Hmm, first thing that hits the back of the throat is a strong sensation of sugar (cane?), dont know if its intentional. An aquired taste. After a while it settled down to a subtler sweet taste which mixed nicely with the tabacco. Have a few more, see how I get on with them, so Im not sure if Ill buy them again.

Borkum Riff Ruby is a Cavendish style blend, made from fermented Burley and Kentucky tobacco. As is the trademark style, the cherry casing is noticeable, but doesn’t totally dominate the taste of the tobacco. There is a pleasant, toasty and sweet taste from the tobacco, which harmonises nicely with the casing. Speaking of which; the cherry taste is pleasantly fresh and they’ve also snuck a hint of vanilla in there, but cherry is very much the focal point of the blend.

We’re moving into Scandinavian territory now with “The Remarkable Dane,” Alsbo Ruby. As you might well know, Scandinavian aromatics are characterised by a slightly more reserved approach to casing than their American brethren. This means the taste is usually more balanced between tobacco and casing. This isn’t to say the tobacco is strong; Alsbo Ruby’s mixture of cured Black Cavendish, Golden Virginias and fine Burley is pronounced without being overwhelming and balances nicely against the unusual black cherry & wild cherry combo of the casing.

This is a whisky you definitely need to lay back and enjoy unhurried.Dark and complex, raisins and thick chocolate notes, the influence of the sherry cask is very predominant. Slight peppery notes on the finish, dry oak sweetness and creamy vanilla. For a 21 year old it deserves the £100+ price tag.

Full-bodied, syrupy consistency with lots of dried fruits sweetness, raisins, all-spice and slightly woody notes on the finish. Creamy, thick mouthfeel.
