[MM-MALTS-L] Eddu - opinions?

Wed Jan 28 09:32:28 CET 2009

Agree with you on the 'German' whiskies, Bernard (and I use 'German' here to indicate language so to include Swiss and Austrian whiskies). I've tasted quite a lot of them over the years. Some of them have been pretty horrible, some were enjoyable, some definitely interesting (Weidenauer's oat and spelt whiskies come to mind), but so far I've not discovered a secret gem from those regions.

Cheers, Lex

Sorry for not beeing so "tolerant",
We did a little tasting for a German gourmet magazine the other day; about
20 "Whiskies" from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
I agree insofar that the disitillers know how to choose good raw materials
and that they know how to disitll.
But why do they all call it whisky or whiskey...most of the things I had
were just too young...cereal schnaps would be a better name
Some are fun to taste, or an interesting experiance.

But I had nothing so far where I could imagine to sit back, relax, read a
good book , smoke my pipe and drink a glass of it with pleasure...

Bernhard

Or Alsace, Corsica, Britanny, Lorraine, Champagne...
Yes, all parts of France but the fact that they all stress their regions
rather than their country says long about the state of our nation.
