Macallan 2000 - 2022

Glass: Blhas. Serie: The Last Kingdom. Mood: Kriegsmüde. Farbe: Cola, Schwarzer Ostfriesentee. Wetting: Blended Scotch Whisky Meadowside Blend MBl WB218929 und Wee Mongrel 19-year old LBDS WB222603. Fear Is Within All Of Us. As Is Strength. Habe große Angst den hier zu probieren, Angst echt enttäuscht zu werden. Courage Is Finding The Will To Overcome Your Fear, Nothing More. Nose nach 5h:  Die Wettingakteure habe ich maßlos unterschätzt, erweisen sich als wahre Aethelings. Dieses Scharmützel hat sich zu einem großen Kriegsschauplatz entwickelt und viel Zeit verschlungen. A King Must Be A King On His Own Terms. Sehr elegant hinterlistig entwickelt sich die Nase Cola-Sinalco, prickelnd, Colabrausetabletten von Ahoi ausgebraust. Datteln und Rumrosinen überschauen die Schlacht vom Rande. Der Kampf ist allerdings sehr undänisch, sehr vornehm. Die Aromen umschmeicheln die Nostrils, feinstes Mousse au Chocolat. Etwas Orange, Sahnebonbons. Ich halte das Schwert - pardon - das Glas mit beiden Händen, versuche die Nase noch tiefer zu versenken, eins zu werden mit diesem Geruch. Ein warmer Teppich aus purer Glückseligkeit. Jede Wahrnehmung eine aufgehende Knospe, jedes Aromenmolekül ein Feuerwerk an Dopaminen. Ein Hauch Tabak liegt in der Luft oder die letzten Rauchfahnen der letzten Schlacht. My Journey Continues, My Path Leads North to Blood Fields. Pilzpfanne mit Sahne, Piment, schwarzem Pfeffer und 3cl Ahornsirup. Quitten kochen gerade ein, wollen Marmelade werden. Zuckerwatte, türkischer Süßwarenladen. Stark gereifter Pfirsich, aufgeplatzte getrocknete Feigen, aus denen dickflüssig die Süße herausdrängt. Kräuter wie Rosmarin und Salbei duften vor sich hin. Mouth nach zeitlosen Stunden: Brauseprickeln, Pimentschärfe, Colapflanze, Coca-Cola, eingekochter Sirup aus 1-2 Pflaumen und 2 Äpfeln. Dänen greifen wieder an, One path looks like another. Pfefferschärfe, wuchtig aber süß. Ein Platz in Walhalla ist safe. Finish – Ende der Schlacht: brennend, Liebstöckel, adstringent. Espresso, starker Kaffee, Zartbitter Schokolade. Etwas Kardamom weiß nicht wohin. Dieser Whisky kann lieblich umschmeicheln oder gnadenlos unerwartet mit heftigen Aromen zuschlagen. “The future is fate, it won’t change. Destiny is all.” — Uhtred

Glass: Blhas. Series: The Last Kingdom. Mood: War weary. Color: Cola, Black East Frisian Tea.

Wetting: Blended Scotch Whisky Meadowside Blend MBl WB218929 and Wee Mongrel 19-year old LBDS WB222603. Fear Is Within All Of Us. As Is Strength. Very afraid to try this one, afraid to be really disappointed. Courage Is Finding The Will To Overcome Your Fear, Nothing More. Nose after 5h: I underestimated the wetting actors immeasurably, turn out to be true Aethelings. This skirmish has turned into a major war zone and has eaten up a lot of time. A King Must Be A King On His Own Terms. Very elegantly sneaky, the nose develops cola-sinalco, sparkling, caolabraus tablets of ahoy brewed out. Dates and rum raisins overlook the battle from the sidelines. The fight, however, is very un-Danish, very distinguished. The flavors caress the nostrils, finest chocolate mousse. Some orange, cream candy. I hold the sword - pardon - the glass with both hands, trying to sink the nose even deeper, to become one with this smell. A warm carpet of pure bliss. Each perception a bud bursting open, each aroma molecule a firework of dopamines. A hint of tobacco in the air or the last wisps of smoke from the last battle. My Journey Continues, My Path Leads North to Blood Fields. Mushroom pan with cream, allspice, black pepper and 3cl maple syrup. Quinces are cooking in, want to be jam. Cotton candy, Turkish candy store. Heavily ripened peach, burst dried figs with sweetness oozing thickly from them. Herbs such as rosemary and sage perfume ahead. Mouth after timeless hours: Effervescent tingle, allspice heat, cola plant, Coca-Cola, boiled down syrup of 1-2 plums and 2 apples. Danes attack again, One path looks like another. Peppery spiciness, powerful and sweet. A place in Valhalla is safe. Finish - end of battle: burning, lovage, astringent. Espresso, strong coffee, dark chocolate. A bit cardamom does not know where to go. This whisky can caress sweetly or strike mercilessly unexpectedly with fierce flavors. "The future is fate, it won't change. Destiny is all." - Uhtred

Glenfarclas 1990 S22 WB: 222589

Glenfarclas 1990

Der Mond geht auf, Nacht umhüllt das Leben, in das Glas fließt zähflüssig das kostbare Öl noch dunkler hinein, breitet sich in dein Herz und deine Gedanken aus. Im Hintergrund plärrt Amy Winehouse ‚Blaaack, Black, black. Dafür lebe ich, das suche ich, dafür gebe ich mein letztes Hemd, bin süchtig nach diesem düsteren geheimnisvollen Zaubertrank. Sich dafür zu begeistern ---is a loosing game. Should I go to Rehab But I say nooo, no, no…Das Ritual muss beginnen, alle Gedanken loslassen. Einatmen, ausatmen, der Preis! Okey – das ist Seppuku, das machen wir später. Während Amy weiter alles gibt, kommt der GF1990 S22 im Glas zur Ruhe und beobachtet bescheiden und wissend. Ich bereite mein Palate mit dem GF1991 S22 vor, ein unglaublicher eleganter Malt, allerdings ist der GF1990 eine völlig andere Welt, speaking of gleich beginnt meine Astralreise. Wie schnell 3h vergehen können, doch mir fallen für das hier keine Begriffe ein. Ab einer Wertung jenseits der 96 weigert sich meine olfaktorische Hirnrinde sich mit den ehrenhaften kognitiven Hirnlappen in Verbindung zu treten.  Neocortex, Amygdala, Striatum in Hochform, aber die Großhirnrinde wird überflutet von wittgensteinschen Neurotransmittern, worüber ich nicht reden kann, soll ich schweigen. Dopamin ist zur Genüge da – stünde nicht noch Seppuku an, was mir Tränen in die Augen schießen, mein D-Level sinken lässt. Die Nase: ein Haiku, unverständlich und doch schön, mystisch und fesselnd. Heute könnte ich sterben – werde ich, später. Was hält mich auf dieser Welt eigentlich noch? Amy hat alles richtig gemacht. Moment! Ein Tropfen dieses himmlischen Getränks hält mich, sagt: Bleib! Mund: Wenn Bodhisattvas die Erleuchtung erklären – ein Koan. Der Abgang ist süßes Gift, ewig lang, jede Millisekunde vergeht ein Universum, der*ie Allmächtige berührt dein Herz – alles wird gut. Je näher man der magischen Marke 100 kommt, löst sich alles in Unschärfe auf, Heisenberg lässt grüßen, Schrödinger trinkt mit seiner Katze. Kausalität existiert nicht mehr, Kang the Conqueror muss jetzt auch nicht sein. Ich nenne getrocknete Steinpilze, dunkle Früchte, doch das sind nur Buchstaben – geben nicht annähernd wieder, was ich empfinde. Ich schreibe Toffee und Tabak in der Nase, Zartbitterschokolade im Mund und Espresso im Abgang. Doch belanglosere Wörter hätte

ich nicht finden können. Wie beschreibt man eine Sinfonie in A-Moll und D-Dur gleichzeitig, piano und forte, largo und presto? Filigrane Saiten trotz Pauken und Trompeten, melancholische Oboe, begleitet von traurigen Klarinetten, Kontrabässe wuchtig, Violine hauchzart und eine zaghaft gezupfte Gitarre und Harfe komplettieren das Bild. Jeden Tag anderes, jeden Tag eine neue Seite. Dann und wieder schmettert eine Sopranistin eine Arie. Amy ist still. Das Glas ist leer. Irgendwo im Haus läuft Einaudi Una Mattina. Das Leben, ja manchmal traurig, geht doch weiter. “I don't ever wanna drink again I just, ooh, I just need a friend.” — Amy Winehouse

The moon rises, night is settling over life, into the glass viscously flows the precious oil even darker, spreads into your heart and thoughts. In the background Amy Winehouse whispers 'Blaaack, Black, black. This is what I live for, that is what I’m looking for, this is what I give the shirt off my back for, I'm addicted to this dark mysterious potion. To get excited about it ---is a loosing game. Should I go to Rehab But I say nooo, no, no...The ritual must begin, let go of all thoughts. Inhale, exhale, the price! Okey - that's seppuku, doing it later. As Amy performs in top form, the GF1990 S22 calms down in the glass, watching humbly and knowingly. Preparing my palate with the GF1991 S22, an incredibly elegant malt, but the GF1990 is a completely different world, speaking of my astral journey is about to begin. How quickly 3 hours can pass, but I can't think of any terms for this. From a rating beyond 96, my olfactory cortex refuses to connect with the honourable cognitive lobes.  Neocortex, amygdala, striatum in top form, but the cerebral cortex is awash with Wittgensteinian neurotransmitters, which I can't talk about, shall I keep quiet. There's enough dopamine - if it weren't for seppuku, which brings tears to my eyes and makes my D-level drop. The nose: a haiku, incomprehensible yet beautiful, mysterious and captivating. Today I could die - I will, later. What's keeping me in this world, anyway? Amy did everything right. Wait! A drop of this heavenly drink holds me, says: Stay! Mouth: When Bodhisattvas declare enlightenment - a koan. The finish is sweet poison, eternally long, every millisecond a universe passes, the Almighty touches your heart - all will be well. The closer you get to the magic mark of 100, everything dissolves into blurriness, Heisenberg sends his regards, Schrödinger drinks with his cat. Causality no longer exists; I name dried porcini mushrooms, dark fruit, but these are just letters - don't come close to reflecting what I feel. I write toffee and tobacco in the nose, dark chocolate in the mouth and espresso in the finish. But I couldn't have found more irrelevant words. How do you describe a symphony in A minor and D major at the same time, piano and forte, largo and presto? Filigree strings despite timpani and trumpets, melancholy oboe accompanied by sad clarinets, double basses massive, violin gossamer and a timidly plucked guitar and harp complete the picture. Every day different, every day a new page. Now and then a soprano belts out an aria. Amy is quiet now. The glass is empty. Somewhere in the house, Einaudi Una Mattina. Life, sometimes sad, goes on after all. "I don't ever wanna drink again I just, ooh, I just need a friend." - Amy Winehouse
