										<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>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/wu-dram-clan-vallein-tercinier-1967.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10569" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/wu-dram-clan-vallein-tercinier-1967-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/wu-dram-clan-vallein-tercinier-1967-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/wu-dram-clan-vallein-tercinier-1967-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/wu-dram-clan-vallein-tercinier-1967-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/wu-dram-clan-vallein-tercinier-1967-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/wu-dram-clan-vallein-tercinier-1967.jpg 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Having been a brandy buff and collector for many years, the situation is exciting for me and our club. 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 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>
<p><strong>Score: 90+</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Im Februar 2019 hatten wir die Ehre, Besuch von Bayern 3 zu bekommen</p>
<p>Andi Christl besuchte Pit und die beiden hatten richtig Spaß!</p>
<p>Man unterhielt sich über Whisky als Genuss- und Entschleunigunsmittel, Sensorik, historische Flaschen und das im Bau befindliche Whiskymuseum sowie Pits Lehrberuf und seinen Werdegang. Pit legt selbst keinen Wert auf Titel wie Whiskypapst oder Preise seiner Flaschen &#8211; es geht ihm um die Sache des slow drinking und Lebensfreude. Dennoch bleiben manche Superlative dabei nicht aus. Ein Whisky-Enthusiast lebt seinen Traum.</p>
<p>Also reinhören, dies sind ein paar Auszüge des Interviews. Danke an Bayern 3 und Andi.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to vehicles, who wouldn&#8217;t like to ride in style: like one of those old Ducati or an exciting vintage Ferrari. Old vehicles, well, actually everything from the old days has more soul than today&#8217;s equivalent, that is a given &#8211; but the old magic is less practical<span id="more-3408"></span> on the other hand, often even being a rare luxury. Or would you want to commute in the car/motorbike mentioned on a daily basis (considering fuel, reliability, performance, safety, etc.)?</p>
<p>This<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Distillery_1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3424" title="Roseisle Distillery_1" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Distillery_1-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Distillery_1-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Distillery_1-150x99.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Distillery_1-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Distillery_1.jpg 1458w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a> idea can be transferred to DIAGEO&#8217;s new Speyside distillery Roseisle, which became necessary due to the world&#8217;s rising demand for whisky (the company even plans to build another biggie soon). In above&#8217;s analogy, it is your Porsche Cayenne (but way more energy efficient): great performance, reliability and control in a practical manner. This is the future in distillation, if you like it or not.</p>

<p>The Roseisle complex (3.000 sq metre, 10-12 million litres output per annum possible), just outside Elgin, has been Scotland&#8217;s most ambitious and controversial distillery project since thirty years &#8211; at a price point of roughly 40 million quid (pounds). The goal was not to replace any other distillery but to have a 10% rise in DIAGEO&#8217;s malt portfolio with the ability to distill two (actually three) distinct Speyside whisky styles there: light and grassy as well as a more heavy one (on occasion). This diversity can be achieved mostly by variable condensing technology (details on request). However, Roseisle allows for more tweaking if it became necessary.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Still-Row.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3430" title="Roseisle Still Row" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Still-Row-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Still-Row-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Still-Row-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Still-Row.jpg 840w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>By now the first Roseisle whiskies are over three years old and turn out to be very promising (review of the nice new make coming soon). The owners said that they were very pleased with the outcome. According to Douglas Murray (Process and Liquid Development Manager) and Brian Higgs (Malt Distilling Director), there is always room for the unexpected in building a new distillery with an exact style of whisky in mind &#8211; even with tons of experience. Negative surprises have occured in other new places before, but aside from small bugs, Roseisle fulfilled all wishes of its designers so far.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3433" title="Roseisle external night 2" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night-2-300x193.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="193" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night-2-300x193.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night-2-150x96.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night-2.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>It might not be a very romantic distillery but Roseisle is a product of our time: 14 stills, state-of-the-art technical equipment, maltings on site, all highly energy- and cost efficient (very green, yes! Way less CO2 emission, etc.), industrial and very safe. I only found it scary for some minutes (sharing my colleagues thought of a &#8222;soulless distillation machine&#8220;), but then I became more and more impressed with the place &#8211; and came to the conclusion that it simply has a different, a modern soul.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Stills-close.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3436" title="Roseisle Stills close" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Stills-close-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Stills-close-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Stills-close-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Stills-close.jpg 630w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Many comparisons were made between pistons of sports cars and the stills there &#8211; for a good reason as you can see in the pictures. Every detail is up-to-date and well-planned, designed to create a great spirit on a global scale. And this paves the way into the future. Kilchoman, as nice as it may be for us enthusiasts, certainly doesn&#8217;t (cf. Whisky Magazine 91)?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Logo.bmp"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3437" title="Roseisle Logo" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-Logo.bmp" alt="" /></a>Of course, Roseisle spirit will mostly go into DIAGEO&#8217;s blends, as these still make up the lion&#8217;s share (around 94% ) of whisky sales. But there is going to be a Roseisle Single Malt one day. It is too early to tell in which style those bottlings are going to be, heavy, light, or a mix of both, Dr. Jim Beveridge said (Master Blender).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3440" title="Roseisle external night" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night-300x129.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="129" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night-300x129.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night-150x64.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Roseisle-external-night.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Does Roseisle pose a threat to the other distilleries? If no major slump in demand for whisky occurs the opposite will be the case. DIAGEO can bottle more whisky as Single Malt from their other 27 distilleries than they could before because of Roseisle&#8217;s huge output (which isn&#8217;t much bigger than at Glenfiddich, by the way). And that is great news. In <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Whisky-Time-Watch-Clock.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3442" title="Whisky Time Watch Clock" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Whisky-Time-Watch-Clock-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Whisky-Time-Watch-Clock-300x224.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Whisky-Time-Watch-Clock-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Whisky-Time-Watch-Clock.jpg 682w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>today&#8217;s whisky world there is room for a distillery like Roseisle on the one end and for Bruichladdich on the other. Let&#8217;s embrace this diversity. Modernism becomes tradition with time.</p>
<p>Here are some transparencies from a presentation about Roseisle which I could photograph that explain the production process in more detail. Thanks to DIAGEO&#8217;s own Nick, Brian, Pat and Duncan for this generous insight and parts of the information given here.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Love is in the Air</strong></p>
<p>The more I deal with whisky, the more I see that <strong>it is a living product</strong>. I just had another experience concerning the improvement of a <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/short-post-decanting-whiskey/cyclone-shaker/" rel="attachment wp-att-750"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-750" title="cyclone shaker" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cyclone-shaker-117x150.jpg" alt="" width="117" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cyclone-shaker-117x150.jpg 117w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cyclone-shaker-235x300.jpg 235w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cyclone-shaker.jpg 353w" sizes="(max-width: 117px) 100vw, 117px" /></a>whisky just by being open a day and being able to breathe some air.</p>
<p>Aeration (shaking) or preopening bottles before the actual tasting can really make a difference, <strong>especially with ex-sherry or wine drams</strong>. That is why I usually open the bottles for a tasting two weeks in advance.</p>
<p><strong>What a Difference a Day Makes &#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Yesterday, I rated the Tobermory MMD for Flickenschild at 88 points. Today, I retasted it for fun&#8217;s sake and it was really <span id="more-745"></span><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/short-post-decanting-whiskey/oxygen-decanting/" rel="attachment wp-att-751"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-751" title="Oxygen Decanting" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Oxygen-Decanting.jpg" alt="" width="48" height="120" /></a>more integrated, coherent and round. Amazing for one day, isn&#8217;t it. I should try this more often because I have <strong>noticed this effect several times before</strong>. But be warned: I also was a witness to a fragile 1966 Bladnoch by Signatory that fell apart after six weeks. So make sure the dram you decant/aerate is not too delicate.</p>
<p><strong>Time is on my Side (or: The Phenomenon of Bottle Aging)</strong></p>
<p>This also happens with unopened bottles over years: <strong>They usually improve</strong>. Many experienced whisky connoisseurs in the field of antique whiskies can tell you stories about this phenomenon. Bottlers, who really know their drams, also subscribe to this theory. Silvano Samaroli is one of them. He once mentioned how different, and mostly better, his whiskies had become. As I bottle<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/short-post-decanting-whiskey/oxygen-molecule/" rel="attachment wp-att-752"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-752" title="oxygen molecule" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/oxygen-molecule-138x150.jpg" alt="" width="138" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/oxygen-molecule-138x150.jpg 138w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/oxygen-molecule.jpg 277w" sizes="(max-width: 138px) 100vw, 138px" /></a> whisky myself (the Regensburg annual releases), which I try excessively before they go into the bottle, I have noticed positive changes in the closed bottles over time as well (e.g. <strong>a rounding effect on powerful peaty drams, better integration of all elements</strong>, etc.). So it might very well be that today&#8217;s good drams are becoming legends in the future. That is why I put away some Laphroaigs and Lagavulins for an aging experiment. This effect <strong>also works with other spirits</strong>.</p>
<p>If you want to read more about this, check out the Malt Maniacs E-Pistles. I will also write more about this aging effect -may it be short or long term &#8211; soon.</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>
<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>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><strong>Jim Beam &#8218;Red Stag&#8216; (40%) and Winter Jack (15%) as the New Highlights in a Series of Ever-Stronger Alcopops<br />
</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_574" style="width: 70px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/2011/09/discussion-lifestyle-whisky-weird-and-dangerous-drinks/jack-daniels-winter-jack/" rel="attachment wp-att-574"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-574" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-574  " title="jack daniel's winter jack" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jack-daniels-winter-jack-46x150.jpg" alt="" width="60" height="195" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jack-daniels-winter-jack-46x150.jpg 46w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jack-daniels-winter-jack-92x300.jpg 92w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/jack-daniels-winter-jack.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 60px) 100vw, 60px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-574" class="wp-caption-text">Winter Jack Apple Whiskey Punch: Can you hear the cash register&#39;s bell jingle yet?</p></div>
<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>
<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>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><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>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>&#8230;oder: Die Krux mit der persönlichen Preisgrenze</h4>
<p>Sollten Sie auch noch zu den Menschen gehören, die keine Platin-VISA-Karte haben, ja sogar für ihr Geld arbeiten müssen, dann wird dieser Artikel sie bestimmt interessieren. <strong>Es geht um die individuelle Preisobergrenze für eine Flasche Whisky.</strong></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" title="WEB-Dieser-Whisky-ist-zu-te" src="http://www.finest-spirits.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/WEB-Dieser-Whisky-ist-zu-te-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>Immer wieder erfahre ich in Gesprächen mit Whiskytrinkern, dass sie eine gewisse <strong>Obergrenze</strong> haben, was den Preis der von ihnen gekauften Whiskyflaschen angeht. Diese rangiert je nach Erfahrung gewöhnlich <strong>zwischen 50 und 300 Euro.<span id="more-224"></span></strong></p>
<p>Im ersten Moment erscheint ein solches Limit durchaus sinnvoll, denn es handelt sich schließlich nur um Schnaps – wie kann überhaupt eine Flasche so viel kosten. Und so kauft man sich <strong>lieber vier Flaschen zu 50 Euro anstatt eine für das Vierfache</strong>.</p>
<p>Auch ich hatte mir diese Obergrenze zu Beginn meiner Zeit als Whiskygenießer gesetzt – und diese kontinuierlich nach oben verschoben, je mehr Whiskys ich kennenlernte. Denn es gibt eben diese ganz besonderen Tropfen, die bewusstseinserweiternde Fähigkeiten haben und alle zuvor getrunkenen Whiskys in Frage stellen. <strong>Man lernt diese Malts auch erst durch Trinkerfahrung zu schätzen</strong>, weshalb die kontinuierliche Verschiebung nach oben eine natürliche Entwicklung darstellt.</p>
<h4>Viele machen einen Denkfehler!</h4>
<p>Dann passiert aber bei vielen Whiskyfreunden ein entscheidender Denkfehler. Man muss sich die Situation folgendermaßen vorstellen: Ein Tasting-Teilnehmer verliebt sich in einen der ausgeschenkten Whiskys und würde ihn gerne erstehen, weil er noch nie etwas Besseres getrunken habe. Als er jedoch den Preis der Flasche erfährt, der beispielsweise <strong>bei 150 Euro liegt, zuckt er zusammen</strong> und sagt kategorisch: „Nein, das liegt über meinem persönlichen Limit! Leider kann ich mir diese Traumflasche nicht leisten.“ Am gleichen Abend kauft er sich aber eine oder zwei Flaschen, die innerhalb seines Preissegmentes liegen und geschmacklich „recht gut“ waren.</p>
<p><strong>Rein wirtschaftlich betrachtet hat der Mann recht, aber ist Whiskygenuss nicht mehr?</strong> Entgeht ihm da nichts? Will man denn bei jedem Schluck wissen, was er kostet? Manche sagen: „Zu teurer Whisky schmeckt mir nicht!“ Ich finde, diese Aussage fußt auf einer falschen Sicht. Warum muss denn ein sinnlicher Genuss durch ständige Gedanken an den Preis zerstört werden? <strong>Wer fährt schon Achterbahn und denkt während der Fahrt stets an die 5 Euro</strong> Fahrtkosten anstatt an den Thrill der Fahrt? Aber dies ist wohl eine Typfrage. Ich kenne auch Leute, die die Speisekarte nach Kosten-Nutzen durchgehen, nicht nach ihrem momentanen Geschmack. Solche Zeitgenossen sparen zwar Geld, vermissen aber das Wesentliche: den Genuss: Sie entwickeln sich aufgrund solcher Preisdogmen nicht weiter und verpassen höchste Gaumenfreuden.</p>
<h4>Das Bessere ist der Feind des Guten&#8230;</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" title="WEB-Dieser-Whisky-ist-zu-teu" src="http://www.finest-spirits.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/WEB-Dieser-Whisky-ist-zu-teu-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></p>
<p>Ich kann ihnen nur den Tipp geben, sich gelegentlich etwas zu gönnen. Denn das Bessere ist der Feind des Guten und Genussmomente sind in unserer hektischen Zeit selten geworden. Eine besondere Flasche Whisky hält sich meist doch über ein Jahr und gibt stets einen Anlass zur Freude im grauen Alltag. <strong>Schlagen sie bei ihrer Traumflasche zu, sie werden es nicht bereuen</strong>, es sei denn, sie denken beim Trinken stets an den Preis!</p>
<p>Hierbei sei erwähnt dass meine Äußerungen nicht auf die <strong>preistreiberischen Ausnahmen der Whiskyindustrie</strong>, also ungerechtfertigt hohe Preise, zutreffen. <strong>Probieren sie stets, bevor sie kaufen!</strong></p>
<p>Angenommen sie haben eine Abfüllung entdeckt, die ihr Trinkerherz zum Klingen bringt, aber etwas mehr als ihre bisher gekauften Flaschen kostet. Wollen sie sich dieses Elixier wirklich entgehen lassen, dafür aber zwei „relativ gute“ andere Flaschen austrinken? Und was heißt dabei „relativ“? &#8211; verglichen mit dem Preis? Beeinflusst dabei der Schnäppchengedanke den  Whiskygeschmack positiv mit? Dann würde ja der relativ günstige Ben Bracken vom Discounter einen wunderbaren Dram abgeben.</p>
<p><strong>Wenn ich gefragt werde, ob ein Brora 30y.o. seine 300.- oder ein Lagavulin 21y.o. die 250.- Euro wert sind, muss ich klar „ja“ sagen</strong>. Dasselbe gilt beispielsweise für einen Auchentoshan 1965 aus dem Einzelfass oder für so viele gesuchte Raritäten, die inzwischen zu Recht ihre hohen Preise erzielen.</p>
<p>Mein Fazit: Wer Genuss kategorisch in Relation zum Preis setzt, verpasst die besten Whiskys und den ureigensten Sinn dieser Beschäftigung!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Ist die Verdünnung von Spirits eine hohe Kunst? Ja und nein &#8211; jedenfalls ist dies ein umstrittenes Thema</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" title="zu Whiskyschorle - Whiskyschorle 1" src="http://www.finest-spirits.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/zu-Whiskyschorle-Whiskyschorle-1-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="240" /></p>
<p>Geht man in Schottland in einen typischen Pub, so findet man dort immer wieder Whiskytrinker, die ihren edlen Dram – meist in der Maßeinheit ‚fifth of a gill’ &#8211; <strong>mit zwei Dritteln Wasser auffüllen</strong>: „It’s a wee bit smootha n’ slips dun’ well“, mag man da als geschockter Single Malt-Genießer entgegen gelallt bekommen. <strong>Zu solch einer Schorle mag auch Eis ganz gut passen</strong>, sie mag auch recht gut wirken, doch hinter die Geheimnisse der aromatischsten Spirituose der Welt wird man auf diese Weise nicht kommen.  <strong>Doch wie &#8211; wenn überhaupt &#8211; sollte man Whisky und andere fassstarke Spirituosen verdünnen?<span id="more-205"></span></strong></p>
<h4>Sie entscheiden, wie Sie Whisky trinken!</h4>
<p>Diese Frage ist so pauschal nicht zu beantworten. <strong>Lassen Sie sich von Macho-Statements nichts vormachen</strong> wie „Trink nur fassstark, das ist Whisky wie Gott ihn gemeint hat“. Es is zwar richtig, dass die besten Single Malts diejenigen sind, die trotz ihrer Fassstärke perfekte Trinkbarkeit aufweisen trinkbar und ihre Aromenvielfalt uneingeschränkt preisgeben. Doch dies ist nicht immer der Fall. Und dann kann Wasser helfen. <strong>Es kommt hauptsächlich auf zwei Faktoren beim Verdünnen an: Ihre Erfahrungen/Trinkgewohnheiten und den entsprechenden Whisky</strong> (40% oder fassstark bis zu 64%).</p>
<p>Zunächst ist zu sagen, dass <strong>Whiskygenuss höchst individuell</strong> ist. Man macht hier also nichts falsch und sollte verschiedene Ansätze für sich probieren. Schon beim Riechen mag dem einen der Alkohol, der aus dem Glas aufsteigt, zu stark sein, andere hängen mit ihrer Nase förmlich im Glas, um die Nuancen zu erschnüffeln. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt sollte man aber noch nicht verdünnen, verändern sie zunächst nur ihren Abstand zum Glas und bewegen es von einem Nasenflügel zum anderen.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" title="zu-Whiskyschorle---Pipette-" src="http://www.finest-spirits.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/zu-Whiskyschorle-Pipette-.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="318" /></p>
<h4>Wasser ist absolut kein Tabu!</h4>
<p>Sollten sie bemerken, dass der Whisky deutlich verschlossen und eindimensional wirkt, können anfangs <strong>ein bis fünf Tropfen zum Aufschließen der Aromen</strong> hilfreich sein. Gerade sehr hochprozentige Malts neigen zu stumpfen Profilen – wobei es aber auch Ausnahmen gibt. Ich habe schon 63-prozentige Islay-Malts unverdünnt getrunken, weil sie mild wirkten oder 40-prozentige Lowland-Whiskys mit Wasser bespritzt, um ihnen die Schärfe zu nehmen. Ebenso habe ich Nachbarfässer der gleichen Brennerei verkostet und nur einem aus Notwendigkeit Wasser zugefügt. Demzufolge kann man im Vorfeld nur durch Erfahrungswerte schätzen, ob ein Whisky Verdünnung benötigt. Erst beim Trinken bekommt man die Antwort, die auch auf einen selbst zugeschnitten ist.</p>
<p>Beim ersten Schluck kann man nämlich am Geschmack bemerken, ob ein Whisky allgemein zugänglich ist, wenn man einmal von den unterschiedlichen Trinkgewohnheiten absieht. <strong>Durch Verdünnung verliert man zwar etwas von der Intensität, gewinnt aber oft enorme Aromenfülle</strong> (gewisse Noten drängen in den Vordergrund, neue tauchen auf, Harmonie und Milde oder Cremigkeit kann sich einstellen) – falls es sich nicht um einen „Nichtschwimmer“ handelt. Denn es gibt Destillate, die mit Wasser einfach nur verlieren. Da gibt es leider keinen Weg zurück.</p>
<h4>Was ist die ideale Trinkstärke?</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" title="zu Whiskyschorle - Alambic Brennblase 2" src="http://www.finest-spirits.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/zu-Whiskyschorle-Alambic-Brennblase-2-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></p>
<p>Gibt es denn keine ideale Trinkstärke, denn viele Whiskys haben 40%, 43% oder 46%? Oder sollte ich nur Fassstärke kaufen? Hierzu eine kleine Anekdote: <strong>Bei einer Maltmaniacs-Veranstaltung wurde von uns ein Pflaumenbrand in einer Alambic destilliert.</strong> Ich nahm mit einem Maniac-Kollegen an der Verdünnungsverkostung teil, bevor der Brand in Flaschen abgefüllt wurde. Das Prozedere lief folgendermaßen: Der fertige hochprozentige Brand (ca. 30l) befand sich in einer Wanne und wurde schrittweise mit destilliertem Wasser auf Trinkstärke verdünnt. Bei jeder Zugabe von Wasser verkosteten wir und gaben entsprechende weitere Anweisung. Nach einer Weile hatten wir den für uns perfekten Mix aus Intensität und Komplexität erreicht. Ein herrlicher Trinkgenuss. Beim Messen des Alkoholgehalts kam eine krumme Zahl heraus, weshalb noch ein paar Tropfen (!) Wasser zugegeben wurden: Schock! Der Brand war danach um Klassen schwächer. <strong>Wir konnten nicht glauben, dass eine so geringe Menge das Gesamtergebnis so negativ beeinflussen konnte.</strong></p>
<p>Daher empfiehlt es sich beim Verkosten zu experimentieren. Fassstarke Whiskys geben einem hierbei natürlich mehr Spielraum. Doch auch Malts in Trinkstärke lassen sich gelegentlich mit Gewinn verdünnen. Die Feindosierung erleichtert beispielsweise eine Pipette, auch wenn einige Schotten uns dafür auslachen: „Ah, the German way of drinking!“, habe ich mir schon öfters anhören müssen. Doch für mich hat es sich immer gelohnt, den Geschmack zu optimieren. Besser als eine Glenmorangie-Schorle ist es allemal.</p>
<p><strong>TIPPS:</strong></p>
<p>1)    Warten sie aber im Falle einer Verdünnung ca. 30 Sekunden, bis der Whisky das Wasser aufgenommen hat</p>
<p>2)    Verwenden sie stilles und insbesondere weiches Wasser, es muss aber kein schottisches Quellwasser sein</p>
