You have to experience the unique "Octomore 14.3" Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. It comes from the famous Bruichladdich distillery on the Scottish island of Islay. The distillers use the special climatic conditions of the North Atlantic to distill this whisky. The barley for the "Octomore 14.3" comes from the Village and Lorgba fields of the Octomore farm, where the exquisite Concerto barley used for this whisky also grows. It gives it an unmistakable complexity and depth. After five years of maturing in bourbon and oak barrels, the aroma has fully developed. The special focus on the strong peat content gives it a strong, yet balanced smoky note. Right from the first sniff, the whisky opens its aroma with the intense peat smoke, which is a tribute to the rough and wild nature of Islay. The distinctive scent is accompanied by tempting aromas of vanilla and brown sugar. Notes of green fruit bring a lively freshness to the nose, while subtle salt is reminiscent of the North Atlantic coast. Fine smoky notes await the connoisseur on the palate. The sweet nuances of vanilla and brown sugar continue on the palate and combine with fruit notes that give the whisky a pleasant freshness. The finish is long and intense, accompanied by a hint of spices.The Bruichladdich distillery on the Scottish island of Islay is a place whose essence is expressed in every drop of whisky. By emphasizing the connection between soil, climate and environment, unique whiskies are created that find their finest expression in the Octomore series. The distillery sources locally grown barley from farmers in Scotland and relies on local ingredients to reflect the character of Islay. The influences of the sea, the peaty soils and the maturation are evident in the wide range of Bruichladdich bottlings. Traditional and modern production methods merge here to create authentic culinary experiences.

The finest French winemaking art: The Cazes family name is one of the greats in the world of wine. Originally from Bordeaux, the family moved to the Rhône Valley in 2006, where they have been producing very high-quality and fine red wines ever since. But the Cazes' exquisite Rhône range also includes a Côtes du Rhône suitable for everyday use. Try it! The Cazes Côtes du Rhône Réserve is made in the traditional way in concrete and stainless steel containers. Fermentation begins at 18 - 20°C with a gradual increase in temperature to 28°C. Afterwards, part of the wine (20 percent) matures in wooden barrels (foudres) and the larger part in concrete barrels (80 percent). The result is delicious: The Côtes du Rhône Réserve from the Cazes family has a deep, ruby ​​red color and has pronounced aromas of black and red currants, raspberries and the herbs of the garrigue on the nose. A fine liquorice note is added on the palate. The fruit is concentrated and clear here too. The tannins are soft and ripe, the finish long and elegant. In short: a wonderful red wine to enjoy everyday life to the fullest!

However, anyone who tries this wonderfully refreshing white wine will quickly be surprised and delighted. The stimulating, mouth-watering nature of this Pinot Blanc is simply mouth-watering!

The high-quality harvest is carefully vinified in the cellar before maturing in large wooden barrels. In the glass, the Dr. Loosen Pinot Blanc is light yellow with green reflections.

Here the wine is pleasantly gentle with a delicate acid structure and good substance. The mouthfeel is creamy and fresh at the same time. A harmonious play of sweetness and acidity and a solid length ultimately lead to the only conclusion: Dr. Loosen can also make Pinot Blanc. And how!
