On Thursday 23 November at 10:00, our next bottling, Smögen “6/6”, will be released through a so-called web release on systembolaget.se. Smögen “6/6” is a good and well 6-year-old whisky of 59.2 percent from two large 225 liter barrels of new Swedish oak (lat. Quercus Robur), roasted to the degree Medel + and filled on National Day on 6 June 2011. The malt is as usual heavily peat-smoked (50 + ppm phenol content) and from Bairds Maltings in Inverness, where they still use so-called Saladin boxes in the malting process. The character is powerful, with base notes of malt and oak barrels, but also heavy fruit and a peat smoke that is well integrated with the roasted and spicy notes of nutmeg and cloves from the oak. Systembolaget has 660 bottles and the price is SEK 1,223. The pressure on these bottles is said to be very high,
Good hunt!
