Nyborg – Barely Legal (ECO) 70 cl. 53,8%

Danish Single Cask – Single Malt Premium Whisky

We have been waiting with excitement for the next release in Nyborg’s Adventurous Spirit series. Here, the good people at Nyborg Destilleri let their imagination run wild, and the details are really pampered. The whiskey “Barely Legal” is, as the name suggests, quite young – in fact, with its 3 years of aging, it can only accurately be called whiskey – but the taste is amazingly mature and complex! It has spent the first 2 years in so-called STR wine casks (“Shaved, Toasted & Re-Charred”) from Portugal, and finally it has been in an old first-fill olorosos sherry cask. A third of this cask has now been bottled, of course at cask strength (53.8%), while the rest will be bottled in December 2020 and 2021.

Colour: Deep amber.
Smell: Lovely notes of brown sugar, melted butter, roasted hazelnuts and vanilla sugar.
Tasting notes: Full and intense in the mouth, a decidedly corpulent whisky, where baked apples, nuts and apples come together in a higher unity.

Serving suggestion: Enjoy it plain – possibly with a few drops of cool water.

Nyborg Distilleri is housed in buildings that for 125 years were a workshop for the State Railways’ freight trains. The owners Niels and Nicolai Rømer both have experience in the beverage industry from, among others, Ørbæk Brewery and Naturfrisk, and after the buildings had lain idle for 13 years, they saw the opportunity to convert the lifeless halls into a modern distillery. After 5 years of renovation and obtaining the necessary permits, the distillery was ready.

Today, Nyborg Distillery makes world-class rum and whisky, but also gin, akvavit/snaps and brandy from Funen fruit. Pharmacist-trained Stig Juhl-Rasmussen steers the boilers with a firm hand, while Kim Møller-Elshøj is in charge of product development and handles the many different casks that lie dormant in the old workshop halls.
