Traditions @rossandsquibb _ Talking about traditi Traditions @rossandsquibb 
_
Talking about traditions, the makers of Rossville Union have a lot of it. But it is not just tradition, it is experience. With almost 180 years of continuously producing rye whiskey, they easily rank among the best. Add to it a vast stock of barrels, and thus choice, one understands the quality of their rye. 
_
This 7yo rye in cask strength (58.5% ABV) is their top offering among the core range, and I realized an emerging tradition of mine. Every February I treat myself to a bottle of it. And why not? Using two different mashbills, one with 95% rye but no corn and one with some corn in it, it weighs heavily on the spicy side without ignoring the sweet side. Also, heavily charred barrels help.
_
Nose: Red pepper, cloves, cinnamon and turmeric on the one hand, eucalyptus, mint and lemon balm on the other; caramel is massive and strong but it needs time to unfold

Palate: more of the same but even spicier with all kinds of chili; it is counterbalanced by caramel and added dark chocolate – again a very traditional combination, almost like Swiss dark chocolate with red chili. ...just with a lot of chili and some caramel. 

Finish: oak and fire
_
This is not your daily, not an easy sipper, this is rye at its best. It does not aim to sooth, it is fiery and intense. Fans of rye need this.

The Nikka From the Barrel is a bit of a modern classic. It is a famously powerful yet balanced blend of many, many whiskies. And yes, the controversies around that particular fact also add to the fame. Still, what the resulting product achieves is undoubtedly Japanese in spirit: harmony.
_
Nose: fruity (apricots, banana, strawberry), sweet (honey, brown sugar), and mildly spicy (tarragon, thyme), all in moderation. 
Palate: remarkably mild yet full-bodied, some toffee, more of the same fruits, but the spices are much hotter, even peppery. Again, pretty well balanced. 
Finish: now some tannins come through, and it is pretty short.
_
One can clearly see Nikka cut quite a lot corners with this whisky. The short finish and the not overly complex aromas give that away. However, it is a most balanced, rather powerful whisky with a surprisingly mild mouth-feel. It is exactly what is needed in a quite winter night.

Try January. Armenian Brandy @araratbrandy _ It i Try January. Armenian Brandy @araratbrandy 
_
It is no secret we like brandy. And since we get great Armenian brandy in Berlin, we enjoy it. Its history and heritage is downright amazing, going as far back as the earliest distillations of wine. Winston Churchill supposedly was such a fan that he ordered hundreds of bottles. And it comes in cask strength. 
_
Brandy in cask strength is still not that common but it is a welcome sight. The already intense and heavy aromas are intensified a lot. It easily holds up even after drinking the most peated whiskies possible, it is that intense. The Ararat Exclusive Collection offers this 10yo at 57% ABV, and it is glorious.
_
Nose: dates, figs, dried plum; toffee, dark chocolate; really mighty oak with caramel, pepper, and clove 

Palate: more dates and figs, but also zesty grapes; a little less chocolate, perhaps some almond sweetness; far more spices, hot pepper and a lot of oak

Finish: really long and, surprisingly, sweet
_
Curiously, the oak influence is very pronounced, although it has just ten years of maturation. But then, this is the power of European and Armenian oak, perhaps. And I love it.

Rye January @malahatspirits _ Back to a familiar Rye January @malahatspirits 
_
Back to a familiar style: rye whiskey, but this time from San Diego. The Malahat Rye is also special in that it features a 100% rye mash bill which is rare for US rye whiskeys. The result is ... different, maybe even exiting, perhaps strange.
_
Nose: surprisingly sweet with caramel, danish pastry, and what can I only describe as apple rings, then lots of green grass and hay, cinnamon bark

Palate: far more spices, it is a really hot whiskey now with pepper, aniseed, cardamom, nutmeg; plus herbs like chives and peppermint; sweetness is overwhelmed although hints of caramel still come through

Finish: medium with a bitter tannic aftertaste
_
The nose was unlike pretty much all ryes I tasted, and blindly I would not have guessed it is rye in the first place. Unmistakenly rye-ish is the flavour though the spiciness is a tad overtone even by rye standards. This rather stark contrast between nose and palate makes this a very interesting, even exiting whiskey, but one that is not easily accessible. Not in spite of that, but because of that experience it can be recommended to rye fans with an open mind.
