Whisky, besser gesagt Rare Whisky, also besonders seltener Whisky. Das ist unser Metier. Single Cask, also Einzelabfüllungen, in Fassstärke, also ohne Wasserzusatz und mindestens 20 Jahre im Fass gelagert. Das ist unser Credo.

Als unabhängiger Abfüller sind wir stets auf der Suche nach besonders hochwertigen Whiskys, die zu unserer Philosophie passen. Ermöglicht wird der Kauf solcher Fässer durch die Unterstützung von ausgewiesenen Experten und durch ein engmaschiges Netzwerk von Brokern und Beratern.

Erst im Sommer 2020 haben wir das erste Fass, einen Ardbeg aus dem Jahr 1996 gekauft. Mittlerweile sind über zwanzig weitere Whiskys sowie eine Reihe anderer Spirituosen (Rum, Cognac, Armagnac) hinzugekommen.

Die Bandbreite erstreckt sich von sehr alten und extrem seltenen Whiskys der Premiumdestillen bis hin zu nicht minder reizvollen Abfüllungen von Brennereien, die vielleicht nur den Experten bekannt sind.

We would like to give you an insight into the fascinating and complex processes of whisky maturation, particularly in relation to storage conditions in Scotland. Maturation is not only a question of time, but also of the place and the specific conditions under which the whisky is stored.

The storage location and the warehouse
There are a large number of warehouses in Scotland, which are located in different geographical locations and climatic conditions. These differences have a significant influence on the maturation process. A warehouse on the coast, exposed to the salty sea air, will develop different flavors and characteristics than one located inland. The temperature and humidity fluctuations in these warehouses are crucial. A cooler, more humid warehouse can slow down maturation, while a warmer, drier environment can accelerate and change it.

Height and position within the warehouse
The position of a barrel within the warehouse also plays a decisive role. Barrels that are stored higher up often experience greater temperature fluctuations as the heat rises. This can lead to a more intense interaction between the wood and the whisky, which influences the aromas. Casks closer to the ground tend to be cooler and more stable, which can lead to smoother maturation.

Microbiological processes
An often overlooked aspect of whisky maturation is the microbiological processes that take place in the wood of the cask and in the whisky itself. Over long maturation periods, especially for whiskies that spend 20 years or more in the cask, various microbes can colonize. These microbes, including bacteria and yeasts, can influence the chemical composition of the whisky. They contribute to the formation of esters and other compounds that are responsible for the complex flavors we desire and appreciate in old whiskies.
Another important factor is the interaction of the whisky with the wood of the cask. Over the years, the whisky penetrates the wood pores and extracts various compounds from the wood, which then pass into the whisky. These interactions are particularly pronounced in casks that are over 30 or 40 years old. Here, the wood can begin to release its own aromas and characteristics, resulting in a deep, multi-layered flavor profile.

Conclusion
The maturation of whisky is a complex process that goes far beyond mere time in a cask. The exact storage location, the altitude and location within the warehouse as well as the microbial processes play a decisive role in the development of the end product. A well-matured whisky is the result of a harmonious interplay of all these factors, and it is this complexity that makes the world of whisky so fascinating. GourmetPool Limited Spirits incorporates these and many other factors into the maturation of the individual casks, resulting in the complexity of our bottlings. Specializing in whiskies and spirits aged from 20 years to 53 years, it is our passion to recognize these nuances, appreciate the variances and use the processes to create the best whiskies and spirits and bring them to the glass.

Low fill casks in whisky production: insights into special cask management

In the world of spirits, especially whisky, casks play a decisive role in the development of the end product. A special phenomenon that deserves attention in this context is the so-called low fill cask. This term refers to casks that are not completely filled with whisky. The reasons for the creation of such casks and the resulting effects on the maturation of the whisky are both fascinating and complex.

Creation of low fill casks:
Low fill casks can be created for a variety of reasons. One of the most common is the natural evaporation process, also known as “Angels' Share”. During storage in wooden casks, some of the whisky evaporates through the pores of the wood. This process depends on the climate; in warmer regions or where the air is thinner with lower humidity, the evaporation rate can be significantly higher. In some very rare cases, a cask is not completely filled in order to achieve specific maturation characteristics or simply due to production decisions and at the end of a batch.

Special features of maturation in low fill casks:
Maturation in a cask that is not completely filled leads to a more intensive interaction between the whisky and the wood. As the contact with the wood surface is greater relative to the amount of liquid, this can lead to a faster absorption of wood aromas. This can be both positive and negative, depending on which flavor profiles are desired. Typically, whiskies from low fill casks can have richer tannins and a deeper color.
Another interesting aspect is the slower evaporation range of the alcohol and water. In a less filled cask, the space above the whisky is larger, which leads to a different dynamic of alcohol evaporation. This can slow down the maturation of the whisky and lead to a more subtle development of the aromas. The larger air space allows for slower oxidation, which in turn can promote the formation of more complex flavor nuances and is often observed.

Conclusion:
Low fill casks are a fascinating subject of study in the world of whisky. They offer a unique opportunity to study the effects of wood contact and evaporation dynamics on the maturation process. For distilleries, such casks can present a challenge as they require careful monitoring and possibly adjustment of storage conditions. For the whisky connoisseur, however, they offer an exciting opportunity to discover unique and complex flavors that may not be found in standard filled casks.
At GourmetPool Limited Spirits, we appreciate the depth and complexity that low fill casks can bring to a whisky. They are proof that in the world of distillation and maturation, unexpected variables can often lead to the most interesting results. This is what we are about to present with the release of our Macallan 30/YO | Low Fill Cask | Dark Sherry, with a fabulous 58.3% ABV, a deep dark brown-reddish color and only 61 bottles.

The magic of long maturation: whisky aged from 20 to 40 years

As an independent bottler of long-matured premium whiskies and spirits, we want to shed light on the fascinating changes that whiskies undergo when they mature in wooden casks over a period of at least 20 to 35 or even 40 years.

Whiskies that mature for decades develop exceptional complexity and depth. During the long storage in the cask, the whisky interacts intensively with the wood, resulting in a variety of flavor nuances. The tannins and lignins of the wood contribute to the development of aromas such as vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate and dried fruit. These aromas become more intense and complex over time.

Compared to whiskies with a shorter maturation period, which are often fresher and livelier, long-matured whiskies are characterized by a remarkable softness and harmony. Long maturation softens the sharpness and gives the whisky a silky texture. It also develops complex aromas of spices, leather and tobacco, which are rarely found in young whiskies.

A whisky that has been matured for 20 to 40 years offers an incomparable taste experience. The aromas are deep and complex, often with a subtle sweetness and a pleasant spiciness. Due to the long maturation, the whisky achieves a perfect balance of the different flavors, resulting in a harmonious and long-lasting finish.

An exclusive range of premium whisky casks is characterized by the careful selection of casks and the close monitoring of the maturation process. Each cask is individually assessed to ensure it meets the highest quality standards. This care and dedication is reflected in the exceptional quality and distinctive character of the whiskies. Through individual maturation times and specific adjustments in maturation, for each individual whisky. GourmetPool Limited Spirits is continuously expanding its portfolio with further premium whisky and premium spirits casks thanks to the special features and nuances of each cask.

Long-matured whiskies are true masterpieces of the art of distillation and offer a taste experience that is second to none. They are a testament to the patience and skill of the master distillers and a tribute to the tradition and craftsmanship of whisky production, the final maturation to the optimum flavor and the individual refinement to the glass.

Optimum cask management for whiskies matured for 20 years or more: The key to perfection

In the ever-changing world of single malt whiskies, the art of cask management has become a decisive factor in the quality and complexity of the end product. Especially when storing whiskies that have been matured for 20 years or more, transfer plays a central role. Whether in other warehouses or within a warehouse, the maturation conditions can be fine-tuned through targeted repositioning in order to further develop the aromas and complexity of the whisky and achieve the optimum quality in the glass.

Traditional methods are combined with modern techniques to bring out the best in each cask. The selection of the best casks, their care and restoration as well as the variation of maturation conditions are decisive factors. By rotating the casks between different storage locations with different microclimates, certain characteristics of the whisky can be emphasized or weakened. Techniques such as finishing in casks that previously contained other spirits or wines expand the aroma spectrum and versatility of single malts.

The aim of GourmetPool Limited Spirits is to preserve the quality and character of the whisky through professional cask management while at the same time discovering new nuances. Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in this. Responsible cask management means paying attention to sustainably produced wood and considering recycling and reuse options throughout the entire process.

Perfection in a glass - thanks to well thought-out and careful barrel management.

Cask management is an essential part of whisky production, whereby the selection of casks, their care and repair as well as cask maturation are crucial aspects. Re-charging or re-toasting, for example, is an interesting method of extending the life of a cask and at the same time opening up new flavor profiles. By burning the inside of a cask, the wood fibers are reactivated, releasing aromas that enrich the whisky and give it an additional roasted aroma.

Experimenting with cask maturation is still a fairly new and fascinating process. Using casks that previously held other spirits or wines offers a variety of flavors and nuances that shape the character of the whisky. Micro-cask management and the variation of maturation conditions, such as the rotation of casks between different warehouses and storage locations within a cask store, are innovative approaches to enhance the quality and uniqueness of each whisky. Temperature, humidity, sea level, air pressure and the associated gas exchange as well as the change in maturation time play a key role here.

These processes show how traditional craftsmanship and modern technology work together to constantly develop and refine the art of whisky production. The aim is to achieve the widest possible variety of aromas and flavors. At GourmetPool Limited Spirits, we use this knowledge and the diverse possibilities to find an addition to our existing range of flavors in every single barrel in our portfolio. With the constant expansion of our premium releases, we are continually adding to the diversity of our range.

In a world where single malt whisky is constantly gaining complexity and depth, the art of cask management has become an essential part of whisky making. A good cask is a crucial player in the creation of an exquisite whisky.

Four decades ago, used American oak casks, formerly used for Bourbon, were the backbone of storage. At that time, demand for single malt was limited and the industry focused on cost savings and reuse. Today, however, our understanding of cask management has changed radically. At GourmetPool Limited Spirits, we are constantly striving to do justice to the personality of each cask. The aim is to discover and exploit this personality in order to create the unique flavour profiles that characterise our rare whiskies.

By adding first-fill or fresh-fill casks from different types of wood and with different previous uses - whether Sherry, Port, Madeira, Malaga, Bordeaux or similar - to our portfolio, we are able to develop the specific characteristics of our whiskies over time and cask type. This careful selection and deep understanding of the interaction of wood is fundamental to creating a product that is not only outstanding in flavour, but also tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship.

At GourmetPool Limited Spirits, each cask is a deliberate choice, a combination of science and art, guided by a vision to deliver the highest quality. This reflects our ambition to inspire connoisseurs with our passion for quality and our respect for the complexity of whisky.

Cognac Vallein Tercinier 53yo 1967/2021 Grande Champagne by GourmetPool Limited Spirits

With great joy and pride, GourmetPool Limited Spirits presents a particularly rarity: the Grande Champagne Cognac bottling from the year 1967, carefully matured over a period of 53 years until the year 2021.

This rare and admirable bottling is the result of the tireless dedication and profound know-how of the Vallein Tercinier family, whose roots extend far into the history of the cognac-making process.

Their mastery is reflected in the high quality of their products, which the Tercinier family produces at their historic location, in the midst of the privileged terroirs of the Grande Champagne.

GourmetPool Limited Spirits has set itself the task of not only exciting connoisseurs and enthusiasts of the finest brandies with an exquisite selection of high-caliber whisky casks and first-class rum bottlings, but also. The cognac presented here is distinguished by its unparalleled quality, which can only arise from the distillation of the most exquisite fruits of wine production. The aroma and flavor profile of this noble drop convinces with a profound, fruity base, enriched with complex notes of grapes that promise a harmonious interplay of exquisite varieties even before distillation.

This outstanding bottling has also found recognition in the premium spirits world, as illustrated by the appreciation by specialist tasters. A particularly notable praise comes from Serge Valentin, a renowned expert in the scene, who awarded this exceptional cognac a score of 91/100 points on his platform Whiskyfun.com.

With this offer, GourmetPool Limited Spirits once again reaffirms its commitment to offering lovers of fine spirits products of unparalleled quality and remarkable history. We are convinced that this Cognac Vallein Tercinier from the year 1967, with its rich history and exquisite character, will be an adornment for any collection and will redefine the tasteful enjoyment of our clientele anew. https://gourmetpool.de/produkt/…

Cognac Vallein Tercinier 53yo 1967/2021 Grande Champagne von GourmetPool Limited Spirits

Mit großer Freude und Stolz präsentiert GourmetPool Limited Spirits eine ganz besondere Seltenheit: die Grande Champagne Cognac-Abfüllung aus dem Jahre 1967, sorgfältig ausgereift über einen Zeitraum von 53 Jahren bis ins Jahr 2021.

Diese seltene und bewundernswerte Abfüllung ist das Ergebnis der unermüdlichen Hingabe und des tiefgreifenden Know-hows der Familie Vallein Tercinier, deren Wurzeln sich weit in die Geschichte des Cognac-Herstellungsprozesses erstrecken. Seit fünf Generationen, beginnend im Jahre 1850, kultiviert diese Familie die Kunst der Cognac-Produktion, basierend auf einem Erbe, das bis ins 14. Jahrhundert zurückreicht. Ihre Meisterschaft manifestiert sich in der hohen Qualität ihrer Erzeugnisse, die die Familie Tercinier an ihrem historischen Standort, inmitten der privilegierten Terroirs der Grande Champagne, hervorbringt.

GourmetPool Limited Spirits hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, neben einer exquisiten Auswahl an hochkarätigen Whiskyfässern und erstklassigen Rum-Abfüllungen, auch Kenner und Liebhaber feinster Weinbrände zu begeistern. Der hier vorgestellte Cognac zeichnet sich durch seine unvergleichliche Qualität aus, die nur aus der Destillation erlesenster Früchte der Weinproduktion entstehen kann. Das Aroma- und Geschmacksprofil dieses edlen Tropfens überzeugt durch eine tiefgehende, fruchtige Basis, angereichert mit komplexen Noten von Weintrauben, die bereits vor der Destillation ein harmonisches Zusammenspiel erlesener Sorten versprechen.

Diese herausragende Abfüllung hat auch in der Premium-Spirituosenwelt Anerkennung gefunden, wie die Würdigung durch Fachverkoster illustriert. Ein besonders erwähnenswertes Lob stammt von Serge Valentin, einem renommierten Experten der Szene, der diesem außergewöhnlichen Cognac auf seiner Plattform Whiskyfun.com eine Bewertung von 91/100 Punkten verliehen hat.

Mit dieser Offerte bekräftigt GourmetPool Limited Spirits einmal mehr sein Engagement, Liebhabern edler Destillate und Erzeugnisse von unvergleichlicher Qualität und mit bemerkenswerter Geschichte anzubieten. Wir sind überzeugt, dass dieser Cognac Vallein Tercinier aus dem Jahr 1967, mit seiner reichen Geschichte und seinem exquisiten Charakter, eine Zierde für jede Sammlung darstellt und den geschmackvollen Genuss unserer Kundschaft aufs Neue definieren wird.
