Askeim (Smögen) 8 yo - Golden Promise

Special features: Smögen's Askeim series focuses on historic barley varieties and their characteristic flavors. This first bottling is based on the lightly peated Golden Promise, an ancient barley variety that is only occasionally used today. Maturation took place in small first-fill bourbon quarter casks, giving the whisky an intense flavor with a manageable cask quantity and individual storage.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Malty, fruity aromas with a hint of smoke and ginger
• Palate: Full-bodied and viscous, complemented by creamy fudge and spice notes
• Finish: Long-lasting with hints of toasted oak and spicy warmth

Distillery/Bottler: Smögen is an innovative Swedish micro-distillery that has made a name for itself with very small production batches and a special focus on traditional ingredients. The combination of its own barley production and experimental production processes is reflected in the distinctive aromas of the whiskies. The distillery is run by a small team that values quality and character over quantity.
