Frequently asked questions about Thy Whisky FIFTY FIFTY

What is the FIFTY FIFTY concept?

FIFTY FIFTY means that the whisky is blended from exactly 50% from cask 664 and 50% from cask 1036. Both casks are from Thy Whisky Distillery, and the result is a vatted single cask release that shows what two specific casks can create together in exact balance.

Is Thy Whisky FIFTY FIFTY a good cask strength whisky for beginners?

59.3% is high and should be respected. A few drops of water opens the whisky's tasting notes significantly. It is primarily aimed at whisky enthusiasts with experience of cask strength releases.

What is the Danish Retailers series?

Should I add water to Thy Whisky FIFTY FIFTY?

It is highly recommended. A few drops of water lowers the strength and opens complex aromas that might otherwise be drowned out by the alcohol. Try it neat first, then with a little water.

Is FIFTY FIFTY limited?

What does the value reflect in a whisky like this?

For a cask strength whisky from a sought-after Danish single estate distillery, the value reflects rarity and the fact that every single cask is unique. The Danish Retailers series is produced for specific retailers and is not available in retail generally.
