										<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>

<p>Sehen Sie auch unseren<strong> youtube-Kanal </strong>und unsere<strong> facebook-Seite</strong> sowie die<strong> Galerie </strong>ein, um einen Eindruck zu bekommen.

										<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>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>
<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>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>
<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>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>

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>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>
