DIS One Klassik 2017/2024 - 7 y.o. - Single Malt Whisky - Bordeaux Single Cask #15

Volume: 0.5 litres | Alcohol content: 43.6% | Chill filtration: Yes | Colouring: No

Special Features:

DIS ONE Klassik spent its full seven years of maturation in the hand-selected first-fill Bordeaux wine cask 15. The single malt was distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2024 at 43.6%. This is therefore a full maturation rather than a brief finish.

Ripe orange and grape meet a hint of dark chocolate, creamy fruit sweetness, vanilla and spicy oak. This official bottling contains 0.5 litres, has an alcohol content of 43.6%, is chill-filtered and contains no added colouring. In 2024, DIS ONE Klassik won gold at the Women’s International Trophy.

DIS ONE filled its first whisky casks in 2017, so this single malt, also distilled in 2017, belongs to the Kirchberg distillery’s early whisky production.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals intense fruit notes of ripe orange and grape, with a delicately bitter hint of dark chocolate.
• Palate: The whisky feels creamy and silky on the palate. Sweet fruit and vanilla sit alongside pronounced oak spice.
• Finish: The finish is long and intense, with pronounced spicy depth.

Distillery/Bottler:

The DIS ONE Distillery in Kirchberg im Illertal produces Klassik; the whisky is an official bottling. The journey towards establishing the distillery began in 2011 with the purchase of a farmstead more than a hundred years old, which was extensively renovated and technically modernised. The distillery commissioned its equipment in 2016 and officially opened in autumn 2017.

For its whisky, DIS ONE uses wort made from malted barley and distils in two stages. The malted barley is milled and mixed with hot water in the mash tun; temperature and duration are carefully controlled so that the malt enzymes convert starch into fermentable sugar. Fermentation is followed by a first distillation to produce low wines and then a second, spirit distillation. In 2017, the first new-make whisky entered selected oak casks from Bordeaux at approximately 62% alcohol. Master distiller Wolfgang Remlinger is responsible for Klassik and its seven-year maturation in a single Bordeaux cask.
