Wismar Whisky @hinricusnoyte exclusively bottled b

_
Holzmarkt 25 is not only known for being area open to clubs, night life, arts and culture, but also hosts a small but fine whisky fair since 2018, the Spreeside. After a not-so-voluntary break in 2020 and 2021, the Spreeside reopened in 2022 and it did so with a surprise: an exclusive bottling of German whisky. Fortunately, they continued this tradition, so the 2023 Spreeside again featured an exclusive bottling.
_
This time, Baltach from Wismar was featured. The distillery is located at the coast of the Baltic Sea and belongs to the Brauhaus am Lohberg, which has a history dating back to 1452. In fact, the name of the distillery is that of its founder: Hinricus Noyte.
_
To be honest, we never had a Baltach whisky because the ABV is quite low, and the concept did not convince us all that much. It was just the typical young malt finished in sherry casks. But, the Spreeside guys know what they are doing so we gave it a chance. And good thing we did!
_
Coming at 50% ABV it is just the strength we like, and the finish is more intense. We tried it, and we were convinced. It is a good whisky.
_
In fact, it might be the last hurray of the old Baltach whiskies. With some changes in management and distilling team, Baltach will probably quite different in the future. Perhaps a stronger focus on cask strength and more local ingredients is the way to go.
_
Be it as it may, we are happy about the exclusive bottling, and the Roman numerals. Will be interesting so see how that goes on once they reach the 20 or even 30 mark. But right now, it looks great. It tastes great, and it was not overly expensive. What more can you want?

Peated Whisky from South Africa? @threeshipswhisky

Peated Whisky from South Africa? @threeshipswhisky

Some time ago, Holly @whisky_buzz travelled to South Africa and brought some Three Ships whisky bottles with her back to Germany. And we had a tasting (which you can still watch online on her YT-Channel). None of us knew much about South African whisky much less about Three Ships. Still, it was an interesting experience.
_
I liked this 5yo blend quite a bit; delicate, floral with sweet fruit notes, no doubt this blend included a not to small about of grain... and something more. I could not put my finger on it, and most people in the tasting did not get it at all. But then I read about this particular whisky, and it all made sense: it is peat.
_
The malt of this blend is at least partially peated, in homage to Islay whiskies. Well, it is nowhere near that. Even I would not have guessed peated whisky here. But there is an unmistakable effect of it, in the nose as well as on the palate. It adds another layer of depth to an otherwise solid if forgettable easy sipper.
_
As such the 5yo is a welcome surprise experience. Thanks to Holly for bringing this to my attention.
_
Here you can see it at the James-Simon-Gallery, and we hope you appreciate the water reflections making for a maritime motive.

Ireland Experience, Part V: the big surprise @ball

Ireland Experience, Part V: the big surprise @ballykeefedistillery
[1st Photo by @klara_hase 🐰]
_
Our Ireland trip was phenomenal, and Ballykeefe surprised us all. The small, family-owned distillery is a classic farm to bottle operation, reviving the Irish tradition of farm distilleries. Using their own grains guarantees the best possible ingredients; also, it is just charming.
_
Morgan Ging, owner and master distiller of Ballykeefe, is furthermore very passionate about eco-friendly production methods; not a single bit is wasted here, even by-products are used to feed the farm animals.
Best of all, the whiskey is not only well-crafted, it tastes just as great.
_
At present Ballykeefe offers a single malt and a pot still whiskey, but there is more coming soon. We were fortunate enough to taste some future whiskies, too, including a remarkable rye and an extra-ordinary oat.
Yes, you read that right: oat whiskey.
_
So there is good reason to keep an eye on Ballykeefe.
_
Thanks to @entdecke_irland and @tourismireland for having us, John Callely @whiskey_island, our most knowledgeable guide, and of course to Morgan for this wonderful day.

Ireland Experience, Part IV: Guinness meets Irish

Ireland Experience, Part IV: Guinness meets Irish Whiskey @roeandcowhiskey
[1st Photo by @klara_hase 🐰]

One of the bigger surprises during our tour of Ireland’s Ancient East was the Roe&Co distillery in Dublin. Known for a good if unspectacular blend we did not expect much, but there is more than meets the eye.
_
We began with a wonderful deconstruction tasting, and then we were introduced to a whiskey matured in a Guinness cask. Roe&Co is not only geographically close to Guinness, which is right across the street actually, but also cooperates with them.
_
Even better there was a distillery exclusive handfill available, matured in a special Antwerp Stout Cask by Guinness and, of course, in cask strength. That one is a beauty.
_
Thanks to @tourismireland and @entdecke_irland for having us! And thanks to the Master Blender for this great tasting experience.
_
Back in Berlin we had to photograph it in front of my favourite photo spot, the Stadtschloss.
