Drambuie Liqueur 0,7L 40%

Old Pulteney Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur, 0.5 L, 35% The history of the Pulteney distillery The delicate Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur is distilled by the Scottish malt distillery Pulteney in the northern Highlands. More precisely in the village of Wick near the North Sea coast, making the Pulteney Distillery the northernmost on the Scottish mainland. The Pulteney distillery was built in 1826 by James Henderson and remained in family ownership until the 1920s. In the decades that followed, however, there were numerous changes of ownership and the distillery had to experience some ups and downs. Pulteney is currently operated by Inver House Distillers Ltd and, with an annual production volume of around 1,000,000 liters, is one of the smaller ones in Scotland. The whiskeys are distilled in just two stills. The Old Pulteney Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur The Stroma Whisky Liqueur is the successor to the now sought-after Old Pulteney Liqueur, which was slightly lighter in terms of alcohol content than the current bottling. The name of the liqueur is based on the small island of Stroma, off the north coast of Scotland. The Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur is intended to wash over the taste buds in the same way that the island is washed by the waves of the sea. The liqueur is produced using award-winning, strong malt whiskeys and lighter malt whiskeys. The different whiskeys are blended and then mixed with honey and various herbs and spices. The taste of the Old Pulteney Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur In the glass, the whiskey liqueur shimmers in a dark gold and smells of fine whiskey, sherry, honey and spicy herbs. On the palate, the liqueur has a clear, but not too strong, sweetness and robust, full-bodied and fruity notes. The aftertaste is medium-length and intensely warming. The Pulteney Distillery recommends enjoying the Stroma liqueur neat or on the rocks. A view that we support, but we at Drinkology.de would also like to point out that it can be used well in whiskey cocktails.

Black Velvet Toasted Caramel Liqueur 1.0L 35% Valleyfield, Quebec/Canada Since Canadian whiskeys have achieved a high status among connoisseurs, it is no wonder that this exceptional, flavoured whiskey liqueur comes from Canada. The flavouring process was copied from spiced rum and flavoured vodka. Black Velvet was bottled for the first time in 1955, but the history of Black Velvet goes back much further, to the times of the Second World War. There it was produced by Schenley Industries, which had its headquarters in the Empire State Building in New York. At that time, however, this whisky was still known under the name 'Black Label'. However, after master distiller Jack Napier tried the first whisky, he realised that a more expressive title was needed. He decided to choose a different name and the whisky was from then on known as 'Black Velvet' to emphasise its velvety character. In addition to rye, grain and corn, crystal-clear mountain water from Canada is also used for Black Velvet Whisky. It is already exported to more than 50 countries and is particularly popular in America. Pure Caramel The toffee and cream notes complement the woody whiskey aromas excellently. The nose is dominated by caramel, and the palate is full-bodied and lush. Anyone who thinks that this flavoured whiskey can only taste sweet with so many caramel and toffee notes is wrong. Black Velvet Toasted Caramel Whiskey scores with a pleasant, balanced sweetness and subtle pepper notes. The aftertaste is very creamy and has a long-lasting toffee taste. A really successful combination that you should definitely try. The Black Velvet Toasted Caramel Liqueur is based on the original Black Velvet Whiskey and has been flavored with roasted caramel. This added sweetness makes this Black Velvet more of a liqueur than a classic whiskey and is therefore ideal for cocktails. But there is absolutely nothing that can be said against the pure enjoyment of Black Velvet Toasted Caramel.

Southern Comfort Black 0.7L 40% Since 1874 The 'Southern Comfort' brand was founded in the early 1870s. Southern Comfort really should be put in quotation marks here, because Heron originally developed the drink from whiskey, local fruits and spices under the name 'Cuffs & Buttons'. It was only years later, out of local patriotism, that this was renamed the brand name we know today, 'Southern Comfort'. Black The new member of the Southern Comfort family is 'Black'. It stands for a more modern and rebellious brand. While the classic Southern Comfort mainly focuses on sweeter notes such as orange, vanilla and popcorn, there is a clear difference with Black. The focus here is definitely on the aroma of whisky. Spicy, strong notes of roasted oak are the first things you notice, closely followed by the well-known vanilla and spice notes of the classic. Nevertheless, it remains to be said that this is still a whisky liqueur and should definitely not be confused, compared or equated with a classic whisky. A small consumption recommendation on top: Pour approx. 6 cl Southern Comfort Black into a whisky glass filled with ice cubes. Now top up with ginger ale and garnish with a slice of fresh ginger.
