The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
It took a while since our distillery visit for me to present a detailed look at one of the Teeling whiskeys. Therefore, I came up with a drink which is a combination of two of my favourite Whiskey Sour variations, and it uses the Teeling Single Malt! This means the recipe includes amaretto and fortified […]
Every year all spirit nerds and rum aficionados are waiting for the new Single Casks releases from Plantation Rum. This year I choose the Plantation Guatemala X.O. with a rather special finish for presenting. That being said, for Ferrand the South American wood Amburana almost is a common cask type. Nevertheless, the rum has a […]
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 […]
The renown eau de vie distillery Farthofer also started to produce whiskys. While on first glance this might seem like nothing really new, the degree to which the whisky is produced in-house is still something special. Josef Farthofer grows eight different heirloom grain varieties on his fields and also built his own malting. This is […]
Obviously, I could not visit the Slyrs distillery, without creating a cocktail using one of their single malts. This is why I am presenting the Bavarian Smash to you today. It basically is a highproof version of my PX Jerez Smash. Nevertheless, because of the Slyrs 51, it is noticeably different.
I have been to a few distilleries so far. However, I never visited a pure whisky distillery. So, just I had to visit the Slyrs Bavarian Single Malt distillery when I was in the neighbourhood. The home of the Slyrs Single Malt is absolutely worth a visit. Here is the full story of the Bavarian […]
Believe it or not, but this cocktail actually was inspired by a cold remedy. When my sister gave me a cough drop, I noticed that rough Icelandic / Islay notes go very well with sweet cassis flavours. Luckily, with the latest Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition (DE), I had just the right single malt on hand! Of […]
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!
Nowadays it is possible to get single malt not only from Scotland, but also from all over the world! However, even here on the continental mainland of Europe there are a some countries producing high quality whisky and single malt for that matter. In this case, I am talking about the G. Rozelieures Fumé Collection […]
While everyone (bartender) loves bourbon and rye whiskey, they easily forget about other interesting whiskey categories from the States. There is a growing number of corn, Tennessee and wheat whiskies from a few big producers and an uncountable number of small, craft distilleries. Of course, demand determines supply and so it is no wonder that […]
