  Faer Isles New Make Single Malt 20 cl 59,5%

  Item no.: 059763-615-9890

  Before whisky exists, there is only this: a clear, powerful spirit straight from the still, with no cask in sight. On the Faroe Islands they call it new make, and this small bottle captures one of the very first moments of Faer Isles Distillery's future whisky, caught before time and wood got the chance to shape it.

  The Expert's Description

  Faer Isles New Make Single Malt is an unaged whisky spirit from the Faroe Islands bottled at 59.5% ABV.

  The bottle holds new make spirit from Faer Isles Distillery in Vestmanna - the clear spirit that comes straight off the stills, before it has ever touched a cask. This particular batch was distilled on the distillery's Müller hybrid still, used before the current Scottish copper stills from LH Stainless were installed. The release was originally reserved for members of Faer Isles' Founders' Club and is counted among the distillery's first single malt spirit releases.

  Faer Isles is working toward a lightly peated whisky with a distinct oceanic character, matured in the traditional Faroese hjallur - an open-slatted timber storehouse where salt, humidity and wind penetrate the casks. This new make spirit, however, carries no cask influence at all and therefore shows the raw, unaged character of Faer Isles' malt spirit.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Clean and fresh with clear fruitiness and a rich, malty sweetness.

  Palate

  Powerful and oily, with malt firmly at the centre and a touch of fruit.

  Finish

  Short to medium, warm from the alcohol strength, with lingering malt character.

  Nobs Distillery Raw Spirit Danish Peated New Make 20 cl 54,8%

  Item no.: 059763-615-98922

  Samsø alternately smells of hay, sea and soil. Jens Knobelauch started NOBS Distillery here as a farm distillery with a straightforward conviction: whisky is craftsmanship, experience and dedication. Raw Spirit is the distillate in its most unfiltered form.

  Expert description

  Nobs Distillery Raw Spirit is a Danish Peated New Make spirit at 54.8%, bottled at 20 cl from the small farm distillery NOBS Distillery on Samsø. The distillery is run by Jens Knobelauch with a focus on whisky and apple brandy, using a traditional craft approach.

This is a limited release, partially sold directly at the distillery.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Strong peat notes up front. Light malt sweetness behind the smoke. Herbs and a slightly earthy quality.

  Palate

  Direct and intense. Smoke dominates but the malt keeps it in check. A light fruity sweetness and grain character.

  Finish

  Warm and lingering smoke. The alcohol is present but balanced by the malt body.

  Nobs Distillery Wildfire Danish Peated Malt Spirit 20 cl 45,8%

  Item no.: 059763-615-98923

  Wildfire is not a name chosen by accident. It is a peated malt spirit from Samsø that ignites the palate with peat and malt — but with a softer grip than its Raw Spirit sibling.

  Expert description

  Nobs Distillery Wildfire is a Danish Peated Malt Spirit at 45.8%, bottled at 20 cl from NOBS Distillery on Samsø. Where Raw Spirit from the same distillery is bottled at 54.8% as the most raw expression of the distillate, Wildfire is the lighter take on the same peated malt spirit — softer in structure and more accessible in ABV, but still clearly smoked and malt-based. Both expressions are unaged new make spirits. NOBS Distillery is run by Jens Knobelauch as a farm distillery focused on craft production.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Smoke with a softer edge than Raw Spirit. Sweet malt, lightly herbal and faintly fruity. The peat is present but not overwhelming.

  Palate

  Smooth and smoky. Malt sweetness breaks through the smoke, giving a rounder profile than at 54.8%. Light grain notes.

  Finish

  Medium length with gentle smoke and malt. Drier than the nose suggests.

  Did you know?

  The name "Wildfire" points to flame and smoke, but also to the uncontrolled energy of an unaged distillate. Calling a peated new make spirit Wildfire is an accurate description: it is a spirit not yet tamed by the cask's quiet, structuring influence.

  Item no.: 22227865482-97590

  No age. No cask influence. Just the pure distillate – exactly as it left the copper pot stills at Thy Whisky Distillery. Destillat 1 is the beginning of everything.

  Expert description

  Thy Whisky Destillat 1 is a Danish New Make bottled at 40% in a 50 cl bottle. A raw spirit – unpeated, unaged distillate of certified organic barley, undiluted from the characteristic copper pot stills at Thy Whisky Distillery in Thy. New make is whisky's starting point: the distillate that is then filled into casks and over time becomes whisky. Tasting Destillat 1 is tasting the foundation for what Thy Whisky then builds upon.

  For whisky enthusiasts, new make spirit is a unique window into the distillery's soul. Here there is no cask character, no age – only the pure taste of the distillate, the grain and the distillation process.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh and green with malt sweetness, herbs and a touch of citrus. Purity is the key word.

  Palate

  Light and fresh with the grain's natural sweetness and soft texture. No heavy notes – just the distillate's true character.

  Finish

  Short and fresh with malt sweetness and a clean ending.

  Did you know?

  New make spirit – unaged distillate – is technically not whisky, as whisky by definition must have spent at least three years in a cask. Nevertheless it is an incredibly important part of understanding a distillery, as it reveals the raw spirit's character without the influence of casks.
