Mosgaard Single Cask Amontillado 1846 Organic Single Malt Danish Whisky 50 cl 56.8%

Mosgaard Amontillado Single Cask is the name of this Danish Single Malt Whisky – selected by Jes Mosgaard, and with only 250 bottles available, you shouldn’t wait too long to secure this delicious Danish whisky. Amontillado is an exciting experiment based on aging the whisky in two different types of sherry casks. It was first matured for almost 4 years in PX casks, providing the renowned elegance, sweetness, and fine fruit notes characteristic of our PX whisky – and then an additional two years in an old Amontillado Hogshead.

Amontillado sherry is an intriguing, double-matured sherry that first ages under Flor in the casks, and after approximately 3.5-5 years, the Flor disappears, allowing the sherry to continue maturing oxidatively. This process typically gives the sherry fascinating notes of tobacco, nuts, acidity, and “wood” characteristics.

It is precisely this spicy combination that Jes Mosgaard wanted to add to the qualities that the Oloroso casks provide – and he has succeeded magnificently. His tasting notes from an earlier session include dryness, almonds/nuts, vanilla/marzipan, plums, blue grapes, figs, cinnamon, and orange – and with a little water, it opens up with tingling grapefruit notes. Bottled at 56.8%, it is exciting to savor it over time, adding water gradually to slowly explore its various layers of flavor.
