Maltbarn is a German bottler, brainchild of Martin Diekmann. 'The only criterion for our bottlings,' he says, 'is the quality: we are not interested in the latest hype, great marketing tricks or expensive wooden boxes.' Instead, Maltbarn only releases bottles that they themselves like to drink. Those bottles are therefore very well appreciated. Also because of their label, by the way. The Whiskybase-shop is the only point of sale in the Netherlands for Maltbarn.
This single malt whisky was distilled in an (unnamed) Islay distillery, according to bottler Maltbarn. The whisky then matured for 24 years in a sherry cask and was bottled at 51.8%. Incidentally, the label features an image of the Laphroaig Distillery.
The label already gives it away: we are dealing with a single malt whisky that strikes like lightning! It is a 22-year-old Port Charlotte, the heavily peated malt from Islay distillery Bruichladdich. It matured in a bourbon cask and is bottled at 55.2%.
The label is probably something for insiders, but the whisky inside is interesting for anyone who enjoys single malt whisky. Maltbarn bottled a Longmorn after it had matured in a sherry cask for 16 years, and bottled the Speysider at 53.4% cask strength
Bottler Maltbarn doesn't like hypes and doesn't work with marketing tricks; it's about quality, about whisky that they like to drink themselves. Taste the six cask-strength samples, including a 22-year-old Port Charlotte and a 29-year-old Glenlossie!
German bottler Maltbarn does not participate in hypes, marketing tricks or expensive wooden boxes. The only thing that counts for the bottlings is quality. We find that in this 21-year-old, bourbon-matured Glen Moray single malt whisky. Bottled at 53.0%.
Speyside distillery Aberlour is best known for its sherried single malt whisky. This bottling from German bottler Maltbarn of an Aberlour that matured in a sherry cask for 22 years is a good example of that. It is bottled at 52.7% cask strength.
This is already the 246th bottling of the German Maltbarn, and this edition will also be well-appreciated. It is a single grain whisky from Invergordon, one of the most famous grain distilleries. It is 16 years old, bourbon matured, and at 55.1%.
One of the few Islay distilleries that produces an unpeated single malt whisky under its own brand name. This Maltbarn Bruichladdich matured for 21 years in a bourbon cask, from which came 161 bottles at 50.5%.
The spirit for this Bruichladdich single malt whisky comes from one of the early years of the Mark Reynier era at the Islay distillery. It matured in a bourbon cask for over two decades before being bottled by Maltbarn. (55.3%)
This Maltbarn bottling is another unspecified single malt whisky from the island of Islay. The label hints at 'Southern A' for the distillery...The whisky matured for 14 years in a bourbon cask and was bottled at 50.2% cask strength. Curious?
The Craigellachie distillery is over 125 years old, but has long maintained a low profile with its single malt whisky. Nowadays they release bottlings themselves, but there are still independent bottlings such as this 16-year-old from Maltbarn. (53.1%)
