Mosgaard’s Peated Single Malt Whiskey Batch # 6 is the sixth smoked whiskey from Mosgaard, and the oldest so far, aged for four years. The whiskey has been aged in old bourbon casks, but the first two years were in French first fill oak casks, which give a nice, dark color and nice, spicy impressions. The last two years were in old bourbon casks, which contribute classic hints of vanilla, which really dress up the smoky character of the whiskey. It is a relatively atypical way of aging peat-smoked whisky.
Taste and aroma of peat smoke, creamy caramel, peaches, citrus fruit, honey, almonds and burnt figs.

Lots of smoke and vanilla in the scent. Soft and round with lots of fruity notes, almonds, peat smoke and vanilla. Great alcohol integration and a nice, long finish.

About Mosgaard Whisky
In the beautiful South Fyn, Jes and Gitte Mosgaard founded the distillery Mosgaard ved Oure in 2015, and today they make possibly Denmark’s best gin and whisky, entirely based on organic ingredients and favored with countless awards during the still short life of the distillery.
What the distillery lacks in size, the products make up for in taste, and production is based on solid, honest craftsmanship with inspiration sourced in Scotland. The distillery itself was designed by Jes and Gitte themselves and handcrafted in Portugal, where the old craft is done in the same way as it has been done for generations. Time is of the essence at Mosgaard. The production takes place with organic Danish barley malt, which is mashed with plenty of time, and the fermentation process at Mosgaard is twice as long as it is at many other distilleries. There is a reason for that. Because precisely the time and calmness ensures that the yeast gets to work and converts the natural sugars from the malt into alcohol without leaving unwanted flavours. It can be tasted in the finished product.
Scotch Malt Whiskey Society
In 2022, Mosgaard had the great honor of being selected to supply whiskey to the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society and its 37,000 members. As the name suggests, it is clearly mostly Scottish distilleries that are involved, but that Mosgaard in Funen is clearly on a par with the best Scotch, it was also found out long ago in the whiskey’s homeland.
