#Whiskyoftheweek - Daftmill 2011 12y (Winter Release)

I like its purist, refined, almost delicate style. And it also works very well with ex-bourbon maturation. But the price is still ambitious.

#Whiskyoftheweek - Woodford Reserve Double Oaked.

A Kentucky Straight Bourbon with a second Cask-Maturation. And so you will find more oak flavors, vanilla, caramell, but a nice cherry note you will find too in this whiskey. Nice sipper!

Sollen US-Filme und -Serien nur noch über die USA handeln? Na, dann - viel Spaß. Frag mich, wer die neue Riefenstahl dort wird.
