Thy Whisky Fad no 14 Danish Single Malt Whisky 57,4%

Number 14 in the series. And it is beech-smoked. Thy Whisky No 14 Bøg is the strongest edition of the distillery's beech-smoked single malt – bottled at cask strength and free from chill filtration.

Expert description

Thy Whisky No 14 Bøg is a Danish Organic Single Malt Whisky bottled at 57.4% in a 70 cl bottle. Distilled from certified organic barley, malted and smoked with beech wood shavings in-house at Thy Whisky Distillery in northwest Jutland. No 14 is the numbered edition of the Bøg expression – with a markedly higher ABV than Core Expressions Bøg (50%) and with a concentration that brings the natural softness of the beech smoke out even more clearly.

57.4% is high, but the beech smoke is soft. The result is a fascinating contrast: a powerful distillate with a smoke character that is far from sharp or searing. Add a little water to open it up fully.

Nose

Intense beech smoke with honey, light nut and fresh forest in the background. Much more concentrated than Core Expressions Bøg.

Palate

Rich and warm with beech smoke, malt sweetness and light herbal character. Adding water reveals deeper fruit nuances.

Finish

Long with soft beech smoke and lingering warmth. Natural and harmonious.
