Isle of Fionia Cask No.1 Nyborg Distillery Organic Single Malt Danish Whisky Ørbæk 58%

Cask No 1. Few bottlings in the world carry that weight. The very first cask from Nyborg Distillery – bottled at 58% while the distillery was still based at Ørbæk Brewery. This is the beginning.

Expert description

Isle of Fionia Cask No 1 is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 58% from the very first cask ever produced at Nyborg Distillery. Made during the Ørbæk era – before the Isle of Fionia brand, before the train depot in Nyborg, before Distillery of the Year 2025. It is the distillery's birth certificate in a bottle. A bottling that combines the historic early Ørbæk character of the organic Funen distillate with the simple, direct expression of a cask from the very first days. A concluded moment in Danish whisky's timeline.
