Four islands. Four soils. The same seed — yet whisky with a different voice from each of them. That is the essence of Vindblæst Danish Island Whisky, Denmark's first island whisky, released in 2023 after years of quiet maturation in North Jutland.

Expert description

Vindblæst Whisky Søgaard Destilleri Limited Edition is Denmark's first island whisky — four versions of Danish Single Malt Whisky, bottled at 46.1%, available as a set of 4x20 cl bottles from Livø, Læsø, Egholm, and Fur respectively. The concept is built on a collaboration with farmers on four North Jutland islands, all growing the same variety — Odyssey, a malting barley specially suited for whisky production. The same grain, the same distillery, but four different terroirs that produce measurably different flavour profiles from island to island. The raw spirit is matured in used Jack Daniels bourbon oak casks on Livø before bottling. The whiskies are organic and unpeated. The first release took place on 10 June 2023 at Musikkens Hus in Aalborg, with 50 tasting judges from around the world. Søgaard Destilleri is part of Søgaards Bryghus in Aalborg, which began distillation in 2018 using equipment from German manufacturer CARL.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and fruity with sweet malt as a base. Vanilla and caramel from the bourbon casks provide a classic roundness, alongside delicate floral notes and a hint of honey that varies subtly from island to island.

Palate

Smooth and well-balanced, with sweet malt and caramel notes leading. Fruity complexity — pear, apple, a touch of citrus — followed by gentle warming spice. The terroir differences show as nuances rather than contrasts.

Finish

Medium-long with lingering vanilla, light oak, and fresh grain. A clean and composed finish typical of bourbon-matured, unpeated single malt.

Before the deep complexity of whisky emerges, there is a moment of pure, clear distillate. Vindblæst White Dog captures that moment — the raw spirit as it leaves the copper still, before casks have had any say.

Expert description

Vindblæst White Dog Søgaard Destilleri Limited Edition Danish Raw Spirit is a set of 4x5 cl unaged raw spirit from Søgaard Destilleri's Vindblæst production in Aalborg. Each small bottle reflects the terroir from one of the four North Jutland island partners — Livø, Læsø, Egholm, and Fur — all growing the organic malting barley variety Odyssey, which forms the basis of the Vindblæst whisky series. The raw spirit is clear and uncoloured, as it has not been cask-matured. It is unpeated, and the flavour reflects the pure distilled malt without any oak influence. A White Dog set offers a unique opportunity to understand the starting point of a whisky's journey — and to compare terroir influence at the raw spirit stage.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and grain-forward with clear sweet malt from the Odyssey barley. Lightly floral with young herbal notes and a clean, clear spirit character — untouched by wood and time.

Palate

Sweet grain and fresh malt dominate. Clean and direct with gentle spice and a natural sweetness from the unaged barley distillate. Terroir differences from the four islands manifest as subtle variations in grain richness and freshness.

Finish

Short and fresh with clean malt and gentle grain warmth. No cask notes — pure and honest raw spirit as it is.

West Cork Rum Cask Finished Single Malt Irish Whiskey – 70 cl, 46%

West Cork Rum Cask Finished Single Malt Irish Whiskey is an elegant Irish single malt that combines traditional bourbon maturation with an exotic rum cask finish. This whiskey is part of West Cork’s acclaimed Maritime Range, where each release reflects the distillery’s craftsmanship and innovation.

The whiskey is initially matured in first-fill bourbon casks, providing a base of classic flavors such as vanilla and caramel. It is then finished in rum casks from Consorcio Licorero Nacional, adding a tropical character and rich depth to the flavor profile.

Aroma: Sweet notes of honey and vanilla with hints of caramel and chocolate. Fruity tones balance between fresh and dried fruits.

Taste: Roasted notes of coffee, toasted bread, and dark chocolate come through clearly, followed by a dry and well-balanced finish.

Off the coast of West Cork the Atlantic runs grey and restless, and it was here that two of the distillery's founders once hauled nets for a living, long before they swapped trawlers for copper pot stills. That same maritime spirit gives its name to the series this bottle belongs to.

Expert Review

West Cork Sherry Cask Finished Maritime Release is an Irish Single Malt Whiskey matured in first fill Bourbon casks and finished in Bodegas Baron Sherry casks, bottled at 46%.

The bottle belongs to West Cork Distillers' Maritime Range, a series built as a tribute to the founders' years at sea. The whiskey is triple distilled from Irish malted barley and rests first in ex-Bourbon casks, picking up soft vanilla sweetness, before moving to Spanish Sherry casks for a finish that adds depth and dried fruit character.

The bottle itself is shaped like an old glass fishing float, the kind fishermen once used to keep their nets afloat, and the spout sits deliberately off-centre for a smoother pour. A small but deliberate design touch that ties the story to what is in the glass.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Stewed prunes and dried fig meet a touch of sherry and a soft vanilla sweetness that settles over everything.

Palate

Sweet to start, with caramel and raisins, before spice steps in and pulls the flavour toward a peppery finish.

Finish

Dry, with a lingering spiced edge, rounded off by soft oak.
