Balblair 2022

Der hier reifte seit 2006 in einem Amontillado Sherry Fass und wurde für The Whisky Shop abgefüllt. Uncle Google says: Amontillado is a unique wine produced from the complete fermentation of palomino grape must. The fruit of the fusion of two different types of ageing processes (both biological and oxidative), Amontillado is resultingly an extraordinarily complex and interesting sherry. - Don’t expect perfection at first. Colour: Old amber in hue. Glasses: Luxbe (Snifter like), Blenders Glass. Mood: Alles wird gut. Series: Studio Ghibli. Nose nach 3h: reife Aprikosen, candied fruits, alle möglichen: Ananas, Cocos, Ingwer. Dunkle Früchte, getrocknete Früchte, Äpfel, Rosinen, Datteln. Crème brûlée? Who knows? Lübecker Marzipan Manufaktor, fleißige Hände kneten die Zuckermandelmischung in Form. Jammy. Weihnachtsgewürze? No, Orient, Teig, Gewürze aus Persien, persisches Gebäck. Mouth: Marzipan, Walnüsse, Studentenfutter. Einige Salzkörner finden ihren Weg nicht. Oolong Tee mit viel dunklem Kandis. Ölig. Die persischen Gebäcke, Dattelpaste. Turn Your Face Toward the Sun, and the Shadows Fall Behind You. Finish: Waldboden, staubige Steinpilze, frisch gebrühter Kaffee. Klebrig süße Feigen. Ein kleiner Kentucky Hugh. "Trees and people used to be good friends." - My Neighbor Totoro.
Golden liquid bliss,
Whisky warms the soul within,
Sip, savor, repeat.

This one has been matured in an Amontillado Sherry cask since 2006 and was bottled for The Whisky Shop. Uncle Google says: Amontillado is a unique wine produced from the complete fermentation of palomino grape must. The fruit of the fusion of two different types of ageing processes (both biological and oxidative), Amontillado is resultingly an extraordinarily complex and interesting sherry. - Don't expect perfection at first. Colour: Old amber in hue. Glasses: Luxbe (Snifter like), Blenders Glass. Mood: Everything will be fine. Series: Studio Ghibli. Nose after 3h: ripe apricots, candied fruits, all kinds: Pineapple, coconut, ginger. Dark fruits, dried fruits, apples, sultanas, dates. Crème brûlée? Who knows? Lübeck Marzipan Manufaktor, industrious hands knead the sugared almond mixture into shape. Jammy. Christmas spices? No, Orient, dough, spices from Persia, Persian pastry. Mouth: marzipan, walnuts, trail mix. Some grains of salt don't find their way. Oolong tea with lots of dark candy. Oily. Persian pastries, date paste. Turn Your Face Toward the Sun, and the Shadows Fall Behind You. Finish: forest floor, dusty porcini mushrooms, freshly brewed coffee. Sticky sweet figs. A little Kentucky Hugh.

Golden liquid bliss,
Whisky warms the soul within,
Sip, savor, repeat.
