Rich, Dried Fruits
2023-06-11

Thomas Ewers bottles German whisky with a Scottish soul under the brand name The Westfalian. The Westfalian is only available as a single cask. Today we have Cask 121 in the glass - a 6 year old single malt matured in an ex-Tobermory Sherry cask.

We would like to give you the opportunity to participate in a private bottle sharing at cost price with this bottle. Take a look: Bottle Sharing

Smell

The nose is a real fruit bomb. We smell blackberries, grapes and a lot of dried fruit and dates. The nose develops into a combination of walnut and toasted marshmallow. We think of freshly toasted brown bread.

Taste

The malt starts off with great viscosity and oiliness. There are sweet notes of molasses and oatmeal. Then the palate changes to cinnamon, chocolate and an earthy nuttiness with walnut, hazelnut and roasted almonds. Despite the use of unpeated malt, there is a hint of smoke.

Finish

The finish is medium long and sparkling. There is a slight saltiness and a good amount of dark fruit. Probably due to its young age, the oak note is barely perceptible.

Conclusion

The Westfalian is a regional product of the highest quality. Real experts are at work here. Cask 121 offers an unexpected combination of great classic flavours. Unfortunately, the regionality and low volume are reflected in the price.

84/100 - Excellent
