What happens when you distil an imperial stout and mature the result in rum casks? Mikkeller and Braunstein found out — and landed on something soft, tropical and hard to categorise.

Expert description

Rum Cask Black Mikkeller Spirits Small Batch is a Malt Spirit at 43%, distilled at Braunstein Distillery from Mikkeller Black, an imperial stout from Denmark's celebrated craft brewery Mikkeller. The collaboration combines Braunstein's distillation expertise with Mikkeller's brewing knowledge to create a spirit that sits outside easy classification. The malt spirit has been matured in rum casks, which contribute sweetness, tropical fruit notes and a rounded softness. Not beer, not rum, not whisky — something on its own terms.

Tasting notes

Nose

Brown sugar and light caramel. Tropical fruit — banana, mango — mingles with warm sweetness and a touch of vanilla from the rum casks.

Palate

Soft and rounded with dark sugar, baked fruit and a hint of chocolate from the beer base. The rum cask influence is clear and pleasant.

Finish

Warm and lightly spiced with lingering sweetness and gentle rum notes. Shorter than an aged whisky, but satisfying.

No time in cask. No colour. No apologies. Enghaven's New Spirit Rye is the distillate in its purest form — and a full litre of it.

Expert description

Enghaven Danish New Spirit Rye is an unaged new make spirit distilled from rye mash and bottled at 65%. New Spirit is not whisky — it is the distillate before it enters a cask and begins its transformation. This lets you taste rye's raw, spicy nature without oak and time in the way. Typically used by home cask ageing enthusiasts or spirits-curious people who want to understand what happens in a distillery. 100 cl, 1 litre.

Tasting notes

Nose

Sharp and grain-forward with rye, light yeast and green notes. Very direct and clean.

2022. Sall Whisky opened its doors for the first bottle. Not just any bottle – the first official release from a Danish single farm distillery on Djursland with home-grown barley.

Expert description

Sall Whisky Inaugural Release 2022 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 52.2% from Sall Whisky in Djursland, Jutland. It is the distillery's very first official release – the historic moment when Sall Whisky's single farm malt goes from being a project to being a product. Sall Whisky specialises in growing their own barley, mashing, fermenting and distilling everything on the farm. Inaugural Release 2022 is from the very first casks and carries the youngest character of the distillery's work – a historic bottle for everyone following Danish whisky.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and organic – the young Jutland single farm malt is clear with fruitiness and grain character. A clean, slightly open nose that hints at what more maturation will bring.

Palate

52.2% gives good body. Organic grain, light fruitiness and a freshness characteristic of the first years. Distillate quality is clear even at the young age.

Finish

Fresh and relatively short – a young distillery's signature.

High. Inaugural Release – the very first official release from a distillery – is by definition a rare historic bottle. Sall Whisky's Inaugural Release 2022 marks the start of a unique single farm project, and it is no longer in production.

Did you know?

Sall Whisky is one of very few places in the world that can truly operate as a "single farm" distillery – from soil to bottle. The barley that grows in the fields at Sall on Djursland is the same barley that ends up in Inaugural Release 2022. No middlemen, no external malting. It is a rare and unique model.

Fondillón is the wine of kings — produced in tiny quantities near Alicante in Spain, rarely seen beyond the Iberian peninsula. Maturing Danish whisky in these casks is not merely an experiment. It is the world's first distillery bottling of whisky finished in Fondillón casks — and it was made in Denmark.

Expert description

Sall Whisky 5 Year Fondillon Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in rare Fondillón casks from Alicante, bottled at 55.4% Vol. This is a historic release: World First Ex-Fondillón Distillery Bottling.

Fondillón is an oxidative red wine from the Monastrell grape, produced exclusively in the Alicante region in quantities so small that it rarely reaches international markets. Sall Whisky is a Single Farm Single Malt distillery near Ebeltoft in Central Jutland with full control over barley, malting and maturation. The result is a 100% organic Danish whisky at 55.4% with a wine cask profile never previously seen in Danish whisky history. 340 bottles, no chill filtration, no colouring added.

Tasting notes

Nose

Dried orange peel and dark raisins from the Fondillón cask, with hints of fig and old wine cellar. Beneath the wine character lies Sall Whisky's clean malt and a gentle nutty sweetness.

Palate

Powerful and vinous with dark dried fruit, orange and a suggestion of dark chocolate. Malt and oak provide a steady foundation as the Fondillón cask takes clear command.

Finish

Long and lingering with dried fruits and a fine tannin grip from the Fondillón wine. Warm and complex — unlike almost anything else in Danish whisky.

Did you know?

Fondillón is documented in historical records from the 16th century, when it was served at European royal courts — hence the name "Wine of Kings". Today it is produced by only a handful of bodegas in the Alicante region, and Sall Whisky is the first distillery in the world to have bottled a distillate matured in these very casks.

Cask number one. Sall Whisky's first retailer single cask – bottled from a single oloroso sherry cask for the retailers who wanted to be first with an exclusive edition of the North Jutland single farm malt.

Expert description

Sall Whisky Forhandlernes Fad #1 Oloroso Cask is a Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 50.3% from Sall Whisky in Djursland. It is the distillery's first "retailer cask" – a single cask chosen and bottled specifically for selected retailers. The cask is an oloroso sherry cask, which adds a sweet, nutty sherry character with dark fruits and dried grapes to Sall Whisky's organic single farm malt. 50.3% is a good strength to show the sherry cask's nuances without losing the malt's grain character.

Tasting notes

Nose

The oloroso sherry's sweet, nutty character meets Sall Whisky's clean Jutland single farm malt. Dried grapes, hazelnut and a light spiciness from the sherry cask.

Palate

50.3% gives a good balance. The sherry cask's sweetness and nuts are clear, but the grain base is still visible – lightly fruity and organic beneath the classic oloroso character.

Finish

Long and warm with oloroso sherry's nutty and lightly sweet close.

Did you know?

Oloroso is one of the driest sherry styles – it is made without the protective biological flor film that characterises fino and manzanilla, and instead oxidises slowly. This gives oloroso casks a dense, nutty and sweet profile that is easily recognisable in whisky. For Sall Whisky's clean single farm malt, it is an exciting partnership.

It is the distillery's first founders cask – a single cask bottled and named after founder Kåre as a personal marker of the distillery's history. 55.1% is a high strength that gives direct and undiluted access to the cask and malt character. The bottle is 50 cl – slightly smaller than standard – and was bottled in very limited numbers.

Tasting notes

Nose

55.1% cask strength gives intensity. Sall Whisky's clean organic single farm malt is central, with the cask character clear over the grain base. Fruity and lightly spiced.

Palate

Powerful and rich at cask strength. The grain's natural sweetness and fruitiness combined with a pronounced and direct cask influence – a clear single cask expression.

Long and persistent with cask strength amplifying all flavour and aftertaste.

MULD is what the soil can do. Sall Whisky grows and harvests its own spring barley on its own fields in East Jutland — and here begins the story of a whisky that genuinely tastes of the place it came from.

Expert description

Sall Whisky MULD 1.2 is a Danish Single Malt Whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 50.9% Vol. It is the second release in the MULD series — a distillate-driven expression where the character of the grain and malt takes precedence over cask influence.

Sall Whisky is a Single Farm Single Malt distillery near Ebeltoft in Central Jutland, built around a commitment to full traceability from field to bottle. MULD 1.2 is produced from Prospect and Evergreen spring barley grown on the Kvolbaek and Stadsaard fields, malted as Pale and Vienna for a balanced, fruity malt profile. Yeast strains Distillamax MW and Kveik Hornindal add further complexity. Three years in ex-bourbon casks have given light fruit notes and a gentle sweetness without overshadowing the clean, terroir-driven malt character. Bottled in 624 numbered bottles of 70cl — 100% organic and traceable to field and batch.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and malt-forward. Green apple and pear open things up, with honey biscuit and a light nutty note in the background. Gentle floral quality — almost like freshly malted barley.

Palate

Sweet and direct. The malt character is front and centre, not overshadowed by the cask. Light honey, fresh citrus and a hint of ginger give a lively, clean profile.

Finish

Short to medium with a fresh fruity tone and gentle warmth. Like buttered toast — simple and satisfying.

On Djursland, Sall Whisky grows its own barley on its farm – and in the TØRV series, that barley meets peat. Batch 2.4 is an organic, peated Danish expression at 51.7% showing what single farm malt can do when smoke is part of the story from the start.

Expert description

Sall Whisky TØRV 2.4 is a peated Organic Danish Single Malt Whisky bottled at 51.7% from Sall Whisky in Djursland, Jutland.

The TØRV series uses peated malt and gives a smoky character that is rare in Danish whisky. 51.7% gives good access to the flavour nuances without dilution.

Tasting notes

Nose

Smoke and peat with the organic Jutland grain's natural fruitiness behind it. A fresh and clean smoky nose with some nuttiness and a light sweetness from the organic malt.

Palate

51.7% gives body and gentle warmth. The peat smoke is present but not dominant – the clean single farm malt is still visible with fruity and grainy tones beneath the smoke.

Finish

Medium with persistent, mild smoke and a fresh, lightly sweet close from the organic grain.

When a Danish single farm distillery from Djursland partners with Rum Nation – one of the most well-known independent rum bottlers in the world – you get something that hits a different angle on Danish whisky. Belize rum in the cask, Sall Whisky's malt in the bottle.

Did you know?

Rum Nation is based in Italy and is one of the most respected independent rum bottlers in the world – but they have also released whiskies in collaboration with distilleries. The partnership with Sall Whisky is particularly interesting because it brings the tropical Belize rum character to a pure Danish organic single farm malt. It is a combination that is truly one of a kind.
