whiskey is growing despite the economic crisis

suffers the economy, many people have lost your job, but Scotch Whisky defies the crisis and in particularly the United States at any rate 2009 is the Scottish Whisky exports to it in value by 13% to 418.8 million GBP grown - who would have thought.

still were the huge sales increases in Latin America (+18% 390 million GBP), where for example in Brazil equal to 44%, to 60 million pounds went upstairs. classify better

As a comparison, and these figures can, here the entire Scotch Whisky Export Market:
2008: 3056.9 million GBP
2009: 3133.4 million GBP (+3%)

Germany, with sales down 7% (from 110.7 to 103.2 million pounds) has not contributed to the positive result - just as Asia, where there was even a decline of 9% .

This is particularly remarkable, when all (including me) Asia seen as the great "new" market have. With the current huge economic growth in the countries in 2010 but it can also quickly look different, but also may have with the local producers with their own strong Whiskies played a role.

With this information, I understand very little, why did the Edrington Group last year shut down its Tamdhu distillery - where the market is booming, yet so, and especially in the Blended Scotch Whisky? Overall, I'm

quite surprised by the results, I would have expected that the sales decline overall and especially in the "old" markets due to the crisis stronger - and more than rise in Asia. But I am not a wise business and take it as is the main thing is, it will still produce good whiskey.

Wrestling Singlets Big And Tall

Slyrs - a German distillery, but how do you pronounce it?

The question of how this "Slyrs" pronounce it correctly, I imagine for quite some time and was able to finally spot clarify:

simply "streaks"

But that I would have also come to himself - after all it is indeed at the Schliersee.

Since 1999 the distillery was built from scratch produced, but now marketed exclusively as 3 years of "German whiskey.

's own drums (you do not use used bourbon barrels, or other) are then filled and stored for 12 years. From 2015 it will be the first time also be a 12 year old Slyrs.

the "Slyrs 3 years" I now have tried a few times, but I was able to arouse their enthusiasm for something obstlerartigen, sharp taste not so. 2015, I will determine the first 12 years of Slyrs but give another chance.

Although I personally taste not like it (something like that, there are also some Scottish whiskeys ...), but I must salute the 1A marketing performance.

The Distillery "Tour" is perfectly set up for visitors:

On one side is the mash fermentation & distillation and in front of - the visitor walks in the middle.
The open storage is also the tasting room and "tasting" will be served on a chic Degustationsbrettchen while when trying to look down the barrel storage (that's enough right now or for the entire production - an estimated 700 barrels) - a great atmosphere!

several distilleries in Scotland which can still learn something!

Tasting Notes : Slyrs 2006, 3 years, 43% vol.

nose very fruity (almost like a fruit brandy or "new make"), hay and slightly malty
Taste: some hay and quite dry on the palate, peppery and a distinct touch of wood

finish: medium and dry

Slainte and 2015 at the Schliersee

Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Impetigo

Whisky Ship Lucerne 2010 - a great experience

After many attempts, I finally geschaft to Lucerne on the Whisky ship! An ideal location as the dock directly in front of the station could have been found not to:

Get off the train just goes straight on - past a fragrant sausage stand (NO - stand firm and just do not confuse the taste buds, finally are still a few great drops are tried) - a traffic light and you're ready to go!

The exhibition is spread over three ships, which makes it very comfortable and clear. On one of the ships could be a nice choice for GlenFahrn their rare wines (many Dumpy Browns or Brown Label filling GordonMacPhail). A ship was apparently the "smoking lounge" where I'm not long left and on the third parties had various independent bottlers represented: including James McArthur Cadenhead, Spring Bank ...


was the special atmosphere of the show for me, therefore, that the whiskey town in Switzerland is very open-minded and you meet after one minute, the first whiskey friends:

The one known from the Whisky Club Lucerne, the other from TheWhiskyforum.ch and others are familiar faces in the fairs of Germany. Overall, it over 2300 visitors (+30% over the previous year) - she is such a small exhibition truly remarkable, especially since she was only open on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.

Since the glass is far from dry and you can hear like on recommendations.
me When it was the surprise of the day Ben Nevis by James MacArthur. I'm not a fan of the distillery, which can have but also leaned on the bad leadership two years ago ;-(, but has the barrel of JMA disabused me there Tasting Notes it can not -. It went no more, but he left a lasting impression ...! As soon as he bought and open, I will gladly furnish any Notes.

The bottom line for me: 2011 is the whiskey ship Lucerne is a must. Detlef

of the Smallest Whisky Bar here has already written a detailed report to the fair.
