Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
Metallica, Slipknot, the Flaming Lips, and other bands haven’t completely cornered the market on rock and whiskey tie-ups. Germany’s Ziegler Distillery produced this bottling in its Aureum 1865 series of single malts in a partnership with the German band Grave Digger, complete with a coffin-shaped box. This six-year-old whisky has a nice, malty nose with notes of honey, vanilla, buttered popcorn, and a hint of lemon pepper spice. The taste starts off malty at first with a good, thick mouthfeel and a bit of barley sugar, followed by a slowly building note of lemon pepper spice and touches of honey, vanilla, and butterscotch in the background. The spices linger on the dry, long finish with subtle hints of honey and lemon zest underneath. (November, 2019)
