Tales and legends of smoky drams, mystical peats and seducing waters. I blog in English and Finnish from now on.

Nämä olivatkin jo kymmenennet Uisgeet! Joillain messukävijöillä näkyikin Uisge-veteraanipaidat olevan päällä. Tässäpä kuvapitoinen messuraportti.<br />

Aloituksena tuli otettua Highland Parkin Valkyrie-Valknut-Valkfather minimaistelu. Erityisesti Valkyrie ja Valkfather nousivat näistä esille. Turvesavupitoisuus sarjassa kasvaa Valkfatheria kohden, mutta Valknut tuntui yllättäen vähemmän savuiselta kuin Valkyrie.<br />

Samantien tuli tehtyä harhaloikkia pois skottilaisten maasta. Writer's Tears tynnyrivahvana versiona oli erinomainen kokemus. Yllättäen alkoholin vahvuus ei tuntunut olevan lainkaan läsnä.<br />

Compass Boxin Affinity oli myös hyvin erikoinen yllätys. Sehän ei ole viski vaan viina jossa on sekoitettu keskenään Calvadosta ja erilaisia viskejä (mm Craigellachie). Omena tuli vahvasti esille tässä mutta kokonaisuus ei ollut mitenkään huono.<br />

Cotswolds Distillery on läntisessä Englannissa Sturtonin kylässä. Kolmevuotias brittiviski, jonka paras anti tulee jälkimaussa jossa siitä kuoriutuu miellyttävä.<br />

Royal Milen Skye - 23 vuotiasta Caol Ilaa. Alku oli yllättävän raaka ensisipaisulla mutta sen jälkeen tämän maistelu oli vain miellyttävää ja pehmeää makumatkailua.<br />
<br />

Tämän jälkeen oli syytä siirtyä itse asiaan. Octomore 10.4. ensikosketus oli myös yllätys. PPM-puoli on tässä tosi maltillinen 88 joten odotuksiin nähden tämä oli täysiverinen Octomore! Savua oli nokassa vähemmän, mutta tuttu turve jylläsi siellä taustalla ja nosti esille jälleen kerran Octomoren silkkihansikkaaseen piiloitetun rautaisen kouran. Pehmeyttä, mutta jämäkyyttä. Leveitä lyöntejä ja silittelyä. Erittäin mainio!<br />
<br />
Tuosta oli hyvä jatkaa Octomore 8.3:lla, jossa on ppm:t toisessa äärilaidassa: 309. Tynnyreillä on tehty myös runsaasti temppuja, joten kokonaisuus on äskeistäkin intensiivisempi. Jälkimaku on valtavan pitkä ja turpeiden tanssi teki tästä upean kokemuksen. Näin viskimessuilla oli tiedostettava tietysti se, että seuraavaksi on otettava jotain jolla voi makua nollata: joko uhrattava jokin viski Octomoren kunniaksi tai käytävä vaikkapa syömässä.<br />

Hänen tiskiltään tuli kokeiltua tauon ja uhrien jälkeen Wild Turkey 101 bourbon. Omiin makunystyröihin on tullut selkeästi tottumista bourboneihin ja ruisviskeihin. Tästä oli helppo pitää "puhdas" bourbon makumaailmaltaan. Toimisi varmasti viskidrinkkeihin erittäin hyvin.<br />

Bourbonista Heinävedelle: Valamon luostariviskin tynnyrinäytteet maistuivat. 4 yo XO oli erinomainen, vaikka viini vahvasti sieltä tulikin esille. Jälkimaku ratkaisee joten erittäin mainio tynnyrivahvana. Samoin heidän savumaltainen tynnyrisample oli erittäin hyvä. Harmillisesti tätä jälkimmäistä ei tule kauppohin. Sen verran miellyttävän savuinen tuo versio heiltä oli.<br />

Pääkaupunkiseudun Helsinki Distilling Co batch #16 oli myös hyvin bourbon-tyylinen mutta myöskin erinomainen. Näihin tuli tutustuttua enemmän vuoden alussa ja viime vuoden messuilla, joten jatkossakin seuraan heitä.<br />

Vielä hyppy Arranin saarelle, josta esille nostettiin 12 vuotias tynnyrivahva pullote. Arran on esimerkki ei savuisesta viskistä josta olen alkanut pitämään vähitellen enemmän ja enemmän. Pitkä keskustelu tislaamon edustajan Andyn kanssa toi hiukan valoa Arranin tapaan toimia. Muhkea maku ja pitkä jälkimaku olivat tuossa hyvin esillä. Kummallisesti mieleen jäi herkkusienten maku. Todella erinomainen löytö tämäkin.<br />

Tämän jälkeen olikin aika käydä Kilchoman-maistelussa, jonka veti Kilchomanin Catherine MacMillan. Saimme kuulla tislaamon tarinaa ja pääsimme maistelemaan , jo vähän tuttujakin, viskejä. Yllättäen tällä kertaa Machir Bay jäi itsellä 100% Islayn ja Sanaiginkin taakse. Erinomainen sarja joka päättyi spesiaalipulloon. Koko tynnyriä ei ole edes pullotettu vaan messuja varten siitä otettiin viskiä kahteen pulloon. Tätä ei ollut kovin moni päässyt aiemmin maistelemaan!<br />

Maistelun jälkeen oli aika kääntyä Teerenpelin tiskillä ja maistaa X Uisge. Oli vähän ohut itselleni. Jätti toivomisen varaa selkeästi vaikka ei tämä huono viskinä ole. Ehkä pettymys, koska odotin tältä enemmän. Oliko tämä kohta sitten paras tämän maisteluun - tuskin. Mutta upeaa Teerenpeliltä tehdä tapahtumalle oma pullote!<br />

Juran 1989, 21 yo ja Two-One-Two loivat pienen Jurakauden maistelun keskelle Uisgetta. Tykkäsin erityisesti 1989:n ja 2-1-2:n tasapainosta ja makumaailmasta. Miellyttävän kokonaisvaltainen, pitkä jälkimaku eikä ollut mitenkään vanhan Jurakauden tuotteen oloisia. 21 yo jäi vähän tunkkaiseksi itselle - hyvä viski mutta pari muuta olivat selkeästi parempia!<br />

Bourbon/ruis/jenkkiviskimaailmassa Michters oli myös edustettuna. Näistä tuli maistettua American Whiskey-versio joka oli jälleen kerran Michters jota voi käyttää drinkeissä tai maisteluissa sellaisenaan.<br />

Pitihän sitä Kyrön tiskiltä maistaa pieni siivu Dairy Creamia. On muuten erinomainen kermalikööri. Myös Kyrön mainio Gin on saanut vähän väriä ja lisämakua Teeling-viskiltä.<br />

Illan päätteeksi oli vielä testattava miltä Bruichladdich Black Art 6.1. sointui. Taiat pyörivät lasissa, riimut hehkuivat ja taikajuoma valui arvokkaasti maistettavaksi. Edelleen vanha 2-sarjalainen toimii omassa muistissa parempana, mutta hyvin monipuolinen, leveä ja jälkimaulla varustettu tämä uusikin on. Kertoo myös siitä, että illan lopetuksessa sillä oli vielä paljon annettavaa maun puolesta.<br />

Messukeskuksessa <a href="https://turunolutjaviski.fi/fi/etusivu/#" target="_blank">Turun Olut ja Viskimessut 2019</a>. Siellä tulikin käytyä tekemässä sopivan kattava maistelu erilaisiin antimiin mitä näytteilleasettajilla oli tarjolla. Pääasiassa oluet jäivät nyt kokeilematta ja huomio keskittyikin enemmän viskeihin ja oli seassa pari giniäkin.<br />
<br />
Tässä tarjolla siis enemmän kuvia kuin tekstiä, mutta erilaisten viskien kohdalla olen laittanut pieniä muistinvaraisia muistiinpanoja suutuntumasta maisteluhetkellä. Osa viskeistä varmasti kärsi messuista (ei mitään mietittyä järjestystä, ei aina puhdasta lasia välillä) mutta osalle tämänkaltainen maistelu ja rento jutustelu näytteilleasettajien kanssa taasen on hyväksikin.<br />

Iso kiitos näytteilleasettajille ja järjestäjille! Risuina paikka olisi voinut olla parempikin (Messukeskus on aika valtava halli tämänkaltaiseen pienimuotoiseen tapahtumaan ja sijainti on vähän etäällä - tuonne on mentävä erikseen eikä voi vain hetken mielijohteesta pistäytyä) sekä siitä ettei tapahtuma ollut oikein levinnyt laajaan tietouteen - Turun seudun harrastajista todennäköisesti suurin osa tiesi tapahtumasta. Ruusuina tietysti se, että eihän näitä tapahtumia vielä valtavasti ole ja vain harjoittelemalla tulee mestariksi. Pääosan esittäjät, viskit, maistuivat ja varsinkin kun kävijöitä tuli enemmän paikalle iltapäivällä oli tunnelma miellyttävän lämminhenkinen olematta ahdas.<br />

Compass Boxilta oli mukavasti tarjontaa. Tässä vaiheessa näitä ei vielä maisteltu mutta piti fiilistellä vähän kuvia ottamalla. Näistä löytyi yksi yllätyskin joten jatkappa lukemista.<br />

Juveniles jäi harmillisesti testaamatta. Fiilistelykuvan otin alussa siitä ja tarkoitus oli palata maistelemaan tätä myöhemmin mutta hetken ilmestyessä myöhemmin tuli todettua että hennompi viski ei todennäköisesti saisi oikeutta. Jäi jotain maistettavaa myös myöhempään kertaan!</div>

<a href="https://craftandcask.fi/index.php" target="_blank">Cask & Craft</a>in osastolta tuli maistelu aloitettua ja sinne tuli se myös sattumalta päätettyä. Smokehead jäi väliin, kun on vanha tuttu, mutta sen verran hieno tyyli pullossa on joten pitihän se saada kuvaan. Rokkimeininki on vahva Smokeheadin kanssa! Se ei ole <a href="https://www.alko.fi/tuotteet/953211/Smokehead-Single-Malt/" target="_blank">pahan hintainen Alkossakaan</a>. Versioita on useampia, itse suosin vähän vahvempaa Smokeheadin versiota kuin tuo peruspullote mutta makuasioita itse kullekin! Arranin Turun Viskiryhmän pullote näkyy myös Smokeheadin vieressä.<br />

Arran on tullut hyvin tutuksi viimeaikoina, erityisesti tuon Viskiryhmä Turun pullon myötä, joka on erittäin maistuva ei-savuinen viski. Itse pidän kovasti Arranin uudesta pullojen tyylistä - vaikka onkin hyvä muistaa että sisältö ratkaisee, ei kuori! </div>

Ensimmäisenä lasiin päätyikin Arrania : uutta Sherry Cask versiota. Omaan suuhuni ei ollut liian makea, vaan sopivan maistuvan tasapainoinen viski pitkällä jälkimaulla. Toisiakin mielipiteitä kuului, että olisi ollut liiankin makea. Lopputulos on kuitenkin, että Sherryisten viskien rintamalla tuo maistuisi minulle vielä toisenkin kerran - päivä alkoi vahvasti tällä yllätyksellä. 🥃🥃🥃🥃 </div>

Jatkona sitten toinen Arran, tällä kertaa Amarone-tynnyriviimeistelty versio. Se jäi joko äskeisen jalkoihin, tai on muutenkin vähän hennompi rungoltaan. Ei paha mutta ei noussut suosikikseni. 🥃🥃</div>

Kuvassa hiukan näkyvä Arran Gold sen sijaan sai vahvan suosituksen vaikka joulupöydän jälkiruokaosastolle. Ainakin itselle maistui moninkertaisesti paremmin kuin Baileys - se on se viskielementti. </div>

Seuraava hyppy tapahtui valtameren taakse James Pepper boubornien pariin. Kaksi erittäin maukasta juomaa tuli testattua. Molemmissa on makua, maustetta, potkua, pehmeyttä ja Flordian mittainen jälkimaku. Ydinpolttoaineen sauvat eivät tulleet mieleen, mutta Rye-versiosta tuli vähän otsonimainen tuoksahdus alussa, ei kuitenkaan epämiellyttävästi. Vahva suositus näiden kokeiluille - itsellä on alkanut kerääntymään vuoden alussa listalle mainioita bourboneita. Pitkään menikin tottua niiden makumaailmaan. 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃</div>

Tamdhu 12yo jäi vähän äskeisten jalkoihin ja toimi makujen kalibaattorina tässä välissä. Ei huono ja makua kuitenkin löytyi huolimatta vähän haastavasta paikasta. Peruskepeä, ei pahan hintainen. Sopisi illanvietossa varmasti monelle. 🥃🥃🥃<br />

Helsinki Distilling toi esille kaksi mielenkiintoista amerikkalaisen bourbonin oloista ruismakua. Ensimmäisenä maisteluun menikin rommitynnyriviimeistelty versio joka upposi itselle erittäin hyvin. Tasapainoinen, maukas, sopivasti makeutta (ei liikaa rommiviimeistelyä!) ja muutenkin ihan kelpo bourbon-tyylinen viski suomesta! Näytteilleasettaja paljasti että tästä saattaa tulla heidän vakiotarjoomaansa kunhan laatu saadaan pysymään tasaisena. 🥃🥃🥃🥃<br />

Äskeisen jälkeen maisteluun meni puhtaasti American Virgin Oak caskissa uinut versio. Molemmissa oli hyvät puolensa, mutta loppujen lopuksi rommiviimeistelty vei omassa suussani voiton olemalla monipuolisempi. Mainio ruisviski on kuitenkin kyseessä! 🥃🥃🥃🥃 </div>

Maistoin myös Helsinki White Dog-pontikkaa, eli tislettä josta äskeiset viskit valmistetaan. Tuoksu ei nyt saanut pisteitä, mutta maku oli erittäin miellyttävä. On aina hauskaa maistaa myös tisle mistä viskit tehdään, se kertoo paljon alkutilanteesta, laadusta ja näyttää myös erittäin konkreettisesti miten tynnyri muodostaa aikanaan kokonaisuudesta viskin.</div>

Saatavilla oli myös irkkupuolen viskejä useampiakin. Nyt katse kääntyi erinomaisiin Irish Coffeihin joista toinen tehtiin tavalliseen Bushmilliin ja toinen Black Bush-versioon. Jälkimmäinen upposi paremmin, siinä viskin maku tuli mukaan miellyttävämmin kun taas normiversio oli terävämpi. Mutta hyviä olivat molemmat! </div>

Päädyin vielä maistamaan Black Bushin sellaisenaan ja sen kaverina Bushmills 21 yo viskin. Black Bush toimisi helppona ja järkihintaisena viskinä illanvietossa enemmän kuin hyvin, mutta 21yo versiota en usko että erottaisin sen olevan irkkuviskiä. Maistui hyvältä viskiltä miellyttävällä jälkimaulla! 🥃🥃🥃</div>

Jälleen yksi suomalainen Gin, eli Kalevala. Vaalea versio on Suomen ainoa luomusertifikaatin saanut gini. Raakana häviää todella paljon Nagulle, mutta toimi kyllä osana Gin & Toniccia.<br />

Compass Boxin osasto oli vihdoin vuorossa. Tässä vietettiinkin tovi, maistellen useampi versio. Hedonism ei jättänyt vahvoja muistikuvia. Oli ihan kelvollinen viski mutta ei osunut täysin omaan makuuni (makeus, vanilijaisuus, hentous). 🥃🥃</div>

Verrokkina maistettu Single Barrel jäi aika kauaksi vanhemmasta veljestään. Ikää Single Barrel-versiolla oli ehkä 7-10 vuotta kun esittelijältä tenttasin ja arvuutin asiaa. Mitään takeita tuostakaan ikähaarukasta ei ole. Karkea ja taisi saada kyseenalaisen kunnian olla heikoin maistelevani viski tapahtumassa - mutta jonkin on otettava sekin paikka. 🥃</div>

Ruotsalainen Hven maissiviski oli hauska elämys. Ja kyllä, oli parempi kuin Four Roses single barrel. Hauskan öljyinen ja popkorninen viski. Parempi kuin mitä odotin - kuriositeettiviski ehkäpä mutta ei paha ensitutustuminne Hveniin. 🥃🥃</div>

Sen sijaan Hvenin Ruisviski oli ihan maistuva. Yllättävänkin hyvä odotuksiin nähden - uskoisin että Hven tulee kehittymään tästä vielä joten alku on erittäin hyvällä mallilla. Ja tottakai tyylikäs pullo näyttää hyllyssä hyvältä kun makukin on ok. 🥃🥃🥃 </div>

Kilchomanin 2010 Vintage jäi messuilla maistamatta koska se tuli maisteltua viikko takaperin. Erinomainen viski, jossa on loistavaaa Kilchomanin alkuvuosien savua ja nokea havaittavissa - kuitenkin pystymmällä päällä, kehittyneemmällä rungolla ja pitkällä vaikutuksella joka uppoaa omaan makumaailmaani. 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃</div>

Pääsin eilen osallistumaan <a href="https://www.turkucraftbeerfestival.com/" target="_blank">Turku Craft Beer Festival</a> versioon 2019. Tarjolla oli nimensä mukaisesti runsaasti erilaisia oluita maistettavaksi, mutta itse keskityin alkupuolella viskeihin. Viskejä oli esillä vähemmän kuin edellisvuonna mutta näistäkin löytyi uusia ja vanhoja tuttavuuksia maistettavaksi.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Juran uudet tuulet</h3>
<div>
Ensimmäisenä viskeistä tutustuin Juran uuteen valikoimaan. He muuttivat perusvalikoimaansa viime vuoden keväällä, joten nykyään on Superstitionin ja Prophecyn jne tilalla 12-vuotias, 7-wood (about 15 vuoden luokkaa, ikämerkitsemätön) ja 18 vuotiaat versiot. 18-vuotias on uinut aikansa punaviinitynnyreissä ja 7-woodin tammet on American Oakin lisäksi Ranskan eri alueilta.</div>

12 vuotias on helppo viski. Aikaisempi Juran tunkiomaisuus on kaukana ja tästä löytyy myös vähän savua. Jälkimaku ei ole mitenkään pitkä, mutta lopputulos on tasapainoinen maistelujuoma. Toimii hyvin illanvietossa tai maistelun aloitukseksi. Myöskin erinomainen lahjaviski sellaiselle joka aloittelee viskin maailman avaamista tai pitää enemmän vähän helpommista viskeistä (vrt ei savuturvesherrypommi tai tynnyrivahvuiset). Pakko sanoa että Jura on edennyt nyt edukseen tässä.</div>

7 Wood toi mukaan pippuria ja tammista makeutta. Muutenkin puu tuli kivasti esille ja luonnetta on vähän enemmän. Pippurisuus ja mausteet tekevät tästä ärhäkämmän oloisen. Kuten odottaa voi, tämän jälkimaku on pidempi kuin 12-vuotiaan. Muutenkin hyvässä jatko tuon 12 vuotiaan jälkeen.</div>

Viimeisenä Jurista oli maistelussa 18-vuotias. Tässä Jura on onnistunut mainiosti - monipuolisempi ja laajempi maku, pehmeä ja tyylikäs "salonkikelpoinen" viski. Ei ärise eikä haukkaa. Vähän tuonkin myötä tulee se, että tämä ei jää kummittelemaan mieleen myöhemmin. Hintapiste on makuuni vähän turhan korkea koska siellä satasen luokassa alkaa olla kovasti kilpailua huomiosta. Kuitenkin - tämä on aika mainio viski sellaiselle joka hakee vähän vähemmän rajua viskikokemusta. Makua löytyy ja keskustelua sitä kautta saa myös aikaiseksi.<br />
<br />
Itselle tämä pieni Jura-maistelu oli hyvä aloitus illalle. Mainioita viskejä, muutosta on tapahtunut aikaisempaan ja hyvä fiilis jäi kokonaisuudessaan. Itseltä kun jäi illan Lokan pitämä viskimatka-maistelu väliin niin tämän myötä ei jäänyt harmittamaankaan. :)<br />

Yllätyin positiivisesti. Liköörissä on mukana lakritsaa joten mausta tuli ensimmäisenä mieleen nestemäinen jäätelö. Tykästyin ja jälleen kerran mainio lahja vietäväksi koska pullo maksaa noin 25€. </div>

Tullamore Dewn rommitynnyriviimeistelty uutuus oli hyvä viski napata väliin. Se yhdistää kivasti irkkuviskin ja rommin, menemättä kuitenkaan överiksi (vaikka lähellä rajaa mennäänkin). Sokkona jos olisi maistanut ei olisi harmainta aavistusta onko juoma rommia vai viskiä. Esittelijän mukaan erittäin mainio kolan kanssa myös - jolloin ei jälleen ole varma juoko rommi- vai viskikolaa. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Viskirommi on helppo juotava ja toimisi illanvietossa jossa pääpaino ei ole ehkä niinkään maistelulla. Maistelussakin tällainen on hyvin nollaamassa makuja. Hintaluokka oli vähän alle 35€ joten mitenkään pahan hintainen ei ole. Jälleen: ei hassumpi lahja - vähän erilainen juoma. </div>

Tullamore Dewn jälkeen Ailsa Bayn Sweet Smoke upposi minuun täysillä. Erinomainen makean (suolainen) savu nousee tästä viskistä esille. Savuisten viskien ystävänä tämä kolahti omaan suuhun erittäin hyvin. Eri yritä liikoja, mutta pitkä jälkimaku ja mainion tasapainoinen savu.<br />

Balvenie Peat Week 14yo</h3>

Aiemminkin maistettu tuttavuus pääsi tässä minimaistelussa hienosti esille. Aiempaa paremmin kokonaisuus oli erittäin maistuva ja Ailsa Bayn jälkeen Balvenien turve tuli upeasti esille ja muutenkin maku oli leveä sekä syvä. Jälkimaku oli mainio. Olen varsin tyytyväinen että tuli tämä maistettua uudestaan viime vuoden jälkeen. </div>

Näiden tuttavuuksien jälkeen en malttanut ohittaa enää Octomore 8.1:tä vaikka sitä olikin maisteltu jo useamman kerran. Samalla kuulin vähän miten Octomoren markkinat ovat kehittyneet ja esimerkiksi Octomore 9.1 on ilmeisesti jo myyty loppuun. Sijoittajilla on edessään todennäköisesti hyvä nousu 9.1:n hinnassa jos malttavat pitää pullot avaamattomina useamman vuoden. Huomioiden Octomoren erinomaisuuden voi olla vaikeaa olla niitä korkkaamatta.<br />

<h3>
Dalmore Vintage 2006 10yo, Michter's Straight Rye sekä Tullamore Dew Phoenix</h3>
<div>
Myöhemmin illalla onnistuin vielä maistamaan Dalmoren ja Michter'sin. Dalmorea on tullut maisteltua varsin vähän aiemmin ja kokemukset eivät ole olleet sellaisia että Dalmore olisi minulla jäänyt mieleen kummemmin. Ennenkuin nyt. Vaikka viski onkin savuton ja turpeeton, ei se ole mauton. Leveät hyvät maut, erinomaisen tasapainoinen ja maistuva omassa suussani. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Michter's Straight Rye toimi myös erinomaisesti. Osallistuin tammikuussa Michter's -maisteluun jossa tämäkin viski oli esillä. Ruisviskit osuvat hienosti suuni makunystyröihin joten tämän maistamista on helppo suositella. Ravintolalaiva Cindy meni ensi kesänä vierailulistalle - siellä on laajan olutvalikoiman lisäksi myös tarjolla mm viskicocktaileja - Michter's yhtenä "raaka-aineena". </div>

Viskeistä ja festarista</h3>
Itselle yllätys oli, että kaikki viskit mitä tuli maisteltua festareilla olivat hyviä tai parempia. Yhtään pettymystä ei tullut vastaan, sen sijaan useampikin yllättäjä nousi esille. Tilaisuuden tunnelma oli myös mainio (vaikkakin hälyinen rauhallisen alun jälkeen) ja erilaisten viskien & oluiden maistelu tottakai antaa tilaisuuden viskeille loistaa (ja leikata ehkä ne ärhäkkäät kohdat pois). Tosin - kun on maistellut useamman juoman niin viskissä täytyy olla myös hyvin makua joka uskaltaa tulla esille. Ujot ja hennommat viskit jäisivät auttamatta jalkoihin.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Entäs oluet ja muut tunnelmantuojat</h3>
<div>
Oluista lyhyitä muisteloita kuvien keskellä. Tunnelmakuvia tuli otettua jonkin verran - jos laajempi galleria kiinnostaa niin laitoin kuvat, ilman mitään kummempaa järjestystä, <a href="https://vesanopanen.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Turku+Craft+Beer+2019/" target="_blank">kuvagalleriaan </a>katsottavaksi. </div>
<div>

Level 11 valikoima oli varsin hyvä ja maistuva. Juice Balls oli todella hedelmäinen ja raikas olut.</div>

Teerenpelin viskit jätin tällä kertaa väliin mutta ehdottomasti halusin maistaa (juoda) uudelleen Viskimuulin, joka on erittäin mainio makunystyröiden nollaaja vahvalla inkiväärillä ja limella. Tästä saattoi tulla tämän kesän suosikkijuomani. Kaupoista tätä ei ilmeisesti saa hankittua, mutta Teerenpelin myymälöistä pitäisi pystyä ostamaan tätä pulloissa ulos. Jotain konkreettista edistystä on siis tapahtunut lainsäädännössä!<br />

Teerenpelin ginit tuli kuitenkin maistettua. Perus Pyygin oli ihan hyvä gin mutta ei pääse Suomen palkintoja keränneiden ginien tasolle. Ei nämä huonoja ole - päinvastoin. Näistä tehtyjä drinkkejä en päässyt maistamaan vielä. </div>

Illan ainoa maistettu siideri oli jääsiideri. Vähän kuin jääviini mutta ei kuitenkaan ihan. Tuoksu, alkumaku ja loppumaku miellyttivät minua mutta siinä välillä oli vähän juomalla identiteettiongelmaa. Tai sitten vain odotin jääviinikokemusta liikaa. Ei kuitenkaan yhtään huonompi kokeilu - mielummin tätä maistelee kuin ottaa perussiiderin.</div>

Pari Fiskarsin pontikkaakin tuli maistettua. Noita on ihan ok(hyvää) pontikkaa mutta tuo Bierbrand hyppäsi heti suussani astetta paremmaksi. Tuhdit voltit auttavat makujen esilletulossa. Ei maistu yhtään poltetulta minusta, vaan mainio mausteviina snapsiksi. Tarina heillä oli taustalla se, että eräs oluen panoerä jäi liian pitkäksi aikaa muhimaan (kävi yli) ja siitä ajattelivat tislata puhdistusainetta. Puhdistusaine kuitenkin olikin liian hyvän makuista, joten pienen vahvuushaun jälkeen päätyivät pullottamaan sen 52% teholla. </div>

Tänä vuonna kuitenkin kalenterit ja planeetat asettuivat oikeisiin asentoihin jolloin pitihän tämä mahdollisuus hyödyntää.<br />
<br />
<i>Mikään suunnitelma ei kestä ensikontaktia</i>. Ajatukseni siitä mitä maistelisin menivät tietysti uusiksi heti kättelyssä. Olin miettinyt tarjolla olevien (todennäköisesti huikeiden) viskien, kuten Ardbeg Lord of Isles, maistamista mutta päädyin kuitenkin siihen, että haluan vähän enemmän monipuolisuutta ja erilaisia makuelämyksiä. Ja onhan se niinkin, että Uisgessa on jonkin verran hälinää vaikka paikalla oli heti ovien avauduttua klo 15, joten viskiharvinaisuuksista ei saisi sitä kaikkea irti mitä toivoo.<br />
<br />
Tästä Uisge-matka alkoi.<br />

Aloituksen arpominen oli yllättävänkin hankalaa. Taliskerin 18-vuotias tuntui sopivalta pienen pohdiskelun jälkeen. Hyvä, syvä ja pitkämakuinen saarten juoma.<br />

Yllättäen ja pyytämättä suunnitelma vaihtui samantien täysin erilaiseen. Suosittelujen kautta löytyi lasista GlenAllachie:ta. Kuulopuheiden mukaan tislaamo on sekä uusi että vanha - se on tehtyt vuosikymmeniä viskiä pääasiassa blendeihin ja nyt lähihistoriassa se on tullut mukaan Single Maltien monipuoliseen maahan ja ensimmäiset pullot ilmestyvät myös Alkoihin lähiaikoina. Maistuva, perushyvä viski. Tätä pitää maistaa uudestaan vähän rauhallisemassa ympäristössä.<br />

Uisgen ensimmäinen pihvi, jonka tiesin haluavani ehdottomasti maistaa. Se on tietysti Octomore ja tässä tapauksessa 6-vuotias yhden tynnyrin pullote. Huikea kokemus, jossa yhdistyi Octomoren luonteenomainen väkevä turvesavu ja maku hyvin öljyiseen kokemukseen. Dramfoolin perustaja jutteli , tätä kehuessani, että hänen kauttaan voisi hankkia vaikka oman Octomoren tynnyrin jos pullo ei riitä.. Tämä viski jäi mieleen. </div>

Eikä Octomore ollut ainoa loistava Dramfoolin pulloista. Port Charlotte 15yo Single Cask on myös voittaja. Erittäin upea Port Charlotte vanhempana kuin koskaan - tämä tynnyri on alkupään PC tuotantoa ja 15 vuoden ikääntyminen on ollut makua lisäävä prosessi. Öljyisyys on tässäkin vahvasti läsnä, viski on muhkea, maukas, miedon savuinen/turpeinen ja jälkimaku - se on erittäin pitkä.<br />

Port Charloten jälkeen piti vähän nollata makumaailmaa, Redbreast Lustau maistui yllättäen äskeisen kokemuksen jälkeen hyvältä. Erittäin positiivinen kokemus. 21-vuotias voittaja jäi maistettavaksi toiseen kertaan.<br />

Jamesonin maistaminen ei ollut suunnitelmissa, mutta kuitenkin siihen päätyi kun keskusteli heidän edustajan kanssa. Crested oli positiivinen kokemus. Viski puraiseekin alussa aika ärhäkästi mutta pehmenee nopeasti ja lopputulos on miellyttävä. Jälkimaku on lyhyt, mutta tämä toimisi hyvin illanistujaisissa - helppo mutta viski.<br />

Seuraavaksi suuntana oli Suomen tarjonta ja Valamon 6-vuotias. Hyvin heidän viski kehittyy, vaikka tässä itselle tuli sellaisia makumielleyhtymiä jotka eivät liity viskiin mitenkään. Hämmentävää, mutta odottelen tämänkin kanssa toista maistelukertaa. Kirkkoviinikyspytetty Valamo on erittäin mainio kokemus sen sijaan - monipuolinen, tuhti ja maukas. <br />

Vihdoin oli aika päästä Bowmore-maisteluun. Listalla oli 15yo, Vaulta Edition 1, Tempest V, Devil's Cask II ja 25yo. Mahtava sarja viskejä. Vaultin suolaisuus miellyttää edelleen, Tempest maistui mainolle myrskylle mutta voitoin vei Devil's Cask II. 25yo Bowmore on myös mahtava ja täyteläinen viski, mutta Devil's Caskin intensiteetti ja maun pirullinen kokonaisuus kruunasi illan.<br />

Nuo osuvat omaan maailmaani parhaiten juuri itseä puhuttelevien elämysten kautta: savua, turvetta, nokea ja ölyisen monipuolista tuhtia makua joka ei lopu kesken.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879432701431025779.post-55713259390677678442018-09-29T20:44:00.001+03:002018-09-29T20:44:06.213+03:00Viski syysiltana<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW0fGjLqHsHBdn50StgUPRG2E4WDamOuoLMSCwlI7pCWaU7ZyfvzCVvzq5nsTukcDi_Bpad7CHQL-IppgICoJze_undqUUME7vH2_MwuqHNGKbOg4AOPiHMIrFvNdkIyTiNFsNmKvqV7_t/s1600/20180929194116-IMG_0281_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW0fGjLqHsHBdn50StgUPRG2E4WDamOuoLMSCwlI7pCWaU7ZyfvzCVvzq5nsTukcDi_Bpad7CHQL-IppgICoJze_undqUUME7vH2_MwuqHNGKbOg4AOPiHMIrFvNdkIyTiNFsNmKvqV7_t/s320/20180929194116-IMG_0281_small.jpg" width="320" /></a>Syysillat ja viskit ovat lyömätön yhdistelmä. Kuumalla kesälläkin tuli viskejä maisteltua, mutta iltojen alkaessa hämärtää elokuussa ja myrskyjen noustessa syyskuussa ne viskit saavat ihan uuden syvyyden tarinoissaan. Aberlourin A'bunadh, tynnyrivahvuinen Bowmore tai Laphroaig - ne vasta toimivia ovatkin tuulen ulvoessa ja puiden heiluessa.<br />
<br />
Tunnelma tosin on hiukan erilainen kuin edellisenä syksynä. Syvän metsän ja lähes erämaan hiljaisuuden sijaan ympärillä tervehtivät kaupungin valot ja äänet. Myrskytkään eivät tunnu yhtä voimallisilta. Vaikka tuo vaikuttaakin vähän ympärillä olevaan tunnelmaan, itse päätähti - viski - vie kuitenkin mukanaan eri tarinoihin. Highland Parkin viikinkiteema auttaa heittäytymään lohikääremlaivan retkiin, vaikkei se itse makuun suoraan vaikutakaan. Ardbegin kelttisyys, Lagavulinin aatelisuus ja Bowmoren merihenkisyys luovat omat puitteet matkoille jos niille antaa hiukan tilaa. Viskit ovat kuitenkin aina retki ja elämys, jossa pelkkä lasista maistelu ja nuottien luettelu tuntuu helposti ohuelta itselle. Hyvän tarinan ja seuran kanssa tilaisuus on enemmän kuin viski komponenttiensa summa.<br />

Hauskaa tässä muutoksessa on ollut pääsy mukaan aktiiviseen viskiympäristöön. Maisteluita olisi tarjolla enemmän kuin pystyy paikalle itsensä järjestämään. Seura ottaa tulokkaat vastaan lämpimästi - onhan tässä yhteinen harrastus ja intohimokin yhdistämässä. Ei se merkitsemätön polku aina johda rotkoon, tässä on päässyt matkalle josta paljastuu ihan uusia nähtävyyksiä ja elämyksiä.<br />
<br />
Maistellaan viskejä, nautitaan hetkistä! Kuuluisan, aivan helkutin hyvän, kotimaisen viskigurun sanonta keväältä vapaasti muistaen: ei ole väärää tapaa nauttia viskiä!<br />
<br />
Ja mitä lasissa kirvoitti näin sykyllä tämän? Blackadder Peat Reek 2014 vei ajatukset syksyiseen myrskyyn meren rannalla, kalliolle joka ottaa tyrskyt vastaan vuosisadasta toiseen. Merituulen mukana tulee kytevää hiillosta, savun pölähdyksiä, turpeista riuttaa (nimen mukaisesti) ja öljyisen makeaa tammea joka vanilijana jää katselemaan kun myrsky tyyntyy ja jäljelle jää lämmittävä nuotio. Mahtava viski, jonka mieluusti maistelee ilman vesilisiä. <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Turku on
osoittautunut hyväksi paikaksi asua oman viskiharrastukseni kannalta. Vaikka
vielä pitkään en ole Suomen vanhassa pääkaupungissa asunutkaan, on täällä
ollessa tullut osallistuttua jo pariin tastingiin (Highland Park ja Laphroaig)
ja pari seuraavaa on myös kalenterissa odottamassa. Eilen sai ensi-iltansa
Turun ensimmäinen olut- ja viskifestivaali Turku Craft Beer Festival, joten
tulihan siellä käytyä. Tapahtuman sivut Facebookissa: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/130246304308950/?event_time_id=130246314308949">https://www.facebook.com/events/130246304308950/?event_time_id=130246314308949</a></span></div>

oluiden lisäksi parhaita hetkiä olivat turinatuokiot eri maahantuojien,
ambassadorien, esittelijöiden, Suomen pioneerien, satunnaiskohtaamisten ja

viskien takana jotka toivat lisää eloa näihin lasipullojen elämänvesiin. </span></div>

Avauksena, toisen viskiharrastajan esimerkkiä seuraten, tuli kokeiltua miltä vähän erilainen Glenfiddich maistuisi pitkästä aikaa omassa suussa. Rommiviimeistely on mainio lisä, ja toi paljon lisää ulottuvuutta - ja samalla varsinainen 'Fiddich jäi taaemmaksi. Helppo maistella, toimisi sarjassa alkupäässä, mutta jälkimaku jää ontoksi. </div>

Balvenie 25yo Single Barrel piti testata myös. Balveniet jäävät minulle helposti liian kepeiksi eikä tämä ollut poikkeus. Ei tämä pahaa ole, kaukana siitä, mutta hintaansa nähden odotukset olivat korkealla. Messuhinta oli kuitenkin ystävällinen joten tätä testasi ihan mielellään. Oikealla alustuksella, oikeassa paikassa hyvällä tarinalla varmasti toimii paremmin - ja tynnyrit ovat kuitenkin aina omanlaisiaan.</div>

Viimeinen illan Balvenie lasissani oli myös Single Barrel sarjaa, mutta 15 vuotias joka oli kypsytetty ex-sherrytynnyrissä (Oloroso). Tässä oli jo enemmän intensiteettiä ja makua, erityisesti jälkimaku (tärkeä osa maistelussa!) hiipui hitaammin ja säilytti runsaan olemuksen miellyttävästi.</div>

Ardbegit - vanha tuttavuuteni - olivat myös paikalla. Uusi An Oa on Alkossa jo tilattavissa alle 80€ hintaan. An Oa tuo savun, nimenomaan nokisen savun, hienosti esille. Kuivaa, likaistakin mutta osuu juuri minun makuhermoon hyvin. Maku säilyy ja luo tarinoita. Ei ole yhtä runsas kuin Uige tai Corry, mutta testauksen arvoinen. Corry on aina Corry - muistaa vain ettei käy uimasilla siellä. </div>

Glenmorangiet tuppaavat jäädä itsellä vähän paitsioon - aina siihen asti kun sen 18o versiosta kaataa dramin lasiin ja maistaa sitä. Ei huono viski lainkaan. Nectar D'Or on viimeistelty Sauternes-tynnyreistä (kuten vaikka Octomore 4.2. Comus) ja edelleen pidän sen makeasta vaikutuksesta. Lämmin, laaja, pehmeä ja pitkään maistuva kokonaisuus.</div>

Pääsin maistamaan myös uutta Old Buck-viskiä, joka on pullotettu vasta viikkoja sitten. 7-vuotta kypsynyt viski jota tehdään hyvin pieniä eriä Beer Huntersilla Porissa. Tislaajan (Suomessa alan pioneeri!) tuli turistua hyvä tovi ja todettua yhteinen mieltymys Kilchomanin viskeihin siinä samalla. Mutta tämä Old Buck (48.x% vahvuus) makukokemuksena. Sanotaanko varovaisesti niin, että tämä oli yksi parhaista kokemuksista eilen. Intensiivinen, monipuolinen ja pitkään maistuva kokemus! Tässä on viski, joka saa vielä aikaan tarinoita. </div>

Aberlour A'bundah on ollut lasissa aiemminkin, mutta reilut 20 batchia takaperin. Eilen lasissa oli batchia numero 58 (59 taitaa olla jo kaupossa). Tässä oli samanlainen fiilis kuin ensimmäisessä A'bundahissani. Kuivaa sherryä ja paljon, mutta hyvällä sydämellä jolloin kokemus maistui jopa Old Buckin jälkeen (tai sen ansiosta?). Jos erikoiset ja ylitsevuotavat makuelämykset ei savuisella puolella kiinnostavat: kokeilkaa ihmeessä.</div>

Aberlourin jälkeen ei ollut toivoakaan siitä, että maistaisi jotain hetkeen. Makuja nollasi vähän 12 vuotias Redbreast ja sen jälkeen 15 vuotias Redbrest saikin aikaan jo miellyttäviä kokemuksia. Tällä tiskillä viihdyin pitkään juttelemassa Jamesonin Suomen ambassadorin kanssa - samalla sain kuulla tarinaa Redbreastista ja kieltämättä tarinoidessa 15 vuotias maistui entistä paremmalta. Mukava jälkimaku ja voisi hyvin olla verrokkina & kontrastina viskinmaistelussa. </div>

Ja kun Jameson Ambassador puhuu, ei auttanut kuin maistaa vielä Jamesoniakin. Pienen arpomisen jälkeen päädyin vähemmän stilisoituun Jamesoniin: Distiller's Safe. Redbrestien jälkeen toimi ihan hyvin, siinä oli hyvä mailan lapanousu, joka kyllä suli pois aika nopeasti. Mistä pidin oli intensiivisyys, jälkimaku ei jäänyt kummittelemaan.</div>

Teerenpeli on aloittanut etikettityylin vaihtotalkoot. Kasken klassinen tyyli on vaihtunut modernimpaan, ja vaikka vähän kaskenroihua ehkä kaipaan ei tuo näytä hassummalta. Teerenpelin Savu (belgialaisia maltaita, jatkossa brittimaltaat (ei skotti)) aloitti aika mitäänsanomattomasti. Siinä edustajan kanssa jutellessa tuli kuitenkin huomattua että parin suullisen jälkeen savuinen jälkimaku jäi pitkäksi aikaa, ja miellyttävästi, kytemään. Kerrankin savuinen Teerenpeli, vaikka viski kaipaisikin lisää runkoa ympärilleen niin jälkisavu (savusauna) on hyvä. Ja hinnankin pitäisi Alkossa asettua vaihteeksi houkuttelevaan osastoon (tosin jos tekisi vertailuhinnan 0,7 pullon mukaan hinta nousisi kisaamaan about Ardbeg 10 - An Oan kanssa ). Toivottavasti Teerenpeli alkaisi pullottamaan viskejään myös desin pikkupulloihin - näistä tulisi useampaa maistettua.</div>

Kyrö ei millään antanut maistaa heidän lauantain maisteluun varattua ruisviskiään, mutta ymmärrän kyllä että maisteluun osallistuvat ovat etusijalla. Olisi ollut mukava tehdä vähän verrokkia siihen pulloon joka meillä Kyröstä on tynnyriosakkuuden kautta. Sen sijaan maistoin heidän uutta Dark Rye Bitteriä ja ... maistui. Napue ja tuo Bitter ammentavat suomalaisesta niittymaisemasta yrttejä seokseensa ja sen huomaa kyllä makukokonaisuudessa. Suosittelen testaamaan jos Kyrön tuotteet kiinnostavat ja Bitterit ei ole inhokkeja.</div>

Scapa jäi vähän väliviskin rooliin illalla. Ihan ok, kohtuuleveä mutta helpon oloinen Orkneyläinen josta ei jäänyt pidempää jälkimakua. Maistelussa voisi olla mukana tuomassa kontrastia, mutta ei synnytä suurta tarinaa makuprofiilinsa pohjalta. Orkneyn tarinat ovatkin sitten oma lukunsa. </div>

Tullamore Dew:n kanssa sain mahdollisuuden (Kiitos!) tutustua siihen vähän uudesta vinkkelistä: pääsin maistamaan sen komponentit, joista viski loppujen lopuksi sekoitetaan ja perusversio laimennetaan. Komponentit olivat intensiivisiä (tynnyrivahvoja) ja hämmentävästi Single Grain teki niistä minuun erityisen vaikutuksen olemukseltaan. Näitä komponenttia voisi olla maisteluissa mukana useamminkin. Single Malt tuo Tullamoreen leveyttä ja arvokkuutta, kun taas Potstill pitää huolen ärhäkkyydestä. Tullamore Dew Phoenix on tynnyrivahvana versio, jonka tarina pohjautuu ensimäiseen lento-onnettomuuteen joka poltti koko Tullamoren pikkukylän vuonna 1785 ja kylä rakennettiin uudestaan tuhkasta. Jonka vuoksi Feenix, jonka maistoi komponenttien jälkeenkin. Viski on vahvaa, intensiivistä ja siinä oli ihan mukava jälkimakukin. Ei olisi hassumpi lisä maisteluihin tämäkään.</div>

Highland Park on
ottanut viikinkiteeman osaksi viskejä jo aikoja sitten, mutta oma tuntuma on että lohikäärmelaivoihin lisätään edelleen soutajia, jotta voidaan saavuttaa kaukaisia rantoja yhä nopeammin. Syynä tähän
tietysti on brändin kasvattaminen ja erottuminen kovan kilpailun keskellä.
Orkneyn saarilla tuntuu olevan myös hyvä perusta viikinkitaruston
hyödyntämiselle- sukulinjat vievät heidät jopa enemmän viikinkien kuin brittein
saarten suuntaan. Kaiken tämän tarinankerronnan keskellä ei haittaa, että
heillä on mainiot olosuhteet viskien pitkään kypsytykseen - ainakaan
varastoissa ei ole liiaksi lämpöä. </div>

Viking Scars on
Highland Parkin 10-vuotias viski uudessa, arpisessa, paketissa. Tyyli on
kieltämättä hyväännäköinen ja erottuva. Mutta ei se komea ulkomuoto, vaan se
ratkaisee mitä sydämestä löytyy. Scars on aloitusviski, jonka kanssa
kamppailussa voidaan ansaita ensimmäiset arvet. Taannoisessa maistelussa tämä
toimi aivan mainiosti pelinavaajana mutta myöhäisemmässä vaiheessa sarjaa ei
kilpi jaksa enää nousta torjumaan iskuja. </div>

Tuoksu on varsin
kevyt, mutta siitä voi löytää tammisia vivahteita. Maussa
tammi,vanilija,sitrukset ja mausteet (pippuri) nousevat kivasti esille.
Turpeisuus ja savuisuus ovat mukana vain hentona mausteena. Jälkimaku ei
pituudella kerskaile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Scarsia on helppo
suositella maistelun alkupäähän, koska se petaa kenttää seuraaville
sankareille. Yksin se ei saa aikaan saagoja, mutta osana tarinaa löytyy
tarkoitus ja paikka. Suomessa Alko myy Scarsia puolikkaassa pullossa ihan
järkevään hintaan, joten tämä on myös viski jonka voi viedä helposti lahjaksi. </div>

Vuosihan sitä taas vierähti niin vikkelään, ettei blogitekstejä ehtinyt saada edes tulille sitten edellisen Juhannuksen. Katsotaan mitä seuraava vuosi tuo keskikesän juhlien jälkeen tullessaan, mutta ainakin Facebookin puolella tulee juttua lyhyempien päivitysten ja kuvien muodossa. </div>

It is the point of no return, when you pour last dram out of the bottle and then it is empty. It is no more. It was unique at the best, relief at worst.<br />
<br />
I noticed that my original blog post about Teerenpeli Kaski, which I wrote three years ago, did not do it justice after all. Check the post, but beware: it is written in Finnish: http://savuista.blogspot.fi/2013/02/teerenpelin-kaski-kaskimaitten-janojuoma.html<br />
<br />
<b>What has changed in three years? </b><br />
<br />
Of course I have changed. I have walked on my road, found new treasures and lots of tastes in the Whisky world. Perhaps it has shown me a lots more of shades to this drams.<br />
<br />
Time has also changed Kaski. It has gasped air, it has traveled and it has been sleeping in my closet. In a sense, it has "matured". Not in a barrel-sense, but all that air has done some changes. Especially after the bottle had less than 1/3 of it's content left.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrADRwnb42-jdWc7U0Gx-yw6XlAVm_1RV_BNR5YZgScWFCdTuiUqbPrF2CDRoa_NBPuGMlxjRHa0LhGs9YhndCs94ejQMBLli_-0vSd0n-G6rXe1Cqig1w5PpF43A1HhzCNr58L3AjETj/s1600/Kaski.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrADRwnb42-jdWc7U0Gx-yw6XlAVm_1RV_BNR5YZgScWFCdTuiUqbPrF2CDRoa_NBPuGMlxjRHa0LhGs9YhndCs94ejQMBLli_-0vSd0n-G6rXe1Cqig1w5PpF43A1HhzCNr58L3AjETj/s320/Kaski.jpg" width="318" /></a><br />
<br />
So there it was. And the bottle was empty.<br />
<br />
What took me by the surprise, was that how good Kaski felt. It had much more broader shoulders than three, or even two, years ago. There was depth and soul. There was even some smoke present in all that complex form.<br />
<br />
Overall, the experience was into the standards I expected of Kaski three years ago. Perhaps I have changed more than the whisky, but frankly I don't care. Man can change. Man's nature can change. Whisky can change too. This is evolution, not the final stop.<br />
<br />
<b>What can change the nature of the..</b><br />
I have found that last drops of strong flavored drams (peatsmoke) usually only get better and better. The air does change it, which is great - you can live with the Whisky and experience all sides of it. Meanwhile you will have much more contrast, since you obviously have sampled some other whiskies during those years.<br />
<br />
I hope the same effect will happen to my Hosa ( http://savuista.blogspot.fi/2015/03/teerenpeli-hosa-from-black-cask.html ) as well. It still has plently of content, so I might just sip it carefully every few months.. Just make sure about it's quality and observe the change.<br />
<br />
Dram on! Let's enjoy the world of whisky in all it's forms!<br />

Not that many of those whiskies are around these days.<br />
<br />
These days you are not allowed to advertise whisky in newspapers anymore - at least not in Finland.<br />
It would be good to store some of the current ads, they would be interesting to check out in 70-80 years from now.<br />
<br />
What is the most interesting whisky ad you have seen so far?<br />

surprises and news than I thought, but looking whisky-wise the current year also
tells the sad story where smoky drams have higher prices which means less
experiences on the tasting table. However, there has been excellent drams and
drams that have surprised me on their second/third tasting time.<br />
<br />
<strong>The highlights of the 2015</strong><br />
Best Smoky Dram of the 2015: Octomore 7.2.<br />
Best Surprise Dram: Rugen Distillery 43<br />
<br />
And of course our whisky themed wedding is on my highlights, as well as a
tasting with friends having more than 20 drams in six hours. <br />
<br />
It is also interesting to note, that I’ve written much less blog articles
this year than earlier. 2015: 32, 2014: 61, 2013:77 (best so far)<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a safe celebration and have a Excellent Year 2016!<br />

They started their distillations 2002, so it will be a while until they will celebrate their 100th year. However, they have passed their 10 years old mark already, which is starting to show more in the quality. <br />
I managed to get myself into Turku Teerenpeli some time ago, and there were two very interesting choices to sample. I’ve noticed that in bars the overall experience with whiskies is always much more shallow than it is at home or another more suitable environment – but at least you get a nice idea what those whiskies are. <br />

This the the Teerenpeli whisky that is being sold in TallinkSilja cruise boats sailing on the Baltic sea. While I’ve had great encounters with Portwoods, I was looking forward to taste this one. The nose was strong, sweet and it had some woodcask in it. Not bad, but nothing special. <br />
<br />
The palate’s first impression was a burn. This dram burns much more than it should. After the first shockwave, it organized itself into more sweet line, showing signs of depth. The depth disappears towards the end sooner than I was expecting. Due to this one’s smoldering hot iron start, I added some water – which is an exception. It made the overall experience a lot better, cooling down the worst burn and energized the dram for a wider range of taste.<br />
<br />

The interesting is that those 16 liter casks had earlier Pedro Ximenes sherry and in the cask the whisky is maturing/finishing every day. So if you taste it once, you can to get back there to check how it has changed in some months.. They are cask strength (58.5%) so I was getting ready for some intense meeting.<br />
The nose is … whisky. Raw, spikey, bourbon. Some oak and a bits of sherry.<br />
The palate however, is from a another world. It is strong – yes, wide, intense and seducing. Sherry gets mixed with Vanilla in a way I don’t recall earlier (a positive). This is already the best Teerenpeli whisky I’ve had so far! The whisky has a interesting rough structure, which marks the map with X and gives it +5 boost.<br />
Learning from the previous dram, I added some water into this one too. It helps to bring out oak and vanilla, resulting a more complex result. <br />
The nose after finish is a splendid one, sherry mixed vanilla reminded me a lot about Cuban result.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879432701431025779.post-7301957662889676312015-11-13T11:10:00.001+02:002015-11-13T11:37:43.068+02:0043 different shades of Switzerland, Rugen Distillery: Forty 43 Three whiskyThis is something that does not walk onto your door every day. To be frank, I hadn’t event looked up before if they do make Swiss whisky or not – so this was a very bright flash from the dark blue sky. <br />
What is known about the Rugen Distillery? On July 1st in the year of 1999 the laws in Switzerland changed so that it made possible to produce whisky in those mountain valleys. the first Swiss whisky came out 2003 under the name “Mountain Highland” – and it was a single cask. I suppose, it was JUST the cask that appeared on the first year. The production went on in small quantities, until 2008 they produced their first Swiss Highland Single Malt. Rugen Distillery was opened 2011, and they now do their magic in the shadow of one Rugen mountain (and under one roof). They do have a long history with brewing beer, since they’ve been doing it over 100 years already. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aacuk_NTizQ/Vaf2mq4La4I/AAAAAAAADJ8/7F0snhldyO8/s1600-h/20150714151921-IMG_0041_small%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img align="right" alt="20150714151921-IMG_0041_small" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ly14ssVRngA/Vaf2nyDjitI/AAAAAAAADKE/Lox_2og7c64/20150714151921-IMG_0041_small_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="482" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="20150714151921-IMG_0041_small" width="322" /></a><br />
What about this dram then? The facts are that it is at least three years old (NAS), it is distilled gently in two steps and it is tamed down to drinkable percentage (43%). The interesting fact is also that the maturation happens in select oak barrels, that are resting in Rugen bedrock cellars which date back to year 1875. <br />
<br />
The color is very similar to Scottish Highlanders and Belgian Own Whisky: amber. <br />
The nose is my favorite part: sweet, honey, balanced, floral notes and some vanilla. Not bad, not bad at all.<br />
<br />
The palate is also very sweet. But after the while you can pick up Swiss chocolate and not that Swiss coffee from it rather easily. As time passes, the fire begins to burn hotter but it still remains sweet. Just add a bits of oil and the result is a enjoyable one. <br />
At my first tasting, I was drinking the freshly opened “neck” out of this bottle. It’s nose was good, but the palate had not that much taste in it. So I do recommend to try this again after a few days, in case you need to start a fresh bottle in a tasting. Or give it a lots of air before tasting it.<br />
It is apparent, that the whisky is young – very young – but it is ok, especially if you are looking for something Highlandish and without any smoke. This is sweet, and would work nicely as a after dessert dram too. I hope they plan to mature their whisky a longer time in those casks, just to see how this one evolves.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879432701431025779.post-58837322468129287512015-11-07T00:00:00.000+02:002015-11-07T17:56:09.248+02:00Port Charlotte PC12 58.7% of the Bruichladdich<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JX8Y8mVYYbM/Vg_Gj7y9xJI/AAAAAAAADcw/5BVY33bVOfc/s1600-h/20150912141024-IMG_4242_small%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="20150912141024-IMG_4242_small" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VkBmGDY04JI/Vg_GkaOb-OI/AAAAAAAADc0/M6rHRkceDvc/20150912141024-IMG_4242_small_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="482" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline;" title="20150912141024-IMG_4242_small" width="482" /></a> <br />
Before I start to talk about this dram, I must ask.. how do you pronounce that? Laddie has done some interesting names with PC series earlier as well but this time I have absolutely no direction with that name. Oileanach Furachail. It is gaelic of course and refers to the apprentice who works with his master to learn the trade to be one day a master. Master and apprentice there always is.<br />
<br />
I’ve been following Port Charlotte series since PC7, and I got the taste PC6 as well in one bar. I have no idea how PC5 was, but I must say it has been interesting ride all the time. There has been really different PCs with different aspects and all have been strong, no-bs, deterministic and full of dram.<br />
<br />
PC12 is not a exception.<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ntrL2CTu0PA/Vg_GkvhPdxI/AAAAAAAADc8/lOC7DQ6pQds/s1600-h/20150912140951-IMG_4236_small-2%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img align="right" alt="20150912140951-IMG_4236_small-2" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OFqOA4Q9BsE/Vg_GlEIAPBI/AAAAAAAADdE/rLY1xIa5RZc/20150912140951-IMG_4236_small-2_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="482" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="20150912140951-IMG_4236_small-2" width="482" /></a> The nose is a big fat hit on your face. It tells you to stop kidding and start taking this seriously. Viking style – nothing soft, but instead you meet harsh power, smoke, peat and sweet fruits. Ok, that was the soft side – they need to have skalds too.<br />
<br />
If you let it have it’s time then you will find out that there is oak as well. <br />
The palate is a clean cut with a real sharp Damascus axe. It starts with a stunning smooth cut but emerges with a sensation that you lost and you have been cut in half. The defeat.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a combination of full alchohol, crispy and smoky peat, exotic fruits, off this world spices and oiliness that has been inside earth for eons. The skald’s sweet talk emerges after you have endured warrior’s yells and bashes. It is really complex and constantly changing going through the kings of past centuries, bringing out their characters and quirks. Finally the time has no meaning and you end up staring at the endless sea of stars when the Northern lights paint the sky with red,green and magenta. It is the eternity. Following sips and easier but they reveal new faces, new experiences and tactics.<br />
<br />
PC12 is the most complex PC I’ve tasted and it is one the most complex raw power drams I’ve had in a long time. This is the whisky to experience, you don’t simply just taste this.<br />
<br />
You might get a more easier turn with this if you add water. But I think that you should try to endure this raw and use smaller sips instead and forget the time. Adding water is like letting the wave to get inside your boat: you will get wet and drown without experiencing the full storm instead. <br />
<br />
The Finish is something I was counting on. It is long, burning, smokeash and peaty. You will taste this a long time in your mouth so don’t experience this one in a rush. Give it time and you will find the well of stars.

Since I, again, visited the famous Whisky Bar in Turku I thought I’ll share with you some of whiskies I got to taste in there. What I really like about that place is that it’s owner is a Whisky enthusiast as well so there are always new great drams and stories to find. It is a bit of shame I am not there this weekend, since they’ve got a unique Ledaig tasting happening. If your feet takes you there, don’t be afraid to step inside despite the tough sprawl look they’ve got. It is not the place for those who like it tidy and filled with classical music. This is about rock, rough and ride! And their prices are extremely reasonable! <a title="http://whiskybarfin.com/" href="http://whiskybarfin.com/">http://whiskybarfin.com/</a></p> <p>Now that you know the place, you can guess why the stores in there don’t start with water.. unless that water has been through a distillation process in Scotland. So, I walked into a bar and got us some great Scots. The choice was easy since I knew they had drams in there, that were going to be nearly unique to experience. If you go there and find the choices overwhelmed, don’t be afraid to ask for advice from the bartender. And you can ask them to give you a few choices. Remember that you get to taste more drams if you don’t take full shots of each. I tend to take 2 cl each usually, so you can actually try out more whiskies than you could with full 4cl shots. And you don’t down them at once, the bottom can stay down.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8Ik-bnf9P5M/VjOQYSHOUEI/AAAAAAAADhE/m-68LzW48PQ/s1600-h/Ben1972%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="Ben1972" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="Ben1972" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vpvrqNaDGas/VjOQZMhEXoI/AAAAAAAADhI/Onufb2Ou-C4/Ben1972_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="272" align="right" height="482"></a>the first.. was BenRiach 33YO single cask from year 1972.

The classic gentleman, who does not brag nor pick a fight. Soft voice, strong opinions, oak skin. The last of these: oak, was nicely present in the finish. This is one of those whiskies that define what older than 30YO drams should be like. There is nothing that stings, nothing that is bitter, it is broad, experienced and knows the world. </p> <p>This was a good dram, but it’s “flaw” was that it was too ordinary. There was nothing rough, that would burn into your memory and make it memorable. It might work miracles if you were sitting with friends and talking philosophical topics, sipping off this dram. We were not.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-T_m-oybh5KM/VjOQa1Xo3SI/AAAAAAAADhg/0g83cgHs5So/s1600-h/Ben-peated%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="Ben-peated" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="Ben-peated" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V2o19PiV2nw/VjOQbg_cb1I/AAAAAAAADho/qOoKO19-YdE/Ben-peated_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="298" align="right" height="482"></a>The peated BenRiach, that followed, was younger and held a sword in it’s hand. 21 years old, but it knew the tricks and treats. Strong, swiping and yet it had seen lots of trails in it’s life. 1984 was the year when I was at the elementary school and probably the only whisky reference was from the Tex Willers. It was the year when people at BenRiach distilled and casked this one. </p> <p>We determined that this was the second best whisky in that evening. There was smoke and peat, but it was softer than what I’ve accustomed to experience. Softer, but yet fully figured, nothing was thin about this. I also noticed that it had a great balance between the elements: peatfire, fruitground, spiceair and wateroflife. </p> <p>The finish was tasty, long and I founded out that I liked to hold on to this dram a lot longer than I originally thought. It was precious treasure to be let loose eventually. Our group really enjoyed this encounter and at this point (noting 1972 version as well) I had fully changed my opinion about BenRiach to the better.</p> <p>But the night was not over, our journey through the bar continued and we ordered next two drams to keep us warm and talkative: BenRiach Sauternes and Tawny Port Woods. These drams were also from the years before 90’s. Barely, but …</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JvyMsfMMwcg/VjOQcGcOnvI/AAAAAAAADhw/zHEZcUhqaXY/s1600-h/Ben-sauterner%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="Ben-sauterner" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Ben-sauterner" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g3BzMMHUvdw/VjOQcgdv1sI/AAAAAAAADh4/MMlAJZXnOJg/Ben-sauterner_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="642" height="361"></a> </p> <p>Since visiting to Canada (Ice Wine!) and Octomore 4.2. Comus I have been fascinated with Sauternes finish. There has been real interesting encounters. This one.. well, it was not what I was expecting. It was a dram of three stages: Sweet oil, Witch judgement (burn to death) and finally absolution by the sweet taste. The overall experience was overwhelming, yes, but it lacked the balance I had gotten used to in the previous two. This one was rough under it’s cover. I hope I get to taste this one again to get a second opinion.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-feeklcRugPA/VjOQdKd_vgI/AAAAAAAADiA/P_hBrx13n10/s1600-h/Ben-port%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="Ben-port" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Ben-port" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5rGIUa4OA-M/VjOQd-ulkiI/AAAAAAAADiI/s_jW2RyanKI/Ben-port_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="642" height="361"></a> </p> <p>The last BenRiach, we tasted, was the Tawny Port finish. Like sauternes I have been really into port wood finishes lately. The first sip was like wiping your butt with silk: really soft. The next phase is like you had been eating a lots of raw chili earlier! The burning sensation grow and exploded into it’s full effect. This one is brutal demon, but the end is sweet and long. It will definitely dominate. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xfKXeHy5C88/VjOQeaOCw3I/AAAAAAAADiQ/dTz0zyOKD0A/s1600-h/Ardbegday-2%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="Ardbegday-2" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Ardbegday-2" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oZgYTDUorcw/VjOQfD9LghI/AAAAAAAADiY/NUTgiq1Zdn8/Ardbegday-2_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="482" height="482"></a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>Our next experience was with 2012 Ardbeg Day.

The prices rocketed when this landed onto some shops. I kind agree with the label: release the peat! </p> <p>This is a “classic” Ardbeg for me. It has peat. It has smoke. It has fire. It has balance. It has the character that grew in the North and traveled the South. There is nothing but pure experience that directs it’s magic with force. This was the best dram of the night. We are Ardbeg fans, yes.</p> <p>I saved drops of this dram for a while in my glass, when I finished off BenRiachs before getting to experience this one again. Most likely I won’t get another chance for this in a long time, which I regret. A great dram with a great attitude!</p> <p>But our night was not yet over. We had a meeting with the Old Buck. The Beer Hunters were the first (perhaps, most likely, at least amongst the first) whisky distillers in Finland.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cvN43koi0Bw/VjOQg5MA0xI/AAAAAAAADiw/1RhHokO0bR8/s1600-h/Oldbuck-2%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="Oldbuck-2" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Oldbuck-2" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nC1Of3Jk4f4/VjOQhmdiNvI/AAAAAAAADi4/gsQC4Y2eK-o/Oldbuck-2_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="302" height="302"></a> </p> <p>I especially like the Barrel number. Two. This bottle was from the first 100 bottle’s patch they produced.</p> <p>To try this one, is to play the Game of Thrones. It gets violent, brutal and sexy. It is rude, lethal, fierce, tempting, cunning, mad and dirty at the same time. It will get under your skin, burn and release the dragons. This is a experience, that you don’t get much. The euphoria this one releases is awesome! This is not just about it’s power (70.6%!) but it is about the full matrix that includes all those sides of taste that are so familiar from the GoT. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7M1MRGU7h48/VjOQiDvheUI/AAAAAAAADjA/DLyKwcHh240/s1600-h/Oldbuck-1%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="Oldbuck-1" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Oldbuck-1" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s4RdCbk8QpY/VjOQi7fWxiI/AAAAAAAADjI/Msq8EnX_IE0/Oldbuck-1_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="272" height="482"></a> </p> <p>The night continued on, but there isn’t anything I can write about since the remaining whisky got no justice after the Old Buck.

Crying from the Isle of Skye they have had their handful of modern day products as well – smoky killers like Dark Storm for example. Many of those variants have been without any age statement. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-X0pNP8atFIs/Vg_BV0ZHGII/AAAAAAAADcY/MoUb3Mlyaug/s1600-h/20150912141631-IMG_4264_small%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="20150912141631-IMG_4264_small" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="20150912141631-IMG_4264_small" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VuqjOgG4ujE/Vg_BW26Ss9I/AAAAAAAADcg/DtMYYlHe0qM/20150912141631-IMG_4264_small_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="322" align="right" height="482"></a> So when I was dancing on the baltic waves (Silja Line) there was something in the whisky shelf that needed some careful thinking. Had I been more aware (and access to the internet) I would have not thought so long. But the end result counts: Talisker 18 – with reasonable price – ended on my trolley. It is good to visit those ships now and then – too bad it is a long way from Finland’s backwoods to get onto open sea. Or perhaps it is a good thing.. </p> <p>Talisker 18 a good product, with a bold age statement. Solid Talisker, nothing fancy. 45.8%. This dram has won prices and memorized moments. </p> <p>The nose expresses like Islay drams: peat, fruits, smoke and pepper. Wood and salt. It tells it is Talisker alright, hinting a fun night with stories and laughter. If you could give quality a scent this would be a strong candidate.</p> <p>The palate starts carefully, adds smoke and ash then then finishes with a explosion of wood, salt, pepper, peat and gentle fruits. Strong spices are present, making this a definite drink of stormy islands with high and aggressive waves bashing into it’s solid ageless rock shores. When the wave retreats there remains burned smoke with gently poking spices and peat. This is a dry whisky, not too sweet, so it also feels bitter but in a way that pleases me. Second sip starts with less force and the gale wind is also less severe, the storm has found it’s rhythm and pace. At this moment you can start having more conversation and not just focus fully on the whisky. Third sip add intensity again, bringing out more fruits and spices while letting the smoke and ash remain more in the background. I must say I am impressed how this plays along with my taste and changes it form constantly. </p> <p>The Finish is not endless, but it is a decent one. The waves break off and the calm remains. This dram is more focused on the moment you sip it, not in the afterglow. Some ash remains with pieces of peat, but they start fading away. The clouds pass, the sun shines again. Show is over.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879432701431025779.post-27095861846000461602015-09-20T20:29:00.001+03:002015-09-20T20:29:31.288+03:00Octomore 7.2. the noble peatsmoke beast meets the beauty<p>There are drams to be found, thought the rogue knight after a long night at local tavern. I will need no other, if I find the source for the legendary nectar of gods and titans. There can be only one dram, continued suddenly the scamp, dressed as a celestial good-doer, which emerged into the thin air. How much did I consume that green drink anyway, thought our dear knight, but the scamp waved him off promising the one true dram and the fame. So the knight went onto the quest, but he yet has not found a way to recall his steps. Apparently, there can be more than one true dram. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QeWvek3PHqI/Vf7s8nAEuRI/AAAAAAAADaA/b19n2ysUSTE/s1600-h/20150912141146-IMG_4247_small%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="20150912141146-IMG_4247_small" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="20150912141146-IMG_4247_small" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4llNpKKWYY4/Vf7s9BAekFI/AAAAAAAADaE/Ahlx7i46UaU/20150912141146-IMG_4247_small_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="652" height="652"></a> While I was really tempted to put the (in)famous Octomore into one true dram’s position it would not be the truth. Octomore eats one true drams as breakfast before it starts to prep for real fights. This is not the killer rabbit, but it is a killer alright. It is a mighty beast that cuts down oaks and would not be ashamed to wear high heels either. I you need a monster, you don’t have to hide this under your bed. Just chat with it before calling it the night.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4oqhJijeq8s/Vf7s9reYsmI/AAAAAAAADaM/za2upeSp2ng/s1600-h/20150912141131-IMG_4245_small%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="20150912141131-IMG_4245_small" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="20150912141131-IMG_4245_small" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ESKA42d32XY/Vf7s-UQLEGI/AAAAAAAADaQ/ubRAOy6Jnl4/20150912141131-IMG_4245_small_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="322" align="right" height="482"></a> The Octomore 7.2 is a another .2 version from the Bruichladdich distillery. It will cut through you like you were a straw of barley. 58.5% of raw power combined with peatsmoke level of 208 there is a winning combination for anything. 7.2. is a vatting of two different kinds of maturation: american oak and ex-red wine (syrah) barrels. The specs and color are quite right. However on the color: it is the flowing amber, liquid gold, white wineish. Not what you’d expect off syrah barrels (red) so those barrels must have been rather washed. </p> <p>The nose reveals the Octomore: peatsmoke with sweet tones. There is some freshness and fruits too, but this is Octomore alright. </p> <p>The first sip is the magnificent experience. Explosion of raw power, peat, phenols, smoke and ash directly feed into your mouth, tongue and soul. This is a bomb released and there is no stopping of the flow. The following sips enhance the experience, but they don’t act so fierce. There is also sweet inside, buried deep into later layers of the enchanted ritual. Burned sugar also rises it’s facade after a while and leaves lots of oil to crawl around the mouth.</p> <p>The finish.. Ah, the finish. It lasts a long time. Ash, peatsmoke and sweet combination runs endlessly through the mouth. </p> <p>This is Octomore of Islay. This has again shown who does this ultimate peat experience the best. I dare someone to challenge this and do a peatsmoke monster that van beat this one! I know Laddie will do it, but will there be a competition?</p> <p>Something to note, when you open 7.3. and taste your first drams they won’t have the same effect. Either leave the dram to get a lots of air before tasting or take a few drams with friends and leave the bottle to wait for a month, two or three. It gets better, a lot better. These drams need to breathe. </p> <p>Meanwhile, I hope I’ll get to taste 7.3. at some point. <a title="http://www.bruichladdich.com/the-whisky/octomore/octomore-073-169-ppm" href="http://www.bruichladdich.com/the-whisky/octomore/octomore-073-169-ppm">http://www.bruichladdich.com/the-whisky/octomore/octomore-073-169-ppm</a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879432701431025779.post-61078268603534691192015-09-11T00:00:00.000+03:002015-09-11T16:50:27.274+03:00The Wedding Whisky BarSo, you got the bar.. but what do you want to stock in there?<br />
Of course that depends on you and your party. If you are having a Whisky tasting I don’t recommend Glen Scanlan and basic Four Roses, even if you have decors naming them. We did have also Famous Grouse, but it was used for Scottish (Irish) coffee only so it does not really count.<br />
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H7eu14oFn9A/VeXlCL9A9mI/AAAAAAAADSM/7uye4TJ_dEk/s1600-h/20150722141341-IMG_1200_small%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="20150722141341-IMG_1200_small" border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZNjxoAPr4ng/VeXlC_Y5U0I/AAAAAAAADSU/65Cg_SsKy4k/20150722141341-IMG_1200_small_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="428" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline;" title="20150722141341-IMG_1200_small" width="642" /></a> <br />
Of course we had Ardbeg there. The TEN and Uigeadail are essential. <br />

<br />
<br />
And Bruichladdich was also a must have for us. Since we didn’t want to get people drunk we mostly avoided cask strength drams on purpose. Bruichladdich had a nice set<br />
- the Organic Scottish Barley for those who like it light but tasty<br />
- Port Charlotte Peat Project<br />
- and Port Charlotte Scottish Barley with some heavy peat<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Then we had a selection of Laphroaigs: QA cask and Select for the easier part, Quarter Cask for those who knew what they like and PX Cask that really hit the spot – people liked that one a lot!<br />

The basic Highland Park 12YO was also a well placed dram. Balanced with sherry maturation, it was a sweet yet tasty dram to go during later hours as well.<br />

Of course there cannot be a tasting/bar without Kilchoman. The Machir Bay was good, but the Loch Gorm didn’t have a drop in it after the party. It was not a full bottle in the start either, but it was a very well liked with whisky newcomers and also with more experienced connoisseurs. Jura Prophecy also found it’s seat, but despite the bottle and style it didn’t get much attention. <br />

Bunnahabhain was representing their corner of the Islay with a sole bottle of Darach Ur. Not the most typical Bunna, but it did create some diversity into the offering. <br />

Bowmore made apparance with 12YO and 100 degrees proof, which actually was found really tasty. Yet again whisky, that gets better once it gets more air! <br />

And we had the toasted rye, that Kyrö uses to create their Rye distills! If you get a chance to taste it.. try it! It is excellent and smoky. <br />

We also created a guide to people, so they could look into it and selected the whisky what would work the best for them.<br />

The set was ready to receive guests! At this point I was in a lots of hurry, so I didn’t even got a better photo! I guess I had something else in mind. <br />

This was a chance meeting, in a backdoors alley where all the streetlights had gone black. Stumbling there, I got this onto my hand and moved on. When I got the chance to taste this later, it was a big surprise.<br />

I’ve tasted it a few times in bars, but so far I didn’t got the thing in it. Ok, but .. Of course it can be the peat and the smoke which were lacking for one reason. This got my attention with the word “Peated” , with a story that they enhance the peat drying to the malts Islay style: peat infused kilns , the fact that it had a age statement (10yo) and the price (low).<br />
So what did I got?<br />
The nose is sweet, oaken and also somewhat peaty. There is not much in the nose, but it smells pleasant.<br />
The palate strikes with the peat and some smoke. I like this one! The waves of peat strike the shore again and again. It is a nice attack of peatwarriors who aim to breach the wall. Later some fruits, sweets and oak emerge with some spices. During the following sips the oak gets more wood and the peat waves lower a bit.<br />
The finish mixes oak, peat and some smoke. <br />
For this one’s price, it is a great dram. Peaty, yet tasty. It lacks the power and complexity/width of those Islay peatsmoke kings, but it makes a great warrior who can take the charge while the kings are gone. And it is really about the day, do you wish to listen to the kings or does the lighter peat cheer your day for better. <br />

Some worn out wood, old door, couple of old pallets and some solid old looking planks for the desk. The result is that kind of a bar, that takes some effort if you want to move it onto another place – or you actually don’t do it. Just build it where you want it to stay. It is worth it.

(aka Whisky Wedding )<p>Often it is the marriage of wood and whisky, but this time it involved people who enjoy each other, the life and smoky but delightful drams. And of course the wedding would not appear in this blog, if it did not include those elements of Islay. Our cask lid with names and date came directly from the Bruichladdich where it had been a actual whisky cask lid. We also managed to gather up various whisky themed props and decors to spice up the summer celebration. With a lots of effort and help from friends and family we built this fabulous day directly into our home. And since we live on the countryside, what would a wedding be if it did not last for two days.. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ez360scsQow/Vbj0ENuvCgI/AAAAAAAADLw/BSEawWZNjUk/s1600-h/20150724150208-IMG_2231_small-4%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="20150724150208-IMG_2231_small-4" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="20150724150208-IMG_2231_small-4" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hmxhhe-_uZA/Vbj0EhwBSDI/AAAAAAAADL0/XZMyawWQncQ/20150724150208-IMG_2231_small-4_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="482" height="482"></a> </p> <p>Of course I have to add one more photo of my beautiful and smart wife, before getting into more details of whiskies and drinks.

What is different, is how they dress up. The rest of differences I’ll taste soon enough.<br />
Laphroaig, like all distilleries in general, are making changes. Usually they move into more non-age statement whiskys (like this one) to get more products out more quickly and to experiment. Of course the financials win here. How good whisky can you produce and how much money you can get from it. They don’t work for charity, but then again not all products please us who chant in the name of smoky drams.<br />
<br />
Comparing the old PX and the new PX. <br />
<ul>
<li>The color is almost the same. The older version is a tiny bit darker in hue. </li>
<li>The nose is slightly different. The older version is more like a pirate, while the new version is the married captain. It has the experience, but is also softer on surface. </li>
<li>The old one has a striking palate. Strong, Hard hitting. a sharp knife that stabs but you will feel euphoria. A wind of the sea that blows and brings the rain with southern spices and fruits. </li>
<li>The new one’s palate is a lot softer. It is much more smooth but when comparing to the pirate: the captain does not have his left arm anymore. The bite is gone and it has affected his outbursts as well. More careful and planning and also less dangerous. </li>

But that’s not all in the story. It has changed, and it will please more people as it is now. It is less harsh, less crude and it will speak you in Shakespearean lyrics.<br />
<br />
Occasionally that is good, since you don’t want to dwell too deep into sailor’s stories. But then again, the rounded body is not always what you want to experience. You need a companion that is rough and tough, to bring out the joy in the darkest moment. <br />
<br />
But it is also about the contrast. The new PX is a lord among noble men and damsels of high kings court. It is still the captain of the ship, but it would not dare to oppose the pirate it learned the tricks from. However, it will charm the dames and it can dance too if needed. Choose your adventure first, then choose your companion for it.<br />
<br />
Off the record: the finishing scent in the glass is excellent in both of these. The pirate is stronger, though. <br />

It just makes the necessary sounds with the right tone. It sings quality and well thought finalization. Not letting things half made, or just good enough. But the stopper sound does not tell you anything about the whisky, but it can compliment the overall experience.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q2W8bltYufQ/VagBR0_kEDI/AAAAAAAADK8/1PHlD1LB8Xo/s1600-h/20150714145456-IMG_0016_small%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="20150714145456-IMG_0016_small" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="20150714145456-IMG_0016_small" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EsDsOpGdFQQ/VagBSUofAKI/AAAAAAAADLA/Wc5ghgRggpk/20150714145456-IMG_0016_small_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="482" align="right" height="482"></a> Ardbeg produces their special bottling (or two) each year. Some of those bottles travel to this faraway land, which hasn’t seen much summer this year. The Perpetuum is a NAS bottling (again) and it contains different kinds of Ardbegs that has been matured in bourbon and/or sherry casks. I did have a long wait for this one, as Ardbeg is one of my favorite drams.</p> <p>There are different Perpetuum versions out there (the Committee version is, I hear, a better one) and this one is from the bigger batch (alc 47.4%). But let’s get down to the business, shall we.</p> <p>The nose is very different from the recent Ardbegs I’ve had (like Galileo and Uigeadail). This has a lots of direct smoke, dryness and ash. I have to admit and to ask.. “where’s the peat?”</p> <p>The nose brings out ashes and smoke at first. Then the spices follow with the oak wood. Saltiness gains more ground as the more hasty notes have run away. The following sips enhance the smoke and bring out some peat too. This is interesting, since this reminds me a lot about Kilchoman’s three year old drams they bottled 2010 and 2011. My memory may fail me, but the Kilchoman resemblance is very strong in this one. </p> <p>So, I can’t say this is bad. I like Kilchoman and I love Ardbegs. This is not the traditional Ardbeg, but something completely different. The strong ash and smoke appeal to me very much, but I think this lacks the full body and width/depth. This is a very two-dimensional (bicentennial) product, which is nice to taste but it does not scream for the seconds. Alas, the finish is too short. I am still waiting for the Never-Ending part. This is perhaps one of the biggest disappointments for me, since the long finish lets you enjoy the whisky a much better (and longer) between refills. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pRgzOZS0cj8/VagBSxnxY-I/AAAAAAAADLI/35Uys1FsiKI/s1600-h/20150714145455-IMG_0015_small%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="20150714145455-IMG_0015_small" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="20150714145455-IMG_0015_small" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ibq1IvF7_4o/VagBTZy_njI/AAAAAAAADLQ/bRmpRRyb52E/20150714145455-IMG_0015_small_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="482" height="482"></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879432701431025779.post-15496804726265179882015-07-15T22:16:00.001+03:002015-07-15T22:16:30.982+03:00A short visit to Whisky Bar: Highland Park Odin, Adelphi Arran, Laphroaig 12 yo and Cairdeas 2011, Octomore 7.1<p>While at Turku and visiting bars, you definitely do not want to miss the (in)famous Whisky Bar near the central marketplace. While it can be a rough, small, badass and rock’n’roll bar it also contains one of the best selection in Whisky I’ve seen in Finland. And it won again a award for being the best bar in Turku. Visit the bar, chat with the barkeeper and meet the crowd. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LO_eg5dThus/VaaxetnodPI/AAAAAAAADIg/hKxmyFgiNTQ/s1600-h/Wb4%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wb4" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Wb4" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eZjc6VcAVZU/VaaxfHS1-WI/AAAAAAAADIo/zeV61stvrLc/Wb4_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="642" height="361"></a> </p> <p> </p> <h1>Highland Park Odin 16yo</h1> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2r_6P4E0aGk/Vaaxf9hbRuI/AAAAAAAADIs/wADornL89rI/s1600-h/Wb1%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wb1" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="Wb1" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WIq-xvQMZn4/VaaxgQdVMnI/AAAAAAAADI4/dWodt9o6mt4/Wb1_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="272" align="right" height="482"></a> The meeting with Allfather was delayed for many reasons, but I finally got my audience in Asgard. The Odin is the latest of the more expensive Viking/Valhalla series from Highland Park. The previous “woodstand” whiskies were Thor, Loki and Freya. I liked them all.</p> <p>The nose has the overpowering god embedded in it. This is the overlord, he rules. Not that sweet nor soft, but the history, demeanor and the character is strongly present.</p> <p>Palate strikes with a dominative hand. This is Highland Park, but that overall taste stays in the background. There is nect.. sherry of the gods, viking legends, fell deeds, justice and smartness. All this has been equally balanced on sword’s edge. The finish lasts like a roman senator’s speech: until it is cut. </p> <p>I am glad I got to meet this god. </p> <h1> </h1> <h1> </h1> <h1> </h1> <h1> </h1> <h1>Arran 1996 single cask #1839 by Adelphi</h1> <p>This has the story behind these drams. Somebody bought a barrel from the Arran a long time ago. Eventually the whisky matured but the owner sadly passed away before it was even bottled. Via the whisky loving hands in Finland talks with Adelphi lead to a unique bottling: Adelphi bought the barrel and bottled half of the barrel directly, the other half was finished in a refill sherry cask before bottling. </p> <p>So what are these alike?</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4cz0TAqlXdQ/VaaxhMxWK5I/AAAAAAAADI8/WpgiYXUive0/s1600-h/Wb3%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wb3" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Wb3" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bkMBFruXHkY/Vaaxhr4S26I/AAAAAAAADJI/tyLzR3Fcx0c/Wb3_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="642" height="361"></a> The first half is.. a Whisky. Deep. Wide. Not that sweet, but a blast. This has a strong nose and the palate is balanced, keen, pure, soft and overall.. it is a great Whisky what mystical courtesans would serve, to make the night most pleasantly perfect. This is a mystery, stylish and a a wonderful experience.</p> <p>Sherry finished half is sweeter than his brother. There is more hidden tastes waiting to be found. The palate also has the rough sweet structure but it is soft as a royal silk cloth. This is not aggressive, but a player of games and hidden secrets. </p> <p>Both of these Arrans are exceptional and great drams!</p> <h1>Laphroaig 12 YO Nordics</h1> <p>Laphroaig made a special bottling for Nordic region, and for a nice addition this one actually has the age statement. At this point it was good that the whisky was getting more stronger in taste and nose.</p> <p>The nose in this one is just amazing. There is the Laphroaig, but with a more complex and wider taste. The smoke, the peat and the iodine is just the spot on. A wonderful taste, that is soft but smoky with a perfect balance. It is easy to enjoy, but also gives lot to my mind of peatsmoke maniac.</p> <p> I recommend to meet this Laphroaig in it’s natural environment (=anywhere).</p> <h1><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2UtCT9W53N8/VaaxiNXq7MI/AAAAAAAADJM/MuFYnqxZVM0/s1600-h/Wb5%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wb5" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="Wb5" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IDdLa0NAL70/Vaaxifib97I/AAAAAAAADJU/ix4im2DwVzs/Wb5_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="482" align="right" height="482"></a>Laphroaig 2011 Cairdeas</h1> <p>While at the Whisky Bar I spotted the Cairdeas in the shelf. While it was not 2014 nor 2015 (as I perhaps hoped) I hadn’t taste 2011 either. After the grand 12 years old, this didn’t rise to the spotlight as well. </p> <p>To put it short: A nice Laphroaig with a great smoke, tar, camping fire, landspace, flight and a good character. I enjoyed this one too, which is not a bit surprise.</p> <p> </p> <h1>Octomore 7.1.</h1> <p>Previously my latest talkabout with Octomore was at version 6.2. For a bad luck, I missed 6.3. totally and I had already lost my hopes with 7.1. too. I did see the Octomore very early on in the bar, but I decided that I’ll taste this one the last. And it was the right thing to do so.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m5EfaZ4WFSg/Vaaxi_WHoNI/AAAAAAAADJc/ZRH9w1klBxE/s1600-h/Wb6%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="Wb6" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Wb6" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V3PSv0HsERI/VaaxjeJOLfI/AAAAAAAADJk/4tGXTMWMhWM/Wb6_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="482" height="482"></a></p> <p>Have you challenged yourself and tasted the Octomore? If you have, then you know it is about peatsmoke and “how high can you go”? It is about breaking the limit. About finding your limit on what you like in your whisky. Especially if it is about peatsmoke. This is a Octomore. This blowed the previous drams away, wiped the table clean and filled my mouth with sweet taste of peat and smoke. Over 200ppm is a experience, that can fry your nerves or you can just ride the wave, laugh and love the moment.</p> <p>This was a super good finish for the exceptionally bad ass and strong tasting. Thank you Whisky Bar!</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
