Description
This is a tune I wrote a few years ago, after experiencing a delightful whisky-tasting seminar in the hotel Polar-Stern in Kühlungsborn, Germany. This piece is a musical depiction of that event: first the strong Scottish elements (kilts, tartans etc ..) then secondly the melody in the bass, which is the proprietor – Albrecht Kurbjuhn – explaining things to us, and thirdly the very pronounced legato section, which is the wonderful whisky being poured, taken to one’s lips, moving from the mouth down the throat – all moments to be savoured! After that the Scottish-flavoured sense of well-being comes back with the first theme, and the whole process starts again for the next whisky! https://www.polar-stern.com/
This piece is on my album “Swirling Sands” (Acoustic Music Records) with additional musical help (check it out), but this video is a pure solo fingerstyle-guitar version, and I’m very grateful to Marcus Weber of “Finest Whiskies” for looking after us – even on his day off (a fine gentleman) – and of course the proprietor Uwe Wagmüller for the generous use of the premises. https://www.finestwhisky.de/
