Foosty Puddin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿<p>A quiet Sunday afternoon sipping this fantastic Deanston and browsing a music book about The Byrds, written by a friend.</p><p>Of all the Deanstons I have had, this is my favourite. Nine years in Bourbon barrels and finished for three in Pedro Ximenez casks. Probably not a first-fill PX cask, as whilst the influence is there, it's not overpowering the wonderful Deanston spirit. </p><p>Cask Strength at 58.1% ABV, and of course, no chill-filtration or added colour. </p><p>Chocolate, orange peel, and strawberries on the nose, with a touch of water releasing further aromas of dark fruit, including figs and raisins. Lovely and sweet on the palate with more fruit, along with nuts, vanilla and caramel. A beautifully balanced dram.</p><p>Just 2015 bottles were produced, and sadly, all gone now at the distillery, so I will sip and enjoy it while I can.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/whisky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>whisky</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/scotch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scotch</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Deanston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Deanston</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Singlemalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Singlemalt</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scotland</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/thebyrds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thebyrds</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a></p>
Foosty Puddin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿<p>Friday night drams and fitba.</p><p>Eight-year-old Deanston finished in Banyuls casks, a French fortified wine from the French/Spanish border, NC, NCF at 55.5% ABV. <br>Dark sticky raisins, sultanas and dates on the nose with wafts of liquorice and cola. Big flavours hit the tongue with more dark fruit, chocolate, treacle toffee, and gentle spice.

Donnerstag - Die Arbeit läuft heute irgendwie von alleine. Die große Herausforderung ist da eher das Wetter. Die schwülwarme Luft bringt unsere altersschwache Klimaanlage im Büro an den Rand der Verzweiflung, aber sie müht sich redlich. Gegen Mittag entlädt sich mit Macht das Gewitter, das sich schon den ganzen Tag angekündigt hat. Selbst durch meterdicke Wände sind Donner und Regen zu hören. Teils erschrocken, teils fasziniert stehen Kollegen an den wenigen Fenstern und schauen zu, wie scheinbar apokalyptische Regenfälle das Gelände unter Wasser setzen. So schnell, wie das Gewitter kam, geht es auch wieder. Nach kurzer Zeit steigt der Dampf des letzten Regens auf und der Asphalt trocknet schneller, als man überhaupt Asphalt sagen kann. Es wird Zeit, den Heimweg anzutreten...
Unser kleines Heim ist nach einem spontanen Besuch beim Gartendealer unseres Vertrauens um einige Grünpflanzen reicher. Tarzan kann jetzt gerne einziehen.
Zwischendurch werden die spärlichen, aber gut gelaunten Nachrichten der Thronfolger auf Klassenfahrt gierig aufgesogen. Morgen Abend kommen die beiden zurück, und wir freuen uns tierisch darauf.
#amEndedesTages schmeckt der #Whisky irgendwie nach #Knoblauch. Die Ursache bleibt ein Rätsel, umgeben von einem Mysterium, eingehüllt in ein Enigma. Es schmeckt trotzdem!
Morgen schaue ich mal, ob das Wasser immer noch rund um unser Bürogebäude steht. Vielleicht lohnt es sich, eine Badehose mitzunehmen...

#Whisky fact: if you smell the inside of a whisky glass the next morning, it's going to smell like deliciously concentrated flavor syrup. Whereas if you smell the inside of a beer glass, it's going to smell like a trash can that many alcoholics have thrown up into.

Werbung in eigener Sache, wieder in Sachen #whisky:

Am 20. September bin ich in #Frankfurt für das nächste wissenschaftliche Whiskytasting.
D.h. ihr trinkt sechs ausgewählte Whiskys, während ich über die Physik und Chemie von Gärung, Destillation & Co erzähle.

Das ganze ist etwas kurzweiliger als es klingt 😅 Ich rede nicht die ganze Zeit, zwischendurch werden auch die Drinks vorgestellt.
