Unlike most Brühler Whiskyhaus' bottlings from Scotland, this one does not belong
to the A Dream of Scotland range. This is a Charity Bottling for the
benefit of Restaurant Bahnsteig 1 located in Mayschoss in Germany, which
serves traditional German food. It's a 1st Fill Madeira Cask Finish,
but we don't know which was the first maturation, Bourbon certainly. 354
bottles were crafted, undoubtedly from a Single Cask, since it is written
without the plural on the label.
Let's Taste It :
Salty freshness typical of the distillery, barley sugar, beautiful ashy
smoke. We are in familiar territory. It's very sweet, molasses, marzipan,
chestnut cream. Mirabelles and greengages. Blackberries,
cherries, which become prominent on the palate, with a nice woodiness,
then spices, nutmeg, cumin, cardamom. Dates, chocolate. Undergrowth,
heather. Fairly long finish, where the nutmeg stands out, a bit of honey, soft caramel, soy milk. Nut.
In Short,
Madeira is heavier than wine, but less than Port. Less sweet too. The
result is pleasant, without hiding the distillery's hallmarks. Unfortunately, this little thing is sold out, and the
price on the secondary market is excessive.
