Overview

More Info

German single malt doesn't get talked about nearly enough, and Eifel makes a strong case for changing that. Distilled in Germany's volcanic Eifel region using a column-then-copper-pot method, this 8-year expression spends years in medium-toasted red Bordeaux barrels before finishing in cream sherry casks. The result leans rich and brooding: toffee, dark fruit, black currant, and warm spice, with leather and tobacco on the nose. Bottled at 46%, it rewards a slow pour after dinner, neat or with a single cube.
Tasting notes

Nose: Subtle malty, cereal notes, light woodsmoke up the nostrils. Doesn’t smell like any particular single malt I’ve had, yet is clearly a single malt. It’s pillowy soft. Deep caramel notes open with air as does cream soda syrup.

Palate: Caramel-forward, black pepper toffee. Lightly numbing on the tip of the tongue, orchard fruits and fruitwood over the front and eventually the whole tongue. Astringency joins late on the back palate. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, silky at first and turns heavier and spicier as it sits and settles into the corners of my mouth. Drinks about 10 points above proof.

Finish: Caramel apples with a healthy dose of vanilla and black pepper. Sweet, lovely and fun to drink.
