EMILL Stockwerk Single Malt Whisky - Mini

Volume: 0.05 litres | Alcohol content: 46% | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Maturation across four floors of the historic Scheibel Mühle gives EMILL Stockwerk its name. The casks rest in different temperature and climate zones, influenced by winter cold, summer warmth and moisture from the Acher mountain stream. The single malt is distilled and matured in Kappelrodeck in the Black Forest.

This miniature contains 0.05 litres of whisky at 46% alcohol and comes in black gift packaging with a cogwheel motif. The whisky is made from malted barley and bottled without added colouring.

Chocolate with 65% cocoa complements its honey-led character and dark roasted notes. A serving temperature of around 18 °C is well suited to exploring its aromas.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Blossom honey and caramel mingle with delicate woody notes on the nose. A subtle roasted note recalls deeply toasted wood and coffee.
• Palate: Honeyed sweetness, malt and dark roasted notes come together in a smooth impression on the palate.
• Finish: The whisky has a long, spicy finish accompanied by a subtle note of nutmeg.

Distillery/Bottler:

The Scheibel Mühle in Kappelrodeck in the Acher valley has belonged to the Scheibel family since 1890. The former mill was converted into a whisky distillery while preserving its historic equipment; whisky has been made here since 2014. Behind it is Emil Scheibel Schwarzwald-Brennerei GmbH, whose family history in fruit spirit distilling dates back to 1921.

For EMILL, Scheibel developed a pot still installation used exclusively for whisky, with three hand-hammered copper stills. The two wash stills and one spirit still each have a capacity of 1000 litres. The distillate rests between the two distillations. The separated heart cut then spends 48 hours in a 2,000-litre oak pre-maturation vessel before flowing by gravity into the maturation casks. A turbine dating from 1954 harnesses the Acher's water power and supplies a large share of the energy needed for whisky production.
