A smoky Harz single malt from Hercynian Distilling Co., bottled on 14 February 2024 at 55.1% without chill filtration or added colour. This edition is limited to 650 bottles.
The malt is smoked over beech and alder wood and matured in small first-fill quarter casks of European oak that previously held Pedro Ximénez sherry. The smaller cask size gives more wood contact relative to the liquid volume.
Intense wood smoke and barbecue notes lead the nose, with raisins, oranges, nougat and dark caramel. The palate is full-bodied, combining gentle sweetness, dried fruit, citrus, dark chocolate, spicy oak and a smoky background. The long finish stays smoky, carrying the typical sweetness of Pedro Ximénez sherry.
