Description

In 2017, we took our first steps into the world of smoked whisky. We relied on a special ingredient: Bamberg beech-smoked barley malt, which is not dried over peat fires but gently smoked over beech wood.

The difference between the smoky and smoked flavour is remarkable: beech wood provides a milder, more subtle aroma compared to the intense, earthy smoke we are used to from Scottish peat.

Only a single 100-litre cask was filled at the time. Now, after careful maturation for 7 years, we are presenting this exclusive single cask whisky in a limited edition - only 200 numbered bottles are available. With a drinking strength of 45% vol, the flavours unfold in perfect harmony and bring out the balance between delicate smoky notes and sweet malt flavours.

A whisky for connoisseurs who appreciate the extraordinary. Grab it before this rarity is sold out!

Sensory description

In the nose, this special whisky convinces with notes of vanilla, caramel, honey, chocolate, and pipe tobacco. On the palate, one can taste malt, honey, biscuit, vanilla, orange, oak and chocolate flavors, raisin, and a light brandy note.

Production

With special pure yeast, the sweet mash made from regional barley malt was fermented under oxygen exclusion and acid protection, and double distilled. This elaborate, double distillation in small copper stills and the careful separation of the "heart" preserves the flavors and leads to a natural mildness. The freshly distilled barley brandy matured for at least three years before being bottled. The maturation takes place in first-fill bourbon barrels and red wine barriques from German winemakers. Half a year before bottling, the barrel contents were blended and finished in Tokajer barrels, in which the Hungarian sweet wine "Tokajer" from the white grape matured before. Only water was used to dilute the whisky before bottling. The Bremen drinking water is of excellent quality. No flavorings or sugars were added, and it was not diluted or blended. Since flavor carriers such as esters, proteins, and fatty acids are also removed during filtration, it leads to a change in taste. To avoid this "distortion," we refrain from cold filtration. Our whisky is therefore unchillfiltered or non-chill filtered. The filtration is carried out without pressure using cellulose.
