]]> The distillery lays at the bottom of the Ben Nevis, the highest mountain of Scotland, located at the Western Highlands next to Fort William. It was built 1825 by John McDonald, a descendant of the Lord of the Isles. Between 1984 and 1990 the production was stopped, after Nikka took over the company the production continued one year later. The water for Ben Nevis comes from the Allt A Mhullin Burn.

]]> Sweden only moved onto the whisky map after Mackmyra was founded in the late 1990s. With Smögen Whisky, the young whisky nation has another landmark. The distillery is named after a Swedish picture-perfect fishing village in the Skagerrak. However, it owes its popularity among connoisseurs in and outside Sweden to its intensely smoky small batch single malts, which are now also available in Germany.

The whiskys are handcrafted down to the last drop. The hands belong to the founder, lawyer, whisky enthusiast and author Pär Caldenby, who was able to separate the tailings from the heart of a distillate at Smögen Whisky for the first time in August 2010. He built his craft distillery from scratch in the outbuildings of a former farm. These house, among other things, two small copper pot stills (one only holds 900 liters), bourbon and sherry casks as well as a “worm tub condenser” – a cooling system that has become rare, which makes the raw spirit heavier and fuller.

In general, the following applies to Smögens single malts: They are powerful, distinctive drops with a clear smoky note, maritime echoes and malty sweetness. For Heavily Peated Swedish Single Malts in the same peat weight class as Caol Ila or Ballechin, Caldenby imports peat malt from Scotland.

The Danes from Give have been running their distillery since 2009. Until 2014 they used Scottish malt, since 2015 only local ingredients.

Caskhound has managed to secure a cask from this distillery. Only the greats SMWS and Berry Bros & Rudd have managed this before. Thus, they are only the third UA that can claim to bring a bottling of this distillery to the market. But what makes the distillery so special that they have bought a cask from this still small and by many still unnoticed distillery? Well, the Danes not only know how to distil good whisky, they are also the first to smoke their malt over nettle smoke. The owner knows this method from his homeland of Funen, where cheese, for example, is smoked in this way. So what we have here is a malt that is not peated but burnt. If that's not madness?

The malt Caskhound chose was distilled in 2014 and spent 7 years in a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Cask.

The bottling comes in a 0.5 litre bottle, just like the OA bottlings from Fary Lochan. The cask yielded 430 bottles and we have 60.3%vol cask strength.

]]> The small family-run distillery was founded in 2009 by Jens-Erik Jørgensen as one of the smallest distilleries in the world.

His dream of producing Danish whisky quickly became reality. A special feature of Fary Lochan’s whisky is that part of the malt used for whisky production is smoked with fresh nettles, creating a very unique kind of “smoke”.
