Imagine it's the year 2010, Barack Obama is president, the iPad has just been invented and somewhere in the Scottish Speyside, a young GlenAllachie New Make is slumbering away in an American bourbon cask. 14 years later, in 2024, this whisky comes back to life - at 62.4% vol. and with a story to tell that takes us on a journey between continents and worlds of flavour.
Regional exclusives often hold a special charm. The Glenlivet 13 Years 1st Fill American Oak, crafted specifically for the French market, showcases how even within the classic Speyside style, intriguing variations can arise. Matured in first-fill American oak casks and bottled at 40% ABV, this whisky promises an easy-drinking experience. But what makes it stand out?
With the special release Double Trouble – Peated, St. Kilian celebrates the 40th anniversary of a cult film, yet keeps the true protagonist in focus: the whisky. Known for its experimental spirit and bold cask choices, this German distillery delivers another striking example. Aged in rare Ramandolo sweet wine casks from northern Italy, this peated single malt masterfully balances power and refinement.
Braeval - a distillery that is often overshadowed by its more famous Speyside neighbours, even among whisky connoisseurs. This is mainly due to the fact that official bottlings are virtually non-existent. Instead, most of the production ends up in blends. Fortunately, there are independent bottlers such as Sansibar that make it possible to enjoy such hidden treasures as single malts.
While other countries are still debating whether they can distil whisky at all, the Danes are simply marching through and demanding premium prices for their Danish whiskies. And you know what? They have the courage to do it. At 47.80% vol. and without an age statement, this Danish whisky presents itself like a rebellious teenager: young, untamed and damn self-confident. Incidentally, the Heather Edition does not mean that heather has been thrown into the barrel here (although that would come as no surprise with the Danes), but that this whisky is intended to capture the rough, windswept landscape of Denmark in the glass.
Award-winning and rightly celebrated! The Eiskeller whisky 12 years single cask cask 4 from the Lambertus Bräu und Brand distillery has made history: As the winner of the German Whisky Awards 2025 in the prestigious "Single Malt Cask Strength (unpeated)" category, it came out on top against over 100 German whiskies. Organised by the Verband Deutscher Whiskybrenner e.V. and blind-tasted by a jury of experts, this award is the accolade for German whisky. Anyone looking for an exceptional German single malt that not only meets international standards, but exceeds them, should definitely read on. This whisky is a shining example of what German distilleries are capable of - and why they increasingly deserve the attention of the whisky world.
Who would have thought that the Rhineland - actually known as a white wine region - is home to a German whisky that can hold its own against its Scottish relatives? The Steinkeller 12-years single cask whisky from the Lambertus Bräu und Brand distillery impressively proves that German distillers have long been capable of more than just schnapps and grain.
When it comes to honest, unadulterated whiskies, the Wolfburn Langskip is a real insider tip at a very good price. The still young Wolfburn distillery, based in the far north of Scotland near Thurso, brings a statement to the glass with this strong representative that experienced connoisseurs in particular will appreciate: blunt, direct, sweet - and full of character.
The young Wolfburn distillery in the northern Highlands has ventured into an elegant cask experiment: eight years of maturation in cognac casks, an unusual choice that combines character and charm. The result is a fruity, malty single malt that arouses curiosity - especially on the nose.
Wolfburn, the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland, is known for its handcrafted and elegant whiskies. With the Vibrant Stills Sauternes Cask 2016/2024, they've once again delivered something exciting. Aged for 8 years – first in ex-bourbon, then in first-fill Sauternes wine casks from France – this release offers bright fruitiness with structure. Bottled exclusively for Germany, it’s definitely worth a closer look.
Ten years - that's quite a milestone for a young distillery like Wolfburn. Since its foundation in 2013, Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery has made a name for itself with consistent quality and characterful small-batch releases. The 2023 10th anniversary whisky is more than just an anniversary statement - it's a kind of assessment: what can Wolfburn do if given time - and rest?
The Vibrant Stills Bourbon Barrel 2015/2023 edition by Wolfburn is a small batch release made exclusively for the German market. Aged for 8 years in fresh bourbon barrels and bottled at a robust 50% ABV, this Single Malt Scotch Whisky presents both the gentleness of the Highlands and a surprisingly pronounced smoky tone. Non-chill filtered and bottled in its natural colour, it feels pure – and delightfully complex.
