However, old whisky reserves are decreasing while their price is steadily going in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">It\u2019s time to start thinking outside the box or, in this case, the whisky cask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph translation-block\" style=\"font-size:17px\">In den letzten Jahren haben viele nach guten Single Malt Whisky-Alternativen oder <em>Malternatives <\/em>gesucht.

As someone who has done a fair bit of research\u2014and tasting\u2014I can clearly see why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">If you\u2019re a true fan of whisky, you have the palate to appreciate good spirit in general.

On the contrary, this is your chance of getting your hands on something truly extraordinary without blowing your budget.<\/li><li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Cognac and Armagnac don\u2019t exist in their own French bubble.

However, I can see that the malternatives are here to stay, and for all the right reasons. Together with my partners from Wu Dram Clan, I\u2019ve already picked a few outstanding Cognac and Armagnac casks, and this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Have I sparked your interest?
