Knaplund Atlantic Aged Batch 1 Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey 50 cl 50%

The first batch. Knaplund started with wheat and sea — and the result is a bourbon-inspired whiskey that tastes of Denmark's west coast.

Expert description

Knaplund Atlantic Aged Batch 1 Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the first release in Knaplund's Atlantic aged bourbon-inspired series, bottled at 50%. Wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain, giving a softer, more fruit-forward character than the spicy Rye series. "Straight" guarantees at least 2 years of ageing with no artificial additives. Matured near the Atlantic so sea air leaves its maritime signature. 50 cl.
