Import, 50,1%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasquet-Cognac-Kirsch-2006-cask-27.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10817" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasquet-Cognac-Kirsch-2006-cask-27-180x300.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasquet-Cognac-Kirsch-2006-cask-27-180x300.jpg 180w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasquet-Cognac-Kirsch-2006-cask-27-614x1024.jpg 614w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasquet-Cognac-Kirsch-2006-cask-27-90x150.jpg 90w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasquet-Cognac-Kirsch-2006-cask-27-768x1280.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasquet-Cognac-Kirsch-2006-cask-27-922x1536.jpg 922w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Pasquet-Cognac-Kirsch-2006-cask-27.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px" /></a>This is as &#8217;single&#8216; as it gets! From their own hand-picked organic grapes, this eau de vie was self-distilled on gas, and filled into single casks. I kid you not, it starts out like a Calvados. So many apple aromas (pie, green apple, compote, tart tatin) and vanilla jump out of the glass, then big banana, pears, raisins and butter join in. Sandal wood and oak are also playing a major part. Fresh linen, lime-infused cake glaze and white chocolate complete this unusual but harmonious nose &#8211; fresh!</p>
<p>On the palate it arrives sweeter than expected, mainly on baked apples, butter and oriental spice. Round and sound &#8211; winey acidity, grapes and yes, Calvados, show up. Very alive!</p>
<p>It finishes on medium-length with spice from exotic woods, fruit (apple, banana, grapes) and vanilla pod. A wild and unusual ride with a fresh experience in the field of Cognac! One to learn a lot from &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Score: 87-88</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cognac Vallein Tercinier &#8218;Small Batch&#8216; 41-43 &#8211; 2021, Kirsch Import, Bons Bois, 78 btl., 48,2%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cognac-vallein-tercinier-small-batch-41-43-kirsch-bons-bois.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10818" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cognac-vallein-tercinier-small-batch-41-43-kirsch-bons-bois-180x300.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cognac-vallein-tercinier-small-batch-41-43-kirsch-bons-bois-180x300.jpg 180w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cognac-vallein-tercinier-small-batch-41-43-kirsch-bons-bois-614x1024.jpg 614w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cognac-vallein-tercinier-small-batch-41-43-kirsch-bons-bois-90x150.jpg 90w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cognac-vallein-tercinier-small-batch-41-43-kirsch-bons-bois-768x1280.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cognac-vallein-tercinier-small-batch-41-43-kirsch-bons-bois-922x1536.jpg 922w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Cognac-vallein-tercinier-small-batch-41-43-kirsch-bons-bois.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px" /></a>Comment:</strong> A rare Single Estate and cask strength Cognac gem from WWII. which is now sold by a German importer &#8211; how times have changed for the better! That alone is heart-warming. It has spend its life in cask until 2006, then in Dame Jeannes (glass balloons). Let&#8217;s nose: ooops, who put the Bowmore 1968 in here? Almost kitsch in terms of fruitiness (passion fruit, guava, papaya, pink grapefruit, apple, lychee, plum, raisins, cherry) and berry aromas (all kinds, cassis etc.), uber-fruity, joined by minerality and the discreetest old wood &#8211; almost purely spirit-driven! It also plays fir twigs, moss, humidor, rancio, vanilla, lilacs, violets and so much more &#8211; in perfect balance like a finely tuned stereo!</p>
<p>It builds itself up on the palate, from mild to strong, from floral, acidic and wood-spice elements to huge exotic fruits, berries and a nutty rancio aspect with sweets! An amazing development in my mouth! I recommend big sips here &#8211; don&#8217;t miss this!</p>
<p>The finish should be illegal! All is reunited like on a huge water colour painting in which every now and then another highlight shines out. A piece of art, and not tired at all! Amazing pick with history &#8211; get it!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 92</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Wu Dram Clan boys are pumpin&#8216; out serious gourmet sh.. on a regular basis. I am a sucker for many of their releases &#8211; WU is forever, remember that! Even the big Kahuna, an Ardbeg 2001 Single Cask, is among the bunch. As my nose is finally working again I can now throw in my 2p (sorry for late). Enjoy the reviews:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cognac Bache Gabrielsen American Oak (Double Maturation) VSOP/4 y.o. for Kirsch, Single Cask, Fins Bois, 64,1%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Bache-Gabrielsen-Cognac-American-Oak-Kirsch-Cask-Strength-VSOP.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-10798" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Bache-Gabrielsen-Cognac-American-Oak-Kirsch-Cask-Strength-VSOP.jpg" alt="" width="156" height="296" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Bache-Gabrielsen-Cognac-American-Oak-Kirsch-Cask-Strength-VSOP.jpg 156w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Bache-Gabrielsen-Cognac-American-Oak-Kirsch-Cask-Strength-VSOP-79x150.jpg 79w" sizes="(max-width: 156px) 100vw, 156px" /></a></strong> This is a crazy one, very unusual. The producer with Norwegian roots is known for going modern and special ways in Cognac maturation. We loved the blue XO at cask strength from 15 years ago. This new release for Germany has spent its life in French and Tennessee oak and the Ugni Blanc grapes came from the Fins Bois region. Not your classic stats. But boy, taste this powerhouse. Heavy Hervé-style :).</p>
<p>With this one you can fool most people at a tasting &#8211; mix it among the whiskies and nobody complains. The mature nose is clearly showing American oak characteristics like vanilla, pineapple, banana, peaches and coconut. The grapes and raisins play second fiddle. Also there is some marzipan and white oak. Basically like a Pina Colada from the Charente! It tastes and swims well, no off-notes at all, vanilla-cream-style, and: more cognac shines through now. Honey, flowers, espresso, creme brulee, hints of tropical fruits. The sheer power is fun and the balance is surprising. Of course, it is no complexity monster after four years of maturation, but it tastes darn good! Not for cognac purists, but great for whisky fans and people who love to transgress borders. Simply a good drink. Stay curious! The long finish leaves you puzzled by what you just had. Cool and fun choice!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 87</strong></p>

And estery rums. So let&#8217;s dive into the parrot&#8217;s feathers: Often older Jamaicans lose their funk, but here it is well-preserved yet more balanced and mature &#8211; a great nose! It starts out with old brown bandaids soaked in iodine, olive tapenade, almonds, ripe banana, star fruit, hot mulch, glue and bitumen &#8211; all with a sweet overtone, enticing! Gletschereis drops (a classic German sweet for refreshment from way back, lemony-minty in taste) meet caramelized burnt sugar, licorice, veggie stew, burnt raisins, roots, fence coating colour can, malaga ice cream (rum-raisins), Yuzu and Sicilian lemon.</p>
<p>It tastes likewise and so goooood &#8211; noble funk! Milder than one would expect (great alcohol integration), all on high class, lending itself perfectly for the early session of estery rums &#8211; or for an introduction into this category on highest quality. Long finish! I NEED MORE.  On the side, this probably is the most guyanese Jamaican I had, which is not a bad thing &#8211; both worlds meet here. Wow. Me want parrot now!</p>

Try and you know what I mean. After these years, Ledaig somewhat changed into a lesser peaty, leathery dram with somewhat volatile distillates, not often bottled. Only after 2005, the heavy peat returned with partly great results and higher outturns in the indie market.</p>
<p>This specimen is a perfect example of an outlier of the good kind. I am glad the Wu-sters dug up this one. After a great younger Kraken which I loved, they follow up with the second octopus.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ledaig.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10791" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ledaig-300x297.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="297" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ledaig-300x297.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ledaig-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ledaig.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>The nose clearly is in the in the sour-fruity and spicy camp, autumnal somehow (fallen leaves), very nice and off the beaten track. At first I am getting tangerine, raspberry, kiwi, kumquat, grapefruit, peach, lemon drops, ginger, malt, yeast, leather, willow wood (aspirin, anyone) and glazed nut pastries. Inriguing mix. There also is sheep wool in a woollen mill, wet earth and discrete peat, hay, ginger bread, hazelnut, vanilla, incense, licorice, egg salad, brine and pepper. Compexity! It keeps getting fruitier by the time.</p>
<p>On the palate it is powerful and laden with spices, sour fruits and leather. Old wood meets shoe shine on fine leather brogues, willow branch, peach and licorice again. Water is not hurting it, try as you please.</p>
<p>It finishes long while becoming sweeter, the spices remain, nuttiness also joins the crescendo. The perfect dram for this time of year on a walk through the forest.

It is a personal decision to splurge on great booze, which this undoubtly is, and such are prices of Single Cask releases by Ardbeg or DIAGEO these days. No one has to buy, so leave it there. I think it takes big hairy balls to bring such babies to the market. So kudos &#8211; why not! We don&#8217;t judge price , only quality matters.</p>
<p>Many people were so keen on trying this. I am glad to be in the position now, I gave it two sessions. Not the shabbiest of moments :).</p>
<p>A typical Ardbeg right from the start, the refill Bourbon barrel allows the oily spirit to shine. Weapon oil (Ballistol), tires, burning pine cone, iodine, peat, leather, ointment, tarry rope with kelp, lemonized oyster, chalk, minerality, coal, aloe, menthol and mezcal, dirty harbour smells, cannon smoke &#8211; the whole spiel of a great Ardbeg in sweet background, aaahhh.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Ardbeg-20-Wu-Dram-Clan-2001.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10804" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Ardbeg-20-Wu-Dram-Clan-2001-198x300.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Ardbeg-20-Wu-Dram-Clan-2001-198x300.jpg 198w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Ardbeg-20-Wu-Dram-Clan-2001-99x150.jpg 99w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Ardbeg-20-Wu-Dram-Clan-2001.jpg 540w" sizes="(max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px" /></a>It tastes even better than it noses as it takes the direction of old-style Ardbeg now on leather, soot, flinty smoke and pine resin &#8211; no off-note here, just classic mature South coast Islay goodness with the typical slim and sweet profile in the middle, which every Ardbeg should have (sorry 8).</p>
<p>The amazing finish swells with iodine, soot, peat, flint, chalk, hints of espresso and burnt tires. A very good mellow cask that takes us back into the 1970s for moments!</p>

<p>Sebastian from Wu Dram has long joined our mission to give Cognac, Armagnac and related &#8218;grapers&#8216; more attention. Along with Boris he unearthed quite some belters already. Now two new old Cognacs await us. Here are my 2p on them:</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cognac Grosperrin No. 71 Heritage 1971 &#8211; 2021 &#8211; for Flickenschild &#8211; Petite Champagne, 52,3%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-rotated-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10715" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-rotated-1-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-rotated-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-rotated-1-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-rotated-1.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a>Comment: </strong>This was chosen as a Malternative at full proof &#8211; a Cognac for whisky drinkers that Guilhem Grosperrin inherited somehow (it was originally sold for two NGOs) and took care of it. Now it was bottled exclusively for Flickenschild / whizita.de. The story is on the bottle to read up on. Let&#8217;s taste it:</p>
<p>The oak is playing a role after 50 years, but it is well in check &#8211; malt heads will enjoy this (vanilla, pepper). Floral elements (lilac, lavender, violets, roses, mint, lemon verbena, flowerpot) meet glazed lemon cake (Amerikaner), white chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beeswax, tobacco&#8230; more and more aromas emerge, it needs time to unfold. Then nutty rancio joins in and many (dried) fruits like apricots, lemons, limes, orange skin, wild strawberries, mirabelles, lychees and gooseberries. Complex and balanced, the alcohol is well-integrated.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-1-rotated-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-10717" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-1-rotated-1-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="156" height="208" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-1-rotated-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-1-rotated-1-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GR1971-CognacGrosperrin1971-1-rotated-1.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 156px) 100vw, 156px" /></a>On the palate sweet and sour elements battle like in a familiar westernized Chinese duck recipe. All in all, it is darker now. Raisins, figs, dried apricots, nuts, lemony tastes and waxy maturity make their presence felt.</p>
<p>The finish takes you on a journey through all the stages from before, very exciting and long.</p>

And these crus really combine into a super power. A dream of a Cognac, which wasn&#8217;t to be expected from its sheer stats &#8211; such stuff usually vanishes in the blends of big houses. With this example you can discover how great this alternative way can be, I am so glad it was bottled this way &#8211; read why:</p>
<p>Enticingly sweet, nutty and leathery start, a tightly-knit and balanced potpourri of darker elegance. A fist inside a velvet glove. Juicy, balsamic complexity, quite some rancio, soaked spice cake, cherries, dates, maracuja, kiwi, cristallized orange, marzipan, macadamia, nutty pastry (Nusshörnchen), chocolate, vanilla, juniper berries, tobacco, humidor. Crazy!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/pasquet.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-10722" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/pasquet-152x300.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="251" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/pasquet-152x300.jpg 152w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/pasquet-76x150.jpg 76w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/pasquet.jpg 485w" sizes="(max-width: 127px) 100vw, 127px" /></a>It tastes as good as it noses, more berries like cassis chime in into the complex mix, even black truffles can be found. And it swims well, try water too, just amazing. This is truly a legendary cognac.</p>
<p>The crescendo leaves you crying for more of this awesome grape juice. Amazing pick! With each tasting session you love it more as it has a drinkability despite its power. Don&#8217;t buy, leave more for me <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> !</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quite a joint bottling effort, these two wonderfully-labelled Caroni releases. Wu-Dram Clan, Shinanoya, and KFWS unearthed these casks for us. Such highly sought-after rums from this closed distillery in full strength are nothing for the faint-hearted &#8211; but we like it dirty, so let&#8217;s dive into a head-to-head Voodoo session.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-1998.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10683" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-1998-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-1998-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-1998-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-1998.jpg 720w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a>Before I differenciate, <strong>both have the Caroni funk and typical traits for these years:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Common notes of both:</strong></span> Jungle undergrowth, banana skin, camphor, ointment (Ichthyol), iodine, resin, sanitary napkin, tar, scented tobacco, fresh mint, rose stems and vanilla &#8211; all in all a heavy load, almost overburdening the palate. Let&#8217;s go from crazy to nuts:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>CARONI 1998 &#8211; 2021 Single Cask Trinidad Rum, Cask #2109, 226 btl., 62,2%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1998-Shinanoya-Kyoto-Duckhammer-Kingdom.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10685" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1998-Shinanoya-Kyoto-Duckhammer-Kingdom-211x300.jpg" alt="" width="211" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1998-Shinanoya-Kyoto-Duckhammer-Kingdom-211x300.jpg 211w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1998-Shinanoya-Kyoto-Duckhammer-Kingdom-105x150.jpg 105w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1998-Shinanoya-Kyoto-Duckhammer-Kingdom.jpg 674w" sizes="(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px" /></a>Comment:</strong> This is the rounder and fruitier one with berries, more accessible and not as dry as its partner &#8211; aetherial clouds of aromas somehow. Along the notes above I am getting a deep and spicy impression, huge complexity. Berries, dragonfruit, babana, plum, orange zest, rum-raisin ice cream (Malaga), leather, bitumen, jute sack filled with coffee beans, cinnamon chewing gum, ski waxing workshop, glue, cedar wood, forest floor, mulled Christmas wine (nutmeg, clover, cinnamon, ginger, red wine, etc.), daisies, poppy seed pastry with sugar icing (&#8218;Mohnschnecke&#8216;), new car oil and what not &#8211; a crazy ride. It is intense yet balanced, spicy and fruity on the palate, water straightens it out and pushes the berries and tropical fruit center stage, but it can be enjoyed pure as well. The finish is long and soothing. However, we are talking heavy duty here over all.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>CARONI 1997 &#8211; 2021 Single Cask Trinidad Rum, Cask #59, 224 btl., 60,6%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-Kyoto-Shinanoya-Duckhammer.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10684" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-Kyoto-Shinanoya-Duckhammer-215x300.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-Kyoto-Shinanoya-Duckhammer-215x300.jpg 215w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-Kyoto-Shinanoya-Duckhammer-107x150.jpg 107w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Caroni-1997-Kyoto-Shinanoya-Duckhammer.jpg 618w" sizes="(max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px" /></a>Comment:</strong> This is the spicier, drier and dirtier one, it bites like a jungle viper &#8211; no prisoners taken. Tar, licorice, old oil, resin, olive tapenade, hot mulch from jungle wood, rotten banana skin, nutmeg, pepper, chili, burnt caramel, cocoa, juniper berries, painted pine cone and quite some wood influence. A Voodoo Monster that will split the audience. The palate is a full-on attack, peppery spices and woody dryness bite with adstringency, then relief, wow, dryness gone suddenly. Banana, oak and undergrowth are dominant. I recommend water for this one, as it levels out the aggression and allows the subtle berries and fruit to be discovered &#8211; but it also depends on your daily shape. On some days, pure is fine &#8211; a great one either way. Somewhat brutal but complex, and therefore, very entertaining. Muscle rum, looong finish!</p>
<p><strong>Score 90</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>So choose which style you prefer &#8211; or get both. Stellar rum that won&#8217;t become cheaper and gets rarer by the day. WU!</strong></p>

<p><strong>Nein</strong>, der Whisky geht uns nicht aus (nächstes Jahr kommt der von vielen Vortastern heiß erwartete Sherry-Laphroaig mit sehr alten Anteilen, 2027 ist auch auf bestem Wege), doch als wir dieses heute zu reservierende Material gefunden hatten, gab es kein Zurück, <strong>das müssen die slowdrinker haben</strong>.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Cuvée uralter Cognacs, Armagnacs und Brandys (Anteile bis 1880), um die Vorzüge jeder Variante herauszustellen und die Nachteile herauszublenden (Essence of the Grape)</strong></li>
<li><strong>durchschnittliches Alter 35 bis 50 Jahre (</strong>reine Fassreife, unaufdringlich-integrativ<strong>, irrer Fassmix: </strong>in<strong> alten Spitzenfässern</strong> vom Typus <strong>Limousin-Eiche, ex-Rioja American Oak </strong>und<strong> refill-Guyana-Rum</strong> über lange Zeiträume, keine &#8218;pressure-cookers&#8216; &#8211; complex finesse nach unserem<strong> &#8218;old wood&#8216;-Prinzip)</strong></li>
<li><strong>Premiere: dreijährige Nachreifung im Laphroaig-Fass (Kilbride Killer), welches ganz dezent und harmonisch große Tiefe und eine erdig-feurige Komplexitätsschicht addierte</strong></li>
<li>erinnert in Momenten an einen<strong> 60-jährigen Cuba-Rum, </strong>der dann zu einem<strong> 1950er Sherry-Macallan </strong>changiert, dann knallt das<strong> nussig-marzipanige Rancio der historischen Brandies </strong>rein,<strong> runder geht&#8217;s nicht, </strong>wie ein<strong> Rum-Nuss-Gebäck mit einem alten Portwein auf Islay</strong></li>
<li><strong>Zitate aus berufenen Mündern: &#8222;Umami-Bomber!&#8220;, &#8222;spielt in vielen Geschmacks-Camps&#8220;, &#8222;so noch nie da gewesen&#8220;, &#8222;süffig und süchtig machende Verführung mit Islay- und Karibik-Reminiszenzen&#8220;, &#8222;kein zu blumiger Cognac, kein zu trockener Armagnac, kein zu süßer Brandy, sondern eine edelreife Essenz der Traube&#8220;</strong></li>
<li><strong>Cask Strength (wird ca.  bei 47.2% liegen), ungefärbt und ungefiltert, geheimnisvoll dunkel funkelnd</strong></li>
<li><strong>private Clubabfüllung in 0,7l-Flasche, nur 148.- Euro, reiner Selbstkostenpreis (haut in diesem Preissegment wohl alles weg!)</strong></li>
<li><strong>Versand 10./11. November 2025 &#8211; ideales Weihnachtsgeschenk!)</strong></li>

<p>P.S.: <strong>Emotional ist das Label auch etwas Besonderes:</strong> Pits <strong>Tochter Laura</strong> hat das Etikettenbild mit Reblaus liebevoll gemalt, nachdem Ihre Schwester den Vorgänger gestalten durfte. Und <strong>unser lieber Winni</strong>, der mit Pit für alle vorhergegangenen Clublabels verantwortlich war, hat sich trotz schwerster Krankheit noch einmal aufgerafft, beim &#8218;Essence of the Grape 2025&#8216;  mitzuhelfen. <strong>Echter slowdrink-Spirit &#8211; we&#8217;re Family!</strong></p>

<h3><span style="color: #d13030;"><strong>TASTING NOTE UND VISION:</strong></span></h3>
<p>Der Essence of the Grape 2025 ist eine <strong>Malternative der Extraklasse</strong>. <strong>Wer Sherry-Bottlings, alten Rum und vor allem edle Cognacs oder Armagnacs hohen Alters liebt, wird diese Abfüllung feiern &#8211; und auch die Islay-Fans finden Ihr Eldorado</strong>. Der Essence ist sowohl ein <strong>&#8218;Everbody&#8217;s Darling&#8216;</strong>, weist aber auch <strong>viel Komplexität</strong> für den zweiten und dritten Blick auf: Eine Kathedrale eines gelungenen Experiments, die vom Experten bis hin zum Laien jeden <strong>verzaubert</strong> zurücklässt!</p>

<p>Unglaublich harmonisch und weich fügen sich die Einzelteile zu einer <strong>undurchdringlichen Geschmackskugel</strong> zusammen, die langsam immer weitere Schichten freilegt. Man reist <strong>von der Charente und dem Bas-Armagnac bis nach Islay, und das mit einem Umweg in die Karibik!</strong> Sehr spannend und noch dazu lehrreich, da man merken kann, wie sich sehr alte Destillate geschmacklich annähern.</p>
<p>Das Ganze ist edler und trockener als Brandys oder der Vorgänger, aber kein superdry Armagnac-style, sondern <strong>genau &#8218;on the spot&#8216;</strong>, geradezu<strong> saftig (Umami pur)</strong>, <strong>weich, aber mit genug Druck!</strong> Einfach <strong>in der Mitte</strong> der Glückseligkeit für <strong>optimale Trinkfreude, die Dich verleitet, nachzufassen</strong>.</p>

Man findet alles, in Balance, <strong>nichts drängt sich vor</strong>. Der Essence ist<strong> sein ganz eigenes Ding</strong>, und somit eine <strong>Weltpremiere</strong> flüssiger Art.</p>

Poliert, rund, endlos, perfekt. The Essence of the Grape! Geistesgestört!</strong></p>

<h3><strong><span style="color: #d13030;">Ein paar Regeln, um deren Beachtung wir Euch bitten wollen &#8211; danke:</span></strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>nur Founder und Heroes können jetzt bestellen</strong></li>
<li>maximale Bestellmenge entsprechend Eurer Founderklasse beachten (wir überprüfen das) – unser Ziel: alle hier sollten etwas bekommen &#8211; gern informieren wir Euch, wenn noch was da sein sollte</li>
<li><strong>bestellt im Rahmen Eures Fördermodells aber gern diese maximale Menge</strong>; falls die Flaschen nicht reichen würden, können wir immer noch zuteilen (meist reicht es nicht ganz) &#8211; keine falsche Bescheidenheit</li>
<li><strong>neue</strong> Topfounder (1000+ Mighty Master Blender / <strong>erst 2024 und danach</strong> dazugekommen) dürfen bei Wunsch die &#8222;signierte&#8220; Flasche mitordern (kommt sonst nicht mit)</li>
<li>tatsächliche Lieferadresse angeben</li>
<li><strong>finale Zuteilungsmail</strong> mit Zahlungsinfo folgt <strong>erst in zwei bis drei Wochen nach Fristablauf</strong> – bitte nicht vorab nachfragen, wir sind dran</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s start with a longer introduction this time &#8211; skip if in a hurry <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> : Now that good whisky is becoming a luxury item and many drinkers feel like getting priced out of the market, people need to look for so-called malternatives. Besides R(h)um, Brandy in all its forms is a great category to go. Consequently, more and more independent bottlers release high quality Cognac, Armagnac and more. As so often, the corporation-owned big players miss the train and the category as such is just waking up from a long sleep &#8211; tradition as a double-edged sword sometimes … . But the big brands will profit from a rise in interest as well.</p>

Slowdrink has always been focused on being open for various drink categories. We have released Brandy many years ago, I met with great producers to learn, educated people in tastings and at fairs about it and I blend products and judge &#8218;grape juice&#8216; in competitions. So finally our enthusiasm is catching on. Therefore, I forgive the lack of experience and knowledge of some newbies in this huge and difficult field for the love of many new Cognac and Brandy lovers who come from the whisky world and expect equally high standards of quality and transparency. This helps Brandy too … and it helps whisky people develop finer sensoric skills because Cognac and its brothers are way harder to differenciate.</p>
<p>The grape distillers did many things long before whisky producers did, and many Scotch and Irish techniques originate in France and Spain as Cognac was the main noble spirit of the world back then and for so many years &#8211; phylloxera helped other fine spirits become visible but Cognac stayed king way into the 1980s. Nowadays it lost some track in Europe, but this is about to change &#8211; if the Charente learned from mistakes and can adapt. I also see a rise in quality in Grappa, another very exciting drink distilled from pomace.</p>
<p>Cadenhead, LMDW, SMWS, Maltbarn, WhiskySponge and others have started to release single cask Cognac and Armagnac recently, some great, others atypical. Woody and fruity brandies like those of Vallein Tercinier become sought after because they can offer what only very expensive old Malt Whiskies render in terms of matured esters (e.g. Bowmore fruit and berries) despite not being typical. The departing from burdening tradition has negative sides to it but I like the general development to a large extent and wish that a broader variety of producers and crus will follow soon. We will also release something again in the future. Stay tuned!</p>
<p>Come to a tasting and learn more, e.g. rancio, boise, prune juice faking, wine choice and crus, oak differences etc. &#8211; Brandy is awesome and historical.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our friends at Wu Dram Clan joined the crowd recently and have released a very old VT from a single cask from the renowned cru of Grand Champagne. I feel confident to test-drive this baby now:</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/vallein-tercinier-53-wu-dram-label.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10570" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/vallein-tercinier-53-wu-dram-label-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/vallein-tercinier-53-wu-dram-label-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/vallein-tercinier-53-wu-dram-label-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/vallein-tercinier-53-wu-dram-label.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Comment:</strong> What makes older VT great is the immense complexity. We have it here too. A mix of spicy (cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, pepper from wood, oriental spices), fruity (crystallized fruits like apricots, plums, figs, sour cherries, apple rings and berries), floral (violets, lilac, elderflower, marigold, daisies), bitter (lemon and orange peel, Italian apero bitters) and sweet elements (white donut, sugar-coated pineapple, marzipan, marshmallow) in fine harmony boggles the mind. What a spirit, so vivid yet mature! Little to no rancio. It is slightly on the woody (hey, it is 53 years old!) and floral side on the palate at first, then the big wave of aromas follows suit. It lands so softly and mildly, more berries and cassis notes emerge. As a single cask, it has atypical and exciting moments. In comparison, the VT Hors d&#8217;Age is darker, rounder and sports quite some rancio, this version is spicier, drier and more complex, a wilder ride all in all. Hold on tight, it is a world-class Cognac that will blow you off the rocker if you like it wild and challenging!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As so many events and festivals had to give way to Covid-19-shutdowns and mitigation efforts, the Limburg Whisky Fair was no exception. However, we don&#8217;t have to miss out on TWA bottlings which were just released. Thank you for providing me with a preview. I am impressed with the general quality again &#8211; and glad this is no color-obsessed release. Let&#8217;s taste the details in brief fashion as these probably fly off the shelves (quick tasting &#8211; done twice &#8211; no pictures of bottles out yet):</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cognac 49 y.o. &#8218;Petite Champagne&#8216; 1970 &#8211; 2019, barrel, 49,2%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> We don&#8217;t know the producing house but I have a hunch. It is very well-balanced, and no overboarding wood disturbs the pleasure full of nuts, plums, pineapple skin, tobacco smoke, Oyster Sauce, flowers, Asian spices, fruit cake with dried and caramellized fruits. Medium rancio though, this is more on subtleties on the lighter side &#8211; it unfolds lik an onion, give it time..it gradually becomes darker in character. medium-long finish. A high class Cognac, very typical. Not a 1960s-Bowmore-esque Berry Bomber, though (if you search for that unsusual profile).</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89 &#8211; 90</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Irish Single Malt 29 y.o., 1990 &#8211; 2019, barrel, 48,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> When Irish Malts become this old, they become rare and expensive. Also did the load of older Emeralds dry recently, so this is really cool. This dram is still malty and has some wood spice to counter enormous tropical fruitiness, berries and lemongrass. Creamy, milky too, somehow: pineapple-vanilla milkshake, anyone? On the palate it plays out its strength the most: Mangos meet berries and blackcurrant. Yeah. I am a sucker for uber-fruitiness. Medium-length finish. Maybe not the best Irish from these years but certainly a great one. Got me a bottle&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Irish Single Malt 21 y.o., 1998 &#8211; 2019, barrel, 51,3%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> A good age when usually fruitiness explodes in Irish drams. Is this in its prime yet? Yes. Wow, I like it. Bushmills 21, but more naked. Fresh and fruity, berries, vanilla, blackcurrant. All the way well-balanced, icecream topping quality. Absolutely typical, recommendation.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 90 &#8211; 91</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Irish Single Malt 16 y.o., 2003 &#8211; 2019, barrel, 51,9%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> How does the youngest Irish contender hold its own? It is a nice example of a grassy and lemony version, discrete oak influence (spice), coconut too. Creamy, fruity, smooth, honest. Pistacchio. A good dram.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 88</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Littlemill 27 y.o., 1992 &#8211; 2020, hogshead, 52,3%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Thyme on roasted lamb, other Mediterranean herbs, pineapples, apple juice, Pak Choi, vanilla pod, pine cone, traces of Bourbon. Fragile and elegant all the way.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Secret Highland 34 y.o.,  1985 &#8211; 2019, hogshead, 47,0%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> I like the pink grapefruit in this (hint &#8211; hint), nice old profile with big fruitiness and no offnote, fresh too, so spirit driven. Mangos, berries, blackcurrant, pineapple, maracuja and what not. Is there a smoked pink grapefruit? It would taste like this. Who needs distillery names <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><strong>Score: 91+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Arran 17 y.o.,  2002 &#8211; 2020, Barrel, 49,2%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Spices on apples and pineapples, coconut, cappuccino froth, vanilla, peaches, Tarte Tatin, honey, pear cider, rosemary, Marshmallows, ozone, mossy brine. A fine Arran.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 88+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ben Nevis 23 y.o., 1996 &#8211; 2020, hogshead, 47,6%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Lychee sweetness, peaches, mango, herbs, roses, Alpine cheese, vanilla, apple crumble, sugar-coated nuts, honeyed malt, sandalwood candle, almost no wood. Amazing Ben Nevis from a great vintage for this distillery, fruitier than usual. Wow. This is en par with the Maltbarn release from last year which I adore as well.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 92</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ledaig 25 y.o., 1995 &#8211; 2020, hogshead, 48,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment</strong>: Quite an aged Mull malt, rare indeed. The peat is secondary here, broken down into coastal aromas now. Malty, chalky, mineral, salty, briny. Air-dried ham, kiwi, peaches, melon, Atlantic seabreeze, wool, windswept sheep shack wood (sorry :)), leather, pepper. A pan of scallops deglazed with Vermouth and whisky. Aaah, this grows on you with every sip.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89+</strong></p>

<p>I like it when things are done correctly, thoughtfully, nerdy. Such is the case with the freshly launched rum importer &#8218;Rum-Exchange&#8216; run by Andreas Isopp. Our friend Andreas does source real rums and bottles them at cask strength without any additives &#8211; all that with full transparency, partly even informing on the place of maturation  (tropical &gt; continental). Some of his rums even undergo finishing in Sherry casks. As a side note, the bottles really look cool. Now let&#8217;s review their taste, starting from early to latest release date:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>#001: Jamaica &#8211; Trelawny 5 y.o., 2013 &#8211; 2019 Oloroso Finish, 355 btl., 61,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Hampden.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10412" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Hampden-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Hampden-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Hampden-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Hampden-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Hampden-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Hampden.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Comment:</strong> This, of course, is a rum from Hampden Estate.  It aged in ex-Bourbon casks for three years, then it was transferred to Oloroso wood for the remaining period of aging. Usually I am sceptical of Sherry finishes in rum, but with a funky and dry ester-monster, it might just add nice dimension. And exactly this happened. The sweet Jerez wine compements and fits like a glove, it polishes not too much of the exotic spiciness and leaves brighter fruitiness alive. Really exciting! One of the finest rums in the last months, I have to admit. I am getting leather, snus tobacco, many spices, very mature tropical fruit, citrusy elements, multi-vitamin-juice that is starting to ferment, resin, tar, and: pressed sour cherries. All these aromas are well-integrated and play with each other peacefully: earthy funk meets sweetness and leaves you craving another sip to grasp this complexity. What a great first release!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>#002: Jamaica &#8211; St. Catherine 5 y.o., 2013 &#8211; 2019, Ruby Port Finish, 350 btl., 59%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Worthy-Park.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10417" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Worthy-Park-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Worthy-Park-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Worthy-Park-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Worthy-Park-768x1024.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a>Comment:</strong> Same idea as above, yet a different sweet wine and distillate from Worthy Park, which I usually adore. However, this one worked out only ok, not great. Port finishing is difficult though. This rum aged four years in tropical climate (Bourbon cask) before it was &#8218;deported&#8216; (forgive this pun) &#8211; one year Port finish in continental climate left its marks: the distillate is tamed (some mnight love that), for me a tad too much. It is tightly-knit and oozes raisins and various kinds of berries, Jamaica reggaes on in the background only (aromas of an empty leather bag of weed, dark wooden pipes, orange and lemon zests, maybe even Usain Bolt&#8217;s rubber running shoes <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> On the palate the aromas still battle, tensions can be felt. The wood influence is a bit doctored, but I think this rum has many friends who are into cask-driven whisky and rum. Junkies of typicality might dislike it. Anyway, a very interesting and tasty learning experience (Jamaica vs. Port).</p>
<p><strong>Score: 86</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>#003: Belize &#8211; Traveller&#8217;s Distillery 10 y.o., 2019 &#8211; 2019, ex-Bourbon (tropical aging), 300 btl., 60,8%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Belize.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10411" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Belize-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Belize-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Belize-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Belize-768x1024.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a>Comment:</strong> Traveller&#8217;s Distillery struck me as a great source for naturally sweeter rums (Middle American style) with some weight to them, something for the sweet teeth ready to step up a notch on the ladder of quality. And this release lends itself perfectly for converting people to real rum. A very mature nose with ample oak hits the nostrils like a pastry, more in a style of old Domenican Republic releases at first, but then it shows its home Belize in clearer ways: Vanilla, caramel, fat nutty oils (Macadamia, almonds, coconut) and cedar wood rule over lime blossom, honey, cinnamon and cream. Spicy elemenst chime in (chili, resin, kurkuma) to set a counterpart. The palate is more elegant than you would expect from such a baroque nose, this rum is never cloying yet sweet n&#8216; oily &#8211; roasted sugarcoated nut heaven which lingers on quite a while. The wood spices balance the sweetness here. A maelstrom of sheer goodness if this style is yours.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>#004: Guyana &#8211; Port Mourant 11 y.o., 2008 &#8211; 2019, 250 btl., 58,3%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/PM.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10416" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/PM-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/PM-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/PM-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/PM-768x1024.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a>Comment:</strong> PM, my favourite mark. And it is a brighter version of demerara juice which gives me great hopes for an excellent spirit-driven experience. YES! So typical of Port Mourant, which I consider as one of the finest distillates around. Sorry, but wow: I succumb to this great complexity and balance in such a powerhouse. Wet humidor, olives, band aids with iodine, grilled Sunmaid raisins, snus and Virginia tobacco, bruised dates, tar … for a start. Then mentholated sweet drops (&#8222;Eisbonbon&#8220;), prunes, warm mulch, polished magogani, Romeo y Julietta cigars (unlit), leather, vanilla, licorice, pine cones, pepper and diesel come to the fore. A carousel of crazy aromas, so wonderfully awkward yet fitting together perfectly. A full-score nose! On the palate it is less wild,  sweeter than expected and very balanced. It shows high drinkability and Finesse, an exciting rum. If only it had not been tamed this would be the T-Rex. An absolute recommendation at this price below 90 Euro!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91-</strong></p>

Thanks for the advance sample, Andreas! So we Keep this shorter: you can expect a great natural rum again, very balanced and soft for its make. This Foursquare is fresh and displays lemon balm, coconut, vanilla, green tea, herbs, chewing gum, mulch, cedar, soft smoke, olives, licorice, cinnamon, kurkuma and peppers. Something for everyone, also for hotter days. Elegant Barbados.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 88</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We would like to wish Andreas Isopp the best of luck in the business and hope to get more of such fine rums! Maybe we even team up for evil elixirs in the future <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Reward his efforts, get ya&#8216; some!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sommerzeit ist gern auch mal Ginzeit, und diesen von Arthur Nägele kreierten Schweizer habe ich mir in die Berge mitgenommen. Das Design von Packung und Flasche gefällt mir sehr gut, und auch die Unterstützung von Ski-Ass Marco Büchel wird dem aus Jungfrauenjoch-Gletscherwasser in Liechtenstein hergestellten Alpenstoff nicht schaden. Doch all das ist Marketing, mal sehen, was er bei einem Preis von ca. 50 Euro kann.</p>
<p>Die Geschmacksbeschreibung und die Botanicals sollen an eine Bergwiese im Sommer erinnern (Arnika, Silberdistel, Frauenmantel, Bergkräuter). Als Kind der Alpen kenne ich diese Gerüche … bin gespannt:</p>
<p><strong>Beschreibung:<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-1.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9042" alt="Alpinist 1" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-1-209x300.png" width="209" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-1-209x300.png 209w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-1-104x150.png 104w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-1.png 458w" sizes="(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px" /></a></strong> Ohne die guten Notes des Herstellers kopieren zu wollen stimme ich in großen Teilen zu. Ein insgesamt klassischer Dry Gin, jedoch mit viel „Terroir“. Die deutlichsten Aromen sind tatsächlich Bergwiese (warmes Heu, Trockenblumen, Almblüte) und Limette, dazu etwas Bergamotte, Salbei, Pfeffer und Honig. Der Wacholder spielt zurückhaltend im Hintergrund, helle Geruchsfarben prägen das Bild. Am Gaumen ist der Gin eher leicht süßlich und sehr weich, mild-wärmend mit dezenter Würze. Orange Limette, Kamille, Wacholder, Rosmarin, Almwiese, die ganze Heidi in akzeptabler Balance. Den vom Hersteller als mächtig bezeichneten Nachklang ist eher von mittlerer Länge und sehr rund, es klingt warmes Bergheu und Wacholder in feinen Wellen an. Insgesamt gutes Mittelfeld mit Bonuspunkten<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-glacier-water.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-9043" alt="Alpinist glacier water" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-glacier-water-150x84.jpg" width="176" height="99" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-glacier-water-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Alpinist-glacier-water.jpg 270w" sizes="(max-width: 176px) 100vw, 176px" /></a> für Originalität und Regionalität, das Thema ist top umgesetzt. Wer es weich und alpin liebt, ist hier genau richtig. Mir fehlt etwas Druck und Balance am Gaumen, doch das ist immer Geschmackssache. Ein spannendes Produkt ist dieser Eidgenosse auf jeden Fall. Probieren!</p>
<p><strong>Bewertung: 86</strong></p>

<p>D<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Girvan-Whisky-Fässle.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-8790" alt="Girvan Whisky-Fässle" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Girvan-Whisky-Fässle-100x150.jpg" width="100" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Girvan-Whisky-Fässle-100x150.jpg 100w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Girvan-Whisky-Fässle-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Girvan-Whisky-Fässle.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a>inosaur! Typical of such old grains, it changes between the categories of rum, bourbon and scotch all the time, rollercoaster. What a deep nose, like the finest rum aged for over 30 years in Caribbean climate. However, the vodka-esque graininess is still there as well as vanilla and caramel. Green tea, muscovado sweetness and ripe tropical fruits, coconut oil, spinach, undergrowth and bublegum. The oak and spicy elements never overwhelm, this is still somewhat spirit-driven after all these years. A must-have for maltsters and rumheads alike. <strong>91</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Fine Blended Malt of various very old vintages for Whisky-Fässle, bottled 2016, Sherry Butt, 45,2%</strong></span></p>
<p>T<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blended-very-old-Whisky-Fässle1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-8795" alt="Blended very old Whisky Fässle" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blended-very-old-Whisky-Fässle1-100x150.jpg" width="100" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blended-very-old-Whisky-Fässle1-100x150.jpg 100w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blended-very-old-Whisky-Fässle1-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blended-very-old-Whisky-Fässle1.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a>he nose reveals canned milk, ginger bread, very Speysidey in its esters, vanilla, green tea, and mostly: plum cake with cinnamon and whipped cream on top (Zwetschgendatschi)! Then nettles. It becomes dusty with old-style class in moments, some sherry rounds it off discretly. The palate is so well organized, very classy again and totally my style. Some won’t get this eöegance, but if you are into old drams that are not overloaded with primary aromas, this is your choice – and mine. Balance king, no offnote, dangerously drinkable. LOVE it. Great price-performance ratio – Jens, you Swabian wizard of quality. <strong>91</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Glenrothes 19 y.o. Whisky-Fässle 1997 &#8211; 2016, Sherry Butt, 51,8%</strong></span></p>
<p>W<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Glenrothes-Whisky-Fässle.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-8797" alt="Glenrothes Whisky-Fässle" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Glenrothes-Whisky-Fässle-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Glenrothes-Whisky-Fässle-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Glenrothes-Whisky-Fässle-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Glenrothes-Whisky-Fässle.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>onderful resistance of the great Glenrothes distillery character (a favourite of blend masters) that stands up to heaviest sherry fire. Like a Glendronach in moments, but juicier. Dark fruits (but not only raisins like with treated cask aromas), ginger bread hearts with cherry jam filling, jaffa cake (orange meets chocolate on a sponge cake), geranium flowerpot earth with some petals, morello marvel. The palate is a good combination of bone dry vs. juicy sherry, the dry character wins in the end. A really nice sherry monster with some distillery character preserved. <strong>90+</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Barbancourt 12 y.o. Whisky-Fässle 2004 &#8211; 2016, Bourbon Barrel, 51,9% (Rhum from Haiti)</strong></span></p>
<p>V<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Barbancourt-Whisky-Fässle.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-8798" alt="Barbancourt Whisky-Fässle" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Barbancourt-Whisky-Fässle-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Barbancourt-Whisky-Fässle-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Barbancourt-Whisky-Fässle-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Barbancourt-Whisky-Fässle.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>ery much like the 15 y.o. original version (which is adorable and helps many good people in Haiti to survive), but with more depth and power. However, the bourbon wood is louder than I would have liked it (vanilla),  but some are exactly looking for that. Very soft, balanced and slightly earty &#8211; plus licorice. This Haitian Agricole is an interesting alternative to Martinique or Guadeloupe. Try it. <strong>89</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Epris 17 y.o. Whisky-Fässle 1999 &#8211; 2016, Barrel, 45,6% (Rum from Brazil)</strong></span></p>

It tastes almost like a spiced rum, really funky stuff on the freestyle edge, you have to like this, but it has personality. The finish has menthol, rotten oranges, and many weird but somehow interesting elements. It grows on you if you are open to new styles. <strong>87</strong>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In letzter Zeit erfreuen sich unsere Verkostungen auch bei oben genannten Feiern großer Beliebtheit. Ganz nach Ihren Wünschen stellen wir Ihnen die Welt der Edelspirits auf<span id="more-6648"></span> lockere Art vor.</p>
<p>Die letzten Feiern nahmen sich entweder ein Thema (Whisky, Craft Beer, Rum, Cognac/Brandy, Wein, begleitende Speisen, etc.) in seiner ganzen Tiefe vor oder mischten, damit für alle Teilnehmer etwas dabei war. Diese durchweg sehr schönen Abende waren stets kurzweilig, lustig und brachten unserer Sache wiedereinige neue Interessenten. Dabei arbeiten wir non-profit.</p>
<p>Vielleicht ist so ein Event mit Niveau und edutainment auch etwas für Ihren Anlass &#8211; sprechen Sie mit uns (auch die Dauer und die Location wären flexibel, evtl. auch im Whiskymuseum, einer privaten Bar oder der Kochschule). Es moderiert immer ein Experte, der mit Herzblut in seinem Feld unterwegs ist und besondere Tropfen kredenzt, die Sie begeistern werden.</p>
<p>Hier ein paar Impressionen:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our friend Jens Unterweger allowed me to sample his latest releases. This really nice, knowledgeable and &#8218;down to earth&#8216; guy has had a good hand in choosing amazing<span id="more-7267"></span> casks in the past. But the hunt for treasures is getting harder. Let&#8217;s see if he stole the show again.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/racist-duck.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-7276" alt="racist duck" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/racist-duck.jpg" width="375" height="335" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/racist-duck.jpg 450w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/racist-duck-150x134.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/racist-duck-300x268.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px" /></a>Burnside 24 y.o. Whisky-Fässle 1989 &#8211; 2014, Hogshead, 51,1%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> This one noses like a Riesling Auslese from the Mosel area. Overall, there is minerality and a fruity sourness with grapefruit, passion fruit, pineapple, peaches and citrus-like aromas (tangerine), all this in good maturity (dextrose starting to unfold). Traces of coconuts, almonds and balancing spice (chili, white pepper) complete the nose. It tastes like the nose, very round, then it adds floral compounds and malt. The finish is long on vanilla and lovely fruit, only the oak leaves a little woody bitterness I could do without &#8211; but that is the only &#8218;flaw&#8216;, so to speak, and maybe a personal thing.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89+</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Riesenente.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-7279" alt="Riesenente" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Riesenente-768x1024.jpg" width="381" height="625" /></a>Littlemill 23 y.o. Whisky-Fässle 1990 &#8211; 2014, Hogshead, 51,2%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Many bloggers embraced this already legendary Littlemill and scored high &#8211; I can follow, wow, what a dram, although it isn&#8217;t above many other killers from there, it is right on spot with them. Littlemill is amazing. I keep this shorter: grapefruit, lime, lemon, aprcot jam, gooseberry, wine gum, green tea, marzipan and almonds, cake glace and what not, accompanied by big vanilla, creme brulee, white chocolate and a hint of oak, all in great balance. A must-have for Littlemill fans.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Irish Malt 10 y.o. Whisky-Fässle 2003 &#8211; 2014, Hogshead, 49,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Not sure where this is from, Jens doesn&#8217;t know either, he said. Let&#8217;s nose: A fruity, sour and grassy aroma with big toffee and fudge, tinned pears, Thai curry soup wine gums and Haribo peaches (sorry), lemons, gooseberries, elderflower, grass, hay, white pepper, oak and vanilla at first. Then pistacio, almonds, honeysuckle, apple juice and more. It has moments when it reminds me of &#8218;orange wine&#8216; (Sauvignon Blanc). It tastes just like that, nice.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 87</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/duck-leaving-behind.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-7284" alt="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/duck-leaving-behind.jpg" width="427" height="327" /></a>Ben Nevis 18 y.o. Whisky-Fässle 1996 &#8211; 2014, Hogshead, 50,8%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> I love Ben Nevis with its funky and unusual profile &#8211; and this one is really one of the best ones that were released in the recent past. It takes you along on a walk in the forest (pine needles, resin, earth, ferns, etc.) and adds various citrus fruits and grapefruit, curry, milk chocolate and a splendid acidity that balances everything to perfection. A fat Ben Nevis, gentle though. My recommendation!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 90+</strong> (on a personal level, maybe 91)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Tomatin 17 y.o. Whisky-Fässle 1997 &#8211; 2014, Hogshead, 48,3%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Somehow an old style Tomatin a la 5/10 y.o. from the 1970ies (I prefer the 5) with licorice, garden fruit pits, apples, white peach, pineapple, summer earth, leather and pepper plus the wonderful Tomatin maltiness. It continues to be a classic und old fashioned whisky in good balance.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89-</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rum-Ente-Duck-Tropical-Urlaub.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-7288 alignleft" alt="Rum Ente Duck Tropical Urlaub" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rum-Ente-Duck-Tropical-Urlaub-300x300.jpg" width="287" height="287" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rum-Ente-Duck-Tropical-Urlaub-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rum-Ente-Duck-Tropical-Urlaub-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rum-Ente-Duck-Tropical-Urlaub-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rum-Ente-Duck-Tropical-Urlaub.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px" /></a>Diamond Demerara Rum 10 y.o.  2003 &#8211; 2014, Barrel, 51,1%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Rum is on the rise and now in style more than years before, deservedly so. This Guyana specimen (I think it is Jens&#8216; second rum) has all the typical features of this still but lacks the power on the palate to be great. It is good though, a good starter for getting into heavier rums.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 85</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gin ist in, als Trend in aller Munde: ein noch nicht hinreichend definiertes Lifestyle-Produkt, teils aber auch mit langer Tradition, das<span id="more-7221"></span> gerne</p>
<p><div id="attachment_7245" style="width: 433px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09368.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7245" class="size-large wp-image-7245" alt="Ein buntes Panel trat an" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09368-1024x768.jpg" width="423" height="317" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09368-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09368-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09368-300x224.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7245" class="wp-caption-text">Ein buntes Panel trat an</p></div></p>
<p>(aber nicht immer) mit einer vogelwilden Marketing-Geschichte vertrieben wird&#8230; und eine Spirituose, an der viele Brenner nicht mehr vorbeikommen. So vielfältig wie die Stories der Vermarkter sind auch die Gins. Von tief, gelungen und geheimnisvoll komplex bis hin zu flach und seltsam reicht die Tragweite, trocken bis süß, so wie die Aufmachungen der Flaschen. Genossen als purer &#8217;sipping Gin&#8216; oder als Tonic-Partner, im Cocktail, etc. (wo sie völlig unterschiedlich abschneiden), das Feld ist weit. London Dry, Bavarian Dry, compound, distilled, aged, mit zahllosen Botanicals (auch hier ist sehr viel Spielraum, die Ansetzung, biologischer Anbau, die Anzahl, &#8230;), der Fantasie sind keine Grenzen gesetzt, doch gerade das macht Gin interessant, aber auch schwer vergleichbar in seiner weiten Kategorie. Wie beim Würzen in der Küche ist Vieles Geschmacksache, solange das Grundprodukt stimmt &#8211; das aus diversen Getreiden oder Kartoffeln bestehen kann. Also wie vergleichen? Wir entschieden uns für einheimische distilled Gins ohne Fassreife.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_7249" style="width: 435px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09361.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7249" class="size-large wp-image-7249" alt="Ein paar Gins der Verkostung" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09361-1024x768.jpg" width="425" height="318" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09361-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09361-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC09361-300x224.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7249" class="wp-caption-text">Ein paar Gins der Verkostung</p></div></p>
<p>Wir &#8211; das war ein Panel aus drei Brennern (Stefan Penninger, Gregor Schraml und Johannes Anleitner), zwei Bloggern/Verkostern (Initiator Philip Reim und meine Wenigkeit), Barleuten, Händlern und Endverbrauchern. Da wir alle aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln auf das Produkt schauen, war die Diskussion im Vorfeld höchst anregend und auf hohem Niveau. Das Feld wurde hinreichend geklärt und für Wohlgefühl sorgte unser Gastgeber Goose in der Wunderbar (Regensburg).</p>
<p>Die Gins wurden pur und in Ruhe verkostet und gelegentlich auch als Tonic oder Cocktail ausprobiert. Unglaublich waren die Unterscheide in dieser schon von uns auf einheimische distilled Gins eingegrenzte Kategorie. Auch die Geschichten um die Marken reichten von sympathisch nüchtern über historisch interessant (Schramls &#8218;Kaiser Hill 16&#8216; und Penningers &#8218;Granit Gin&#8216; und die Info vom ständigen Diebstahl des beigefügten Granit-Kühlsteins in Märkten) bis hin zu völligem Marketing-Bullshit (I Dream of Gini), der nur nach einer oder zwei Flaschen Genuss des eigenen Produktes entstanden sein konnte.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_7252" style="width: 345px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Gin-Botanicals.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-7252" class=" wp-image-7252" alt="Gin Botanicals" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Gin-Botanicals.jpg" width="335" height="223" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Gin-Botanicals.jpg 700w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Gin-Botanicals-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Gin-Botanicals-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-7252" class="wp-caption-text">&#8222;Botanicals&#8220; für Gin</p></div></p>
<p>Im Geschmack taten sich ebenfalls große Unterschiede auf- So schmeckte ein Gin so künstlich nach destilliertem Maoam und Gummibaum, ein anderer gab sogar Räucherfisch-Aromen von sich, wieder ein anderer zeigte klare Obstlernoten &#8211; doch das waren eher negative Ausreißer. Der Großteil bestand aus anständigen und gelungenen, ja auch originellen Produkten, die ihren berechtigten Platz im Markt haben. Mehr dazu, v.a. zu Schraml und Penninger folgt in einem eigenen Artikel. Denn diese beiden Brenner aus Ostbayern, bei denen die Ginproduktion bzw. zumindest die Benutzung von Botanicals seit ewigen Zeiten Tradition hat und nicht nur ein Aufspringen auf den Ginzug darstellt, fielen uns neben dem Horsetown Gin positiv auf &#8211; vielleicht auch, weil die Produzenten vor ort waren. Doch diese Regionalität, und Abgeklärtheit spiegelte sich in den Produkten, und während der Verkostung hielt uns nichts von neutraler Betrachtung ab. Interessanterweise waren wir uns größtenteils einig.</p>
<p>Meine <strong>persönliche Reihenfolge</strong> möchte ich Euch nicht vorenthalten (bei ein paar Gins nenne ich Auszüge meiner Tasting Notes, die ich alle irgendwann in Gänze poste):</p>
<p>1.<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> Horsetown Gin</strong></span> (Achtung: Batches variieren wegen Wechsel in Inhaltsstoffen und Produktionsarten) &#8211; toller Gin mit einem Hauch Beeren (Preiselbeeren), wenig Wacholder, dafür Zwetschgen, Marille, Orangenschale, Kamille, Fruchtbonbon, Majoran, fett und und ungefiltet, breit in Basis, weniger Kopfnoten, eigen. <strong>84 Punkte.</strong></p>
<p>und</p>
<p>1. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Windspiel Gin</strong></span> &#8211; trotz einer etwas eigenwilligen Marketinggeschichte ist dies ein richtig toller Gin, ein kräftiger Macho mit 47%, was nicht jeder mochte. Schöne Nase mit Wacholder, schwarzem Pfeffer, Zitrone, Tajine-Gerichte (Gewürzvielfalt) etc., der alkoholisch-säurelastige Antritt liefert kräftig ab, und auch Schokoladennoten sind nun dabei. <strong>84 Punkte.</strong></p>
<p>3. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Granit Gin (Penninger)</strong></span> &#8211; mild und doch aromatisch, klassisch angelegt, ein Hauch Gurke, Wurzeln, florale Töne, Zitronenabrieb, bunter Pfeffer, Gerbleder und Muskatnuss. Rundum angenehm. <strong>83 Punkte, </strong>ebenso<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> feel! Gin</strong></span> und <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The Duke Gin.</strong></span></p>
<p>6. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Kaiser Hill 16 (Schraml </strong><span style="color: #888888;">&#8211; sehr klassisch und einfach gut</span><strong>)</strong></span> und <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ferdinand&#8217;s Gin (Saar, </strong><span style="color: #888888;">traubig-weiblich, angenehm anders</span><strong>)</strong> </span>&#8211; <strong>81 Punkte.</strong></p>
<p>8. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Monkey 47 Gi</strong><strong>n</strong></span> &#8211; <strong>80 Punkte</strong>.</p>
<p>9. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Bavarka Gin</strong><span style="color: #888888;"> (mild, eigen, hopfig-harzig, Fichtenspitzen, Steckerlfisch, Zitrone, bayerisches Volksfest)</span></span> und <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Simon Gin</strong></span> (untypisch, eher Obstler, aber doch gut)</p>
<p>10. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Gin Sul </strong><span style="color: #888888;">(es fehlt zwar an Tiefe, doch er hat was: mild, weiblich, Orange und Bergamote, Sandelholz, Rosmarin, Vanille, etwas Zucker; er erinnert in Momenten an das Parfum &#8218;Fahrenheit&#8216; von Dior &#8211; noch solide)</span><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>11. <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Lyonel Gin</span></strong>, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Secret</strong> <strong>Treasures</strong><span style="color: #000000;"> (letzterer außer Konkurrenz, beide akzeptabel)</span></span></p>
<p>12. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Elephant Gin </strong><span style="color: #888888;">(etwas alkoholisch und undefiniert, es fehlt an Balance, sehr floral-parfümiert, Säure weißer Pfeffer, Zitrone &#8211; mit leichten Schwächen noch akzeptabel)</span><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>13. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>I Dream of Gini <span style="color: #888888;">&#8211;</span> </strong><span style="color: #888888;">pur sehr seltsam und abgeschlagen, aber witzig als Tonic</span><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wir haben in den Sommer verschoben &#8211; wer da nicht dabei ist, insbesondere zu diesem fairen Preis, dem ist nicht mehr zu helfen. Pit holt <strong>zehn</strong> seiner ganz besonderen Flaschen aus seiner Kollektion, um sie<span id="more-6391"></span> mit Euch zu teilen und ihren Hintergrund zu erklären.</p>
<p>Geniale Erlebnisse aus den Gebieten Whisky, Rum und Cognac, teils aus vergangenen Zeiten warten auf Euch. Unser Gastgeber Markus Ziegler wird wieder ein würdiges und wunderschönes Ambiente schaffen. Hier die Details, und dann schnell anmelden, die Plätze sind limitiert:</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Summer Jamboree &#8211; really special Whiskies, R(h)ums and Cognacs</strong></span></h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Zeit / Ort: Mittwoch, 28. Mai um 19:30 Uhr bei Ziegler &#8211; Feine Kost (Regensburg)</strong></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Kosten: 65.- Euro</strong></h4>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08903.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-large wp-image-6402" alt="DSC08903" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08903-1024x768.jpg" width="620" height="465" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08903-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08903-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08903-300x224.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>1) Cognac Otard X.O. 40% aus den 1970ern</strong> (bis zu 50-jährige Cognacs, beeindruckend, erzielt Höchstpreise)</p>
<p><strong>2) Brugal 1888 Ron Gran Reserva Familiar &#8211; Edicion Limitada 2013, 40%</strong> (exklusive Jahrgangsabfüllung des tradit. Hauses aus der Domenikanischen Republik, 14 jahre in Weißeiche gereift, Spitzenklasse im kubanischen Stil)</p>
<p><strong>3)<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08901.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6407" alt="DSC08901" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08901-300x224.jpg" width="300" height="224" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08901-300x224.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08901-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08901-1024x768.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a> Auchentoshan 11 y.o. Hepburn&#8217;s Choice 2001 &#8211; 2012, Single Cask Lowland Scotch Whisky, 46%</strong> (sehr weiche und cremige Einzelfassabfüllung aus den Lowlands, dreifach gebrannt, wie Creme Brulee und Obst)</p>
<p><strong>4) Glen Grant 25 y.o. Gordon &amp; Macphail, distilled in early 1960ies, Sherry Cask Single Speyside Malt (Scotland), 75cl, 40%</strong> (sehr alteund gereifte Rarität, die die Qualität alter Whiskys vor Augen führt und einen schwärmen lässt)</p>
<p><strong>5)<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08902.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6409" alt="DSC08902" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08902-300x224.jpg" width="300" height="224" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08902-300x224.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08902-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08902-1024x768.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a> Tomatin 34 y.o. Whisky-Doris 1976 &#8211; 2011, Single Cask (Sherry Hogshead No. 9), 139 btl., 49,5%</strong> (Vielleicht das Highlight, diese gesuchte Abfüllung aus den besten Jahren der Speyside-Brennerei in Monsterqualität rechtfertigt Ihren Preis jenseits der 300.- Euro durch Kraft, Cassis-Beeren-Aromatik und Weichheit bei endlosem Abgang &#8211; zu Recht ein Kultwhisky, den es nur 139 Mal gab!)</p>
<p><strong>6) Ron Cubata &#8218;Ocho&#8216; 8 y.o., Uruguay, 40%</strong> (Neuheit und für uns DER Budget-Rum aus frischen Bourbon-Fässern &#8211; wird Euch begeistern und die Konkurrenz schocken)</p>
<p><strong>7) Ron Centenario Fundacion 20 Anos &#8211; Seleccion Premium, Sistema Solera, Costa Rica, 40%</strong> (der beste Rum im Anden-Stil seiner Preisklasse, Kaffee, Rosinen, Karamell, Schokolade, Tabak und feine Würze umschmeicheln den Gaumen bei optimaler Reife &#8211; ganz großes Rum-Kino)</p>
<p><strong>8) <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08900.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6412" alt="DSC08900" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08900-300x224.jpg" width="300" height="224" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08900-300x224.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08900-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08900-1024x768.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Bowmore 17 y.o. A.D. Rattray for Germany 1991 &#8211; 2009, Islay Single Sherry Cask Whisky (Cask 2059), 340 btl., 58,1%</strong> (Die Whiskys von Bowmore aus diesen Jahren sind außergewöhnlich und sehr gefragt; diese Abfüllung heißt bei Afficionados &#8218;Die Dampflok&#8216; und begeistert durch Ihre Islay-Intesität, Torf, Sherry und Komplexität)</p>
<p><strong>9) Caol Ila 29 y.o. Signatory Vintage 1982 &#8211; 2012, Single Cask 6484, 263 btl., 56,3%</strong> (Caol Ila werden im hohen Alter extrem vielseitig und mineralisch, sie erinnern ein wenig an Port Ellen aus ähnlichen Jahren, jedoch weniger malzig, dafür mehr Olivenöl, Seeluft, Wacholder und Torfrauch)</p>
<p><strong>10) Smith &amp; Cross &#8218;Traditional Jamaica Rum (Pure Pot Still &#8211; Plummer &amp; Wedderburn &#8211; Navy Strength), 57%</strong> (Zum Abschluss ein High Ester Rum aus Jamaica, so etwas habt Ihr wahrscheinlich noch nicht getrunken, 300 Aromen, sauber, tropisch und auch dreckig im Wechsel, kreisen im Mund &#8211; echt krankes Zeug vom Feinsten)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08898.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-6405" alt="DSC08898" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08898-1024x768.jpg" width="620" height="465" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08898-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08898-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC08898-300x224.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every region in France has its own Eau-de-Vie, but haven&#8217;t you ever wondered what that would be in France&#8217;s famous Bordeaux appellation? As Bordeaux wines sell comparatively well,<span id="more-4375"></span> I guess there was no need for producers to distill grapes, especially as this type of Brandy (A.O.R.) has no real niche in the spirit market. Our friend Philipp Windgassen was lucky enough to discover the only stock of “Fine Bordeaux” A.O.R. (appellation d’origine réglementée) remaining in existence today. On his page he writes:</p>
<p><div id="attachment_4396" style="width: 293px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Simon-Thompson.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4396" class="size-full wp-image-4396" title="Simon Thompson" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Simon-Thompson.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="256" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Simon-Thompson.jpg 283w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Simon-Thompson-150x135.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-4396" class="wp-caption-text">Spirit Hunter: Simon Thompson</p></div></p>
<p>White wines from Ugni blanc and Colombar varietals from the Bordeaux region are first double distilled (“à repasse”) in traditional copper pot-stills and then set down to mature in oak casks, only to be woken from a deep slumber &#8211; like a sleeping beauty &#8211; by a subject of Her Royal Majesty, who has fallen in love with this absolutely unique elixir from Bordeaux. Inspired by the region’s wine making craftsmanship and rich history, resolutely contemporary, the Thompson’s® range offers uniquely selected “eaux-de-vie”, exclusively from the Bordeaux region. The shared history between Bordeaux, Aquitaine and England is long and rich. The discovery of this forgotten treasure will add a new page to that special relationship.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-brandy-thompsons.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4391" title="thompson's brandy thompsons" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-brandy-thompsons-116x300.jpg" alt="" width="116" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-brandy-thompsons-116x300.jpg 116w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-brandy-thompsons-58x150.jpg 58w" sizes="(max-width: 116px) 100vw, 116px" /></a>As I love a good brandy, I am curious to try these rare distillates. Only a few hundred bottles of the 25 and 30 year old versions exist. Find out more about them <a href="http://www.thompsons.fr" target="_blank">here</a>. Simon Thompson wants to become an established producer in Bordeaux. But can his distillates become rivals for cognacs. Unique, they are! To answer that, let&#8217;s try all three currently available versions:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Thompson&#8217;s Single Distillery Finest French Grape Brandy, 40%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> On paper, this is not the real deal yet (hence the name) because it is only married with a little Fine Bordeaux A.O.R. However, I am positively surpised. The mixing seems to enhance complexity and the Limousin oak did a good job. The lead notes are hay, straw, dried flowers (geranium)</p>
<p><div id="attachment_4389" style="width: 91px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-brandy-union-jack.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4389" class="size-medium wp-image-4389 " title="thompson's brandy union jack" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-brandy-union-jack-116x300.jpg" alt="" width="81" height="210" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-brandy-union-jack-116x300.jpg 116w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-brandy-union-jack-58x150.jpg 58w" sizes="(max-width: 81px) 100vw, 81px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-4389" class="wp-caption-text">Union Jack Version</p></div></p>
<p>and licorice, which don&#8217;t immediately become associated with brandy. In fact, it is a bit whisky-like at first nosing, somehow between the worlds. I am also getting vanilla, soft peppery spice, raisins, green grapes, crystallized oranges, lemons and pineapples. On the palate it clearly presents itself as a grape distillate in a very gentle, light and slightly creamy style. The vanilla and the brighter fruits get bolder and are well in tune with the licorice and hay. This youngest version also finishes like it tastes, a real smooth and light sipper of good quality.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 86</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Thompson&#8217;s Fine Bordeaux 25 y.o. A.O.R. Single Distillery, Very Limited Edition, 40%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Thompsons-Fine-Bordeaux-25-y.o..jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4409" title="Thompson's Fine Bordeaux 25 y.o." src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Thompsons-Fine-Bordeaux-25-y.o..jpg" alt="" width="285" height="405" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Thompsons-Fine-Bordeaux-25-y.o..jpg 475w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Thompsons-Fine-Bordeaux-25-y.o.-105x150.jpg 105w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Thompsons-Fine-Bordeaux-25-y.o.-211x300.jpg 211w" sizes="(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px" /></a>Comment:</strong> This brandy actually is 26 years old and way heavier and deeper in style than its predecessor, also more typical. Wonderful aromas of tobacco and soft smoke from fine cigars in cedar wood caress the nose as well as some rancio, marzipan and vanilla. Intriguing Indian restaurant smells join in (sandalwood sticks, Tandoori, Ghee butter, curry), very interesting. There also are raisins, prunes, dates, cherries in chocolate, ginger bread, dough, lemon grass, crystallized citrus fruits, pineapple and a whiff espresso to be found in this complex combo. This complexity translates into the palate and the long finish in a full and slightly creamy style that bears gentle smoothness. The raisins take center stage without going overboard. This is better than many cognacs of the same price category. Recommendation!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Thompson&#8217;s Fine Bordeaux 30 y.o. A.O.R. Single Distillery, Very Limited Edition, 40%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-fine-bordeaux-30-y.o..jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4412" title="thompson's fine bordeaux 30 y.o." src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-fine-bordeaux-30-y.o..jpg" alt="" width="317" height="472" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-fine-bordeaux-30-y.o..jpg 453w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-fine-bordeaux-30-y.o.-100x150.jpg 100w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/thompsons-fine-bordeaux-30-y.o.-201x300.jpg 201w" sizes="(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px" /></a>Comment:</strong> Here comes the &#8218;headliner&#8216;, actually being 33 years of age. And how those seven more years in Limousin oak make a difference! There is so much going on in this Fine Bordeaux, amazing. A wonderfully balanced nose without any edges and a depth that displays perfect maturity that reminds me of an old Demerara Rum or a heavily sherried Speyside whisky (Glenfarclas) in its thirties but with still enough trademark brandy features. It is sweeter and darker than the 25. This kind of complexity leaves me speechless: Muscovado sugar molasses, lit cigar, humidor, cedar wood, chocolate-covered coffee beans (mocca), vanilla pod, mahogani, sandal wood, marzipan, old balsamico vinegar, fresh dough, ginger bread, soft smoke, flowerpot earth, geranium, malt beer, walnut liqueur and many fruity elements (dried apricots, prunes with a Hoisin Sauce touch, dates, red grapes and raisins, crystallized oranges and lemon skin) and what not &#8211; I kid you not, it&#8217;s all there! This elixir from Bordeaux coats the tongue and mouth in fat and creamy fashion and finishes at medium length. Utter bliss. Imagine this dram in cask strength. It would easily rival great cognacs. A &#8218;must-have&#8216; at a price point below 100.- Euro.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 92</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>P.S.: I kept this article back to celebrate the first birthday of this blog (not the page) &#8211; which is today :)! Thanks for reading, everyone. Here&#8217;s to many more years!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a blast! I could try so many interesting beers, of which I found the IPAs (Indian Pale Ales) most enjoyable. There were wonderful whisky-beers (Bourbon-casked, peated malt, etc.), crazily concentrated Stouts (Molen!) and Lambiks. Even strawberry- and raspberry-beers were there (but less great), not to mention the lilac-IPA (fun!).</p>
<p>Some rememberable whiskies among many were the Springbank Rundlets and Kilderkins (89), the very dark 21 from 1999 (94-95), Pe1 (92) and the new C&amp;S-Dram Series (all of them very good, esp. the Bunnahabhain 10, the Glendullan, etc.).</p>
<p>Willett-Bourbons, some R(h)ums, Grappe, Cognacs and old Glenglassaugh Malts rounded off a wonderful beer event.</p>
<p>More to come soon, sorry for the radio silence&#8230;loads to do here.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On a Saturday night when people go out, we should taste accordingly &#8211; so I put together some odd &#8217;nightlify&#8216; products as an interesting review for April fools tomorrow. I&#8217;m starting out with a pre-dinner vodka aged for ten years, the digestifs are a Caribbean/German rum liqueur and two flavoured rums from Mauritius.<span id="more-2740"></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Starka V.S. 10 y. Old Polish Vodka &#8218;Polmos&#8216; 40%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Starka-10-y.o.-Polish-Vodka.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2748" title="Starka 10 y.o. Polish Vodka" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Starka-10-y.o.-Polish-Vodka-94x300.jpg" alt="" width="94" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Starka-10-y.o.-Polish-Vodka-94x300.jpg 94w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Starka-10-y.o.-Polish-Vodka-47x150.jpg 47w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Starka-10-y.o.-Polish-Vodka.jpg 204w" sizes="(max-width: 94px) 100vw, 94px" /></a>In Poland it was a habit for some families to fill a small cask with vodka at the birth of a child and enjoy the matured distillate at the kid&#8217;s wedding or a special birthday at legal age. Good idea! Polmosages some of their Starka vodkas up to 50 years and allows us a totally new perspective on this drink. Their 10 y.o. is the entry-level into the world of aged vodka, so to speak. It starts with a very surprising nose that is very balanced and not vodka-like at all &#8211; at least what I connect with this spirit. I bet you that 97% of blind tasters would take this for a whisky. I also like the spice element (pepper) and the soft vanilla touch, which does not go overboard like in the &#8218;woodka&#8216; (another interesting oak-aged vodka from Germany). Lemon zest, whiffs of ginger, apples, dates, raisins and an aromatic freshness complete this enjoyable nose, which has improved with a little bottle age. In the taste it shows its true colors of vodka with raisins, ginger, fudge, hints of fruit and vanilla, not overly complex but good in its easy style with a medium-length finish. Nice Polish stuff, I must say. Thanks to Christine and Jörg for the sample.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 83</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>1767 Vanilla Cane Likör aus 15 y.o. Karibik-Rum (28% / 35%)</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/1767-Vanilla-Cane-15-y.o.-Lik%C3%B6r-aus-Karibik-Rum.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2749" title="1767 Vanilla Cane 15 y.o. Likör aus Karibik-Rum" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/1767-Vanilla-Cane-15-y.o.-Lik%C3%B6r-aus-Karibik-Rum-191x300.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="300" /></a>There are two versions of this with different abv. It is made in Flensburg, Germany (a city looking back on a long tradition of rum import), where 15 y.o. quality Caribbean rum is flavoured with natural Bourbon vanilla and diluted with glacier water, no additives, really natural and hand-made in all aspects. The makers and some connoisseurs claim that it is not meant for mixing &#8211; let&#8217;s see: Wow, indeed not artificial and full of harmony in the nose, more like a good rum that has big vanilla notes, like real vanilla pod to be precise. I am also getting tea with caramel sugar, traces of Amaretto almond liqueur, canned peaches and cheese cake with raisins, which means that it departs from rumminess with some time in the glass. I can picture it already accompanying creme brulee, Bavarian creme and stuff like that, even vanilla ice cream, Stracciatella or Malaga (rum-raisins). In terms of taste it is much sweeter than the nose would suggest, a bit too sweet for me, but maybe perfect with a cigar or in a tea &#8211; and it is a liqueur, so let&#8217;s not criticize sweetness (there is a law in Germany that forces you to add a certain big amount of sugar to call your product a liqueur). The intense and long finish adds whiffs of tobacco, coffee and marzipan to the aromas mentioned. Natural indeed, and drinkable on its own. Well done, Flensburg and thanks to Krissi (involuntarily providing me with a sample <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> )!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 83</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>New Grove &#8218;Lime Delight&#8216; Rum 40%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Lime-Delight-Rum-Mauritius.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2750" title="New Grove Lime Delight Rum Mauritius" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Lime-Delight-Rum-Mauritius-300x195.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="195" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Lime-Delight-Rum-Mauritius-300x195.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Lime-Delight-Rum-Mauritius-150x97.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Lime-Delight-Rum-Mauritius.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Mauritius born rum infused with hints of lime and spices, the base being the New Grove Plantation Rum. The nose reveals big lime aromas (slightly artificial and a bit like Sprite indeed, limoncello or toilet flush stone) and some white rum, that is pretty much it, but that&#8217;s what the label says. Chewing gum in the second row with traces of mint in a Mojito. The taste seems somewhat watered down with lime and mint in a rather neutral white rum. Nothing really happens here. Not fully convincing &#8211; but in a club, this is fine.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 72</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>New Grove &#8218;Vanilla Touch&#8216; Rum 40%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Vanilla-Touch-Rum-Mauritius.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2751" title="New Grove Vanilla Touch Rum Mauritius" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Vanilla-Touch-Rum-Mauritius-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Vanilla-Touch-Rum-Mauritius-224x300.jpg 224w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Vanilla-Touch-Rum-Mauritius-112x150.jpg 112w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/New-Grove-Vanilla-Touch-Rum-Mauritius.jpg 596w" sizes="(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px" /></a>Aside from another flavoured rum called &#8218;Orange Bliss&#8216; by New Grove, this is a new third version with vanilla and citronella. Let&#8217;s nose this one: The dominating vanilla aromas are way more unnatural here (in comparison to the Vanilla Cane from above), like the vanilla puddings you can buy &#8211; okeyish, not bad, but also not very original. Citronella and whiffs of warming spices (aniseed and cinnamon) are the only other notes to be found, no magic of the rum happening. Oh my God, I tasted it, it is quite a mess with much more aniseed and alcohol that seems cheap, altogether really artificial. Only for mixing, but good barkeepers only use quality if they are good &#8230; so &#8230; mmmmh, I don&#8217;t know what to do with this one. Forgive me, Mauritius, I love your oak aged rum, but this stuff is pointless.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 67</strong></p>

Purer Kult, bei dem Whiskygeschichte Stadtgeschichte trifft.

<p>Auch bei den Whiskys machen wir keine Kompromisse:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Warm-Up:</span> 12 y.o. Single Domaine Guyana Rum (Caribbean Distillers), bottled 2004 by Rum Nation, Rossi &amp; Rossi Imp. (Italy), 43%</strong> (Premium-Rum aus Guyana, wird Euch positiv überraschen und die Geschmacksknospen vorbereiten)</li>
<li><strong>Glenglassaugh 22 y.o. Hart Bros., 1974, 43%</strong> (zu Recht sind derzeit alle wild auf Glenglassaugh, hier wieder eine dieser Traubenzucker-Malz-Fruchtbomben aus der besten Zeit vor der Schließung)</li>
<li><strong>Tomatin 33 y.o. Duncan Taylor (Rare Auld), Dec. 1976 &#8211; Feb. 2010, (Sherry) Cask 6816, 264 btl., 51,6%</strong> (komplex mit sehr viel Frucht und Obst, eben ein High-End Dram aus Tomatins bestem Jahrgang, erreicht stets 90-94 Punkte)</li>
<li><strong>Auchentoshan 29 y.o. OB, distilled 12.03.1973, Sherry Butt 793, 55,8%</strong> (Ein alter Auchie gewann zuletzt das Tasting in Regensburg, die Einzelfässer sind unschlagbar, muss man erlebt haben: &#8222;Dark-Fruit- Smoothie-Orgasm&#8220;)</li>
<li><strong>Springbank 21 y.o. OB (Old Parchment Label, distilled in 1960ies), 75cl dumpy bottle, 46%</strong> (Legende, aus den gleichen Jahren wie die Local Barleys und co., dazu noch viel Sherryfass-Einfluss: 93+ Punkte bei Serge, Olivier und mir, Kokos, Mandelöl, Serrano-Schinken, dunkle Frucht, edle Eiche und so unendlich viel mehr &#8211; not to miss!)</li>
<li><strong>Glendronach 1. May 1992 &#8211; 4. Feb. 2009 OB for King&#8217;s Court Society, Sherry Butt 39, 200 btl., 58,7%</strong> (Dark Sherry-Power, Blumentopferde, Kaffee, Top-Einzelfass aus der Kultbrennerei, die derzeit mit Preisen überhäuft wird)</li>
<li><strong>Bowmore 1994 &#8211; 2008 Berry Bros. &amp; Rudd, Cask 1681, 56,3%</strong> (so geht Bowmore: richtig gute Islay-Torf-Power ohne Einbußen in Sachen Brennereicharakter, 1993 und 1994 waren endlich wieder Topjahre bei Bowmore, weshalb die Preise für diese Jahrgangsabfüllungen explodieren)</li>
<li><strong>Port Ellen 26 y.o. Three Rivers (Tokyo), 13. Oct. 1982 &#8211; 17. Aug. 2009, Sherry Butt 2473, 200 btl., 55,7%</strong> (ein weiterer Anwärter auf den Tagessieg: gereifter PE mit genug, aber nicht zu viel Sherry-Einfluss, genau in der Mitte zwischen Torf-Leder-Jod-Combo, dreckig-öliger Würze und fruchtigen Sekundäraromen &#8211; natürlich in Fassstärke)<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Line-up-Dram-in-a-Tram.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2366" title="Line-up Dram in a Tram" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Line-up-Dram-in-a-Tram.jpg" alt="" width="909" height="682" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Line-up-Dram-in-a-Tram.jpg 909w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Line-up-Dram-in-a-Tram-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Line-up-Dram-in-a-Tram-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px" /></a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unser letztes Gewinnspiel lobte zwei Schottlandreisen aus (Dank hierfür noch einmal an Frank Böer, die ganze Reise war ein Riesenspaß).

<p>Sehr gerne begrüßen wir Euch (wieder) an unserem <strong>Stand von Munich-Spirits/slowdrink.de</strong>. Unsere offenen Flaschen und die Monster Malts findet ihr hier im Blog. Dabeisein ist Pflicht!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Premium-R(h)um-Verkostung in München</strong></span></p>
<p>Schon lange planen wir einen Rumabend, denn diese Spirituose steht den Single Malts in Komplexität und Vielseitigkeit kaum nach. Dennoch fristet sie in unseren Breiten ein Schattendasein. Bei diesem <strong>Tasting mit Spitzendestillaten</strong> würde ich Euch gern überzeugen, dass dem R(h)um Unrecht wiederfährt.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Karibik.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2169" title="Karibik" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Karibik-150x112.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="112" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Karibik-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Karibik-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Karibik.jpg 521w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Ich konnte auch <strong>Werner Prawda</strong> zum Kommen bewegen, der einen bekannten Rum-Versand leitet und bestimmt viel beitragen kann. Ebenso wird uns <strong>Philipp Windgassen</strong> die Ehre eben, er ist ein Distributor von Centenario Ron.<span id="more-2155"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Termin</strong>: Do., 01. März 2012, 19:00 Uhr im Münchener Bistro &#8218;A Tavola&#8216; (Machtlfinger Str. 10, direkt neben U3-Station Machtlfingerstr.)</p>

<p>1. Ron Malteco &#8218;Anejo Suave&#8216; 10 y.o. (Guatemala)</p>
<p>2. Santa Teresa &#8218;1796&#8216; Ron Antiguo de Solera 15 y.o. (Venezuela)</p>
<p>3. Rhum Barbancourt &#8218;Reserve du  Domaine&#8216; 15 y.o. (Haiti)</p>

<p>10. &#8230; Evtl eine Überraschung &#8230;</p>
<p>Diese Range zeigt die Vielfalt recht gut und ist schon relativ hochklassig. Natürlich gibt es immer noch eine Steigerung (mehr Einzelfässer, Alter, etc.), doch für unsere Jungfernfahrt auf der Black Pearl ist das ein guter Anfang <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> .</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dies sind die <strong>letzten News</strong> im alten Jahr, in dem wir uns noch für Eure Treue und das uns entgegengebrachte Interesse bedanken wollen. Es hat uns wieder sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Unsere non-profit-Plattform wächst und gedeiht und auch der Blog wird eifrig besucht. Demnächst gibt es wieder mehr Verkostungsnotizen zu lesen.</p>
<p>Folgende <strong>Events und Tipps</strong> möchte ich Euch abschließend ans Herz legen:<span id="more-1842"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>1) Tasting-Gutscheine von slowdrink.de verschenken</strong></span></p>
<p>Klickt einfach auf der Homepage auf den Reiter &#8218;Zum Verschenken&#8216; &#8211; unsere ansprechend gestalteten <strong>Tastinggutscheine mit Samples zur Vorfreude</strong> sind immer sehr beliebte und originelle Präsente.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>2) Whiskyverkostung in Regensburg zusammen mit dem Irish Pub <em>&#8218;Murphy&#8217;s Law&#8216;</em></strong></span></p>
<p>Am kommenden <strong>Sonntag, den</strong> <strong>11. Dezember 2011</strong> um <strong>ca. 19.00 &#8211; 21.30 Uhr</strong> werden wir eine <strong>Whiskyverkostung im <em>Murphy&#8217;s Law</em></strong> (Spiegelgasse, Regensburger Altstadt) haben. Kultwirt Mike freut sich schon auf uns und wird an diesem vorweihnachtlichen Sonntag auch ein paar Drams mit uns genießen, ich moderiere dort. Das Line-up wird Gefallen finden:</p>
<ol>
<li> Warm-up Dram (slightly sherried Speysider, gut zum Einsteigen)</li>
<li>Auchentoshan 1975 OB, 21 y.o. (exzellente Rarität in cask strength, Kult und ehemaliger Tasting-Winner)</li>
<li>Royal Brackla 25 y.o. gereift im Fino Sherry Fass (sehr ausgewogener Highland Malt, absolute Allround-Qualität, ehem. Tasting-Winner)</li>
<li>Glenglassaugh 1983 &#8211; 2011 OB for Germany 28 y.o., matured in Sherry, finished in Sauternes Cask (ganz neu, cask strength und oberklasse)</li>
<li>Glendronach OB 12 y.o. Sherry Wood from 1970ies for Previ Import (Italien) (sehr dunkle Sherry Malt-Rarität, die immer teurer wird, weil sie so lecker ist: ehem. Tasting-Gewinner)</li>
<li>Bowmore OB Tempest (Batch 2) 10 y.o. aus first-fill Bourbon Casks (ein tropenfruchtig-torfiger Islay Malt, typische Bowmore-Balance, richtig gut und in Cask Strength)</li>
<li>Laphroaig only for Clubs (slowdrink.de/Nürnberg) 1998 aus Sherry Cask in Cask Strength, 90 Punkte bei Serge Valentin</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Preis:</strong> Nur<strong> 30.- Euro</strong> (Selbstkostenpreis, aber keine slowdrink.de-Veranstaltung, ein Partner-Event)</p>
<p><strong>Anmeldung:</strong> Im Murphy&#8217;s Law in Regensburg oder per Telefon (Pub an 18:00 Uhr : 0941-53295; oder Mike: 0160-7828736)</p>
<p>Bei diesem Tasting solltet Ihr schnell sein, die Liste de Anmeldungen wird voller.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>3) R(h)um probieren in der Markthalle Regensburg</strong></span></p>
<p>Unsere Freunde von <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Wein&amp;Mehr</strong></span> laden Euch zum Probieren einiger R(h)umsorten ein! Ich selbst habe mich dort schon orientiert und war begeistert &#8211; nicht verpassen, die Aktion endet in Kürze. Diese <strong>Top-R(h)ums</strong> sind auch gute Weihnachtsgeschenke -ggf. für einen selbst <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> . Kommt einfach zum <strong>Wein&amp;Mehr-Shop</strong> in der Regensburger Markthalle (Dachauer Platz). Es lohnt sich!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>4) Whisky-Tasting im <em>Männerladen</em> (Landshut)</strong></span></p>
<p>Auf ein Neues &#8211; dies ist der zweite Anlauf, da unsere Planung beim ersten Mal zu kurzfristig war, weshalb sich zu wenige Anmeldungen ergaben. Als neuen Termin haben wir einen Samstag ins Auge gefasst, um das Gewölbe im  <em>Männerladen </em>einzuweihen. Das von mir moderierte Tasting findet am<strong> 21. Januar um 19.00 Uhr </strong>statt <strong>(Voranmeldung, Männerladen, Altstadt 18 &#8211; 20, Landshut)</strong>. Ich habe ein Line-up zusammengestellt, bei dem für jeden Whiskyfreund etwas dabei sein wird (verschiedene Regionen, Alter, Fassreifungen, etc., fast nur Einzelfass-Whiskys).</p>
<p>Hier die <strong>Verkostungsliste</strong> mit ein paar echten Highlights und noch geheimen, nicht gelisteten Überraschungen:</p>
<ol>
<li>Highland Park (Orkney) 16 years old, 1994 &#8211; 2010,<br />
Ex-Bourbon Hogshead, 54,6%</li>
<li>Mortlach 18 y.o., 1993 &#8211; 2011,<br />
Ex-Sherry Butt, 57,2%</li>
<li>Miltonduff (Elgin) 13 y.o., 1998 &#8211; 2011,<br />
Sherry Hogshead No. 3619, 59,9%</li>
<li>Braes of Glenlivet (Elgin) 21 y.o., 1989 &#8211; 2011,<br />
Hogshead Nr. 1030, 54,7%</li>
<li>Glenglassaugh (Portsoy) 28 y.o., 1983,<br />
Refill-Sherry Butt finished in a fresh Sauternes Cask, 49,6%</li>
<li>Bunnahabhain 24 y.o., 1986 &#8211; 2010, Sherry Butt 1282, 53,8%</li>
<li>Islay Edition No.1 (Bowmore, Islay) 13 y.o.,<br />
Limited to 3 casks, 46%</li>
<li>Laphroaig 14 y.o. (Islay), 1997 – 2011, Bourbon Hogshead, 43,3%</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Unkostenbeitrag: 39.- Euro</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anmeldung:</strong> Im Männerladen (persönlich, telefonisch unter 0871-29475 oder unter folgender Mail-Adresse: info@maennerladen.de)</p>
<p>Ich denke, das Dabeisein ist Pflicht &#8211; für diesen geringen Preis wird da <strong>großes Whiskykino</strong> geboten. <strong>Aber beeilen, die Plätze sind limitiert!</strong> Anmerkung: Nicht kombinierbar mit einem Slowdrink-Gutschein, da es ein Partner-Event ist.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>5) Interesse an einer edlen R(h)um-Verkostung in München?</strong></span></p>
<p>Schon lange planen wir einen Rumabend, denn diese Spirituose steht den Single Malts in Komplexität und Vielseitigkeit kaum nach. Dennoch fristet sie in unseren Breiten ein Schattendasein. Bei diesem Tasting mit Spitzendestillaten würde ich Euch gern überzeugen, dass dem R(h)um Unrecht wiederfährt.</p>
<p>Wer daran Interesse hätte, soll uns unter <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">info@slowdrink.de</span></span> <strong>mailen</strong>. Je nach Feedback steigt die Sache. Hier mein <strong>Lineup-Vorschlag</strong> für den niveauvollen Einstieg in die wunderbare Welt des R(h)ums (Alternativen möglich und zahlreich vorhanden):</p>
<p>1. Ron Malteco &#8218;Anejo Suave&#8216; 10 y.o. (Guatemala)</p>
<p>2. Santa Teresa &#8218;1796&#8216; Ron Antiguo de Solera 15 y.o. (Venezuela)</p>
<p>3. Rhum Barbancourt &#8218;Reserve du  Domaine&#8216; 15 y.o. (Haiti)</p>
<p>4. Ron Zacapa Centenario &#8218;Etiqueta Negra&#8216; Sistema Solera 23 y.o. (Guatemala)</p>
<p>5. Riviere du Mat Rhum &#8218;Grande Reserve&#8216; (La Reunion)</p>
<p>6. Ron Centenario &#8217;30 Anos&#8216; Edicion Limitada (Costa Rica)</p>
<p>7. HSE (Habitation Saint-Etienne) &#8218;XO&#8216; Rhum Extra Vieux Agricole (Martinique)</p>
<p>8. Rhum J.M &#8218;Cuvee du Fondateur&#8216; Rhum Vieux Agricole Hors d&#8217;Age (Martinique)</p>
<p>9. Port Mourant 33 y.o., 1975-2008, &#8218;Full Proof&#8216; Old Demerara Rum (Guyana)</p>
<p>10. &#8230; Evtl eine Überraschung &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Kosten:</strong> Nur ca. 30.- Euro</p>
<p><strong>Bitte schreibt uns zahlreich</strong>, denn R(h)um macht mächtig Spaß und bietet auch kostengünstige Alternativen zu so manchem Malt.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>6) SMWS-Verkostung bei Munich-Spirits</strong></span></p>
<p>Zuletzt würde ich gerne auf einen Single Malt-Abend mit unserem Freund Ralf Dänzer, dem Scotch Malt Whisky Society-Vertreter im Süden, hinweisen. Alle Daten zur Anmeldung für den <strong>28. Januar 2011</strong> findet Ihr bei: <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>www.munich-spirits.de</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wir freuen uns von Euch zu hören und wünschen ein frohes Fest und einen guten Rutsch,</p>
<p>Euer slowdrink.de-Team.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Es soll Leute geben, die für eine leckere Flasche Single Malt <strong>hunderte von Euros</strong> hinblättern. Alles Irre! Wenn die doch wüßten, dass es auch <strong>billiger</strong> geht &#8230; mit diesem fantastischen Produkt aus Schweden, welches ich hier jedem ans Herz legen will:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Jonny&#8217;s Whisky Essence / Prestige Scotch Malt Whisky-Essence</strong></span></p>
<p>Dieses<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Whisky-Essenz-gro%C3%9F2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1831" title="Whisky-Essenz groß" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Whisky-Essenz-gro%C3%9F2-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a> Konzentrat <strong>ersetzt Euch jeden uralten Ardbeg oder Macallan</strong> &#8211; und das <strong>für weniger als zehn Euro<span id="more-1822"></span><img decoding="async" title="Weiterlesen..." src="http://www.finest-spirits.com/wordpress/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /></strong> (Essenz ca. 5.-  und 750 ml Sprit). Nix mit jahrelanger Reifung, Herstellung in komischen Brennblasenformen und dem ganzen Zeugs für Nerds. Es geht doch viel einfacher:</p>
<p>Man fülle die in einem Fläschchen enthaltenen <strong>20 ml Essenz</strong> in eine normale <strong>leere Whiskyflasche</strong>. Dann zu drei Vierteln mit Wodka befüllen, verschließen und kräftig schütteln. Anschließend bis oben <strong>mit Wodka auffüllen</strong> und erneut<strong> shaken</strong>, bis sich alle Zutaten vollständig vermengt haben. <strong>Basta!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jim Murray</strong> könnte hier nur <strong>95-98 Punkte</strong> vergeben, da hat der Uigeadail oder der Old Pulteney 21 y.o. keine Chance. Glaubt meinem Urteil: <strong>klasse Stoff!</strong> Das verspricht schon die englische <strong>Zutatenliste</strong>: Glycerine, natural and identical to natural whisky aromas, oak extract, E150 caramel. Was braucht man mehr?</p>

<p>&#8230;und das <strong>Ergebnis war einstimmig</strong>. Ihr hättet dabei sein sollen. Da schnalzten die Geschmacksknospen, sage ich Euch. Wenn Ihr dieses einmalige Trinkerlebnis nachholen wollt, könnt Ihr dies gerne auf der <strong>Finest Spirits-Messe 2012</strong> beim Slowdrink- / Munich-Spirits-Stand nachholen. Gerne schenk&#8216; ich Euch dort einen Dram dieses Monsters aus &#8230; und mein mitgebrachtes Bottling dieses himmlischen Nektars wird dann sogar schon <strong>Old Bottle Flavour</strong> haben <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> .</p>
<p>Die Festival-Leitung denkt momentan schon darüber nach, diesen Edelstoff als <strong>Headliner</strong> anzupreisen und in vorderster Reihe des Messeshops zu positionieren. Es wird importiert, was das Zeug hält.<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bottling-Whisky-Essenz.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1826 alignright" title="Bottling Whisky Essenz" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bottling-Whisky-Essenz-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bottling-Whisky-Essenz-224x300.jpg 224w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bottling-Whisky-Essenz-112x150.jpg 112w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bottling-Whisky-Essenz.jpg 511w" sizes="(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px" /></a></p>
<p>Für den nun gesamteuropäischen Markt braucht man allerdings noch einen <strong>geeign</strong><strong>eten Namen</strong>. Die momentanen Arbeitstitel sind noch<strong> &#8218;The Evil Bitch &#8211; Blind Men&#8217;s Choice&#8216;</strong> oder <strong>&#8218;Lochan Uaine Boladh &#8211; The Crocodile&#8217;s Ass&#8216;</strong>. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Ihr ein paar bessere <strong>Vorschläge</strong> für den wahrscheinlich besten Whisky der Welt per Mail machen könntet. Der Gewinner darf  eine Gratisflasche sein Eigen nennen.</p>
<p>Slainte!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once the whole family is &#8218;in da house&#8216;, there is no way of working on the blog. Moreover, I refrain from taking overly precise tasting notes at the family lunch/dinner table. So most of this comes from my memory of emptied bottles during the festivity.</p>
<p>We started out with two sparkling wines from the Prosecco area (Conegliano/Valdobbiadene) and wider Venetia which come in very fancy outfits. These wines were:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ettore Ceschin &#8218;Bepin de Eto &#8211; Rosato Millesimato&#8216; 2009 Vino Spumante Brut 11,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> I couldn&#8217;t find the vintage on the bottle, only the information about the 2010 lot on the back label. Anyway, this Venetian sparkling Rosato is a strawberry and raspberry-driven little charmer with<span id="more-1737"></span> freshness and good moussage and no yeasty notes. Later you find peaches, melon, lychee and other fruits in the uncomplicated mix. A great aperitif with a lasting structure, not really complex stuff, but simply joyful and well-done.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 88 (2011)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As new guests kept pouring in, we opened a second wine from Ettore Ceschin:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ettore Ceschin &#8218;Bepin de Eto &#8211; Prosecco Superiore Millesimato&#8216; 2009 Extra Dry 11,5% DOCG</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Same vintage guessing like above, only the lot number says 2010. However, this is convincing Prosecco. Not as dry as the label suggests, this is wonderfully fresh and fruity. I like it as much as the Mionetto bottlings.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89 (2011)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then lunch (game in port) required a mature Bordeaux on the lighter side which made me go for Saint Emilion:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Chateau La Gaffeliere 1990 1er Grand Cru Classe St.-Emilion 12,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Very typical for its soil and just at its peak. Brighter berries lead the way of this autumn-like wine with leafy notes, game, forest floor, leather and pencil shavings. The backbone is still intact. It fitted the game really well and revealed secondary and tertiary aromas in amazing complexity.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 93 (2011)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We had killed these bottles and a liqueur from my mother-in-law, who produces the Wallner-Gewekin Liqueurs, when neighbours arrived to congratulate at coffee time. As we still were in a bubbly mood and had apple crumble, we opened a lifestyle / fun-oriented sparkler, a cider from South Tyrolia, while my daughter opened the first birthday presents of her life (and prefering to play with the wrapping paper instead of the actual present):</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Pur Südtirol &#8218;S&#8217;POM&#8216; Apfelcidre Dry 6,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> What can I say? This in not a mind-boggling elixir, but it is incredibly refreshing and slightly sour apple cider &#8211; good now, even better in summer. The apples stem from a Grand Cru mountain site of the Southern Dolomites at 900 meters a.s.l. and express also some flowery notes at a great balance. There are not many better ways of having apples!</p>
<p><strong>Score: 88 (2011)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For dinner, we had one big course and three wines ( I am on a diet, but no one cared &#8211; so I would have to play more sports this week). The plates were filled with cold beef breast in a vinaigrette and little onions, pickles, eggs etc. as toppings, one of mom&#8217;s recipes. This went well with a Pinot Noir or a Riesling:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Sybille Kuntz &#8218;Gold-Quadrat&#8216; 2007 Riesling Spätlese (Alte Reben) trocken 13,5% Mosel</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> This Goldquadrat Riesling comes from a rising winemaker team consisting of husband and wife &#8211; who wears the pants here considering the name <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> . They are growing fast and get well known around the scene step by step. This wine sourced from old vines isn&#8217;t very concentrated but shows good minerality and some natural sweetness that simply fits. Honey, white peach, bright fruits and reminiscenses of Alsacian Riesling hit the mid-palate at good balance. Very quaffable.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91 (2011)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The dish worked with the Mosel-Riesling, but it was elevated into a higher class by the Pinot Noir / Spätburgunder from a guest:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Schäffer &amp; Zeter &#8218;Bischofskreuz&#8216; Spätburgunder 2009 Pfalz / Palatinate (no photo)</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> This modern German Spätburgunder had nice notes of strawberry, raspberry and grapes, it was really fresh with nice acidity and quite some terroir. The wine was good but the combination was great.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89 (2011)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the later evening with conversation and leisure I chose a heavy wine that can mature very well, a Sagrantino di Montefalco, the top wine from that region made from the Sagrantino grape. This Umbrian area also produces cheaper wines named Rosso di Montefalco (mostly Sangiovese, some Sagrantino and other varietals) which are excellent for a low price. Try one if you can. Anyway we had this one from the amazing 1997 vintage in Tuscany and Umbria:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Saiagricola &#8218;Colpetrone&#8216; Sagrantino di Montefalco 1997 DOCG 13,5%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Ruby-red, dry, with a lot of grip &#8212; still young with a strong tannic and acidic backbone. I should have waited even longer but it already drinks nice. I was getting leather, wet dog, herbs (thyme, rosemary and oregano), soft smoke of toasted oak, pencil shavings, dark fruits (blackberry, maraschino cherry), balsamico vinegar, dark chocolate and almonds. A real complex biggie! This Sagrantino will open up and soften out in five to ten years, I suppose &#8211; then it will be heavenly.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 94 (2011)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We finished the wonderful day with a miniature of <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Carlos I. Brandy (ca. 2010)</strong></span>, of which I adore older versions from the 1970ies. The new bottling is still nice but not as deep and complex. I would go for <strong>86 points</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Wines-at-Birthday-Party.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1747" title="Wines at Birthday Party" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Wines-at-Birthday-Party.jpg" alt="" width="704" height="528" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Wines-at-Birthday-Party.jpg 704w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Wines-at-Birthday-Party-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Wines-at-Birthday-Party-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tomorrow I am going to continue catching up with notes. Included will be some rums, whiskies, liqueurs and Alsacian wines.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Stay Curious for New Things &#8211; Like Good Liqueurs</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes we need to remind ourselves to <strong>stay open-minded</strong>. When I used to hear the words &#8218;Whisky Liqueur&#8216; it reminded me of</p>
<p><div id="attachment_1290" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Scottish-Liqueur-Centre.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1290" class="size-medium wp-image-1290" title="Scottish Liqueur Centre" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Scottish-Liqueur-Centre-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Scottish-Liqueur-Centre-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Scottish-Liqueur-Centre-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Scottish-Liqueur-Centre.jpg 636w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1290" class="wp-caption-text">Just Outside the Scottish Liqueur Centre</p></div></p>
<p>products like <strong>Drambuie</strong> or <strong>Irish Mist</strong> &#8211; not exactly my favourites. I could enjoy <strong>Baileys</strong> <strong>Irish Cream</strong> occassionally but I would never have bought a full bottle.</p>
<p>As my mother-in-law produces new kinds of liqueur at home  (see the &#8217;not up-to-date page: http://www.wallner-gewekin.de), I know that there are <strong>exciting products in this genre</strong> as<span id="more-1284"></span> well. She directed my attention to this product. We call our <strong>liqueur &#8218;2.0&#8216;</strong> and try a lot of new ways like using less sugar.  I lend my spirit expertise to find the suitable basic alcohol for each fruit, petal or herb. So I kept my eyes open for new liqueurs much more recently but never had an interesting one from Scotland. Let me tell you how this has changed now:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Scottish Liqueur Centre</strong></p>
<p><div id="attachment_1291" style="width: 160px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/scottish-liqueur-centre-production-hall.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1291" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1291" title="scottish liqueur centre production hall" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/scottish-liqueur-centre-production-hall-150x112.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="112" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/scottish-liqueur-centre-production-hall-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/scottish-liqueur-centre-production-hall-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/scottish-liqueur-centre-production-hall.jpg 636w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1291" class="wp-caption-text">Production Hall</p></div></p>
<p>The Scottish Liqueur Centre produces not only their own stunning drinks and deal with casks and special whiskies, they also make <strong>liqueurs for distilleries, castles and rare occasions</strong>. I was in the happy position to pay them a visit along with some crazy Bavarians. Their managing director <strong>Kenny McKay</strong>, a legend in the whisky industry, showed us around and also joined us at sightseeing very generously. And as we toured the Highlands with him, he kept pouring us drams and liqueurs to try. There was <strong>not a bad one among them </strong>&#8211; and everybody agreed.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><div id="attachment_1292" style="width: 122px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Kenny-McKay.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1292" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1292" title="Kenny McKay" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Kenny-McKay-112x150.jpg" alt="" width="112" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Kenny-McKay-112x150.jpg 112w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Kenny-McKay-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Kenny-McKay.jpg 477w" sizes="(max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1292" class="wp-caption-text">Kenny Pourin&#39; his Elixirs</p></div></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have made a short list of my favourites. All are recommendable, but I liked &#8218;Bruadar&#8216; best, what a wonderfully balanced liqueur that embodies the Scottish Highlands. Anyway, they <strong>all suit different occasions</strong> and <strong>give some cocktails the extra edge. </strong>Even Highland cattle like the stuff (see photo). Don&#8217;t miss out and try them &#8211; you won&#8217;t regret it.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><div id="attachment_1293" style="width: 160px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/highland-cattle-and-liqueur.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1293" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1293" title="highland cattle and liqueur" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/highland-cattle-and-liqueur-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/highland-cattle-and-liqueur-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/highland-cattle-and-liqueur-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/highland-cattle-and-liqueur.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1293" class="wp-caption-text">Care for a Dram?</p></div></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Recommended for Trying</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>1. Bruadar</strong></span> (perfectly balanced, complex and top class &#8211; most recommendable for trying a liqueur for the first time &#8211; the Highlands in a glass)<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bruadar-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1304" title="bruadar 2" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bruadar-2-112x150.jpg" alt="" width="112" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bruadar-2-112x150.jpg 112w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bruadar-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bruadar-2.jpg 270w" sizes="(max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>2. Sloe Gin</strong></span> (many liked this even more than the Bruadar, great for mixing as well)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>3. Glenglassaugh Sloe Berry Liqueur</strong></span> (26%)<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/columba-cream-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1305" title="columba cream 2" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/columba-cream-2-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/columba-cream-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/columba-cream-2.jpg 250w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>4. Columba Cream</strong></span> (the better alternative to Baileys)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>5. Bramble Liqueur</strong></span> (now sold out, I still got a bottle) and other fruit liqueurs</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>6. Ginger Tams</strong></span> (ginger and honey take center stage &#8211; not only for cats)<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ginger-tams.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1306" title="ginger tams" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ginger-tams-146x150.jpg" alt="" width="146" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ginger-tams-146x150.jpg 146w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ginger-tams.jpg 239w" sizes="(max-width: 146px) 100vw, 146px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/slc.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1307" title="slc" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/slc-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/slc-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/slc.jpg 220w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>I think there will be <strong>more to come</strong> from Kenny and his friendly crew. Stay tuned! They also bottle really fine whiskies for The Whisky Exchange, their own Cairn Mor series, the C &amp; S Dram Collection and many more. And they are <strong>really nice people!</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An old whisky-finished Rum? This Ron (Rum) was brought to me by my friend Flo &#8211; it was one of his favourites at the German Rum Festival in Berlin this year. Let&#8217;s try this interesting product and two other drams (Glenlivet &#8218;Nadurra&#8216; and Aberlour &#8218;a&#8217;bunadh&#8216; Batch 35).<span id="more-1264"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Oliver &amp; Oliver Rum / Ron &#8218;Opthimus &#8211; 2011&#8216; 25 Anos, Metodo Solera, finished in Tomatin Malt Whisky Casks, 1350<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-25-rum-tomatin.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1268" title="opthimus 25 rum tomatin" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-25-rum-tomatin-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-25-rum-tomatin-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-25-rum-tomatin-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-25-rum-tomatin.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a> btl., Domenican Republic, 43%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Nose:</strong> The quite dark elixir displays great maturity, pipe tobacco, dried fruits, kola nut, orange and lemon zest, vanilla pod, lovely exotic spiciness (led by nutmeg, but also cinnamon, assorted Asian spices and white pepper), a certain demerara and marzipan sweetness, &#8218;Big Red&#8216; bubblegum, pine and espresso &#8211; only after some minutes the Whisky cask influnece begins to show by notes of heather honey and sweet barley malt.</p>
<p><strong>Taste:</strong> Milder than the nose suggested and more on latte macchiato instead of the mentioned espresso &#8211; the notes from above are reflected in admirable complexity and smoothness.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-rum-25-tomatin-close.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1269" title="opthimus rum 25 tomatin close" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-rum-25-tomatin-close-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-rum-25-tomatin-close-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-rum-25-tomatin-close-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/opthimus-rum-25-tomatin-close.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Finish:</strong> Back to espresso again, vanilla, marzipan, fruit tobacco,  malt and enticing whiffs of nutmeg and coriander keep goin&#8216; and goin&#8216; and goin&#8216; &#8230; no Tomatin Whisky traces detectable (but on the other hand: not at all missed).</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At a nice Whisky Dinner I hosted at the Wittelsbacher Hof in Kelheim yesterday (they have a great sky bar) I could revisit some old acquaintances on the go (no notes):</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Glenlivet-Nadurra-16.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1270" title="Glenlivet Nadurra 16" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Glenlivet-Nadurra-16-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Glenlivet-Nadurra-16-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Glenlivet-Nadurra-16.jpg 298w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The Glenlivet &#8218;Nadurra&#8216; OB 16 y.o., Batch 1109I (bottled 11/09), 54,2%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> An explosion of exotic fruit, vanilla, toffee, biscuits, flowers and grainy sweet malt. Modern in style, but convincing.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/aberlour-abunadh.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1271" title="aberlour a'bunadh" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/aberlour-abunadh.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Aberlour  &#8218;a&#8217;bunadh&#8216;, Oloroso Cask Maturation, Batch No. 35, 60,3%</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Still a stunner, although the cask quality has gone down a bit. I think. This creamy a&#8217;bunadh expresses more raisins than usual. Of course, there are plenty of Sherry and chocolate, cherries, prunes, nuts, honey and great coffee notes. Altogether less dry and more accesible than in early days, but also less unique.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89+</strong></p>

<p><strong>World Premiere</strong></p>
<p>Cognac Pitaud has been described and reviewed in another article on &#8218;www.slowdrink.de&#8216; (check it out as well!). Their products have fully convinced me. Now they <strong>launch two new Cru Cognacs</strong> in a limited edition: <strong>Pitaud Cognac Borderies</strong> and <strong>Pitaud Cognac </strong><strong>Petite Champagne</strong>. For connoisseurs, it will be very interesting to find out how the different terroir influences the final product. Others might say<span id="more-1018"></span> that blending is essential to have all you are looking for in one glass.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Cognac Crus and their Taste</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-crus.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1039" title="cognac crus" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-crus-300x212.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="212" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-crus-300x212.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-crus-150x106.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-crus-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-crus.jpg 1754w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>There are <strong>six Crus</strong> in Cognac in general: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fine Bois, Bon Bois and Bois Ordinaires.</p>
<p>Cognacs from <strong>Petite Champagne</strong>, which is an area of 16.171 hectares, are said to be <strong>floral and delicate</strong>, but not very strong on the mid-palate. <strong>Finesse</strong> is what they are about. Sometimes they also show good sweetness. These distillates are often mixed with Grande Champagne Cognacs, the most prestigious and quite powerful Cru with similar aromas but a bigger body, and are then often marketed as &#8218;Fine Champagne&#8216;.</p>
<p>The <strong>Borderies Cognacs</strong> (the smallest Cru of only 4.160 hectar<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vinyard-in-cognac.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1040" title="vinyard in cognac" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vinyard-in-cognac.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>es) have the <strong>most character and distinction </strong>because of a great microclimate. Here maturity is reached faster than in the other areas. Borderies Cognacs also vary more than the Cognacs of other areas and tend to be really round and a bit sweeter. Nutty aromas, big texture, a long finish and hints of iris and violet make them very popular for high-end products.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see how the new Pitaud Cognacs reflect this general description:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Pitaud Cognac &#8218;Petite Champagne&#8216; Edition Limitee, 40%</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/new-age-cognac-glasses.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1041" title="new age cognac glasses" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/new-age-cognac-glasses-150x101.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="101" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/new-age-cognac-glasses-150x101.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/new-age-cognac-glasses-300x203.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/new-age-cognac-glasses.jpg 575w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>This is a bit darker in color than the Borderies. The delicate Cognac shows flowers, herbs, grapes, dark oaky tones and a touch of smoke. Furthermore, vanilla, peaches, lime, lemon zest, almonds, dried fruits, Autan gnat spray, Cuban cigar, caramel, pine and white pepper add to the mix. In conclusion, it is more on the delicate side &#8211; which is in line with the Cru&#8217;s typicality.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 88+</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Pitaud Cognac &#8218;Borderies&#8216; Edition Limitee, 40%</strong></p>
<p><div id="attachment_1042" style="width: 160px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-trauben.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1042" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1042" title="cognac trauben" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-trauben-150x101.png" alt="" width="150" height="101" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-trauben-150x101.png 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-trauben-300x203.png 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cognac-trauben.png 382w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1042" class="wp-caption-text">Grapes used for Cognac</p></div></p>
<p>This is slightly lighter in color. In general it is earthier in style, also spicier (black pepper, Asian spices). However, both versions have flowers (violets, but less than at PC), herbs, grapes, dried fruits, smoke and dark oaky tones in common. The Borderies&#8216; exclusive aromas are hazelnuts, apricots, raisins, cookie-like notes, orange zest, hints of a humidor (less than in the Petite Champagne version), must and fleshy jerky. Altogether it is a bit richer and heavier, which again fits the expected typical taste of the Cru.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a nutshell, both Crus, which have an average age of 15 years, have their advantages and are high quality. There is not a full point between them, I just slightly prefer the more heavy Borderies version.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/signs-in-cognac.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1043" title="signs in cognac" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/signs-in-cognac-113x150.jpg" alt="" width="113" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/signs-in-cognac-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/signs-in-cognac-227x300.jpg 227w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/signs-in-cognac.jpg 255w" sizes="(max-width: 113px) 100vw, 113px" /></a>Vat of both Crus (50/50)</strong></p>
<p>For fun&#8217;s sake, I vatted both expressions. I got more depth and roundness, both Crus added to the mix instead of cancelling each other out. However, what the mix gained in complexity it lost in originality.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89</strong></p>
<p><div id="attachment_1044" style="width: 139px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pitaud-cellar.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1044" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1044" title="pitaud cellar" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pitaud-cellar-129x150.jpg" alt="" width="129" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pitaud-cellar-129x150.jpg 129w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pitaud-cellar-259x300.jpg 259w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pitaud-cellar.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 129px) 100vw, 129px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1044" class="wp-caption-text">Pitaud&#39;s Cellar</p></div></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This was a great learning experience. I recommend to get both versions not only to savour but to get to the heart of the Cognac Crus and the blending possibilities.</p>

<p>Should a drinks-blog deal with the downsides of C2H5OH, especially when it comes to the health of our kids? Hell, yeah!!! But I <strong>don&#8217;t want to sound like a hypocritical party pooper</strong>, I just feel a responsiblity to say a few words about <strong>a new kind of drink</strong> as a person who promotes alcohol as well &#8211; but <strong>for a different reason than the industry</strong> does.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>A Flood of New Mix Drinks?</strong></p>
<p>I got used to the pre-mixed &#8218;Lynchburg Lemonade&#8216; and the Whisky- and Rum-Cola cans that mostly get sold at fuel stations and clubs for teenagers. But now, another flood of spirit mix drinks seems to be rolling in &#8211; <strong>taste-tweaked whiskies with up to 40% alcohol</strong> &#8211; do we need these? And is the industry to blame, do they act responsible?<span id="more-559"></span> They sure do if it concerns profits! Of course, the spirit companies need to make money to provide for jobs (and they did pretty well recently) and produce the drams we love &#8211; but should ethics be sacrificed for profit? Or is there nothing wrong with these new releases? Many questions arise at a non black-and white issue. Let&#8217;s take it from the top then:</p>
<p><div id="attachment_573" style="width: 148px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/discussion-lifestyle-whisky-weird-and-dangerous-drinks/red-stag-party/" rel="attachment wp-att-573"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-573" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-573   " title="red stag party" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/red-stag-party-138x150.png" alt="" width="138" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/red-stag-party-138x150.png 138w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/red-stag-party-276x300.png 276w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/red-stag-party.png 357w" sizes="(max-width: 138px) 100vw, 138px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-573" class="wp-caption-text">Promotion Example</p></div></p>
<p>It is proven that such new easy-to-sip-liquors can foster alcoholism among youngsters because the <strong>spirit is masked</strong> by artificial sweet pleasant taste and its effect is played down or glorified. Vodka paved the way here. And the ads never say: Isn&#8217;t it &#8222;awesome and great fun&#8220; to become addicted? The new drinks like tweaked whiskys and vodkas at a high abv (%) are aimed especially at teenagers when we look at their campaigns (even on facebook).</p>

<p>There are wonderful small batch Bourbons by Jim Beam and Jack Daniel&#8217;s. But their new drinks which are heavily advertised &#8222;to have fun with friends&#8220; might be quite pointless to a connoisseur (but I will give them a fair chance by a review soon), and they are promoted like a soft drink, but it actually is high spirit with artificial tastes underneath &#8211; one shouldn&#8217;t take these too lightly. Maker&#8217;s Mark also has a new product of the lifestyle-kind, a ready-mixed Mint Julep at 33%.</p>
<p>Where is the creativity in kids today to mix their own headache-maker, do they really need a premanufactured one? It is not their fault, it is <strong>zeitgeist</strong>. And marketing knows best: I am sure, there is a huge market for these lifestyle whisky drinks, Bacardi Breezers and so on&#8230;it is the same with beer-mixes, because the kids don&#8217;t drink enough brewski. Captain Morgan is advertised directly to put it in a mix with Cola, and then you have the real pirate spirit with your party crew<strong>. The club crowd doesn&#8217;t want the actual taste of beer or the spirits</strong> (mostly for a reason &#8211; minor quality in taste), these need to taste more like lemonade and <strong>should get you drunk without noticing and make you feel good about yourself</strong>. Some of these are &#8218;alcopops&#8216; and already dangerous below 10%, but at 15% up to 40% with an innocent cherry taste&#8230;isn&#8217;t this questionable, at least. <strong>Shouldn&#8217;t we protect our children from such lures? </strong>Can they deal with such drinks and are they aware of the consequences?<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Promoting Spirit as &#8218;Cool Juice&#8216;</strong></p>
<p>Adjectives in the ads like &#8222;cool&#8220;, &#8222;cozy&#8220;, &#8222;juicy&#8220; and &#8222;inspiring&#8220; or the promise that the night &#8218;will be yours/on your side&#8216;<strong> appeal to the kids</strong>, and a jumping stag to a new beat does the trick as well, just like the X-mas-like winter landscape ideal for a dram at the fireplace on the new Jack Daniel&#8217;s bottle. A clear message is transmitted: Drink these mixes and things are cool&#8230;.in fact, <strong>you are cool!</strong> Well, &#8230;?</p>
<p><div id="attachment_575" style="width: 246px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/discussion-lifestyle-whisky-weird-and-dangerous-drinks/drink-starter/" rel="attachment wp-att-575"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-575" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-575 " title="drink starter" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/drink-starter-150x120.gif" alt="" width="236" height="188" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-575" class="wp-caption-text">Click for full size: Dangerous Drinks?</p></div></p>
<p>Ok, given that some of us had a similar drinking style in our young days, but weren&#8217;t we mixing the stuff by ourselves, were creative and saved money (these alcopops are ridiculously priced)? And the alcohol still tasted terrible. We didn&#8217;t often drink Jack, Johnnie and Jim or the Captain at full strength. I remember once mixing orange juice, Blue Bols and a cheap Cognac with Coke (all these were remains of my parents in their basement, forgotten there) in a big bottle for a party at age 18 so that the girls would try &#8211; <strong>everybody hated the mix</strong> but we finished the bottle. The following day was to be cancelled for all of us due to mean headaches, and we learned not to mix such stuff again because it was way stronger than we thought.  <strong>And that was a valuable learning experience after all</strong>. Nevertheless, such mixes weren&#8217;t promoted anywhere. Ads were only made for the pure stuff then.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_578" style="width: 181px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/discussion-lifestyle-whisky-weird-and-dangerous-drinks/alcopop-poster3/" rel="attachment wp-att-578"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-578" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-578 " title="alcopop-poster3" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/alcopop-poster3-94x150.jpg" alt="" width="171" height="271" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/alcopop-poster3-94x150.jpg 94w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/alcopop-poster3-189x300.jpg 189w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/alcopop-poster3.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 171px) 100vw, 171px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-578" class="wp-caption-text">Not only Girls should reconsider</p></div></p>
<p><strong>Time will tell &#8230;</strong></p>
<p>It has to be monitored how the new mix drinks will affect the drinking habits of youths. Maybe this turns out  less dangerous than I expect. That&#8217;s what I hope for &#8211; also because I like and respect many people working for the companies mentioned &#8211; and this should stay that way. Aside from that I ask myself a crucial question: Does it take a certain maturity and age to deal with alcohol in general and especially with alcohol&#8217;s taste and not with its effect? I am not yet sure what the answer to this might be, but if it should be yes, our kids need more protection.</p>

<p>Sometimes youngsters ask me about the whisky club and if we drink a lot. Once I start explaining that <strong>we look for taste, not the ru</strong><strong>sh</strong> of the alcohol in our blood, they wonder. I puzzle their minds by describing that a moderate and taste-oriented approach to drinks can be enriching and full of cultural experience without feeling the booze at all. Such an approach would be much better to teach them a responsible handling of their alcohol intake <strong>because they are aware of what they drink</strong>. I&#8217;d rather take my daughter to a well-moderated tasting than send her to a party with freely available alcopops (the best would be, however, to send her to sports instead). I will close with the words of a barkeeper meaning that one should drink aware and moderate (know your limit by knowing what you drink): <strong>Play with alcohol, don&#8217;t let it play with you! </strong>That is where the real &#8222;cool party fun&#8220; is.<strong></strong></p>

<p>Für den ersten Regensburger Whisky-Walk wollten wir auch eine Grappa nach dem Snack im Programm haben und griffen zu bester Qualität: Die <strong>Distilleria  Berta</strong> aus Nizza Monferrato (zwischen Turin und Genua) setzt sich rigoros zum Ziel, Italiens <strong>‚numero uno‘</strong> in Sachen Grappa zu sein, was Experten immer wieder bestätigen. Die Riserva del Fondatore ist die älteste erhältliche Abfüllung. Dieser Jahrgang (1989) wurde zum 60. Firmenjubiläum aufgelegt. 20 Jahre Reifung in verschiedenen Hölzern mittlerer Röstung hinterlassen eine bernsteinfarben schimmernde Essenz. <span id="more-489"></span>Die diskontinuierlich in kleinen Kupferkesseln gebrannten Trester setzen sich zusammen aus den Rebs<strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/grappa-berta-%e2%80%9ariserva-del-fondatore-paolo-berta%e2%80%98-20-y-o-1989-%e2%80%93-2009-%e2%80%9ainvecchiata-in-carati-di-essenze-diversi%e2%80%98-45/berta-blase/" rel="attachment wp-att-499"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-499" title="berta blase" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/berta-blase-63x150.jpg" alt="" width="79" height="188" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/berta-blase-63x150.jpg 63w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/berta-blase-126x300.jpg 126w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/berta-blase.jpg 215w" sizes="(max-width: 79px) 100vw, 79px" /></a></strong>orten Nebbiolo da Barbera, Barbaresco und Barolo der besten Winzer. So eine Grappa für <strong>ungefähr 130 Euro</strong> ist geschmacklich natrürlich hochkomplex und entspricht nur bedingt der gängigen Vorstellung dieser Spirituose, die stark aufgeholt hat:</p>

Die <strong>Leitaromen sind Aprikose</strong> (zunächst etwas zu<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/grappa-berta-%e2%80%9ariserva-del-fondatore-paolo-berta%e2%80%98-20-y-o-1989-%e2%80%93-2009-%e2%80%9ainvecchiata-in-carati-di-essenze-diversi%e2%80%98-45/manner-bei-berta/" rel="attachment wp-att-500"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-500" title="Männer bei Berta" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/M%C3%A4nner-bei-Berta-150x125.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="125" /></a> dominant, dann aber nach ein paar Minuten weniger vordergründig) <strong>und Vanille sowie die klassische Grappa-Traubenbrandnote</strong>. Daz treten reifes Obst (auch Kirschen), Trockenfrüchte, v.a. Datteln und Rosinen, sanfte florale Noten, ein dezenter Hefeton, englischer Christmas-Cake, exotische Hölzer (Sanddelholz etc.), fruchtiger Pfeifentabak alter Männer, Karamell, aber auch Gewürze wie Zimt und Kurkuma. Diese <strong>Komplexität</strong> lässt sich im fast saftigen Geschmack ebenso erkennen wie im sehr langen angenehmen Abgang. Insgesamt eine großartige und trinkige Grappa, wenn man langgereifte Brände liebt.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/cocktail-slowdrinks-scottish-summer/david-deck/" rel="attachment wp-att-413"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-413" title="David Deck" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/David-Deck-107x150.jpg" alt="" width="107" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/David-Deck-107x150.jpg 107w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/David-Deck-215x300.jpg 215w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/David-Deck.jpg 591w" sizes="(max-width: 107px) 100vw, 107px" /></a>Yesterday, we had our <strong>first Whisky Walk in Regensburg</strong>, Germany, with 36 participants and 10 stops for fine drams &#8211; and had an awesome time (article to come soon, invitation to be found here on page). At the Neue Filmbühne-Bar with its nice fountain outside, we had a great Whisky Cocktail. And as everybody asked me for the recipe, I am going to share it with you.<span id="more-408"></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/cocktail-slowdrinks-scottish-summer/bill-deck/" rel="attachment wp-att-414"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-414" title="bill deck" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bill-deck-110x150.jpg" alt="" width="110" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bill-deck-110x150.jpg 110w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bill-deck-220x300.jpg 220w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bill-deck.jpg 312w" sizes="(max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px" /></a>This drink was orginally created by David Deck, Bill Deck&#8217;s son from the famous <strong>Pusser&#8217;s BAR</strong> in Munich. Bill Deck brought the classic American Cocktail Bar back to Munich by opening Pusser&#8217;s in 1974. Moreover, he is a wonderful man with great humour and wisdom. His son, David Deck is from the next generation of barkeepers and gives his dad a hand. He called his mix &#8218;Scottish Summer&#8216;, but as there is another cocktail of that name around, we shall call it &#8218;Slowdrink&#8217;s Scottish Summer&#8216; and add one ingredient.</p>
<p>We chose this treat, because it was <strong>among the best Whisky Cocktails/Longdrinks in a series of drinks made by Munich&#8217;s best bartenders</strong> and it is easy to make. There were many great drinks that night at the CAMPARI Academy, at Negroni&#8217;s Bar, at Schumanns (Happy Birthday, Charles) and at Pusser&#8217;s BAR, but this one fitted our needs best by being really refreshing and dangerously drinkable. So here comes the <strong>recipe</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Slowdrink&#8217;s Scottish Summer</strong></p>
<p>4 cl Auchentoshan 10 y.o. Single Malt (or a light blend of good quality)<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/cocktail-slowdrinks-scottish-summer/pussers/" rel="attachment wp-att-415"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-415" title="pussers" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/pussers-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="277" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>1 cl Mango Syrup</p>
<p>1 cl Ginger Syrup</p>
<p>1 cl Lemon Juice</p>
<p>1 Blackberry / Brambleberry (not necessarily)</p>
<p>1 slice of Ginger</p>
<p>Put all the liquids in a shaker and shake, then fill it in a tumbler and fill it up with ice. Add the berry and the ginger slice into the liquid (and decorate with a lemon on the edge of the glass). <strong></strong></p>
