Mosgaard Whisky – Cask Experiment Series #3 50 cl. 56,1%
Single Malt Whisky – Handcrafted In Denmark
Aged three times for a total of five years. First in old bourbon casks for 2.5 years, then in old Rioja casks for just over a year and then finally in old Madeira casks.
The Cask Experiment series is Mosgaard’s experimental series, where the distillery works with different, non-traditional ways of processing whiskey – and to that extent this also applies to this release. The aging in old bourbon casks gives a delicious vanilla and almond sweetness, which is the basis before the second aging in old Rioja casks. They ensure fruity notes for the whisky, a delicious vinosity and spicy tannins. The old Madeira casks give a vinous sweetness that accentuates and balances the sour and spicy notes from the Rioja casks, without taking over.
380 bottles are bottled, all of which are numbered. The whiskey is delivered in a beautiful hand-built box from the Brunshaab cardboard factory, where the old craft of making boxes is kept alive. At the cardboard factory, all processes take place, from the recycling of cardboard and paper that is converted into new material from which the finished box is hand-built, a proud tradition that we are happy to be able to use again at CES #3.
Deep taste and aroma of vanilla, raisins, pineapple, blueberries, cinnamon, pears and fresh grapes with a background of Brazil nuts, mushrooms and moist forest floor.
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. Precisely time is essential 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.
