This particularly peaty single malt with a color like caramel, consists mainly of our Peated Single Malt van Loon from 2018 from red wine barrique barrels. It was rounded off with a dosage of our 10-year-old single malt port finish from 2015.
This makes it a blended malt.
- Dates, nuts and strong smoky notes can already be found in this whisky on the nose and are perfectly complemented by the peaty taste and the smoky, leathery aftertaste.
This peated whisky is made from smoky Scottish barley malt (ppm 50). The stilted malt purchased in Scotland was finely ground by a grain mill and mashed in our distillery.
The sweet mash was then fermented with special pure yeasts under exclusion of oxygen and acid protection and double distilled using the pot still method.
The freshly distilled barley spirit matured for seven years in fist-fill red wine barriques from German winegrowers.
The very soft drinking water from Bremen (2° dH) is used in the distillation process. Bremen's drinking water is of outstanding quality.
As flavor carriers such as esters, proteins and fatty acids are also removed during filtering, this leads to a change in taste. To avoid this “adulteration”, we do not use cold filtration. Our whisky is therefore unchill filtered or non-chill filtered. Filtering is carried out without pressure using cellulose.
