  Oloroso Cask Black Mikkeller Spirits Small Batch 43%

  Item no.: 22227865401-31

  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.

  White Dog Mikkeller Spirits Small Batch 42%

  Item no.: 22227865401-33

  White Dog is the spirit in its purest form — before any cask has had its say. Everything you taste is the grain, the fermentation and the distiller. Here it is Mikkeller Black imperial stout, distilled at Braunstein.

  Expert description

  White Dog Mikkeller Spirits Small Batch is an unaged New Make Malt Spirit at 42%, distilled at Braunstein Distillery from Mikkeller Black, Mikkeller's powerful imperial stout. White Dog is the American term for unaged, new make spirit — the distillate before wood has had any influence. Here it is used deliberately: no cask maturation, no colour, no wood. Just a clean distillate from a complex beer base, giving a fascinating insight into what the spirit is before the cask takes over.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh and clear with cereal aromas, light fruit tones and a soft malt sweetness. Clear fermentation character throughout.

  Palate

  Clean and direct. Malt, a light fruity sweetness and a suggestion of grain bread. No cask notes — everything is the distillate.

  Finish

  Short and clean. The malt lingers briefly and the alcohol has a gentle bite.

  Did you know?

  The term "White Dog" originates from the American bourbon tradition, where unaged spirit was historically sold illegally and called "white lightning" or "white dog." Today many distilleries use the term to release their raw, unaged distillate — it is essentially a taste of the whisky's future before the cask gets to work.
