Emperor´s Way Otto I - 59,8%

Product information "Emperor´s Way Otto I - 59,8%"

In reference to the historic Harz Imperial Route, the extremely limited whiskeys of the Hercynian brand Emperor’s Way are named after kings and emperors. In honor of the royal leaders, the Hammerschmiede designed its Peated Hercynian Single Malt with a strong smoky flavor and a fine fruity note. The bottlings are made from 100 percent local barley, which is dried to up to 35 ppm over peat from Lower Saxony.

With Otto I (the child) – First Duke of Brunswick, an extremely full-bodied, juicy character ascends to the throne. It owes its aromatic density to full maturation in fine First Fill Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry Casks. Peat smoke is complemented by raisins, fruit cake and mandarins, chocolate and malt as well as roasted nuts, gingerbread and caramel.

The new single malt Sovereign is named after one of the most important forefathers of the European aristocracy. Monarchs such as King Charles, Kaiser Wilhelm and the last Tsar of Russia can be traced back to Otto I in a direct line. In honor of his birth in 1204, the hand-numbered bottling is limited to 1,204 bottles.
