Tasting notes

Nose

Mature and aged with a complexity that takes time to unfold. Dark fruit, oak and a layer of warm vanilla and dry nougat. A wistfully soft character.

Palate

Deep and full-bodied with 12 years of cask and malt integration. Ripe fruit nuances – plums, dried figs – with an elegant dry oak spiciness. It moves slowly and deliberately across the palate.

Did you know?

Saudade is a Portuguese concept that cannot be directly translated – it describes a deep, melancholic longing for something distant or lost. It is no coincidence that Isle of Fionia chose this name for their oldest whisky: 12 years of waiting is also a kind of saudade.

Sjæl means soul in Danish. When organic Danish malt meets a cask full of Pedro Ximénez sherry, something happens that goes beyond the technical. A whisky that tastes like it means it.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Sjæl PX Cask Finish is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. Distilled at Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery in the historic DSB train depot in Nyborg, Funen, the whisky first matured in ex-Bourbon casks before undergoing a finish in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. PX sherry is one of the densest and sweetest sherry styles, produced from semi-dried grapes, and its casks leave a deep sweetness of raisins, figs and dark chocolate in the whisky. Bottling without chill filtration preserves the natural fatty acids that give body and a slight haze.

Tasting notes

Nose

Deep and sweet with a clear layer of PX sherry: dark raisins, plums and a hint of dark chocolate. Underneath lies the Bourbon sweetness from the first casks – vanilla and caramel.

Palate

Full-bodied and persistent with concentrated fruit sweetness. Figs, dates, slowly drifting orange peel and a warm, lightly tannic finish from the oak. The body is elegantly heavy.

Finish

Long and sweet with lingering notes of dark fruit and a discreet spiciness that slowly fades.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia The Admiral's Revenge is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.1% as part of the Adventurous Spirit series from Isle of Fionia / Nyborg Distillery. Distilled in 2011 and 2013 and bottled in December 2020 in 65 bottles. The cask journey is three-stage: first maturation on bourbon casks, then a boost on virgin casks of Danish fleet oak from Erholm Estate in Funen, and finally a finish on a 50-litre STR cask. The intense cask character of virgin Danish oak – with powerful tannins and intense oak notes – is central to this whisky.

Tasting notes

Nose

Prominent oak cask notes – tannins, vanilla and powerful oak from the virgin Danish oak. Cherry and ripe red fruits layer beautifully over the intense cask base.

Palate

Powerful and expressive at 50.1% with the virgin Danish oak in the lead. Intense oak notes, vanilla and cherry go hand in hand. The STR finish adds fruity sweetness as a gentle counterpoint. A drop of water is recommended.

The virgin Danish oak casks in The Admiral's Revenge were made from trees at Erholm Estate – planted under a royal decree following the Napoleonic Wars of 1807-09, when Denmark lost its fleet. The trees were intended to become new warships. Instead they became whisky casks. That historical circle is what makes The Admiral's Revenge more than just a good glass.

Seven casks. Same cask type. Bottled together as one expression. That is the 7 Sister Casks philosophy from Mosgaard Distillery – and here they come with 8 years of Oloroso sherry character at 58.2%.

Expert description

Mosgaard 8 Year Oloroso Cask 7 Sister Casks is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 58.2% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky has been matured for 8 years on Oloroso sherry casks as part of the 7 Sister Casks concept – a series where seven casks of the same type are bottled together as a batch, giving greater consistency and depth than a single cask alone. Oloroso is a dry sherry cask with a rich, nutty and fruity character, and 8 years of maturation gives this cask ample opportunity to integrate with the organic Funen distillate. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Rich Oloroso sherry sweetness with dried fruits, walnut and dark caramel. Eight years of cask integration delivers a well-balanced, complex nose.

Palate

The 7 Sister Casks concept at Mosgaard is based on the idea of bottling 7 casks of the same type together.

Tasting notes

Nose

Intensely sweet PX sherry with dried raisins, dark chocolate and cream. A nose that lingers before you even open the bottle. Rich and uncompromising.

Did you know?

Pedro Ximenez (PX) is a grape grown in the Jerez region of southern Spain. The grapes are sun-dried to raisins, concentrating the sugar content to the extreme. The resulting sherry is so sweet it is almost syrupy. A PX cask that has held this sherry transfers its dense sweetness directly to the matured distillate.

Listen to our podcast:

Amontillado is the forgotten midfielder of the sherry universe. Not as sweet as PX. Not as dense as Oloroso. But more complex than both. Mosgaard has chosen it as a cask type in 50 cl – and the result is nut kernels, hazelnuts and a dry, long finish.

Expert description

Mosgaard Amontillado is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 46.5% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky has been matured in Amontillado sherry casks – a sherry type that starts as Fino and continues ageing oxidatively into a complex, dry and nutty style. Amontillado casks give a character that differs clearly from the heavy sweetness of PX or Oloroso: here it is nuts, hazelnuts, wax and a dry, refined fruitiness. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dry hazelnut and waxy nuts with a light sulphury Fino background. Fresh and complex – far from the heavy sherry one might expect.

Palate

Elegant at 46.5% with nut kernels, lightly salted caramel and a dry, lavender-spiced oak. Amontillado gives a refined dryness that liberates the distillate rather than dominating it.

Finish

Long and dry with hazelnuts and an almost bitter, elegant oak tannin close.

Did you know?

Amontillado sherry starts life as Fino – the lightest and driest sherry type. When a Fino loses its biological shield (la flor) and begins to oxidise, it completely changes character and becomes Amontillado: deep, nutty and refined. It is two wines in one bottle, and this gives a unique cask profile for whisky.

Port wine is a fortified wine from the Douro Valley in Portugal. Once port wine casks have given up most of their port character, whisky distilleries use them as finishing casks. Mosgaard uses port wine casks as part of their broad range of cask expressions – it is one of the softer and more fruity options in Mosgaard's palette.

Peat and bourbon are two things that don't always go hand in hand. But Mosgaard has done it – and batch number one is here. Peated malt meets the bourbon cask's vanilla and sweetness in an organic Danish expression at 48.4%.

Expert description

Mosgaard Peated Bourbon Batch #1 is an organic Peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 48.4% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky is the first batch in Mosgaard's Peated Bourbon series – peated malt matured in ex-bourbon casks. It is a combination that creates an interesting contrast: the smoke from the peat meets the sweet vanilla and caramel of the bourbon cask, and the result is a smoky expression with a softer, fruitier edge than typical peated whiskies matured in ex-sherry casks. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Smoky peat with the bourbon cask's sweet vanilla and caramel underneath. An interesting intersection of smoke and sweetness.

Palate

Fresh smoke with bourbon vanilla, light citrus sweetness and grain in the background. The bourbon cask softens the peat and gives a more fruity and approachable smoke style.

Did you know?

Ex-bourbon casks are one of the most widely used cask types in the whisky world – but the combination with peated malt is relatively uncommon. Most peated single malts use ex-sherry casks to amplify the smoke. Mosgaard's Peated Bourbon Batch #1 does the opposite and gives the peat a light, fresh bourbon foundation instead of a dark, fruity sherry base.

The organic Funen distillate matured on a bourbon cask of American white oak, contributing classic vanilla, caramel and grain roundness. A bourbon cask is the world's most classic cask type and gives the most direct expression of the distillate's character – here the organic grain from Ørbæk. A bottling that captures the essence of the Ørbæk era in one bottle.

Tasting notes

Nose

Classic bourbon cask character with vanilla, caramel and wheat grain. Clean and clear organic base from the organic Funen distillate. A fresh, appealing nose.

Palate

Round and full-bodied at 59% with the bourbon cask's classic sweetness as the centrepiece. Vanilla and butter biscuit with an underlying grain richness. Approachable and well-defined.

Finish

Medium long with lingering vanilla and a clean, slightly dry oak close.

Investment potential

High. Ørbæk-era bourbon bottlings from Nyborg Distillery are historically standalone productions. The distillery no longer produces at Ørbæk, and these classic bourbon cask bottlings represent a definitively closed chapter.

Did you know?

Under US law, bourbon casks may only be used to produce bourbon once. This makes used bourbon casks the most accessible and affordable casks for Scottish and American distilleries. For small Danish distilleries like Nyborg Distillery, used bourbon casks were often the first casks they acquired and a central part of the very earliest bottlings.

Funen meets Islay. An organic distillate from Ørbæk Brewery finished on a Laphroaig cask – perhaps the most unlikely combination in Danish whisky history. The result: 69%, raw and smoky.

Expert description

Nyborg Distillery Laphroaig Finish is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 69% cask strength from the distillery's early Ørbæk era. The organic Funen distillate was finished on a cask from Laphroaig – one of Islay's most famous heavily peated distilleries. The finish adds smoke, peat and iodine to the otherwise clean and organic Danish distillate. The extreme ABV of 69% is uncut and demands attention. A bottling that is unique in every respect – and will never be repeated.

Tasting notes

Nose

Powerful smoke and peat from the Laphroaig cask. Iodine and coastline. Beneath the smoke the organic distillate is present with grain and a light sweetness.

Palate

Intense and explosive at 69% – water is strictly necessary. Smoke and peat dominate, but there is an underlying Danish organic sweetness behind the Islay character. Iodine and sea salt.

Finish

Very long and persistently smoky with an iodine-medicinal close typical of Laphroaig. A finish that lingers.

Investment potential

High. The combination of Danish organic Ørbæk production and a Laphroaig finish at 69% is unique and unrepeatable. These early Ørbæk bottlings are no longer produced and form part of the birth and infancy of Danish whisky.

Did you know?

Laphroaig on Islay is famous for its heavily peated whisky with characteristic iodine and creosote notes. The distillery holds a Royal Warrant from King Charles III. That a Danish organic distillate ended up on a Laphroaig cask is so unexpected it borders on the absurd – but the result speaks for itself.

Before the train depot in Nyborg. Before Isle of Fionia. This is Nyborg Distillery from the Ørbæk era – an organic Danish single malt at 59% reflecting the very first years at Ørbæk Brewery.

Expert description

Nyborg Distillery Sherry Finish is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength 59% from the distillery's early production at Ørbæk Brewery. Today, Nyborg Distillery produces under the Isle of Fionia brand in the historic DSB train depot in Nyborg – but these Ørbæk bottlings represent roots and beginnings. The whisky has been matured and finished on sherry casks, which add sweetness and depth to the organic distillate. A bottling with historical value for the Nyborg Distillery collector universe.

Tasting notes

Nose

Ripe sherry sweetness with dried fruit, vanilla and a gentle nutty character. The organic distillate provides a clean, fresh base beneath the cask richness.

Palate

Full-bodied at 59% with the sherry cask sweetness well integrated. Dried plums, caramel and warm spice. The heat from the strength is well-integrated.

Finish

Medium long with lingering sherry and a light oak tannin close.

Did you know?

Nyborg Distillery started production at Ørbæk Brewery in Funen – an organic brewery with long traditions. When the distillery grew and got its own premises in the historic DSB train depot in Nyborg, the brand changed to Isle of Fionia. The Ørbæk productions are the only ones that carried the distillery's original identity.

Whiskymessen 2018, cask number two. Same fair, different cask, a new character. 62.6% from Ørbæk Brewery.

Expert description

Nyborg Distillery Whiskymessen 2018 (62.6%) is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 62.6% cask strength for the Danish Whisky Fair in 2018. Like the corresponding 64.6% bottling, it was produced during the distillery's Ørbæk era and represents a separate cask with its own flavour character. The two Whiskymessen 2018 bottlings complement each other and offer enthusiasts the opportunity to compare what two casks from the same period and base spirit can produce. A standalone and rare bottling.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh grain base with a clean organic character. Light sweetness and a delicate plum fruitiness. Discreet cask influence allowing the distillate to shine through.

Palate

Gentle and approachable at 62.6% with integrated warmth. Fresh apple fruit and light sweetness. A warm finish on the palate.

Finish

Clean and short to medium with fresh grain notes.

Medium. As the second bottling for Whiskymessen 2018 from the Ørbæk era, it is a complementary collector piece to the 64.6% version. Both are from a definitively closed production period.

Did you know?

It is unusual for a distillery to release two separate event bottlings at the same fair. By releasing two casks at Whiskymessen 2018, Nyborg Distillery offered collectors and enthusiasts the chance to experience how different two casks from the same distillery and era can be.

When an imperial stout meets Oloroso sherry casks, the result is something nutty, a little dry, and impossible to place in a conventional category. Mikkeller and Braunstein found that out firsthand.

Expert description

Oloroso Cask Black Mikkeller Spirits Small Batch is a New Make Malt Spirit at 43%, distilled at Braunstein Distillery from Mikkeller Black imperial stout and briefly matured in Oloroso sherry casks. This collaboration pairs Mikkeller's brewing expertise with Braunstein's distillation knowledge. The Oloroso casks contribute rich, nutty notes and a suggestion of dark fruit to the young spirit. The result is an idiosyncratic spirit type that refuses to be called either whisky or beer.

Tasting notes

Nose

Toasted nuts, light dried fruit and pale caramel. The Oloroso cask adds a discreet nuttiness and a faint sherry aroma.

Palate

Soft and lightly nutty with dark raisins, a malty cereal note and a hint of chocolate. The sherry influence is subtle but present.

Finish

Short to medium length with light sherry tones and a dry, nutty close.

Did you know?

Oloroso is the driest and nuttiest style within the sherry family. While fino and amontillado are lighter and fresher, Oloroso adds a deeper, more complex sweetness — well-suited to lifting a young, unaged distillate.

Rye is a harder grain to work with than barley. But it is also a grain with more character — spicy, peppery, dry and more insistent in flavour. Reinheart has matured their rye for six years and bottled it as a Small Batch. This is a more mature expression than the younger releases and shows what time does to rye.

Expert description

Reinheart Rye Whiskey 6 Year Small Batch is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 45%, bottled at 50 cl. It is matured for six years and produced as a Small Batch bottling — meaning from a limited number of casks at a time. Reinheart is a Danish micro-distillery producing rye and malt whiskies with a focus on craftsmanship and Danish raw materials. Six years is a respectable age for a Danish rye whiskey and gives the cask time to soften rye's natural edges.

Tasting notes

Nose

Peppery and spicy with characteristic rye aroma. Sweet vanilla and caramel from the cask. Lightly bakery-like — rye bread and a hint of cinnamon stick.

Palate

The rye character is central — dry, spicy and insistent with oak and caramel in the background. 45% is a good strength for this expression — enough to carry the flavour without being harsh.

Finish

Long and spicy with dried fruit and rye bread. Warm and satisfying.

Did you know?

Rye whiskey has historically dominated the American market, but in Scandinavia, rye is a natural grain with long agricultural traditions. Reinheart using Danish rye to produce whiskey is a combination of the best of two worlds — local raw material, global whisky tradition.

Cask #2 is one of two bottlings from Reinheart's 2015 distillation — this barrel at 56.8%. A bourbon-inspired rye whiskey from a Danish-German collaboration, aged 7 years in a Toast M / Char 4 American oak cask.

Expert description

Reinheart Rye Whiskey Cask #2 2022 is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 56.8%, distilled in Germany in 2015 and bottled in December 2022 as a Single Cask from Cask #2, in a limited run of 250 numbered bottles. The mashbill is 70% rye, 20% corn and 10% malted barley. Matured in an American virgin oak cask (Toast M / Char 4) at Vintre Møller in Central Zealand, Denmark. Bottled by Hammer & Son. The founders of the project came up with the idea after a pub crawl in 2012, aiming to make a classic rye whiskey in the bourbon tradition.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh rye, vanilla and oak. Light spice notes — cinnamon, black pepper — with a soft honey character from the oak maturation.

Palate

Balanced and spicy. Rye dominates with its characteristic dryness, but the oak's vanilla and caramel are present. Marginally softer than Cask #3 at 56.8%.

Finish

Long and dry. The spice holds and the oak closes with a rounded note.

Henrik had an idea during a pub crawl in 2012: make a rye whiskey in the Kentucky bourbon tradition but with a Danish anchor. It took until 2022 to see the result. Cask #3 is one barrel from that journey — bottled at 59%.

Expert description

Reinheart Rye Whiskey Cask #3 2022 is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 59%, distilled in Germany in 2015 and bottled in December 2022 as a Single Cask from Cask #3, making it 7 years old. The mashbill is 70% rye, 20% corn and 10% malted barley — a classic bourbon-inspired rye grain bill. The distillate was aged in an American virgin oak cask (Toast M / Char 4) at Vintre Møller in Central Zealand, Denmark. Bottled by Hammer & Son. This is a Danish-German co-production showing that Danish whisky need not be distilled in Denmark — but can be aged and bottled here.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh rye and vanilla from the American oak. Light spice notes — ginger, black pepper — and a suggestion of honey and caramel.

Palate

Intense and spicy. Rye's characteristic dryness and spice meet the oak's sweetness. Light fruit and caramel in the mid-palate, with a dry rye finish.

Finish

Long and dry with lingering spice and oak. The rye's fingerprint holds.

2022. Sall Whisky opened its doors for the first bottle. Not just any bottle – the first official release from a Danish single farm distillery on Djursland with home-grown barley.

Expert description

Sall Whisky Inaugural Release 2022 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 52.2% from Sall Whisky in Djursland, Jutland. It is the distillery's very first official release – the historic moment when Sall Whisky's single farm malt goes from being a project to being a product. Sall Whisky specialises in growing their own barley, mashing, fermenting and distilling everything on the farm. Inaugural Release 2022 is from the very first casks and carries the youngest character of the distillery's work – a historic bottle for everyone following Danish whisky.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and organic – the young Jutland single farm malt is clear with fruitiness and grain character. A clean, slightly open nose that hints at what more maturation will bring.

Palate

52.2% gives good body. Organic grain, light fruitiness and a freshness characteristic of the first years. Distillate quality is clear even at the young age.

Finish

Fresh and relatively short – a young distillery's signature.

High. Inaugural Release – the very first official release from a distillery – is by definition a rare historic bottle. Sall Whisky's Inaugural Release 2022 marks the start of a unique single farm project, and it is no longer in production.

Did you know?

Sall Whisky is one of very few places in the world that can truly operate as a "single farm" distillery – from soil to bottle. The barley that grows in the fields at Sall on Djursland is the same barley that ends up in Inaugural Release 2022. No middlemen, no external malting. It is a rare and unique model.

Fondillón is the wine of kings — produced in tiny quantities near Alicante in Spain, rarely seen beyond the Iberian peninsula. Maturing Danish whisky in these casks is not merely an experiment. It is the world's first distillery bottling of whisky finished in Fondillón casks — and it was made in Denmark.

Expert description

Sall Whisky 5 Year Fondillon Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in rare Fondillón casks from Alicante, bottled at 55.4% Vol. This is a historic release: World First Ex-Fondillón Distillery Bottling.

Fondillón is an oxidative red wine from the Monastrell grape, produced exclusively in the Alicante region in quantities so small that it rarely reaches international markets. Sall Whisky is a Single Farm Single Malt distillery near Ebeltoft in Central Jutland with full control over barley, malting and maturation. The result is a 100% organic Danish whisky at 55.4% with a wine cask profile never previously seen in Danish whisky history. 340 bottles, no chill filtration, no colouring added.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dried orange peel and dark raisins from the Fondillón cask, with hints of fig and old wine cellar. Beneath the wine character lies Sall Whisky's clean malt and a gentle nutty sweetness.

Palate

Powerful and vinous with dark dried fruit, orange and a suggestion of dark chocolate. Malt and oak provide a steady foundation as the Fondillón cask takes clear command.

Finish

Long and lingering with dried fruits and a fine tannin grip from the Fondillón wine. Warm and complex — unlike almost anything else in Danish whisky.

Did you know?

Fondillón is documented in historical records from the 16th century, when it was served at European royal courts — hence the name "Wine of Kings". Today it is produced by only a handful of bodegas in the Alicante region, and Sall Whisky is the first distillery in the world to have bottled a distillate matured in these very casks.

Cask number one. Sall Whisky's first retailer single cask – bottled from a single oloroso sherry cask for the retailers who wanted to be first with an exclusive edition of the North Jutland single farm malt.

Expert description

Sall Whisky Forhandlernes Fad #1 Oloroso Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.3% from Sall Whisky in Djursland. It is the distillery's first "retailer cask" – a single cask chosen and bottled specifically for selected retailers. The cask is an oloroso sherry cask, which adds a sweet, nutty sherry character with dark fruits and dried grapes to Sall Whisky's organic single farm malt. 50.3% is a good strength to show the sherry cask's nuances without losing the malt's grain character.

Tasting notes

Nose

The oloroso sherry's sweet, nutty character meets Sall Whisky's clean Jutland single farm malt. Dried grapes, hazelnut and a light spiciness from the sherry cask.

Palate

50.3% gives a good balance. The sherry cask's sweetness and nuts are clear, but the grain base is still visible – lightly fruity and organic beneath the classic oloroso character.

Finish

Long and warm with oloroso sherry's nutty and lightly sweet close.

Did you know?

Oloroso is one of the driest sherry styles – it is made without the protective biological flor film that characterises fino and manzanilla, and instead oxidises slowly. This gives oloroso casks a dense, nutty and sweet profile that is easily recognisable in whisky. For Sall Whisky's clean single farm malt, it is an exciting partnership.

Not every single cask gets a name. Sall Whisky's Founders Cask no 1 is called Kåre – named after one of the founders behind the distillery on Djursland. A personal cask at 55.1% in 50 cl.

Expert description

Sall Whisky Founders Cask no 1 Kåre is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 55.1% from Sall Whisky in Djursland, Jutland. It is the distillery's first founders cask – a single cask bottled and named after founder Kåre as a personal marker of the distillery's history. 55.1% is a high strength that gives direct and undiluted access to the cask and malt character. The bottle is 50 cl – slightly smaller than standard – and was bottled in very limited numbers.

Tasting notes

Nose

55.1% cask strength gives intensity. Sall Whisky's clean organic single farm malt is central, with the cask character clear over the grain base. Fruity and lightly spiced.

Palate

Powerful and rich at cask strength. The grain's natural sweetness and fruitiness combined with a pronounced and direct cask influence – a clear single cask expression.

Finish

Long and persistent with cask strength amplifying all flavour and aftertaste.

No smoke. Just the pure single farm malt from Djursland at 52.2%. Sall Whisky's GLØD series is the answer to the question of what happens when all focus is placed on the grain – not the peat.

Expert description

Sall Whisky GLØD 3.2 is an Organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 52.2% from Sall Whisky in Djursland, Jutland. The whisky is batch 3.2 of the ongoing GLØD series – the distillery's unpeated expression. GLØD shows what Sall Whisky's single farm malt is made of when peat is not part of the story: the organic Jutland grain, the fermentation and the clean distillate. 52.2% is bottled without dilution and gives direct access to the malt's natural sweetness and fruitiness.

Tasting notes

Nose

Clean and fruity – organic grain, a light sweetness and a hint of woodland berries from the fermentation. No smoke, but a clear character from the North Jutland single farm malt.

Palate

52.2% is a good strength for bringing out the organic malt's nuances. Cereal and fruity with a light sweetness and a touch of honey and light citrus.

Finish

Fresh and medium length with the grain's natural sweetness as the closing note.

GLØD and TØRV are Sall Whisky's two parallel series – the same single farm malt, the same distillery, two completely different profiles. Comparing the two is a unique exercise in what peat actually does to a distillate: everything else is the same. This is especially interesting because the malt base is from the same farm and harvest.
