Eiskeller-Whisky 12 Year Old Single Cask Fass 4

Nose

From the very first nosing, it becomes clear why this whisky won over the jury. White pepper dominates the nose - not aggressive or disruptive, but aromatic and inviting. Behind this, layers of orange and honey unfold, giving the whole a warm, sweet base. Malt and cinnamon join in, accompanied by exotic notes such as turmeric and liquorice with an earthy undertone. This combination of flavours is fascinating and already shows that this is a whisky with personality in a glass. The red wine flavour of the cask is already noticeable on the nose and promises great things for the palate.

Taste

The ice cellar whisky unfolds its full splendour in the mouth. Oily and extremely full-bodied, it envelops the palate like a silky cloak. The white pepper from the nose turns into black pepper and brings a pleasant spiciness that is perfectly rounded off by cinnamon. The flavour experience is nothing less than spectacular: a spice aroma like an Indian spice ship - this poetic description hits the nail on the head. Cardamom, coriander, fennel and a multitude of other spices dance on the tongue. The French oak and the red wine pre-fermentation of the barrel have created a great flavour profile here.

Finish

The finish delivers what the nose and palate promised. Clove and wood dominate the finish, while a furry texture fills the mouth and ensures persistence. Liquorice and slightly nutty notes round off the taste experience and leave a lasting impression.
