										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Immer wieder fragen mich Leute nach Tipps zu gelungenen Drams, die noch bezahlbar sind. Und in der Tat wird es schwerer, faire und dennoch spannende Whiskys zu finden. Umso schöner ist es dann, wenn echte Urgesteine der Whisky-Szene mal eigene Fässer teilen, die sie bewusst ausgesucht haben.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/St_Kilian_Private_Cask_666-09008.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11074" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/St_Kilian_Private_Cask_666-09008-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/St_Kilian_Private_Cask_666-09008-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/St_Kilian_Private_Cask_666-09008-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/St_Kilian_Private_Cask_666-09008-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/St_Kilian_Private_Cask_666-09008-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/St_Kilian_Private_Cask_666-09008.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Unser lieber Freund Stefan Bügler &#8211; einer dieser Menschen, die die Freude am Whisky großzügig teilen und einfach angenehme Zeitgenossen sind &#8211; ermöglicht Euch nun einen Blick hinter den Vorhang mit drei wirklich exklusiven Whiskys von St. Kilian, die das Potenzial der Brennerei zeigen. Passend zur Idee heißt diese Serie &#8218;Whisky Folks&#8216;. Jede Abfüllung für sich ist eine Empfehlung und interpretiert das Rüdenauer &#8218;Water of Life&#8216;, gebrannt am gleichen Tag &#8211; völlig anders &#8211; durch die Wahl der Fässer:  sehr hoher Lerneffekt &#8230; when the peat meets the sweet &#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>St. Kilian &#8218;peated&#8216; PX-Hogshead 666 (American Oak), 18. Januar 2017 &#8211; 30. April 2021, Whisky Folks Private Cask, 433 btl., 60,0%</strong></span></p>

Und da ich gerne handfeste Vergleiche mag, dies wäre der Ardbeg der drei Fässer (hinkender Vergleich, aber Ähnlichkeiten), die Geschmacksfarbe wäre braun. Torf, süße BBQ-Sauce und Jod, Reifen und Teer, dann Pinienharz, antiseptisches Spray, Spur Vulkanschwefel, Kreide, Kalk, Waffenöl, alte Hütte, Stall, Kaffee, auch Zitrusfrüchte, Datteln und Rosinen &#8211; dazu eine diskrete Sherrynote, die im Geschmack wesentlich deutlicher wird und gut eingewoben ist. Am Gaumen gesellen sich außerdem Leder, Pflaumen und Burnout-Reifenspuren hinzu, ein BBQ am Torf-Bauernhof. Gebt ihm Zeit, tolle Entwicklung, langer Abgang. Sweet peat, dirty core &#8211; 666 eben. Noch zu haben für 69,90 Euro (siehe Link unten).</p>
<p><strong>Score: 89</strong></p>

Ich befürchtete zuerst eine zu krasse Holzigkeit, da diese Fässer echt enorme Kraft ausspielen, doch hier hat es spitze funktioniert. Dies wäre der Caol Ila der Serie, um bei diesen Vergleichen zu bleiben, seine Geschmacksfarbe wäre ein blasses Gelb. Wir haben hier neben dem Torf eine Mineralik, Austern mit Zitrone, Grapefruit, Mentholfrische, Wacholder, Olivenöl, Kunstleder, weißer Pfeffer, etwas Jod, Anklänge von Mezcal, Gurke, Eisen. Gelegentlich kommen durch das kleine Fass sogar Rum- und Bourbonanklänge durch, Kokos, Vanille, Marshmallow und Gewürzkaugummi (Zimt, Kardamom). Eine echt ungewöhnliche Nase, die gefällt, aber Zeit braucht. Am Gaumen ist der Cowboy kristallklar, leicht trocken, jodig und mineralisch, das Holz ist in genau der richtigen Dosis eingesetzt worden, auch Frucht kommt schön durch. <a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Garrison-Cask.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11077" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Garrison-Cask-150x147.png" alt="" width="150" height="147" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Garrison-Cask-150x147.png 150w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Garrison-Cask-300x295.png 300w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Garrison-Cask.png 704w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Im Abgang wird er dann süßer und lässt die tolle Aromen-Kombination nochmals aufscheinen. Feines Ding. Für 74,90 Euro noch erhältlich (siehe Link unten).</p>

Industriehalle, Gummistiefel im Torf, Traktorreifen, Kräuter, gereifter Parmigiano, pilziger Waldboden im Herbst, Tannenharz, gesägter Baumstamm, Feuerstein und Mineralik kommen später dazu, auch Wildleder und kandierte Orange. Der edle Sherry bringt dunkle Früchte wie Trauben, Trockenpflaumen, Datteln und Sultaninen mit ein. Am Gaumen zeigt dieses Fass gute Balance, alles hallt wieder in leichter Trockenheit, Sherry, Würze und Teer kämpfen und umspielen die Geschmacksknospen, die im Abgang mit einer dezente Süße von jodigem Charakter und Salz versöhnt werden. 74,90 Euro für diesen dunkleren Burschen, sie Link unten).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People often ask me about the &#8218;bang-for-your-buck bottlings&#8216;, those off the beaten track, single cask stuff at a fair price, absolute value. One I can recommend without blinking an<span id="more-4332"></span> eye is this Gordon &amp; MacPhail Highland Park and some of its sister bottlings from the &#8218;Reserve&#8216; series (also those from 1997), all of them being great allrounders of high quality. I have tried this dram with many groups of people and it could always convince. Although these bottles might be hard to find now it is worth seeking them out &#8211; in stores, that is, because in auctions they already fetch over 100 Euro. Let&#8217;s hope for more HP-Sauce to be released from the identical source at such prices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-GM-1996-2006.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4337" title="Highland Park G&amp;M 1996 - 2006" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-GM-1996-2006-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-GM-1996-2006-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-GM-1996-2006-112x150.jpg 112w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-GM-1996-2006-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-GM-1996-2006.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></a>Highland Park 10 y.o.

<p><strong>Comment:</strong> Great maritime freshness and discrete sherry, also herbal (thyme, minty menthol) and softly smoky. There also are aromas of cole slaw, heather and turkish delight in the well-balanced mix. Some tasters found traces of &#8218;Gletscher Eis&#8216; drops, an old German sweet with the so called freshness of a glacier. Mmmh. Isn&#8217;t it lovely how whisky aromas conjure up childhood memories. On the palate there is a lot of natural caramel in company with the already mentioned notes. A long finish<a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-Gordon-Macphail-1996-2006.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4339" title="Highland Park Gordon &amp; Macphail 1996 - 2006" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-Gordon-Macphail-1996-2006-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="180" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-Gordon-Macphail-1996-2006-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-Gordon-Macphail-1996-2006-112x150.jpg 112w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-Gordon-Macphail-1996-2006-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Highland-Park-Gordon-Macphail-1996-2006.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 135px) 100vw, 135px" /></a>, really an allrounder with so much going on, Scotland in a glass. I just bought another bottle for 59.- Euro a month ago.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91</strong>&#8211;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back from Munich&#8217;s Finest Spirits Festival 2012 (thanks for the many nice conversations and the great time) &#8211; in full spirits. We had a wonderful weekend there and found many potential partners. I am going to review some festival finds in the coming days, but until then here are some reviews that I still had in the drawer.<span id="more-2228"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Highland Park 1970 &#8211; 2010 OB &#8218;Orcadian Vintage&#8216; 48,0%</strong></span><strong><a href="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Highland-Park-Orcadian-Vintage-1970-close.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2231" title="Highland Park Orcadian Vintage 1970 close" src="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Highland-Park-Orcadian-Vintage-1970-close-109x150.jpg" alt="" width="109" height="150" srcset="https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Highland-Park-Orcadian-Vintage-1970-close-109x150.jpg 109w, https://www.slowdrink.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Highland-Park-Orcadian-Vintage-1970-close.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 109px) 100vw, 109px" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> A lesson in roundness, all is perfectly integrated, a  quite creamy-sweet dram lead by brighter fruits (pear, apricot) an<strong></strong>d <strong></strong>(dried) flowers, toffee, turkish delight, Grand Marnier, a whiff of mint and Fino Sherry. Darn good, but very expensive.<strong></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Score: 92+</strong></p>

Again I am getting the apricot and all that candyfloss jazz to be smelled at county fairs. This 1971 has a nicer oak influence but is a bit less complex than its predecessor from 1970. Anyway, great stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 92+</strong></p>

At espresso, nougat, the earthy spice, the army of dark fruits (morello cherries, dates, prunes), at polished oak or the maritime freshness? Mmh, let me just mention the single elements of this peacock&#8217;s tail of dark aromas. Hazelnuts, maritime freshness with a hint of peat, dry sherry, candyfloss and resin should not be forgotten therein. Wow!<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Palate:</strong> Coffee bean in chocolate at first, then dark wood, tobacco and the Sherry-influence (dark dry fruit) take over, even with some sulphur of the good kind. All is dark and brooding in a full-on attack with spice. Water can (but doesn&#8217;t have to) be added, which brings out the fruit more.</p>
<p><strong>Finish</strong>: Eternal! Tobacco and earthy peat meet dark wood and fruits. Like having a 100% chocolate with a fine Port.</p>
<p><strong>Score: 91</strong></p>
<p><strong>Comment:</strong> This chewy and potent malt is not for beginners, really. It is like a powerful sports car that needs an experienced driver. Quite rare, that such a power house also has such high complexity. This amazing single cask HP-Sauce doesn&#8217;t fit every day, but if it does, it is a real stunner.</p>
