4cl Sample of Ganymed V 2013

The universe – an infinite expanse full of secrets waiting to be discovered. Michel Reick could hardly have found a more fitting synonym for the diverse world of Scotch whiskies for his brand. With Scotch Universe, he takes you on a flavor journey – as complex and fascinating as the cosmos. Along the way are distilleries from all regions of Scotland, each offering hand-selected single malts or single grains. Some are smoky and stormy like a star collision. Others serene and balanced like the dark side of the moon. All are named after celestial phenomena.

Scotch Universe Spectrums of color, dazzling light, or dense darkness: Discovering the Scotch Universe can feel like peering through a telescope into uncharted worlds. And just like these worlds, the whiskies of this brand don’t reveal all their secrets. The fact is: All come from carefully selected casks, filled separately in Scotland, are neither chill-filtered nor colored, and have a high, cask-strength alcohol content. Furthermore, the label with its coordinates leaves plenty of room for speculation and a spirit of discovery.

Ganymed V brings together dark essences in the glass: Matured in a first-fill Bordeaux Supérieur barrique, this island whisky combines the dark fruit sweetness of grapes and plums with a hint of spices like rosemary.
