Svensk Ek, or 'Swedish Oak', is matured in barrels made from oak trees planted on the island of Visingsö centuries ago, oak originally intended for shipbuilding.
Sweet and spicy, toasted oak, lemon cake and apple pie.
Darker, earthier spices, cashew nut, toffee. Raspberry and black pepper. Milk chocolate.
Vanilla with hints of mint and chilli.
Absolutely gorgeous. I loved it so much that I have just bought myself a whole cask (of similar) from the distillery! (58 bottles/'elegant' recipe/swedish oak cask#2015/48.1%) This is the future of integrity whisky, non-chill filtered, no colouring, swedish oak, deeply sweet and spicy. Nose, palate and finish are all completely different animals which make this a really interesting dram.
Dangerously drinkable, slightly smoky but with a sweet finish.
Gorgeous flavours; raspberry, white chocolate, spices and mint
More complex than most ‘smokey malts.
Very nice round taste. This different character goes down easy
