Produkte von Smögen

Smögen ist eine kleine Malt Whisky Destillerie an Schwedens Westküste. Sie wurde 2009 vom Rechtsanwalt und zugleich Whiskyenthusiast- und Autor Pär Caldenby gegründet und produziert einen schweren, charakterstarken – Phenolgehalt ca. 50ppm - und vom Meer geformten Single Malt. Seine Craft-Brennerei baute er von Grund auf selbst in den Nebengebäuden eines ehemaligen Bauernhofs. Diese beherbergen u.a. zwei kleine kupferne Pot Stills sowie einen „Wormtub Condenser“ – ein rar gewordenes Kühlsystem, das den Rohbrand schwerer und vollmundiger macht. Der Fokus der Mikrobrennerei mit einer jährlichen Kapazität von nur 35‘000 Liter Alkohol liegt auf hoher Qualität in kleinen Chargen produziert. Für seine Heavily Peated Swedish Single Malts importiert Pär Torfmalz aus Schottland.

Review on Whiskyfun.com:Smögen 6 yo ‘100 proof’ (57.1%, OB, Sweden, sherry quarter cask, 2020) Five stars Not need to tell you what I think of Sweden’s Smögen Distillery. What’s more, I would suppose a ‘sherry quarter cask’ is better than a ‘quarter sherry cask’, no? Colour: deep gold. Nose: I knew this was going to rock and to be honest, I’ve been keeping this bottle closed for a good few months. It’s like when you have mashed potatoes with a truffle, you eat the truffle last. I mean, I do that. Sublime butterscotch and cashew praline, roasted raisins, super-old brandy de Jerez, panettone, black turon... I mean, how ‘world’ is this? With water: some splendid earthy developments, various fresh nuts of all kinds, old cigarettes forgotten in a drawer… I mean, I haven’t properly smoked a cigarette since around the year 2005, and I agree tobacco should be banned, but I can tell you that nothing beats the nose of a pack of untipped Senior Service, Craven A, Benson & Hedges, or even Dunhill’s. There, I said it, you may put me into jail. Mouth (neat): ah those quarter casks! Nasty on the papers, truly great in real life. I’ll say it, this reminds me of those stunning early ex-bloodtub Port Charlottes, a.k.a. the fastest whiskies on earth. Brilliant meaty and fudge-y profile, tar, lapsang souchong, old cigars, glutamate (have I told you about osmazôme lately?)… And chestnut honey, king of all honeys in my book. With water: gets dry and leafy. Careful, it’s fighting back! Finish: long and Scandinavian. I know that doesn’t make any sense, but with all due cognitive myopia related to distance, that should mean sauna oils, pine tar, hard liquorice, and salted fish. What stereotypes? Comments: clearly one the very best drops from ‘the rest of the world’ (as seen from Edinburgh or Glasgow). SGP:366 - 91 points.

Smögen 90 Proof Batch 1 Swedish Whisky

Swedish Single Malt Whisky - matured for 9 Years - from bourbon barrels - heavily peated - 90 proof 51.4% - natural colour - no chill filtration.Review on Whiskyfun.comSmögen 9 yo '90° Proof' (51.4%, OB, Sweden, batch L001, +/-2022) Five stars I believe this one's new. I mean, I don't see it anywhere… Colour: white wine. Nose: wee touches of pears, plus a perfect coastal smoke, fresh dough, fresh sourdough, coal dust and fresh almond paste. What's always superb in these wee Smögens is their perfect simplicity. Almost abstract whisky, cutting to the chase. With water: more coal, carbon, cellar dust, carbolineum, old paints… Mouth (neat): hope no one's going to hate me if I write that this is Caol Ila with a little more, well, a little more coal? Perfectly well-carved, pure, salty, lemony, with kippers, fat dry doughs, grapefruits, granny smith and the tiniest touch of peppermint. A little candy sugar to round this off. With water: more and more on brine. Are they already growing olives in Sweden? Finish: long, ultra-clean, salty, coastal, peaty, lemony… Comments: perfectly simple and simply perfect (that was lame at best, S.). SGP:457 - 90 points.
