Holsteiner Geister – “Ole Nööt” walnut spirit – 40.2%

To refine our walnut speciality, we selected a very special barrel, which was first topped with the top Italian red wine Amarone and then used to finish a Craigellachie single malt.

An Imperial Stout from the Wacken Brewery was then stored in it until we appropriated this barrel and matured our walnut schnapps in it.

The still slightly present, nutty flavours of the red wine harmonise perfectly with the subtle vanilla and honey notes of the Speyside whisky. The coffee-like and chocolaty character of the dark strong beer also resonates in the interplay of flavours and underlines the mild nuttiness of the walnut.
