Maison Ferrand's innovation team created the new rum creation Canerock in collaboration with Jamaica's two legendary distilleries Long Pond and Clarendon. In the Canerock production process, each ingredient (vanilla beans, coconuts, ginger and spices) is infused individually so that it can develop its full aroma. The individual distillates are then aged for between 3 and 10 years in American oak barrels and a small proportion is then given an additional finish in spent sherry casks. By blending the individual distillates, the blend is intended to fully reflect the tradition and terrior of Jamaica as an exceptional spirit.

Aromas

The bouquet of Canerock Spiced Rum captivates with rich and full-bodied pastry, vanilla, coffee, chocolate and coconut aromas. On the palate, a sweet caramel note is initially perceptible, accompanied by spice and raisin notes. Gradually, pimento and delicate oak tannins join in. The long finish is sweet and spicy in equal measure, reminiscent of poppy seed cake, dark cherries, plums, which are accompanied by fine spicy notes reminiscent of mint, ginger and cloves.

Flavours

Our first own-brand rum - the Double Wood embodies the freshness of Jamaica with the aromas of Nicaragua. It impresses with its mild nature and is gently integrated into the alcohol. It is a typical "molasses rum" that plays with its fine sweetness. Our master blend offers a delightful play of aromas on the palate, which includes light notes of vanilla, cocoa and caramel.

First in bourbon, then in cognac barrels, this approx. 5-year-old value-for-money champ from Belize and Guatemala matures. With some power, it is a wonderfully soft pleasure of remarkable aromatic complexity and with a noticeable character of its own.

Aroma

The first impression on the nose is of animating freshness - the scent of tropical fruits merges with that of fine spices. The palate is initially dominated by velvety vanilla and intense honey sweetness, but soon the fruity notes reappear, underpinned by expressive tart-sweet facets. Sip by sip, the brandy reveals its depth of flavour, with the distinguished tannins of dark woods, a hint of cocoa and the subtle influence of the two different barrels. Only in the finish does it show its power, when a wisely measured pinch of warming pepper is added.

One of the most popular bottlings from the Bowmore distillery is the Bowmore 15 year old. The distillery was founded in 1779 on the famous island of Islay in Scotland. Locals say that the distillery began around 10 years earlier. This single malt is first matured in bourbon casks and then receives a fine stay in 3-year-old Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for the finish, which is quite remarkable and gives the single malt even more aromas.

Aromas

With a slightly higher alcohol content of 43%, the color tinted with dye and a chill filtering, the Bowmore 15 conquers the hearts of all connoisseurs. An extraordinary mix of sherry, bourbon and peat, which only makes you want more. Nuances of raisins, fine smoke and cedar wood can be found when enjoying this single malt.

The annual blend from traditionally 2 countries of origin is this time a pure Caribbean co-production. A first maturation phase in bourbon barrels there is followed by a second one in France. The result is the usual fruity-harmonious pleasure.

Flavours

On the nose, the noble blend shows all its opulent splendour. Sweet honey and vanilla scents combine with nutty, but also citrusy notes. Their fresh elegance is also immediately present on the palate, cushioned by flawless umami flavour. Then the whole cornucopia of fruits opens up - the lemon remains, joined by banana, coconut and clearly yellow fruit (apricot). But also nutmeg spice and playful woody components complement the aroma play. In the finish, the sweet and gentle impression of this fine rum reasserts itself - toffee and caramel, complemented by tingling cinnamon.

Worth knowing

Plantation is basically the "rum department" of the renowned French cognac producer Ferrand, and this classic has been in the product range from the very beginning. This noble drop from Barbados also matures first in bourbon, then in cognac barrels.

Aroma

The olfactory notes initially set the mood for a classic "dessert rum". Intensely sweet notes of caramel, noisette and chocolate pamper the nose. The first sips confirm this impression on the one hand, but on the other hand the taste palette is much broader. Acidic-fresh tones of pineapple and passion fruit differentiate themselves, complemented by finely spicy oak scents. The fruity components gradually gain a sweet dried fruit character. In the finish, all the existing aromas come together again in beautiful harmony, complemented by exotic spices.

Through his good relations with the best Caribbean distilleries, Alexander Gabriel had the opportunity to discover distillates of different ages with an impressive variety of aromas, which were refined in former Ferrand barrels. In order for each rum to express the full potential of its homeland, each rum goes through the typical production and plantation distillation process of its country of origin.

On the palate, a multi-layered fruity aroma of peach, bananas, plums and walnuts unfolds. Gradually, spicy notes of the finest vanilla, cloves and cinnamon join in, underpinned by a hint of fresh pastry. The long-lasting and dry finish is characterised by the taste of fresh mint and roasted coffee and almonds.

Der 10jährige Ardbeg ist der erste non – chill – filtered Whiskey des Hauses, d.h. er wurde nicht kaltgefiltert und enthält deshalb mehr Geschmacksstoffe. Seine wahre Stärke liegt darin, dass er den Malznoten nachgibt und nicht den Torfrauch heraushebt, sowie die subtile natürliche Süße die vollkommene Balance des Whiskeys betont.

Aromen

In der Nase breiten sich zunächst tiefe Rauch – und eine frische salzige Meeresbrise gepaart mit einem Hauch Gewürzen und einem Anflug jodartiger Trockenheit aus. Er umschmeichelt den Gaumen mit einem komplexen und vielfältigen Mix aus anfänglicher Toffee – und Schokoladensüße gepaart mit Zitrus – und blumigen Aromen, die dem Single Malt eine delikate Erscheinung verleihen. Wenn sich der Whiskey weiter öffnet werden die schweren Torfnoten mit Anklängen von Tabak -, Rauch – und Espressoaromen verfeinert. Der langsam und warm abklingende Abgang ist typisch für Whiskeys von Ardbeg stark und gewaltig.

Dieser traditionsreiche und sehr beliebte Brandy ist 15 Jahre im Solera-Verfahren gereift, die Fässer beherbergten vorher exzellenten Sherry. Seit 1887 betrieben, ehrt die Marke in ihrem Namen eine der bedeutendsten Persönlichkeiten der spanischen Renaissance.

Aroma

Deutlich ist der traditionell in „Pot Stills“ destillierte Brandy von der Reifung in Sherryfässern aus Eiche geprägt – Holzaromen und Sherryduft sind schon in der Nase präsent. Sie überlagern jedoch keineswegs die ureigenen Noten des Brandes, deren süßliche Fruchttöne zunächst die Olfaktorik mitbestimmen, um dann am Gaumen stetig mehr Raum zu greifen – vor allem die Assoziation „Pflaume“ geht dem Genießer nicht aus dem Kopf. Im Hintergrund bleibt permanent eine schmeichelhafte sanfte Süße. Der anhaltende Abgang ist wärmend und vollmundig, mit einer schönen Vanillenote.

This long-matured fine brandy from Jerez is distilled from the best Palomino grapes. The name component ‘Solera’ refers to the ageing process exclusively in American sherry oak barrels.

Flavour

On the nose, the brandy is wonderfully smooth, with gentle exotic spice notes, cocoa flavours and nutty facets. All of this then pampers the palate in the most beautiful harmony. The flavour is much more full-bodied and concise than the moderate alcohol content would suggest. Sip after sip, more and more cosy caramel sweetness with vanilla elegance spreads across the taste buds - and of course a ripe, seductive fruit bouquet with dried fruit, plum and apricot. The long finish conveys an almost buttery mouthfeel, but also has traces of a noble bitter flavour.

The individual rum distillates for the blend of Platation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve are distilled in Batson 1850 Twin Columns using the pot still method. Following distillation, the rums are matured for up to 3 years in former American bourbon barrels on Barbados. After the Atlantic crossing, the rums are decanted into smaller used oak barrels from Ferrand and stored for another year in the cellars of Chateau de Bonbonnet/Cognac. The double maturation in different wooden barrels gives the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve its unique elegance and finesse.

Product information

The bouquet of the amber-coloured rum is typical of that of a classic Barbados rum, as these stand for complexity and finely balanced aromas. At first, the notes of ripe exotic fruits and vanilla sweetness are perceptible, quickly joined by delicate hints of peach and coconut. On the palate, the rum presents itself warmly and multilayered with an abundance of sensual notes of candied tropical fruits and vanilla pods already at the first sip, which harmoniously combines with a second world of fresh fruit aromas and delicate tannins shortly afterwards. In the long-lasting finish, the Plantation Rum Barbados Grande Reserve presents itself just as warm and multi-layered with notes of tropical fruits, vanilla and coconuts.

Like other distilleries, Talisker first had to survive a series of fire disasters before it was able to become the most popular distillery in the region. Their "signature" product and bestseller is appropriately named after them.

Aroma

The aroma of this single malt is incredibly multifaceted, with fully ripe fruit tones of citrus and tropical fruits. But also the characteristic Skye aromas, somewhat reminiscent of milder Islays, are immediately present and remain so on the palate: peat and smoke, combined with a salty-mineral sea scent. But the whisky also has a good dose of pleasant honey/caramel sweetness. The spicy nuances take hold more and more, but the ravishing fruitiness is permanently present - until the never-ending finish. Absolutely balanced!

Useful Information

If you are on the south coast road of the "Kildalton Shore" from Port Ellen to the Kildalton Cross, you will inevitably find yourself at the gates of the Ardbeg distillery. It is named after the Gaelic expression for "small hill", Taigh - stail Àirde Beaga. The Ardbeg brand Wisheys are known for their intense, aromatic – smoky and peaty notes. The statement to describe the Ardbeg whiskeys as "heavily peated" is not wrong, but still too "very simplistic". The whiskeys of the neighboring distilleries Laphroaig and Lagavulin are peated about the same as those of Caol Ila and yet the smoky notes are very different in all of them. This begs the question of why? This is largely due to the different distillation processes. The tube that connects the gooseneck of the spirit still with its belly guides the condensed liquid back into the still. This reflux not only increases the complexity of the brand, it also makes it lighter because the vapor gets more copper contact. The result of this process is simple, "sweetness". In addition, the fermentation period was extended. Short fermentation times give a brand a sharp smoky note, while a long fermentation process makes it significantly creamier and contains more acid.

Flavors

The name Uigeadail comes from the lake of the same name, from which the Ardbeg distillery gets its peaty water. After the maturation process in bourbon and sherry barrels, it is not cold filtered and at barrel strength with 54.2% vol. bottled. The Uigeadail can confidently be called Ardbeg in its most massive form. In the nose it surprises with a ripe and smoky note, as well as a concentrated sweetness, which is composed of dark fruits, christmas cake, floral notes, fresh sea air, oily leather up to notes of chocolate and raisins. In terms of taste, it is initially cautious on the palate, but this quickly changes to expansive and elemental, where it unfolds its full strength and full-bodied texture. This convinces with a fascinating balance between sweet sherry, malt, peat, winter spices and deep smoky flvors, which are repeatedly broken through by the alcohol. The astonishingly long finish with deep mocha, raisins, light peat and aromatic smoke notes rounds off the enjoyment.

Produced on the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts for the renowned Guyanese producer DDL, this fairly priced top-shelf spirit based on premium rums is an ideal summer drink, its coconut aroma making it just as suitable for drinking straight as it is as an ingredient in fruity mixed drinks.

Flavours

An absolute feel-good drink, whose lovely sweet aroma picks you up before the first sip and takes you on an imaginary holiday trip to the tropics! On the palate, of course, coconut reigns supreme, added to the molasses rum as a natural flavouring agent. Its opulent melange of creaminess and nutty-smooth sweetness carries the drinking pleasure at all times, but also leaves room for the fine notes of the rum to develop. Fruity tones can be tasted as well as the noble woody astringency of the maturation barrels; above all, however, the Belmont captivates with a charming, teasing hint of vanilla, which harmonises perfectly with the coconut flavour. Of course, it's also a great companion to a noble Habano!
