Nose

The first nosing reveals aromas of red fruits, vanilla, and caramel. Base notes of apple and pear are complemented by a subtle, slightly perfumed oak aroma. The complex aging in seven different cask types—German virgin oak, acacia, American oak, ex-bourbon, sweet wine, chestnut, and Oloroso sherry—provides an unexpectedly deep and harmonious scent profile.

Taste

On the palate, the single malt impresses with its pleasantly oily mouthfeel and a mild sweetness. Woody caramel and hints of red fruits create an initial impact, while a gentle maltiness rounds off the overall experience. A touch of black pepper adds a pleasant spiciness without overwhelming the palate.

Finish

The finish is medium-length and shows spicy notes of oak and caramel that gradually fade. The fruity flavors remain subtly in the background, almost reminiscent of bourbon-like traits, but with a more balanced and refined approach.

Thoughts

The Evermann Wilhelm Single Malt is an accessible and flavorful whisky, well-suited for beginners yet offering enough quality for seasoned drinkers. It doesn’t feature any extreme or standout notes but impresses with its balance and quality. Those looking for a well-made, easy-drinking single malt will not be disappointed. Due to its gentle complexity and well-matched price-to-quality ratio, this whisky is likely to appeal to a broad audience. A solid representative of German whisky craftsmanship, proudly showcasing its Black Forest heritage.
