Молодой (3 года) немецкий односолодовый, лёгкий солодово-фруктовый профиль с яблоками, грушами и цитрусом. Пить можно, но простой и незрелый; опытные ревьюеры сдержаннее и считают оценки выше 70 завышенными.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — солодовая сладость с зелёным яблоком, грушей, цитрусом и лёгким дубом, у части дегустаторов проступают тропические фрукты (манго, ананас), ваниль и ореховые тона вплоть до слабой хересной ноты; почти все отмечают заметный, хотя нередко хорошо встроенный спирт. Во вкусе преобладают солодовая сладость, жёлтые фрукты и умеренная перечная пряность, послевкусие короткое-среднее, сухое, пряно-дубовое; крепость 45% многие называют гармонично интегрированной, а сам напиток — чистым и питким для трёх лет.
Главная линия критики — молодость: металлические и спиртовые ноты, плоскость и одномерность, ощущение почти неотдохнувшего дистиллята. Опытные ревьюеры заметно строже: при отдельных высоких баллах их вердикты тяготеют к 66–77, с прямым тезисом, что для по-настоящему зрелого виски здесь ещё далеко и оценки выше 70 не вполне оправданы. Менее авторитетные авторы щедрее (78–86) и охотнее хвалят баланс и потенциал при дальнейшей выдержке. Разброс оценок велик, но качественное описание профиля у всех согласованное — расхождение не в том, что чувствуют, а в том, насколько прощают незрелость.

Well, what should a 3 year old whisky offer? In the nose even better than expected, but then shows the youth in the mouth. Everything is not complex, flat and the youthful notes (metallic, alcohol sharpness) cannot be hidden. No whisky that I have to have in the glass again.

So the first single malt ... yes the youth is still clearly noticeable but is not bad either. The 45% are already integrated very harmoniously. Oak and wort predominate, but really convincing for 3 years. Has a lot of potential if it will mature for a longer time. With a realistic view and without inflation and taking into account the price (i.e. at 80 points are really mature, high-quality whisky and it is still far from it), in my opinion ratings over 70 are not understandable, but ok everyone as he would like.

St. Kilian - a real whisky distillery in Germany. Potstills from Forsyths from Scotland, so no fruit stills, a lot of advance praise - and then the rocky road to the first real distillates. St Kilian thrilled the nerds, St Kilian scared the nerds when whisky was bought in by Great Northern to produce Bud Spencer whiskies. But seriously: Bud Spencer Whisky? No nerdy stuff! So we finally accept that no distillery lives from the nerds alone. This is the first regular bottling of a whisky from St. Kilian. It's three years old, the cask composition is transparent and if you want you can actually still buy it in early 2023. The bottle has been open for me for a few years - it's just young whisky. But does that make him bad? Time to finally talk about it... glen-efze.de

light, fruity and malty. the typical young Brennereicharakter comes through, however, the alcohol in the nose is very pronounced. Malt, fresh pears and yellow apples. Low-key barrel and quite one-dimensional. In the mouth fruity malt, slightly mineral and fresh spice. Short, refreshing finish

Yes is OK. It worked very well, the aromas are still a bit artificial, but overall it looks well balanced. The alcohol is very well integrated, no burning or annoying sharpness - 14.09.2019

Wow - for a 3 year old incredibly complex. Sweetness and fruit in the nose dominant, woody-spicy and nutty aroma in the taste more pronounced. Exciting counterpoint.

fruity-sweet: dominating tropical fruits (mango, pineapple, pear) with a little honey & caramel. Very light sweetish spice and a slightly creamy-oily nutty aroma; goes towards walnut & hazelnut. A very light floral note and vanilla are hidden in the background. The PX-Sherry note becomes more present after standing a bit, with air contact it develops a little.

distinct sweetness. Spicy and fruity taste. Nutty aroma comes through completely (roasted almonds, macadamia, hazelnuts). A very light sherry note. This chestnut wood somehow stays in your head, and trying to classify it ... very interesting.

long finish with a malty note. The spice is also retained for a long time, the sweetness tends to recede. Coffee-tart taste (but very pleasantly integrated) and an oak aroma stay on the tongue for a long time. Gets drier out the back.

I received a very generous sample of this malt and distributed it all over the world. Friends, family, other bloggers. Everyone who wanted to or not got something from it. Most of the time I didn't say anything about what's in the sample and the discussion after the tasting was always interesting. The surprise that it was german whisky was a success and the opinions were benevolent. The experienced whisky drinkers have already recognized that it is still almost a new make. I agree with that, too. But it is a nice experience and drinkable. Certainly a good start, but in all honesty: There is still room for improvement. I look forward to exploring them. Full review (german): https://keinehalbendrinks.de/2020/11/19/erstlingswerke/ P.S .: In my opinion, design is not just a matter of taste. Visually, I think the still bottle is nicely designed. But unfortunately it is not practical. In my opinion, it takes up far too much space on the shelf and is practically invisible if it is not right at the front.
