Frederick II is a peated single malt from Hercynian Distilling in Germany, distilled between 2016 and 2018. It matured first in Amarone hogsheads and then received a finish in Marsala casks. It was bottled in 2026 at natural cask strength, 57.1%, as an edition of 1,220 bottles of 70cl. It is neither coloured nor chill-filtered, and comes in a wooden box. Tasting notes describe intense cherry, raisins and spice on the nose, with pleasant smoke alongside. The palate is strong and dry, with sweet cherries, plums, grapes, peat smoke and dark chocolate. In the finish, dry smoke and peppery spice meet a slight mild-coffee bitterness, balanced by fine fruit sweetness.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
