The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
As per usual, I am pretty late to review some samples from Which.de. However, they also publish a new Scottish Single Malt book out. So, I took this as an excuse to write about the recent whiskies and other bottlings.
The German whisky online shop Whic.de already bottles their own whisky. However, this edition is their first standard bottling. Following the current trend, the bottling is a heavily peated Islay Single Malt. So, let us see how the whisky turns out.
You can say many things about the folks at Whic.de, but that they are lazy is not one of them: Since my last review of their independently bottled whiskies they already released four new ones! Two of them belong to their “Amazing Whiskies” series and the other two to their “The War of the Peat” […]
I have to admit, when it comes to independently bottled whisky, I am far from being an expert. However, it is always fun to try a new bottling and trying to find the distillery character in it. At the same time, I do not come around to write about such whiskies as regularly as I […]
The next bottling in Whic.de’s “The War of the Peat” comes from Islay. It might even come as a surprise that this was not the first whisky in the range. – After all, when thinking of smoky whisky, Islay is the first thing that comes to mind! So, let us take a closer look at […]
I am sorry for the break here on the blog, but moving took up all of my time. However, now I am back with two independently bottled single malts. Both are bottled at cask strength and older than 10 years old. Whic.de got their hands on a barrel of eleven-year-old Glen Moray and a 17-year-old […]
This time in the irregularly appearing news section: Three different independently bottled single malts. All three of them are unchillfiltered, no colour is added, they have been finished in fortified wine casks and bottled at cask strength. So, it sounds like they are more than interesting to try!
For the second Spirited News in 2022, I am presenting a great Single Malt to you. It comes from a distillery which once was the biggest in Scotland. Apart from that, I also want to talk about a new book from Whisky Store Which.de where you can look up all your favourite Scottish distilleries.
Well, I came up with this drink as a kind of „Scotch Zombie“, but it did not quite make the cut into „Tropical Month“. While the drink is very good, it did not feel „tropical“ enough. Instead, it reminded me of a more powerful Penicillin Cocktail. This is why I am writing about it now […]
I am a big fan of Compass Box Whiskies. So, when they teamed up with Brewdog, another innovative brewery / distillery, I just had to try their whisky. The Compass Box Transistor was especially designed to work as a Boilermaker with the Brewdog Punk IPA. Apart from the Boilermaker, I also took inspiration from the […]
