No 8: Smögen “Wee Swede”
Alcohol by volume: 62,5 %
Cask: Single ex Bourbon
No 8: Smögen ”Wee Swede”, a 4 yo bottling at 62,5 % that was drawn from a single ex Bourbon barrel, which was subsequently finished off in small bloodtub-sized (30 L) casks of virgin Swedish oak, heavily toasted and then charred, to give off plenty of oak notes and sweetness. Mature far beyond its age, the Wee Swede offered vanilla and toasted oak notes galore, in addition to the fruity malty notes of the distillate, complemented on the finish by slightly subdued peat notes. Released in the autumn of 2016.
