Wine Cask
A fabulous whisky from Sweden's Smögen, distilled in March 2011 and matured in first fill Sauternes barriques. Eight years passed, and the single malt was bottled in April 2019 at cask strength, weighing in at 57.8% ABV, with a limited outturn of 1,628 bottles. A wonderful example of what a Sauternes cask can do right here.
Juicy and fruity, with ripe plum, nectarine and peach, buttery vanilla pastry and delicate florals, with a refreshing menthol note.
Wonderfully creamy, earthy vanilla pod and more of that fruit returning. Grassy, earthy, smokey richness develops.
A very long finish, sweet tropical fruit appearing alongside vanilla and more peat.
