Did you know?

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.
