Sall Whisky Forhandlernes Fad #1 Oloroso Cask Single Malt Danish Whisky 50,3%

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.

Frequently asked questions about Sall Whisky Forhandlernes Fad #1

What is "Forhandlernes Fad"?

Forhandlernes Fad is Sall Whisky's series of single cask bottlings specifically selected and bottled for special retailers. Fad #1 is the first in the series – an exclusive single cask from an oloroso sherry cask.

What is oloroso sherry?

Oloroso is a sherry style matured by oxidative contact with air – without the biological flor that protects other sherry styles. This gives a dense, nutty sweetness with dark fruits and dried grapes. In whisky cask maturation, oloroso is one of the most classic and well-known choices.

Is it worth the money?

As a single cask from a small Danish distillery with a limited number of bottles and exclusive retailer series status, Forhandlernes Fad #1 is a selective product. It is a rare combination of Danish single farm malt and a classic oloroso sherry cask – difficult to replace once the bottles are gone.

What is Sall Whisky?

Sall Whisky is an organic Danish single farm distillery on Djursland that grows its own grain and makes small batch single malt whisky with a focus on terroir and transparency.
