Tasting

Nose

The nose is a real fruit bomb. We smell blackberries, grapes and a lot of dried fruit and dates. The nose develops into a combination of walnut and toasted marshmallow. We think of freshly toasted brown bread.

Palate

The malt starts off with great viscosity and oiliness. There are sweet notes of molasses and oatmeal. Then the palate changes to cinnamon, chocolate and an earthy nuttiness with walnut, hazelnut and roasted almonds. Despite the use of unpeated malt, there is a hint of smoke.

Finish

The finish is medium long and sparkling. There is a slight saltiness and a good amount of dark fruit. Probably due to its young age, the oak note is barely perceptible.

Verdicts

Marcel

The Westfalian TW121 delivers a fruity explosion full of charm in the glass, leaving you wanting more. Despite its young age, this malt reveals an impressive depth and character, even though the price feels a bit steep due to the limited edition. A genuine experience for whisky enthusiasts who appreciate regional highlights.

Sascha

This 6-years single malt impresses with its balanced structure and complex aroma profile, ranging from fruity notes to subtle hints of smoke and nuts. The balance between viscosity and flavor depth is remarkable, although the short maturation shows a slightly uneven finish. For lovers of carefully aged, regional whiskies, this cask is well worth exploring.
