Seven casks. Same cask type. Bottled together as one expression. That is the 7 Sister Casks philosophy from Mosgaard Distillery – and here they come with 8 years of Oloroso sherry character at 58.2%.

Expert description

Mosgaard 8 Year Oloroso Cask 7 Sister Casks is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 58.2% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky has been matured for 8 years on Oloroso sherry casks as part of the 7 Sister Casks concept – a series where seven casks of the same type are bottled together as a batch, giving greater consistency and depth than a single cask alone. Oloroso is a dry sherry cask with a rich, nutty and fruity character, and 8 years of maturation gives this cask ample opportunity to integrate with the organic Funen distillate. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Rich Oloroso sherry sweetness with dried fruits, walnut and dark caramel. Eight years of cask integration delivers a well-balanced, complex nose.

Palate

Full-bodied and round at 58.2% with the sherry cask's dark fruit and nutty character at the centre. Dried plums, figs and a warm oak spiciness. A drop of water is recommended.

Finish

Long and lasting with dry Oloroso sherry and light oak tannin.

Did you know?

The 7 Sister Casks concept at Mosgaard is based on the idea of bottling 7 casks of the same type together. Rather than highlighting a single cask – and thus a single character – Mosgaard blends the 7 casks into one batch expression. This gives greater consistency, more depth, and a more accessible entry point to the whisky than a single cask alone.

Pedro Ximenez is the sweetest of all sherry casks. Eight years on a PX cask and 58.5% uncut – exclusively bottled for Whisky.dk in 2026. A remarkably rich and uncompromising expression.

Expert description

Mosgaard 8 Year Whisky.dk 2026 PX Cask is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 58.5% exclusively for Whisky.dk in 2026. The whisky has been matured for 8 years on Pedro Ximenez sherry casks – a cask type derived from the PX grape in Jerez, which produces the sweetest and most intensive type of sherry. PX casks impart enormous amounts of sweetness, dark fruit and dried raisins to a distillate, and 8 years of contact delivers a deep and uncompromising cask influence. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Intensely sweet PX sherry with dried raisins, dark chocolate and cream. A nose that lingers before you even open the bottle. Rich and uncompromising.

Palate

Full-bodied and intense at 58.5% with extreme sweetness from the PX cask. Raisins, dark plums and coffee notes from the rich sherry character. A drop of water is necessary for greater enjoyment.

Finish

Very long and persistent with a dark, chocolatey sweetness and dried fruit at the close.

Medium. Exclusive bottlings for a single retailer in limited numbers are by definition rare – and this PX bottling for Whisky.dk 2026 is unique in that it will never be repeated in exactly the same form.

Did you know?

Pedro Ximenez (PX) is a grape grown in the Jerez region of southern Spain. The grapes are sun-dried to raisins, concentrating the sugar content to the extreme. The resulting sherry is so sweet it is almost syrupy. A PX cask that has held this sherry transfers its dense sweetness directly to the matured distillate.

Listen to our podcast:

Amontillado is the forgotten midfielder of the sherry universe. Not as sweet as PX. Not as dense as Oloroso. But more complex than both. Mosgaard has chosen it as a cask type in 50 cl – and the result is nut kernels, hazelnuts and a dry, long finish.

Expert description

Mosgaard Amontillado is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 46.5% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky has been matured in Amontillado sherry casks – a sherry type that starts as Fino and continues ageing oxidatively into a complex, dry and nutty style. Amontillado casks give a character that differs clearly from the heavy sweetness of PX or Oloroso: here it is nuts, hazelnuts, wax and a dry, refined fruitiness. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dry hazelnut and waxy nuts with a light sulphury Fino background. Fresh and complex – far from the heavy sherry one might expect.

Palate

Elegant at 46.5% with nut kernels, lightly salted caramel and a dry, lavender-spiced oak. Amontillado gives a refined dryness that liberates the distillate rather than dominating it.

Finish

Long and dry with hazelnuts and an almost bitter, elegant oak tannin close.

Did you know?

Amontillado sherry starts life as Fino – the lightest and driest sherry type. When a Fino loses its biological shield (la flor) and begins to oxidise, it completely changes character and becomes Amontillado: deep, nutty and refined. It is two wines in one bottle, and this gives a unique cask profile for whisky.

The first. That's what counts when Mosgaard calls it Edition No 1. An organic Danish single malt on Pedro Ximenez sherry casks – and a bottling that sets the standard for the series.

Expert description

Mosgaard Edition No 1 Pedro Ximenez is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 46.3% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky is the first release in Mosgaard's Edition series – a series dedicated to special bottlings with emphasis on exclusive casks and limited numbers of bottles. Pedro Ximenez is the sweetest sherry cask type and gives an enormously rich, raisiny and dark fruity character. Edition No 1 represents Mosgaard's ambition to create special, memorable whisky experiences beyond the regular range. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dense PX sherry with dried raisins, dark chocolate and coffee. A nose that fills the room – rich and meditative at 46.3%.

Palate

Full-bodied PX sweetness with figs, dark plums and a warm spiciness from the organic distillate. The lower alcohol makes it more approachable than a cask strength version.

Did you know?

Edition No 1 is Mosgaard's answer to what collectors and enthusiasts otherwise travel to Scotland, Ireland or Japan for: an exclusive, limited bottling from a distillery that knows what it's doing. Mosgaard won Distillery of the Year 2025 – and the Edition series is one of the reasons why.

Port wine is perhaps the most approachable of all sherry-like casks – soft sweetness, red berries and flowers. Mosgaard has used it in 50 cl format at 49%, and the result is a Danish single malt that doesn't intimidate anyone.

Expert description

Mosgaard Port Wine Cask is an organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 49% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky has been matured in port wine casks, which impart a soft, fruity and gently sweet character with red berries and flowers. Port wine casks are produced from the remnants of fortified wines from Portugal and give a more approachable and fruity expression than heavy sherry casks. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Soft sweetness with red berries, cherries and light floral notes. A fresh and inviting nose.

Palate

Round and fruity at 49% with the port wine cask's soft character. Red fruits, vanilla and a light spicy oak. Approachable and harmonious.

Did you know?

Port wine is a fortified wine from the Douro Valley in Portugal. Once port wine casks have given up most of their port character, whisky distilleries use them as finishing casks. Mosgaard uses port wine casks as part of their broad range of cask expressions – it is one of the softer and more fruity options in Mosgaard's palette.

Listen to our podcast:

Peat and bourbon are two things that don't always go hand in hand. But Mosgaard has done it – and batch number one is here. Peated malt meets the bourbon cask's vanilla and sweetness in an organic Danish expression at 48.4%.

Expert description

Mosgaard Peated Bourbon Batch #1 is an organic Peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 48.4% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky is the first batch in Mosgaard's Peated Bourbon series – peated malt matured in ex-bourbon casks. It is a combination that creates an interesting contrast: the smoke from the peat meets the sweet vanilla and caramel of the bourbon cask, and the result is a smoky expression with a softer, fruitier edge than typical peated whiskies matured in ex-sherry casks. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Smoky peat with the bourbon cask's sweet vanilla and caramel underneath. An interesting intersection of smoke and sweetness.

Palate

Fresh smoke with bourbon vanilla, light citrus sweetness and grain in the background. The bourbon cask softens the peat and gives a more fruity and approachable smoke style.

Finish

Medium long with lingering smoke and a soft, lightly vanilla-sweet close from the bourbon cask.

Did you know?

Ex-bourbon casks are one of the most widely used cask types in the whisky world – but the combination with peated malt is relatively uncommon. Most peated single malts use ex-sherry casks to amplify the smoke. Mosgaard's Peated Bourbon Batch #1 does the opposite and gives the peat a light, fresh bourbon foundation instead of a dark, fruity sherry base.

Smoke and bourbon. A pairing that doesn't happen all that often – but when it does, a new dimension opens in peated whisky. Mosgaard Peated Bourbon Cask is proof that peat doesn't need sherry to be complex.

Expert description

Mosgaard Peated Bourbon Cask is an organic Peated Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 49.2% from Mosgaard Distillery in Odense. The whisky is made from peated malt and matured in ex-bourbon casks, which add vanilla, caramel and a fresh, light fruitiness to the smoky expression. Unlike peated whiskies matured in ex-sherry casks, the bourbon cask gives a lighter and more approachable smoke style. Bottled in 50 cl format.

Tasting notes

Nose

Smoky peat with bourbon vanilla and caramel underneath. Light grain fruitiness and a fresh, approachable smoke intensity.

Palate

Soft smoke at 49.2% with the organic grain's freshness and the bourbon cask's sweet vanilla. More fruity and light than typical heavy-peat styles. A good entry point into peated whisky.

Did you know?

Most of the world's best-known peated whiskies – from Islay and Scotland – use ex-sherry casks for finishing. The bourbon cask is rarer in the peated category. It gives a completely different flavour dimension: lighter, fresher and with a grainy quality that lets the smoke stand clearly without drowning it in heavy sherry sweetness.

Non-chill filtered: Peated malt is produced by drying the germinated barley over smoke from peat – burnt plant material from marshland. Peat from different regions has very different character: Scottish Islay peat is powerful and medicinal, while Danish peat is typically softer and more earthy. Mosgaard Dark Peat is an example of Danish peated whisky on organic grain.
