Tasting
Nose
The initial impression is characterized by a mild and rounded aroma. Notes of apricot, vanilla, and apple blend harmoniously, complemented by a hint of grassiness and walnut, rounding out the bouquet.
Palate
On the palate, the whisky opens with the freshness of young strawberries, followed by gentle red fruits and aged raisins. A slightly winey character intertwines with caramel and star anise notes, adding complexity.
Finish
The finish is lightly woody with intense ginger spiciness and a lingering raspberry brandy essence.
Verdicts
Marcel
The HeiligenBergFeld 2020/2023 brings a lot of drinking pleasure to the glass with its lively fruitiness and spicy ginger heat, even though its still-young maturation time denies it a bit more depth. For fans of German new-school whiskies, it’s a charming introduction with potential that leaves you wanting more.
Sascha
Structurally, the HeiligenBergFeld 2020/2023 presents itself clearly and fresh, but the balance between fruit notes and woody spice could become even more harmonious with longer cask maturation. Overall, a solid yet still developing example of modern German single casks.
