About this SPIRIT
Smögen
The industrious Pär Caldenby started distilling at Smögen in 2010, producing under 100 casks per year. Although the distillery may be small volume-wise, it produces whiskies of robust character, driven by long fermentations, worm tub condensers and use of heavily peated malt. Smögen has rightly become a Nordic cult favourite.

Description
Whisky like this is one reason I love this job, as I get to see the hard work and talent of the producer blossom into fully fledged liquid-genius. This is richly textured and emphatically flavourful either with, or without, a splash of water. This beguiling Smögen shows a restrained peatiness on the nose, that grows broader and rounder from the palate to the finish, culminating with a glorious smoked-spice crescendo.
