RothausBlackForestSingleMaltWhisky(700mL)

<p>Beer, check. Whisky, check. Good? Check. </p><p>Let’s begin at the beginning. <em>Rothaus is not a distillery, it’s a brewery. </em>A very famous one for that matter. It was founded back in 1791 on the site of a Benedictine monastery and lies right <em>in the middle of the Black Forest region</em> in Germany, named for the beautiful mountain landscape with its dense population of pine trees. The brewery is <em>well famous for making awesome beer</em>, but how does their Whisky-making fare, you might wonder?</p><p>Just fine, judging by the <em>Black Forest Rothaus Single Malt</em>. Trust us or trust the awards – since they’ve been winning them left and right. Point is, they know how to make beer and <em>they know how to make Whisky</em>. But we digress… So, since Rothaus cannot distill the Spirit, the mash is transferred to Karlsruhe, to the Kammer-Kirsch Distillery. The Whisky is <em>distilled twice in small copper pot stills</em>, then brought back to Rothaus, where it’s <em>aged for 3 years</em> in ex-bourbon oak casks and bottled at 43% ABV.</p><p>The end result is <em>a very delicate, smooth dram.</em> On the one hand, it’s <em>extremely approachable</em>, on the other hand, its <em>depth and complexity</em> make it a treat even for all you experienced aficionados. Despite the age, this dram definitely came of age. <em>Critics love it and so do the fans</em>. This right here is a limited edition, extremely desirable bottle that sells faster than bratwurst at Oktoberfest, so you better get a move on, if you want one for yourself.</p>
