Mosgaard Whisky – Amontillado Cask (ECO) 50 cl. 58%

Single Malt Whisky – Handcrafted In Denmark

Organic Single Malt Whiskey 50 cl. / 58.0% ABV

Amontillado is an exciting experiment based on aging the whiskey in two different types of sherry casks. It is first aged for almost 4 years in Oloroso casks, which give the well-known elegance, sweetness and fine fruit notes that characterize our Oloroso whiskey – and then another year in an old Amontillado Hogshead.

Amontillado is a lesser-known sherry type, but an exciting sherry that can do something a little different than the more well-known types such as Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez. Amontillado sherry is “double matured” first stored in casks under Flor from yeast, and after approx. 3.5-5 years, the Floren falls and the sherry now ages oxidatively for a number of years to a typical relatively old sherry. This process gives the sherry exciting notes of tobacco, nuts, acidity and “woody” notes – cigar box etc.

It is exactly this spicy mixture that I wanted to add to what the Oloroso casks usually give, and I have succeeded to that extent. My notes from a tasting are dryness, almonds/nuts, vanilla/marzipan, plums, blue grapes, figs, cinnamon, orange – and with a little water it opens up with tingling grape notes. it’s bottled at 58%, so it’s exciting to sit and enjoy it over time, adding water a little at a time to slowly get down through the different flavors.

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.
