The Artist Blend @compassboxwhiskyco is tribute to Edinburgh and all her artists; as such the bottle depicts Edinburgh’s National Gallery. So we decided to showcase the Artist Blend in its natural environment: the National Gallery of Berlin.
_
The whisky is a blend of 45% grain from Cameronbridge and malts from various distilleries including Linkwood, Clynelish and Balmenach. The aim was to produce an easy sipper that would appeal to both single malt drinkers and people enjoying whisky cocktails. They definitely achieved that goal.
_
It is a straightforward whisky, too. There is a nice balance of sweet vanilla, yeast dough and a variety of ripe fruit, most prominently ripe apples, plus a hint of oak in the finish. Overall it comes across as very light and floral but not lacking in flavour. Thus the Artist Blend is dangerously easy to enjoy.

Today, 34 years ago, Germany was whole again. After decades of oppression and socialism at the hands of the SED brave people rose up for democracy and truth. They were called fascists by the East German media, but they persisted against police violence and journalist lies. On October 3 it was all over, Germany reunited under the Federal Republic.
_
Today, we remember all the great people who made this victory of good over evil possible: peaceful protestors who never gave up their struggle, border guards who followed their conscience rather than party order, politicians who were willing to take the risk and try reunification, no matter the price to pay.
_
Today, we toast to all of them. So here is a whisky from Bavaria and a watch from Saxony, united as they should be. Obviously we will talk about that whisky and that independent bottler later on. But for now we just raise our glass.

Bourbon with a Red Wine Finish [Photo inspired by

Bourbon with a Red Wine Finish
[Photo inspired by @klara_hase ]
_
Virginia is arguably the birthplace of bourbon, and was once home to many distilleries but prohibition ruined them all. Nowadays new distilleries restart that tradition, and curiously quite a number of them are available in Germany. That includes @reservoirdistillery .
_
One of their special projects is a bourbon finished in a red wine cask. The bourbon is made from 100% corn and aged in a small 20l (5 gallon) barrel with alligator charring, so that even the relatively short maturation period of two years results in quite a bit of wood influence. After that the bourbon spends 18 months in an unspecified wine cask of French oak, though most claim red wine. Bottled at solid 50% ABV, it should be intense.
_
Nose: lots of Bourbon-like vanilla and buttered popcorn but immediately overpowered by ripe red grapes, black currant, charred oak, dark chocolate and mild pepper
Palate: intense, woody, far more spicy than expected with pepper and bitter oak, again ripe grapes but more chocolate, added tobacco; the sweetness of bourbon definitely takes a backseat although it is still present.
Finish: this is all oak, and I love it... spicy, bitter, long
_
This is a fascinating whiskey. Wonderfully balanced in the nose providing equal amounts of sweets and spices, it gets ever more spicy from there on. The wine cask, which is unmistakably made from French oak, clearly dominates palate and finish. While finished bourbons are no longer a rarity such a strong influence of the finish certainly qualifies as rare. Thus the Maison de Cuivre almost feels ... European.

The Best Choice in the Brandenburg Election on Sun

The Best Choice in the Brandenburg Election on Sunday
[Photo inspired by @klara_hase 🐰]
_
It is Election Day in Brandenburg, so what better date to present a new whisky from there. @glinawhisky is well known for both intense single malt whiskies and well-balanced rye whiskies. This is obviously the latter. A 15 year old whisky from Germany is rare anyway, but such an old rye is certainly unique. Matured in a white port cask, it brings a marvellous blend of tropical fruits and typical rye spiciness, with all the elegance and grace a 15 year old whisky brings.
_
Nose: it needs time to breathe, a lot. After that it develops lovely tropical fruits like star fruit and dragon fruit. Then there is grapes, nuts and chocolate (Traube-Nuss as it is known in Germany). Eucalyptus and pepper betray the rye origin of that whisky after all, plus some old leather and tobacco.

Palate: gentle, subtle and complex... the tropical fruits are still present yet more ripe and dark, there is still the grape-nut-chocolate but with lots of chili, clove and liquorice. This spiciness adds an additional layer of taste but it does not define the whisky like it is the case with younger rye.

Finish: sparkling, spicy and a tad bitter, probably from tannins. This long finish is worthy of such a great whisky.
_
The combination of a port cask and rye distillate works magnificent, rounded and perfected by a long maturation. Obviously the price is a concern. It is perfectly in line with German whisky that age, which means it is a lot. For rye fans it is totally worth it, though.
