Smögen 10 y.o. - Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads - Swedish Single Malt

Volume: 0.5 litres | Alcohol content: 51.4% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

This heavily peated Smögen matured for ten years in four Oloroso sherry hogsheads. Made with Concerto barley, the whisky was distilled in 2015 and bottled in 2025. The batch yielded 1,490 bottles.

Smoke and malt mingle with dark dried fruit and the nutty, spicy notes of Oloroso maturation. Walnut, tobacco, dark chocolate, orange peel, cinnamon, tar and liquorice add further depth. The whisky was bottled at batch strength with 51.4% ABV; it is not chill-filtered and contains no added colouring. The 0.5-litre bottle comes in gift packaging.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, malt and smoke mingle with dark dried fruit and spices. Orange peel, leather and a little tobacco add further accents.
• Palate: The whisky is full-bodied and smoky on the palate. Nuts and dark chocolate meet malt, sherry sweetness, liquorice and spicy oak.
• Finish: The finish is long, smoky and spicy. It fades dry and slightly salty, with lingering spices and tobacco.

Distillery/Bottler:

Pär Caldenby founded Smögen Whisky AB in 2009 near Hunnebostrand on Sweden’s west coast; distillation began in 2010. The small distillery uses pot stills and is especially known for its heavily peated single malts. It uses both sherry and bourbon casks for its bottlings.

Smögen Whisky AB produced this single malt and released it as an official bottling. For the ten-year-old edition, whisky from four Oloroso hogsheads was combined.
