Michlers Jamaica & Trinidad Artisanal White Rum 0,7L 40%

Michler's Jamaican Artisanal Dark Rum 0.7L 40% Rapid success The British distillery has its roots in Silesia, a country that belonged to the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy and today lies largely in Poland. In 1863, Albert Michler founded his liqueur and spirits factory in the town of Buchsdorf, with which he soon became known throughout the empire and kingdom for his distillates. In addition to distillates made from local herbs, these also included imported rums from the Caribbean, making him one of the first dealers to buy exotic spirits and sell them in Europe. However, the greatest award for Michler and his distillery was probably his appointment as official supplier to the imperial and royal courts. As a result, all soldiers in the country were soon officially drinking his rum, as the company supplied rum to the army as well as to the nobility. Local products Today the distillery is based in England, but the spirit of the original founder lives on in people's minds and, above all, in the contents of the beautifully designed bottles. Dark rum is made from a variety of distillates, the mash of which is always made from original Jamaican sugar cane. The rum from this mash is distilled using the traditional pot still method, an original method in which only smaller batches can be distilled due to the small volume of the still, which increases the quality of the distillate. The young distillates now mature in white oak barrels for between 5 and 25 years before they are blended by skilled Caribbean distillers to create Artisanal Dark Rum. Coherent, dark beauty. The result after blending is a wonderful dark rum whose origin you can practically taste, after all, all the ingredients are from Jamaica and even the professional hands that made and seasoned it know and live the Caribbean traditions. The distillate is round, balanced and yet strong and expressive in taste, thanks to the up to 25-year-old spirits in it. Its aromas range from a spicy wood note from the oak barrels to fruity-sweet grapes and appealing notes of sugar cane molasses.

Michlers Genuine Gin 0.7L 44% Classic style The Albert Michler distillery is mainly known for its expressive rums, but it is probably in every British distillery's blood to devote itself to the country's most famous spirit, gin. In the spirit of founder Albert Michler, the decision was made to distill a unique gin for people looking for new taste experiences. To develop it, the distillery joined forces with German master distiller Frank Braun, and production was also relocated to Germany, making it in the immediate vicinity of Michler's birthplace. In the 19th century, Michler lived and worked in Silesia, which at the time was partly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is now Poland. Lots of juniper The distillation of this spirit is quite unique, as it is divided into seven steps and a total of three distillation units, which are responsible for the distinctive taste. For the maceration, the heart of gin production, up to 15 spices and herbs are used, which are largely secret. Nevertheless, some are well known, such as the classic juniper, but then it quickly becomes exotic, as the other ingredients include apple peel, wormwood, rosemary, thyme, citrus fruits and a fruit similar to the currant. All botanicals are placed in the clear raw spirit so that the alcohol bursts the cell walls of the plants and they release their essential oils and aromas. This is how the alcohol is flavored and the gin is created. As more juniper is added during production than in other gins, the distillate tends to be slightly cloudy because there are more essential oils in the spirit, but this has no effect on the taste. Many nuances A variety of different aromas can be detected on the tongue, the main component being juniper. However, it is surrounded by nuances of spices and flowers reminiscent of forest and nature, which are rounded off by fruity, exotic aromas. This results in an overall very soft and round taste.

Michler's Absinth Bohemicum 0.7L 70% Drink of the artists Absinthe is a mysterious spirit that is surrounded by many myths, as the distillate is said to have hallucinogenic effects and indescribable states of intoxication. Like many drinks, absinthe was initially drunk as a medicine, developed by a French doctor in Switzerland in the 18th century. However, as the medicine tasted wonderful and was soon preferred as a luxury item, word got around about absinthe and began its crusade to the big European cities like Paris and London. There, the bourgeoisie and artists met in the evening for the ritual drinking of the "green fairy", because when absinthe was mixed with a little water, it turned milky green. Towards the end of the 19th century, a real epidemic broke out; people loved the feeling of intoxication, which was caused not only by the alcohol but also by the neurotoxin thujone contained in wormwood. Miraculous herb The main ingredient in absinthe is wormwood, which is harvested when it has the highest content of the aromatic essential oils. In addition to wormwood, the master distillers at the Albert Michler distillery also use mugwort to soften the strong taste of the wormwood. The raw materials come from the distillery's old homeland, Silesia, today's Poland. Once the two plants have been dried, they are macerated in high-proof alcohol, which causes the herb cells to burst and release their aromas into the alcohol. Maceration is a very effective extraction method for extracting aromas from ingredients that cannot be juiced. The now flavored raw spirit is distilled in traditional stills, which further refines the taste. Natural aroma As the Michler distillery completely avoids additives, its absinthe has a light, natural green coloring from wormwood and mugwort. The distillate offers a wide variety of flavors, with intense herbal notes that are due to the high content of essential oils in the raw materials. Bitter, sweet, spicy and fresh notes harmonize with an intense wormwood aroma on the tongue.

Michlers Overproof Artisanal White Rum 0.7L 63% From here to now The "Michlers Overproof Artisanal White Rum" comes from the beautiful countries of Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. The distillery has its origins in Buchsdorf in Silesia, which is now part of Poland. The distillery was founded by Albert Michler in 1863. Shortly after he imported the first Caribbean rums, he was able to win over the royal and imperial family. The current company headquarters is near Wales, more precisely in Bristol. You can still feel the influence from the times of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, as the aged rums in particular became well-known. These still play a major role in the distillery today, alongside all kinds of delicacies, such as various gins or absinthes. Then as now, quality is essential for the premium distillery. The exotic lifestyle Since the company is not based in the Caribbean, some may wonder how it manages to create a tropical rum. This is only possible through years of experience and good contact in the capital of rum production. With the distillery there and the skills of the master distillers, a unique Blanco rum is created. All ingredients come from the region, more precisely from the two islands of Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. The distillery uses only locally grown sugar cane plants to extract the required molasses. The molasses is then fermented and then heated in traditional stills using the pot-still method in order to be able to distill the complex rum. Not only are the raw materials originally from the Caribbean islands, because even the master distillers who produce the end product have their roots there. They bring the necessary experience with them and give the rum that certain something. The exotic attitude to life is one of the decisive factors in how this white rum blend is created from various young spirits. A strong Blanco The rum was only stored for a short time in small white oak barrels in order to obtain a fresh appearance. It is already slightly sharp and estery on the nose. There are clearly pleasant wood and barrel notes that are surrounded by fruity tones. Spices and the typical molasses aroma, mangos, guavas, roasted nuts and citrus fruits are also noticeable, but the main flavor carriers are bananas and esters. The high alcohol strength of 63% ensures a strong taste and invites you to mix it in a cocktail. At the German Rum Award 2016, the complex rum took 3rd place in the overproof category.
