Sauternes, Cognac and Bourbon Casks @betzdestiller

Betz is a bit of newcomer to the German whisky world, but they have proven their expertise. Especially their PX Sherry Single Cask endeared them to the fans, while we liked the rye a lot – which is high praise coming from us.
_
Their latest release is a single malt matured mostly in a sauternes cask, but with a small amount of bourbon and cognac. To be honest, this combination does not seem to play to the strength of Betz. Their powerful distillate and the delicate light aromas of the sauternes don’t harmonize the way we would like it. It is not that there is not a lot going on, there certainly is. A clear malty note, some fruity sweetness of ripe grapes and young peach and green apple. It is probably the most floral of the Betz Single Malts, although the Cognac cask with its French oak spice comes through. It just does not go together for our taste...
_
This is a nice whisky, but it lacks the clarity in concept and execution that makes Betz so interesting. As a bit of an outlier we can still recommend this one, it just should not be the first Betz whisky you try.
_
Unter den Linden is a beautiful street, and we had a great time there when studying at Humboldt University and Staatsbibliothek. Occasionally we even went to the Staatsoper. ☺️ At sunset the only began… 🥃

Virgin Oak Experience, Swedish Style @mackmyrawhis

To be fair, we never liked the core range of Mackmyra much, but their special bottlings can be downright brilliant. Our last experience was the Grön Te for Karen is a green tea fan, and it was a good experience. The Single Cask Reserve line had some strong bottlings, too, and this one convinced us.
_
As fans of virgin oak this whisky, matured in a small 30l cask of Swedish oak and bottled at 50.1% ABV is just a dream. Full and spicy, yet sweet and elegant, you the full wood-in-mouth-experience. Of course, one has to like that. We do. The only regret is that it is hard to get and only 0.5l ... ✌️

Thanks to @fabiovegli for introducing us to this great whisky 🥃

The perfect summer whisky?

Our last article explored the Luftwaffe air raids on Scotland and their impact on whisky distilleries, and one of the distilleries hit was Auchentoshan. There is even a small legend that the bomb crater is now used as a pond for Auchentoshan’s cooling water. Although this is evidently untrue (KGr 100 used incendiaries at the time of the impact), it rekindled my interest in Auchentoshan.
_
This American Oak Reserve is a straightforward whisky: matured exclusively in 1st fill Bourbon cask, it is very fruity but the caramel and vanilla of the bourbon comes through as well. The triple distillation and the mild 40% ABV mean it is not overly complex, but light and floral.
_
Considering the weather, this is an almost perfect easy sipper for hot summer nights. The sun sets, the whisky is photographed, and then… ☺️

Finally German Rye Again @betzdestillerie [Photo

No, seriously, the last time we posted German rye whisky was in March! Of course, we had a lot of US Rye but still... it is time to go home, especially since there is an exciting new release: Betz Rye.
_
Betz has released a number of new single malts in the past year, and now the rye is coming. And it comes with a bang, as it was matured in a hybrid cask. That is a cask rebuild from an American and a European Oak cask.
_
The whisky itself is really good, a testament to the fact that even young rye can be tasty. At first, it is almost like a standard American rye but with time the very characteristic European oak makes its presence felt: it gets more spice and bitterness than you would expect. The whisky is a little rough around the edges but with young rye that can be allowed...
_
While the top distillers of German rye are still (and clearly) in Brandenburg, Betz from Southern Germany has made a strong first impression. It is highly recommended for every rye fan and we need to watch that distillery.
_
The photo was a bit spontaneous. I was waiting for the bus, then I saw the great lighting under the Naturdenkmal (natural landmark in the heart of Berlin) Unter den Linden. Even my alma mater can be seen in the background.
