The Alrik is a German single malt whisky from the Hercynian Distilling Co. / Hammerschmiede, bottled by Best Dram. Its malt is smoked over beech and alder wood rather than peat, and this release matured in an Oloroso sherry hogshead. It was bottled at cask strength in August 2026, without chill filtration or colouring, in a 0.7 litre bottle with no gift box. The outturn was 219 bottles worldwide.
A few drops of water can bring the sherry notes forward behind the smoke. Brown sugar, dried plums and figs meet well-integrated wood smoke on the nose, while dark chocolate and clove spice lead the palate with firm oak. The finish is long, with oak, fine smoke and dark fruit.
