and does it have apple flavour as the name suggests ?

Oh yeah, a lot of apple flavor. It's almost too delicious. It's almost like what I affectionately call a "girly drink". A "girly drink" is one that goes down way too easy. ;) You wouldn't want this around neophytes. They wouldn't know when to stop drinking it and could end up in a world of trouble.

Just returned from my recent Edinburgh trip and despite of the weather, especially on Friday, it was another great weekend getaway.

Doesn't look like July, does it ? :cautious::D

But back on topic, or almost as its about Whisky and not beer this time.
As we needed a Plan B for some hours of heavy rain we finally booked the Gold Tour at the Scotch Whisky Experience.

First part of the tour is a animated description of the whisky production process, the second part is done by a real guide and included a tasting of one Whisky of a region of your choice (Speyside, Lowlands, Highlands or Islay) As my wife and I had booked the Gold Tour we both got 4 more Whiskys to try.
So thats how it looked like.

Just ignore this lady on this picture, it's just my wife and lets focus on this Whisky glasses ;)
From left to right: Auchentoshan American Oak, Loch Lomond Original, Speyburn Bradan Orach and, by far my favourite, the Ardberg 10 with its smoky flavor. The glass of water in the middle is for decoration purpose.:ninja:
Here are some descriptions, to be honest I did not taste all of these flavors that are mentioned. But this might be lack of experience or, more likely, lack of fantasy :D

Was quite impressed of their private collection of Whiskys with more than 3000 bottles. All unopened but some half empty thanks to the "Angels Share".

So in case one of you guys should travel to Edinburgh one day I can strongly recommend to visit the Scotch Whisky Experience :tup:

Good question :D
The Whisky doesn't taste like smoked sausage, that's why :speechless:
It's more like the smoke of a campfire but definitely not everybodys cup of tea. I think I give Rauchbier a second try soon as my favourite beverages and liquor store has Schlenkerla in store. :cool:

I'll bring you a Spezial Rauchbier next time. I prefer it over Schlenkerla.

Happy Weekend @all

Wow, a single malt scotch aged in rum casks... That's interesting.

3 more weeks to go before I get back to alcohol. Time just goes so slow. I'm already salivating over the imagined first sip of cold beer on 18th August.

Planned to visit some of my missus's relatives which I promptly forgot and ended up in a pub with some colleagues. After the ensuing scene that evening, had to take a "voluntary" break to even things up. :cry:


Oh... one of those situations. :cool:

Hope 18 August hurries up.

It might not be a good idea to read this thread until then. It'll make it that much harder. :D

Sundays is my personal time and there is a grocery shop near the pub I hang out in, so I make up a flimsy excuse before heading out..

"Honey, I heading out. Need me to buy any supplies for the week?"
"Yeah, Milk"
"and?"
"Just that"
"mmm, should not take long. See you in a couple of hours then"


Not anymore :(
