Wunderkammer
About 500 years ago, the 'chambers of wonders' (wunderkammer) were spaces within a residence designed to collect objects of all kinds; these not only had an educational function, but were stunning and of different shapes, materials and origins. Naturalia. Artificialia. Scientific. Exhotica.
In the past, in every place in the world, man instinctively tried to possess objects to please himself and make his memory eternal.
This is our Wunderkammer, a place to preserve and enjoy a series of extraordinary objects. Elements that can be exemplary.
Element I
HD 9 YEARS OLD – MORISCO SPIRITS – 54,5%
A HD 9 years from Jamaica, mark <>H (esters in g/hlaa 900-1000), is the first object to be preserved in our WUNDERKAMMER.
Element I it is a multifaceted, rare and precious jewel, something that a lover of high-sterile rums cannot miss. Matured for 9 years (4 of which were tropical) in an ex-bourbon barrel, it was bottled at 54.5%. Not cold filtered and without the addition of colorants, only 33 bottles available. The distillery, which we cannot declare, begins with H and ends with -DEN.
Element II
GLENBURGIE 9 YEARS OLD – MORISCO SPIRITS – 52,6%
A Glenburgie 2015 is the second item to keep in our WUNDERKAMMER. Element II It is a magnetic, seductive and emblematic treasure. Aged 9 years in a first fill Oloroso Sherry (cask no. #22063008), this whisky was bottled at 52.6%. Unchill filtered and uncoloured, it is available in 172 bottles.
NB This barrel was so lively that as soon as we emptied it we immediately refilled it with another whisky… But we will talk about that next year.
Element III
CAOL ILA 13 YEARS OLD – MORISCO SPIRITS – 57.3%
A Caol Ila 2011 is the third item to keep in our WUNDERKAMMER. Element III It is a sublime, elegant and exclusive gem. Matured for 13 years in a first fill Oloroso Sherry (cask no. #58211), this whisky was bottled at the full strength of 57.3%. Unchill filtered and uncoloured, it is available in 307 bottles.
NB As soon as it was emptied we put another Islay whisky in this barrel to mature, but we will talk about that again in a couple of years.
Element IV
NORTH BRITISH 33 YEARS OLD – MORISCO SPIRITS – 43.2%
A North British 1991 is the fourth object to be preserved in our WUNDERKAMMER. Element IV It is a nostalgic, unusual and mysterious object, the child of a bygone era. Aged 33 years in a Refill bourbon barrel Sherry (cask no. #204407), this whisky was bottled at the full strength of 43.2%. Unchill filtered and without added colouring, it is available in just 160 bottles.
