Sall Whisky Friend Blend Batch 001 Organic Single Malt Danish Whisky 50 cl 61.2%

On June 5, 2025, twenty Sall Whisky Friends gathered in the village of Sall with empty glasses and open minds. In front of them stood five samples, each carrying its own story - bourbon, Amontillado, Palo Cortado, Oloroso and PX. By the end of the evening, the choice was made, and a new whisky was born from shared taste and a good dose of stubbornness.

Expert's Description

Sall Whisky Friend Blend #1 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky composed of five different sherry and bourbon casks and bottled at 61.2%.

The bottle is the result of a shared blending session at Sall Whisky Distillery, where twenty Sall Whisky Friends came together to taste their way to the best combination. Since every drop comes from the distillery's own spirit, this is technically closer to a vatting than a blend - but Friend Blend simply has a ring to it nobody wanted to trade away.

The foundation is five samples, each with its own character: 30 litres Ex-Bourbon, 4 litres Ex-Amontillado, 10 litres Ex-Palo Cortado, 30 litres Ex-Oloroso and 20 litres Ex-PX. The five whiskies were combined and filled onto a 2nd Fill Ex-Bourbon Quarter Cask, where they married for roughly a year before bottling in a limited run of 146 numbered bottles.

The release is dedicated to the Sall Whisky Friends, and every bottle carries its own number - a small reminder that this whisky was made together, not behind closed doors.

Did You Know?

Sall Whisky Distillery was founded by seven young men from the local area, who in 2016 rallied over 600 backers through a crowdfunding campaign to get the distillery built. The first spirit was distilled in 2017 on a small 100-litre copper pot still, using barley grown organically on a local farmer's own fields - the same soil that still supplies the distillery's grain today.
