Gravity I1 1999 Scotch Universe – 51,3%

The universe – an infinite space full of secrets waiting to be discovered. Michel Reick could hardly have found a more fitting synonym for the diverse world of Scottish whiskies for his brand. With Scotch Universe, he takes you on a journey of taste – as complex and fascinating as space. On the flight path lie distilleries from all regions of Scotland, which offer hand-picked single malts or single grains. Some of them are smoky and stormy like a collision of stars. Others are calm and balanced like the dark side of the moon. All named after celestial phenomena.

Color spectrums, dazzling light or dense darkness: discovering the Scotch Universe can feel like looking through a telescope into unexplored worlds. And just like these, the brand’s whiskies do not reveal all their secrets. The fact is: All come from carefully selected barrels bottled separately in Scotland, are neither chill-filtered nor colored and have a high, cask-strength alcohol content. In addition, the label with coordinates leaves plenty of room for speculation and a spirit of discovery.

With the Gravity I1 from Scotch Universe, the druid takes off into grain spheres. After 25 years in the first fill bourbon hogshead, the Highlander sends out signals characterized by lush vanilla and banana.
