Slyrs 3 YO Single Malt Bavarian Whisky
Slyrs 3 YO Single Malt Bavarian Whisky, 52.5 %
I have now tried batch 1 of Slyrs 3 YO Single Malt Bavarian Whisky from independent bottler That Boutique-y Whisky Company.
Slyrs Destillerie is a German distillery, located in Schliersee. Tobias has previously written a great article on his visit to the distillery.
This limited limited release has a total outturn of 691 bottles (50 cl).
You can buy the in the UK at around GBP 65.
Nose: Hmm, this is quite nice actually. Please forgive my weird analogies, but I'm thinking semi-sweet Riesling with added vanilla, a touch of peppery sawdust and a drop of menthol.
Taste: Medium of body and full of attitude. Spicy and rather sweet initially. The sweetness is again colored by a hint of menthol. Sugar and white wine, minus the vanilla now.
Finish: Medium to short finish. Mild notes of pepper, some ginger and nutmeg. Rather oaky - and a bit dry. Fizzy. Peppermint and white sugar in the end.
Comment: Candy in a candy shop. Stranger in a strange land.
Score 84/100
