Glenfarclas 105 proof refers to the old measure of alcohol content. The whisky was mixed with gunpowder. The alcohol content could be calculated based on the explosive strength of the mixture. The Glenfarclas 105 named after it matured exclusively in sherry casks and was bottled at a strong 60% vol.

Laphroaig stands for intensely smoky malts - so it's no wonder that the Islay distillery places great value on its own peat. The peat, cut by hand, is first dried for three months and then used to dry the grain on Laphroaig's own malt floors. In the live tasting, we taste three of the smoky creations: The 10-year-old Classic, the Lore partly matured in sherry casks and quarter casks, and Select with proportions of all the well-known Laphroaig bottlings (10 years, PX Cask, Quarter Cask and Triple Wood).

Join Ben and Horst Lüning in tasting three Single Malts from the Islay distillery. You can find the video free of charge here in the article!

Glen Scotia is one of three still-active distilleries in Campbeltown. There was a time when over 30 distilleries operated in the tiny town. However, Campbeltown is also the region that has been most affected by the ups and downs of the whisky market. The Galbraith family founded the distillery in 1832, using slightly smoky malt and traditional copper stills to create the fruit and spice flavours typical of Glen Scotia.

This exceptional Glenfarclas is one of the most affordable of all 21-year-old malt whiskies. It contains more smoke than other Glenfarclas. But only a subtle note compared to other distilleries. The sherry taste takes a back seat in favour of oak, vanilla and fruit.

This Lagavulin was bottled for the Special Releases 2022. Themed 'Elusive Expressions', this year's bottlings each represent a legend around their distillery.

Legend has it that a spark of sunlight fell from the sky above Islay and set the land on fire. From the ashes above the scorched earth rose the 'King of Islay' in the form of a majestic phoenix.

Laphroaig stands for intensely smoky malts - so it's no wonder that the Islay distillery places great importance on its own peat. The hand-cut peat is first dried for three months and then used to dry the grain on Laphroaig's own malting floors. In the live tasting we sample three of the smoky creations, including: the 10 year old classic, Laphroaig 10 year old matured at cask strength and the 10 year old Laphroaig finished in sherry oak casks.

Join Ben Lüning and Laphroaig Brand Ambassador Mark Armin Giesler to taste three Single Malts from the Islay distillery. The live tasting will take place at www.whisky.de/live on Friday, 17 November 2023 in German at 7 pm. At 8 pm you can follow the tasting from English.

Cardhu is derived from the Gaelic 'Carn Dubh' and means 'the black rock'. The distillery's bottlings are produced in a relatively long distillation process.

This year's special releases from Diageo are themed 'Elusive Expressions'. Legend has it that one day the ancient black rock beneath Cardhu made a bloodcurdling crack and released a torrent of tropical warmth that created an exotic paradise around the distillery. At midnight, the abyss closed again, but the lively whisky distilled that day remained.

The Kingsbarns Doocot, was named after the distillery's distinctive crenellated dovecote. Distillery manager Peter Holroyd uses two yeasts to lay the foundations for this creation, which is matured for at least 7 years in former bourbon casks and STR barriques. A Distillers Yeast and a Brewers Yeast are used, which ensure sufficient output and produce lush aromas during fermentation. The first-class casks are personally selected by Production Director Isabella Wemyss. Try the practical small bottle with 0.05 litres now!
