Wasn’t there an advert suggesting that “Heineken - the beer to drink when you don’t want a beer…”
Oops! No controversy here

Label of this beer says:
”One day Minnie went mad, took her jar of stout, drank a bit and topped it up with milk!”
Never drank milk stout before but it doesn’t taste bad…

Unluckily I had to change drinks for tonight. It was my last bottle of white wine. Although the whiskey shown on the picture is a single malt, you have to mix it with Cola. At the time I bought it, I was jobless. So no superior quality.

I found a german article in which this whiskey has been tested. Like always I’m too lazy to translate by myself, so I let google translate do the job :
The Speymhor, a single malt scotch from Aldi. Off the range offered for € 15. What can you do wrong there, I thought to myself? The curiosity was too great. So packed a can and took a closer look at home. First off, the label is washed out and printed in low resolution. That seems, with all due respect, a bit very cheap. Apart from that, you don’t learn much about the whiskey it contains. Speymhor is an artificial name because there is no such distillery. The label “Matured in Oak Barrels” could have been saved, because whiskey by definition has to mature in oak barrels.
As an aside, the word “barrel” actually comes from the American word. When it comes to Scotch, one often speaks of a “cask”, for example a single cask. Okay, nagged enough. Let’s pour it. This whiskey has a moderate 40% alcohol.
Tasting of the Speymhor
The whiskey leaves a few streaks in the glass. I don’t have to talk about the color, it’s naturally colored.
Instead, the glass has very fruity and intense aromas. My first association also reminds me directly of an apple brandy. Namely to an apple brandy, in which a few pears were also added to round off the mash. If the malt weren’t there, it would remind me of a calvados. That is nonsense, of course, because Speymhor is a single malt whiskey, made from barley. In addition, I smell the (obligatory) storage in oak barrels, which reminds me more of damp chipboard than noble whiskey barrels. I also hear a little malt and a light citrus freshness. Then it’s over, that’s all there is to it. Oh, it’s not smoky. Do not worry!
That may seem like little at first, but if you take a closer look at the whiskey, the Speymhor doesn’t look so bad. Apart from this youthful woodiness and a light alcoholic breeze, I don’t see any wrong notes in this Aldi whiskey. In this price range, that’s more than you might expect.
The whiskey is initially quite gentle in the mouth. The alcoholic burning sensation only increases with increasing length of stay. The taste itself is reminiscent of fruit brandy, just like in the nose. In the foreground I can taste pear or apple, in the background some malt. Classic whiskey flavors, and even strong, but very sparingly sown in the quantity. He can’t deny a little alcohol either. At the back, the whiskey then becomes dry, both in taste and in the feel it leaves behind. These are the tannins from the wood that are now coming through.
The finish is very short and characterized by bitterness, as we often know from cheap whiskeys.
Conclusion
The Speymhor is not complex, neither in taste nor in smell. Whiskey connoisseurs who sip their 1970 Glenlivet cannot do anything with the Speymhor.
So far, so good, but that was clear from the start. The twist: The Speymhor is more than okay for whiskey beginners, occasional drinkers and bargain hunters, just like the similar-sounding Speyburn Bradan Orach. Leave the cola in the cupboard and drink the Speymhor pure. This whiskey is young and one-dimensional, but solid and cheap. The Speymhor does not want to impress with complexity or sophistication, but solely with a successful price-performance ratio. And he does, at least in my eyes. Because honestly, what can you expect from an Aldi whiskey for € 15 more?
If I remember correctly I didn’t even pay 15 €. Must have been something about half the price (at Aldi).

Looks good! Am I invited? A little long distance so you have to keep it warm for a while!
I wouldn’t be a good host if I were to serve reheated coffee…
Luckily for you it’s only 5 minutes of work to make a fresh one

When my grandfather was in trouble with the local communist dictatorship, secret police members would come to his house uninvited for coffee. They would do all sorts of nasty things to him and his family.
So, my grandmother would make them coffee in a moka with the used ground. Several times. Absolutely disgusting, flavourless coffee, but the bastards deserved it.
