Sall Whisky TØRV 2.5 Organic Peated Single Malt Danish Whisky 70 cl 51%

Out on the Jutland bog the peat waits in dark layers of old plant matter, cut and dried the old way. Sall Whisky digs it up with a local peat guild and smokes their malt with it until the smoke sits deep in the grain. Tørv 2.5 is round five in that story - same fields, same stubborn peat.

The Expert's Take

Tørv 2.5 is a peated Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, bottled at 51%.

Tørv is the smoky side of Sall Whisky Distillery's core range, sitting alongside the softer Muld and the sherry-driven Glød. The barley for 2.5 is the organic varieties Prospect and Evergreen, grown on the distillery's own fields Kvolbæk and Gejlund - this time drawn from two harvest years, 2020 and 2021, because Sall would rather use what the fields actually gave than wait for one uniform crop. The malt is a mix of pale and Vienna malt, smoked with Danish bog peat from North Jutland, supplied by the distillery's friends at Tørvebisserne in Moseby. The whisky is double distilled in direct-fired copper pot stills - a slower, more hands-on method than most young distilleries bother with. From there it rests in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks before being bottled without chill filtration or added colour in August 2026. Only 850 bottles were filled from this batch.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Smoke arrives first - earthy and light, closer to fresh bog peat than a heavy Islay style. Behind it sits sweetness from the pale malt, with a touch of honey.

Palate

The smoke carries through onto the palate, met by a tart-sweet edge from the sherry casks and a rounder, softer character from the ex-bourbon casks.

Finish

Long and smoky, with a dry, peaty edge that slowly gives way to a faint malt sweetness.

Did You Know?

The peat for the Tørv series isn't dug by Sall themselves - it comes from Tørvebisserne, a small group of friends in Moseby, North Jutland, who cut peat from the local bog the old-fashioned way. Danish bog peat has a completely different composition of plant matter than Scottish peat, and that difference is what gives the Tørv series its own smoke character instead of just copying Islay.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tørv 2.5

What makes Tørv 2.5 different from earlier Tørv releases?

The barley comes from two different harvest years, 2020 and 2021, blended into one batch, and the whisky is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks rather than a single cask type. That gives it a different balance of smoke and sweetness than earlier batches in the series.

How many bottles were made of Tørv 2.5?

Only 850 bottles were filled from this batch, so it's a limited release that won't come around again in exactly this form.

Should Tørv 2.5 be drunk with ice or neat?

Try it neat first, or with a few drops of water - that opens up the malt sweetness without washing away the smoke. Ice mutes both the smoke and the sweetness more than a peated whisky like this one can afford.

What glass works best for a peated whisky like Tørv 2.5?

A narrow glass like a Glencairn concentrates the smoke and aroma better than a wide one, making it easier to pick apart the malt, smoke and cask influence. See our range of whisky glasses.

Where does the barley for Tørv 2.5 come from?

The barley is the organic varieties Prospect and Evergreen, grown on Sall Whisky's own fields Kvolbæk and Gejlund. Every batch in the Tørv series can be traced back to the exact fields and harvest year the grain came from.

What is Sall Whisky Distillery, and where is it located?

Sall Whisky Distillery is a small, organic microdistillery in Hammel, Jutland, founded by a group of friends who wanted to make whisky from their own fields through to the finished bottle. Alongside Tørv, they also produce the softer Muld and the sherry-driven Glød releases.
