  1. Today´s Whisky Update:

    Glenfarclas 12Y - Single Malt Whisky:

    The Glenfarclas 12Y is a delicious single malt from Speyside's Glenfarclas distillery, aged for 12 years before making its way into the bottles.

    Dig in to rich Sherried malt and earthy allspice notes.

    The taste is Medium-bodied, with notes of date and walnut cake, Oloroso sherry and hints of earthy forest floor.

    A beautiful note of malt, with toffee apple and a touch of smoke :-)

  2. Today´s Rum Update:

    Plantation O.F.T.D Overproof Rum (69% ABV)

    The Plantation Overproof is a high-strength blend of rums from Barbados, Guyana and Jamaica.

    O.F.T.D stands for Old Fashioned Traditional Dark

    It is rich and warming with notes of spice, coffee, orange and clove.

    This rum is good for mixed Drinks and also good to drink with an ice cube :-)

    Is Maker's 46 a premium version of Maker's Mark or is it fundamentally different?

    Hi pdogg,

    Maker’s 46 goes through its normal production then they place French oak staves in the barrel and allow it to age for several more months. To do their work the staves must be seared first.

    They discribe it as “a crescendo of wood” and the taste characterised very aptly as “copper tone”. It is created to be sipped neat over ice :-)

    In my opinion It tastes better than the normal makers mark and the price difference in Thailand is not very much.

  4. Today´s Whisky Update:

    Dalwhinnie 15 Years (Highlands):

    Dalwhinnie 15yo is a good introduction to the delights of single malt whisky – elegant, smooth and medium-bodied, with a light, fruity palate and a whiff of heather on the finish.

    The nose on this malt is clean and fresh, with heather honey, pears, a touch of Toffee and a soft floral note.

    The taste is bright and fruity, but also rich, with notes of steamed syrup and sponge cake, with a Little cinnamon and nutmeg.

    The finish has just enough spice to match the fruit. A lovely Balance :-)

  5. Todays Whisky Update:

    Hibiki - Japanese Harmony:

    Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a blend of Japanese malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita.

    Presented in the brand's trademark 24-faceted bottle representing the Japanese seasons, this is light, approachable and moreish with enticing notes of orange peel and white chocolate. 

    The taste is very fruity  with oranges and apricots. Also a Little peppery spice, but the soft, succulent fruit takes hold.

    Nice balance, and nicely crafted.

  6. Todays Whiskey Update:

    Maker´s 46 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

    Maker's 46 is named for the number of different wood 'recipes' they tried before getting it right.

    Bottled at 47% it is matured in part in barrels containing a 'ladder' of toasted new French oak barrel staves to give more spice, sweetness and vanilla.

    The taste is creamy and very soft. Then it opens up, in fact it explodes with spiciness which concentrates on the tip of the tongue. It’s on nutmeg, mulled wine spices, allspice, cinnamon. Also a hint of hot apple juice.

    Excellent work Herbert, I hope the locals appreciate what you are doing.

     

    On another note, I had a nice singe malt given to me last week, which although not the most expensive, is one of the best I have tasted for some time. "Dura 12" was the name, not sure if you have tried it? Anyway I hope to share a nip of it or similiar this year at some point, provided we are allowed back in the country by then!!!

    Hi, thanks for you comment :-)

    I think you talk about the Jura 12. Yes I tried this malt before :-) It is aged in bourbon barrels but gets the finish in oloroso sherry barrels so you get a gentle smokey taste and also some fruity flavours with a little spice. It's a nice whisky but sadly not available here in Thailand. But I would like to drink with you some drams at the bar :-) Soon I will post my new whisky and rum additions and they will be available at the Bar.

    Let's hope they will open the airport for international travellers ASAP.

    Well done Herberth. Good to see that the foreigners take car of the desperate people in Pattaya when the rich Thais or "the not allowed to name" does not, but ...
    I find these ridiculous face masks unnessessary and even harmful as it it a paradise for germs. Same goes wirth the gloves. People wearing gloves tend not to wash their hands often enough because the have false feeling of protection. Frequent hand washing is the A and O.
    The face shields on the other hand I find dangerous. People who wear such a thing direct their exhaled breath unfiltered right to the foodstuff.

    You do a fantastic service to the public. Don't see my remark as critic but of something to be considered.

    Thanks for your comment. I think absolutely the same about the mask and faceshield. But this is Thailand...... It's required in these times (also in Europe I think.... Crazy. Yeah the girls did a great job. They put much effort into it :-) The girls hope that the bars can open soon and that they can start to make some money. The best solution (business wise) is when the Thai government let the bars closed until international travellers can come back (no quarantine). Because it costs the businesses more when you have no guests and the bar is open than a closed bar. But I think the Thai government will open all the businesses soon. We will see what will happen.

    Well done Herberth!     :biggrin:

    I see the Swing shirts have PrEP on the back.  Do they distribute PrEP pills?

    The guys from swing thailand where here today (and we handed out free meals again) and i asked them about the PrEP. They told me they give it for free to Thai nationals in high risk groups (like Gay´s,shemale, prostitutes etc.)

    I asked them if they give it also for free to Farangs in high risk groups. They said no, but they can direct you to a clinic and it should not be expensive (they said cheap).
