Goodbye Rowan’s Creek Bourbon

Monday, May 5th, 2008

A couple of years ago my good friend Per Klix gave me a Bourbon at Xmas…  and I do have to admit I wasn’t that thrilled…  I’m just a ‘bit’ more into Single Malt Whisky than Bourbon, but I was mistaken…  big time…  Per had chosen a speciel cask version hand-bottled back in 28.01.2008 at Rowan’s Creek and it had a GREAT taste!
Thanx Per - I’m just sorry that I finished it a couple of days ago…..

Laphroaigh Quarter Cask, please

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

If you by accident are very curious about what to bring me for my birhtday on the 28th July, I can recommend doing the ’safe’ thing… bring Single Malt Whisky…. ;-)
And Laphroaigs Quarter Cask bottle would be a good choice…

New website for Copenhagen Malt Whisky Tasting Society

Monday, May 7th, 2007

It has for a very long time been a thorn in my eye to look at the website for Copenhagen Malt Whisky Tasting Society (CMWTS, www.cmwts.dk) - the great Malt Whisky Club that I have been a member of for more than 8 years and it have had the same ugly version 1 website with animated gif’s and no news at all… yeah, its not a pretty sight..

Old CMWTS site

(its a pitty that you cant see the animated glass… ;-) )

But now CMWTS has finally got a new one… yes, I did have something to do with it…
We decided to go for a blog-style website and that is really an improvement in the design and the site-administration - it was rather difficult just to write an article in the old one… I certainly do think (and hope) that this blog-styled CMWTS.dk will give the club a more dynamic website… feel free to write in there

Whisky tasting in CMWTS

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

Friday was the day for the tasting in Copenhagen Malt Whisky Tasting Society and what a tasting! It was one of the great ones - A pure islands tasting and I LOVE whiskies from the islands!

Lagavulin in a double matured version, Laphroaig in Quarter cask version, standard Talisker and standard High Land Park - I really love those…  Bruichladdich was not bad at all, but Isle of Jura (even in a Legacy version) was BAD as always - I will never be an Isle of Jura man…
No discussion, the Lagavulin was the best one of the night, but the Laphroaig was very close - Thanx to the tasting master, GREAT choice!

Everybody was having a good time at Hoppes Cafe

And there was a lot of discussion about which of the whiskies that fitted the tasting notes in the test… I did in fact take a 3. place….  but no cigar… ;-)
