No 16: Smögen ”100 proof”
Alcohol by volume: 57,1 %
Cask: Ex Sherry quarter casks
No 16: Smögen ”100 proof”, alluding to the old Sikes system of measuring alcoholic strength and thus 57,1 % abv. This is the first recurring batched bottling of Smögen, one that will be repeated about half a dozen times, as long as there are sufficient numbers of ex Sherry quarter casks available. Fully matured in said type of casks, the 100 proof is at 6 yo a slightly older presentation of the previous Sherry Quarters bottling and is very clearly marked by the Sherry casks, with nutty and fruity notes in abundance, complementing the peated malty core character. First released in the summer of 2020, the batches are typically at least 2000 bottles in volume.
