Get U Highbenzonatate

honey & Smoke - New bottlings from The Whisky Chamber

Just in time for the first sun rays and the Whisky Fair in Limburg are this week from Scotland, two new single malts for my Whisky Chamber came bottlings :

A new Highland Park and a mild, fruity Mortlach as representatives from the Speyside.

is the Mortlach - I think - great for sunny and balmy summer evenings and the powerful Highland Park rather for a "cool" summer night: so no matter how the summer - we are ready.

Tasting notes

TWC Mortlach
19 years, from 1990 to 2010
46% vol, Sherry Butt refill

region. Speyside
color: light gold
Aroma: a sweet fruity, pear & mash (slightly acidic), malt
Taste: fruity pear (pome fruit), slightly sweet
finish: medium length with a round sweetness - it needs some air to unfold


TWC Highland Park

20 years, 1990-2010
46% vol, Sherry Butt

region. Islands
Color: Copper
Aroma: intense smoke, sweet herbs (honey) and clearly Toffee ( Fudge)
Taste: herbs, a round of sherry sweetness, fire ruin
finish: toffee and a touch of "Fire Ruin" remain very long on the palate liable


The first "Vortasting" it is this weekend with whiskey friends in Munich provide. I look forward to their impressions.
