Barrel / Barrel
The heritage of barrels from the Spanish sun tells stories of flavor, craftsmanship and passion. The cask has a medium+ burn that creates perfect balance in this Single Cask. They are then filled with the seductive Olorosso sherry. For almost 2 years, they were quietly tucked away while they were transformed and infused with the distinctive flavor of sherry. When the time was right, they were brought back to our distillery where we filled them with our raw spirits and they were transformed once again. As the years passed, the golden liquid matured and gathered an intensity and richness that can only come from patient waiting and careful care. It wasn’t just a random barrel that was chosen for this Single Cask, but rather a tribute to our proud traditions and passionate commitment to our craft. And now you can taste the deep and rich flavor of our Single Malt Single Cask, revealed by the specially selected cask.

Flavor notes
The whisky oozes well-balanced harmony, with the flavors of Olorosso sherry leading the way, followed by an intense and sensual dance of coffee, chocolate and apricot. Every drop delivers a deep, intense and rich flavor experience that sends the senses on an enchanting journey. Ærø Whisky’s Single Cask is not just a dram, but a magical journey into the beautiful and complex flavors of a true masterpiece.

Alcohol
This Single Cask Whisky had a cask strength of 65.2% at bottling. A high but necessary alcohol percentage to preserve the subtle flavors and characteristics from barrel aging. When bottled, the alcohol volume drops to 60%, but still with a full spectrum of aromas and flavors. Before you take a sip, take a moment to admire the color – a deep amber hue that suggests patience and maturity. This whisky is not for the faint-hearted, but take a whiff and taste the ‘raw’ version before adding water. It’s a sublime experience to take the first drops and let the flavor palette explore the rich notes of coffee, chocolate and apricot. But if you feel your dram needs a little more ‘opening’, add 3-5 drops of water and follow your taste buds to new horizons.
