    About this Episode

    In this episode of the Spirits Blind Tasting podcast, I'm doing a blind tasting of the Braunstein Danica Single Malt Whisky Batch 2014-1 and Westland American Single Malt Whisky, La Maison Du Whisky 60th Anniversary Edition. Feel free to follow along with a dram of any of these or any other spirit you enjoy as I try to uncover the aromas and flavors of these 2 spirits. My tasting notes from this episode can also be found below:

    Spirit A - Braunstein Danica Single Malt Whisky Batch 2014-1 (42% ABV)

    Appearance

    • Clarity: Clear
    • Intensity: Medium
    • Color: Gold
    • Suggested texture: Medium oily

    Nose

    • Condition: Clean
    • Intensity: Medium > light
    • Aroma characteristics: Dried lemon peel, fresh red apples, wood polish, hints of burnt sugar, vanilla, dried flowers, and dried grapes, slight maltiness
    • Other notes: First a very light floral nose, however very hard to pickout any clear aromas except the wood polish
    • ABV: ~45%

    Palate

    • Sweetness: Dry
    • Texture: Smooth, watery 
    • Intensity: Medium
    • Flavor characteristics: Peppercorn, dark chocolate, oak, burnt toast, digestive biscuits 
    • Other notes: Very dark palate compared to the nose which had more fruity notes. Feels a bit immature overall, balance seems off between nose and palate.
    • Finish: Medium, simple > some complexity (mostly burnt toast)
    • ABV: ~45% 

    Conclusion

    • Quality level: Good
    • Blind guess: Malt whisky, world whisky



    Spirit B - Westland American Single Malt Whisky, La Maison Du Whisky 60th Anniversary Edition (54.4% ABV)

    Appearance

    • Clarity: Clear
    • Intensity: Light
    • Color: Amber
    • Suggested texture: Medium oily

    Nose

    • Condition: Clean
    • Intensity: Medium
    • Aroma characteristics: Fresh pears, dates, vanilla, hints of smoke/peat, lemon, stone fruits, sea salt
    • Other notes: Nose is fresh and dark at the same time. Very pleasant and complex.
    • ABV: ~50%

    Palate

    • Sweetness: Dry
    • Texture: Mouth filing, warming
    • Intensity: Pronounced
    • Flavor characteristics: Fresh pears, lemon, stone fruits, maltesers, cloves, hints of oak and char
    • Other notes: Quite malty on the palate, but very citrus fresh at the same time. Feels like a well balanced and complex spirit.
    • Finish: Long, very complexity (citrus, oak, maltesers) 
    • ABV: ~50%

    Conclusion

    • Quality level: Outstanding
    • Blind guess: Malt whiskey, potentially a blend from large malt whisky region
