Abducted Malt Whisky 0,7L 40%
Abducted Malt Whisky 0.7L 40% The label on the whisky bottle alone suggests that this is a sensational whisky. The label shows a torn newspaper cutting with the headline: 'Abducted Malt Whisky'. In German this means something like 'Kidnapped Malt Whisky'. It's easy to imagine that this is worth a headline. This headline can be explained as follows: The malt whisky is produced in Scotland. After distillation it is 'abducted' to Jerez in Spain to mature in a selection of special sherry casks. You can choose from Amontillado, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks. Here a good third of the total whisky is divided into each type of cask, then it is matured for seven years. The maturation period is carried out using the typical Solera method. Flavours A special whisky with an exceptional character. It is very creamy and solid on the palate. The aromas are spicy to piquant, but all together they still make an elegant, well-rounded whisky. The finish is also a soft, round whisky with a medium-long finish. The notes of ripe berries and the influence of the sherry casks are evident in the form of a pleasant sweetness.

Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1, 0,375 L, 62,5%
Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1 0.375L 62.5% The Great Buffalo Trace In ancient times, when millions of bison roamed the steppes of North America, they left behind huge trails that sometimes stretched hundreds of kilometers across the entire country. One of these trails led to the Kentucky River and was called "The Great Buffalo Trace."The young man Hankock Lee once walked this trail and, together with a small group of settlers, founded what is now Frankfort (Kentucky) on the Kentucky River. The area was characterized by crystal-clear spring water and fertile farmland, and so Lee began growing corn and distilling bourbon whiskey. New start for the whiskey industry after Prohibition The quality of his spirits quickly spread throughout the country and Lee was able to invest in new techniques and built the distillery into one of the most modern in the entire country. When Prohibition was sealed in the United States in 1919, this meant the end for many distilleries, although the distillery founded by Lee, along with only three others, was allowed to continue producing neutral alcohol for medicinal purposes. Moonshine and White Dog - unaged whiskey With this history in mind, the distillery now known as Buffalo Trace produces this White Dog, which is intended to be reminiscent of the often illegally distilled, unaged whiskey that was available during Prohibition. White Dog, as the Americans call it, is nothing other than the new make or new spirit known from Scotland, i.e. unaged, freshly distilled whisky. In contrast to the moonshiners during Prohibition, this whisky is of course 100% of the highest quality and its taste is incredibly complex and clear despite the clearly noticeable spiciness. Exciting!

Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 Years, 0,7 L, 40%
Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 years 0.7L 40% The history of Old Pulteney The Pulteney Distillery is located in Wick on the northern tip of Scotland and was founded in 1826 by James Henderson. The distillery is the northernmost on the Scottish mainland and is called simply Pulteney, while it calls its whisky Old Pulteney. The adjective is not intended to refer to the whisky's great age, but rather to the fact that it matures particularly quickly. For a long time, Old Pulteney whiskies were only available from independent bottlers. Since 1997, however, it has also been available in distillery bottlings and since around 2008 Old Pulteney has experienced a significant upswing and is very popular with enthusiasts. Because of its sherry flavor and its slightly salty and dry taste, Old Pulteney is often referred to as the "Manzanilla of the North." The production of Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 Years The water used to produce Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 Years comes from the nearby Loch of Yarrows and is relatively peaty. However, the malt for Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 Years is not peated, which is why the whisky only has a subtle peat note. The distillery's six cast-iron fermentation tanks (wash backs) each hold 24,000 liters and are lined with stainless steel. After the mash has fermented, it is first distilled in a wash still and then in a 17,300 liter spirit still. The resulting alcohol vapors are passed through a T-shaped, slightly sloping pipe (lyne arm) into a stainless steel condenser (worm tub), which is rarely found in this form these days. After condensation, the fresh distillate is filled into barrels made of the best oak wood to mature in them for over 12 years. The taste of the Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 years The golden-colored Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 years clearly shows the maritime character on the nose, which is also promised by the manufacturer. On the palate, the Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 years seems a little dry at first, but then shows wonderful aromas of roasted hazelnuts and a clearly floral character. The aftertaste of the Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 years is a little sweeter than expected and impresses with fruity aromas of passion fruit and mango. Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 years is definitely one of the best whiskies in its class!

Makers Mark Bourbon Whiskey, 1 L, 45%

More exciting than the name of Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky, however, is its history, which began in 1780. At that time, former officer Robert Samuels went from Pennsylvania to Kentucky to settle there as a farmer and distiller. The whiskeys produced by Samuels, however, were intended more for personal use, and it was not until his grandson Taylor Williams that he began producing bourbon whiskey commercially in 1844. The family business was then successfully continued by William Isaac and Leslie and reopened after the dry years of Prohibition with a new distillery. The distillery is now run by the seventh generation and produces around 4,000 litres of whiskey a day, which is very little compared to other American bourbon whiskey distilleries. The production of Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky Along with the name, the production method of Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky is also unusual. A very high proportion of sour mash (around a third) is used. The mash is composed as follows: 70% corn, 16% barley malt, 14% winter wheat.Normally, rye is used instead of wheat for bourbon whiskey, but it is the wheat that gives Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky its special flavour. Furthermore, during distillation, care is taken to only use up to around 62.5% ABV. is highly distilled so that more aromatic substances are retained in the distillate. Maker's Mark also takes particular care in choosing the barrels. These are stored in the open air for around a year before filling to extract the tannins. This process is obviously very expensive, but it is of great benefit to Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky. One of the biggest buyers of used Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky barrels is the Scottish malt distillery Glenmorangie, which also pays great attention to outstanding barrel quality. After storage, Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky is bottled in distinctive bottles and then dipped head first by hand in red sealing wax. This is how the famous Red Seal Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky is created, which is highly valued by connoisseurs all over the world. The taste of Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky On the nose, Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky is extremely round and balanced, with fine notes of vanilla, wood and cocoa.

- How much does a good whiskey cost?
-

- Which whiskey under 50 euros makes a good gift?
-
It depends on what the recipient likes. If they’re already familiar with the subject, they might enjoy a bottle they haven’t tried yet. If they’re relatively new to the world of whiskey, a well-known classic is a safe bet. Taste preferences also play a role: If they prefer a mild and fruity flavor, a unpeated single malt or an Irish whiskey is the way to go. Fans of sweet notes like vanilla and caramel tend to prefer bourbon. Those who appreciate smoky or peaty aromas will find them primarily in whiskeys from the Scottish islands.
- Which whiskey under 50 euros is best for beginners?
-
For beginners, mild and approachable whiskeys with fruity, sweet, or malty notes are particularly well-suited. A lower alcohol content of around 40% ABV makes it even easier to get started. Heavily smoky and peaty whiskeys or cask-strength bottlings, on the other hand, are better suited for experienced connoisseurs.
- When does free shipping apply?
-
Within Germany, we offer free shipping on orders of 80 euros or more. You can usually reach this threshold with just two bottles of whiskey costing up to 50 euros.
