Product description
Smögen is a Swedish micro-distillery known for powerful, characterful drams that delight lovers of peated whiskies. Located on the west coast of Sweden, Smögen combines traditional production methods with a clear focus on Taste and authenticity. The whiskies often offer smoky, maritime notes balanced by malty sweetness. The 10-year matured Smögen Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads Peated is an intense sherry bomb, matured in four Oloroso hogsheads. It presents a nuanced, malty aroma with pronounced smoke and classic notes of dried fruit, walnuts, tobacco, dark chocolate, orange peel, cinnamon, tar and liquorice. Smögen's innovative approach is also evident in the Askeim range launched in 2024, which focuses on revitalising classic barley varieties without peat smoke. However, this 10-year-old bottling remains true to Smögen's characteristic peated style and impresses with complexity and balance in every sip.

Kommentar: Sherry kommt extrem durch, leider nicht der Oloroso Sherry (ungestüm sauer mit leichten Schokoladennoten würde ich vermuten) den ich im Whiskyglas mag. Denke es kommt hier eher von der Vorbelegung und weniger durch die Kombination mit dem Destillat. Dennoch eine gute Abfüllung.
