Chapter 20: Whisky

Glen Moray Peated (SC)

Alcohol: 40%

The Glen Moray distillery was built on the foundations of the West Brewery, which dates back to 1828. The brewery became historic thanks to Macdonalds & Muir’s experiments with wood finishing, as this was the first time they experimented with maturation in wine barrels.

Rich peat smoke merges with the traditional Glen Moray aromas of oak and vanilla. The smoke complements the fruity, sweet flavour palette perfectly and makes the whiskey wonderfully complex.

25ml – 3.50 EUR
50ml – 6.50 EUR

Wild Turkey 101 Rye (US)

Alcohol: 50.5%

Aroma: Intense vanilla and caramel. Behind it is warm smoke and spices.

Taste: Powerful and spicy on the tongue. Sweet toffee and caramel give way to cereal notes, some smoke and pepper.

Finish: Long-lasting with oak spice and smoke.

This Wild Turkey 101 Rye comes with 101 proof, a strong 50.5% vol. into the bottle. In order to live up to the name Straight Rye, at least 51% rye must be used in production. The storage took place in fresh, heavily burned oak barrels made of American white oak. No information is given about age. The first impression is full of vanilla, honey and brown sugar. It’s drier than bourbon, but that’s exactly what gives it that extra kick.

Price:
25ml – 4.00 EUR
50ml – 7.50 EUR

TEELING SMALL BATCH RUM CASK FINISH (IE)

Alcohol: 50.5%

This Whiskey challenges the convention of what an Irish Whiskey can be, with layers of unique flavour influenced by unconventional cask maturation techniques.
Hand-selected casks of grain and malt whiskey are initially fully aged in Ex-Bourbon barrels, then married together in Central American Rum casks for up to 12 months for a unique, dried fruit profile.

Tasting notes:
An inviting nose where vanilla and spice dance with bright sweet notes of Rum.
The palate has a solid Rum influence that creates a unique smooth, sweet and slightly woody marriage that sparkles on the tongue. Exotic fruit notes push through as well, with a sweet spicy finish complimented by lingering woody undertones.

Price:
25ml – 4.25 EUR
50ml – 8.00 EUR

Teeling Blackpitts Irish Single Malt Whisky (IE)

Alcohol: 46%

The Blackpitts from Ireland was made from barley malt and comes in the glass with a decent 46.0% ABV. This whiskey conjures up images of lush green meadows, rugged cliffs and cozy pub scenes. The lack of dyes and cold filtration shows the high quality. A real tip for lovers of peated whiskeys. Classically, Blackspitts was triple distilled. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels, it was finished in Sauternes white wine barrels.

25ml – 6.25 EUR
