About Eifel German Peated Single Malt Whisky 2019
The Eifel German Peated Single Malt Whisky 2019 is a rare peated expression from Germany's Eifel Distillery in Koblenz, produced via first distillation in a copper column still and second in a pot still, then matured in ex-Bordeaux and ex-cream sherry casks. At 46% ABV (92 proof) and imported by Park Street Imports, this 750ml bottle offers a unique peaty profile that punches above its $61.50 price, blending smoky peat with sherry-driven sweetness and fruit notes, evoking Talisker-like depth but with Germanic innovation. What makes it special is its approachable peat blanket over citrus zest, vanilla, and malt richness, defying expectations for non-Scottish single maltsβdense flavors from column-pot hybrid distillation create a thick, syrupy body without harshness. Ideal for peated Scotch fans exploring beyond Islay or bourbon drinkers seeking smoky adventure; it compares favorably to entry-level peated malts like Talisker 10 at similar pricing, offering bolder sherry influence and novelty, though some find the palate polarizing versus the inviting nose.
Tasting Notes
π Nose
Peat smoke blankets vibrant citrus zest and Meyer lemon, with floral hops, apricot, and simple syrup undertones. Sherry cask brings raisins, plums, and malty sweetness, reminiscent of a peaty Speyside bomb. Subtle vanilla and natural malt fruitiness emerge, blending Scotch-like familiarity with unique Germanic freshness.
π Palate
Thick, syrupy mouthfeel delivers peat smoke interwoven with vanilla, honey, cinnamon spice, and hazelnut. Earthy truffle, oak, green pepper, and brine add bold complexity, while sherry notes of dark fruits and tart cherry provide sweetness without cloying. Dense and full-bodied despite column still thinness, with black pepper toffee and orchard fruits coating smoothly.
β¨ Finish
Medium to long, with lingering peat, caramel apples, vanilla, earth, and lemon refreshment. Coats the tongue richly, balancing sweet peat smoke and subtle astringency.
