  1. Boletus did not rate this whisky Connoisseur

    For a long time now this has been a "Westfalian" that doesn't really appeal to me, as the distillate is noticeably inferior to the port wine cask. The recognizably old oak wood with the appealing port aromas certainly has its charm, but its profile is a little too musty for me. I probably would have liked “more rye and less cask” better.
    • Nose
      Immediately after pouring, there is a rather alcoholic tone in the glass, a bit pungent at the beginning, but some aeration is required, this releases fine fruit facets, plum in dark chocolate, fig wreath, orange refreshing sticks, the oak becomes more and more noticeable, comes across as very old and dusty, The wood sometimes seems a little musty, a tiny hint of vanilla, nutmeg, chestnut cream, hazelnut cake, there is less of the basic fire to be seen, only in the background there is a subtle hint of sourdough bread
    • Taste
      Plum jam arrives with an alcoholic punch, lots of dried figs, minimal orange, followed by rotten wood, quite pronounced oak with a somewhat bitter, musty and mushroomy aftertaste, light hazelnut nougat on fresh rye bread slowly builds up sweetness, dark milk chocolate, burnt caramel, roasted Chestnuts, nutmeg, pepper, a little vanilla
    • Finish
      Medium length, supported by dusty wood, it is initially quite nutty, but also a bit bitter like a hazelnut shell that is too thick, nougat and caramel add a slight sweetness, rye bread baked in the oven for too long with a few burnt spots, a metallic shimmer resonates, the musty oak lingers in the mouth along with chocolate
