Die grüne Glasflasche ist Sinnbild für den kraftvollen Torfeinsatz, für die die Islay-Whiskys weltweit berühmt sind.

Swiss Mountain Classic

Herkunft: Schweiz

Alcohol content: 46%


The nose of the Swiss Mountain Single Malt Whiskey Classic already knows how to convince with its sweet sherry notes, its caramel aspects and its fruitiness. Thanks to the gentle distillation in two steps, the whiskey has retained its fine malt character. The whiskey is also convincing in other respects - of course especially in taste: Vanilla and caramel mix in the slightly woody, tart aroma. The long and aromatic finish successfully rounds off the taste. The single malt whiskey is stored in a barrel made of American white oak in the Rugen rock cellar built in 1875.

Der Blend aus Single Malt und Grain Whiskys stammt aus unterschiedlichen Regionen in Schottland. Vertreten sind die Highlands, Islay und die Speyside. So vielseitig wie die Regionen in denen der Blend vermählt wird, sind auch die Fasstypen, die für die Reifung verwendet wurden.

The limited edition impresses with a spicy-fruity profile and fine nuances of smoky peat.

10

Old Wolf Langatun

Herkunft: Schweiz

Alcohol content: 46%


Langatun Old Wolf is the second peat-smoked single malt whiskey from the Langatun family. The balance between fruity and smoky notes is the focus here. We have achieved this by combining different casks from our cask store. The juicy fruity notes come mainly from the sherry casks used, which bring a classic sweetness to the whiskey. The smoky part comes from a distillate originating from peat smoked malt. This is then matured in flavorful oak barrels where red wine was previously stored. The result is a captivating variety of aromas, which is buttery soft in the typical Langatun manner. The Old Wolf is therefore a whiskey for every occasion and makes a great trap in the glass with its reddish-brown colour.

 

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Caramel, roasted almonds, very subtle salty notes, ripe peaches, forest honey, cherry compote, sweet smoke in the background

Gaumen: intensiv, sehr würzig, leicht süsslich, Dörrfrüchte, Zartbitterschokolade, geröstete Nüsse, Holz, Gewürznelken, Torfrauch harmonisch eingebettet

Abgang: aromatisch, dezente Tannine, eher trocken, holzig, leichter Rauch

Whisky

Wissen

Did you know?

Scotland or Ireland?

To this day it is still being debated. The Irish claim that the Irish patron Saint Patrick, who Christianized the island, brought the art of distilling to the island from the Mediterranean countries.

Somit wäre der erste Whisky auf Irland destilliert und wohl auch konsumiert worden. Die Schotten halten mit einer Urkunde aus dem Jahr 1494 dagegen, auf der ein Verkauf von Gerste zur Whisky-Produktion verbrieft wurde. Ausserdem wurde Saint Patrick im römischen Britannien geboren, vermutlich auf heute schottischem Gebiet. Trotzdem scheint die Geschichtsforschung mittlerweile mehrheitlich der irischen Mönchstheorie recht zu geben.




Das Wort Whisky...

leitet sich vom gälischen "uisge beatha" und vom irischen "uisce beatha" ab und bedeutet «Wasser des Lebens». Die Engländer anglisierten dann das gälische Wort zu dem heute gebräuchlichen «Whisky», wobei man darunter nicht nur Whisky im heutigen Sinne verstand, sondern auch andere Brände. Aquavit also. Wasser des Lebens.


Barley... is where the traditional malt whiskey is made in Scotland. The Americans do it differently: They use a high proportion of corn. This is why American bourbon tastes much sweeter than the distillates from Scotland and Ireland.

Ohne Eis...

trinken Whisky-Kenner ihr Destillat. Eis verwässert das Getränk nicht nur unkontrolliert, wenn es schmilzt - durch die kalte Temperatur kommen die Aromen des Whiskys auch nicht mehr richtig zur Geltung. Wem sein Whisky zu stark ist, der verdünnt ihn mit reinem Quellwasser - tropfenweise, bis die richtige Trinkstärke erreicht ist.


Ein 100-jähriger Whisky...

wäre bedenkenlos zu trinken. Ungeöffnete Destillate verderben nicht. Sie werden nicht zu Essig wie Bier oder Wein. Somit ist der Inhalt einer ungeöffneten Flasche Whisky stets geniessbar


whiskey or whiskey? Both! It depends on the origin. The term whiskey is often used for Scottish whiskey while whiskey is used for distillates from other countries such as Ireland or the USA. In recent years, however, there have been increasing numbers of whiskeys from other countries that use the spelling “whisky” to emphasize their closeness to Scotch (e.g. whiskeys from Japan or Taiwan).

The right glass. So-called "nosing glasses" are sold at whiskey fairs and in specialist shops: bulbous glasses that taper towards the top edge. In the bulbous part, the whiskey aromas can develop well before they are concentrated again through the tapering glass as it rises.

Proof. The alcohol content of whiskey is not found on older bottles, or not only in % but in the proof unit. 70 British proofs correspond to an alcohol content of 40%. 100 British Proof corresponds to the alcohol content at which gunpowder soaked in whiskey burns blue.

angel and whiskey Whiskey aged in casks will evaporate over time. Okay, not very fast. 2 percent annually, roughly. This is known as angel's share.
