Description

Whisky like this is one reason I love this job, as I get to see the hard work and talent of the producer blossom into fully fledged liquid-genius. This is richly textured and emphatically flavourful either with, or without, a splash of water. This beguiling Smögen shows a restrained peatiness on the nose, that grows broader and rounder from the palate to the finish, culminating with a glorious smoked-spice crescendo.

About this spirit

Smögen

The industrious Pär Caldenby started distilling at Smögen in 2010, producing under 100 casks per year. Although the distillery may be small volume-wise, it produces whiskies of robust character, driven by long fermentations, worm tub condensers and use of heavily peated malt. Smögen has rightly become a Nordic cult favourite.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
