Distilled early 2018 and casked July 2018. Initially matured in an ex-bourbon quarter cask, then finished in a single ex-port wine quarter cask (cask #501801). Bottled 2023-05-23, and limited to 120 bottles. The ex-port wine quarter cask is custom made for Mosgaard with alternating Tawny and Ruby ex-port cask staves.

Available to buy in Norway now at NOK 1470 (16365202).

Nose: Rich malt takes the lead, followed by wisps of wood smoke that intrigue without overpowering. Beneath this lies layers of chocolate and pepper. Let it breathe, and you're treated to nuanced notes of rhubarb and earthiness.

Taste: Full bodied, with flavors that demand attention. A quartet of pepper, port, peat, and malt.

Finish: A medium long finish. The warmth of peat and a fruity maltiness maintain an welcoming balance until the very end.

Comment: Rich and enjoyable.
