- Description
- Smögen's 5-year-old, independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company in a release of 117 bottles, represents the first official independent bottling of this Swedish distillery. Heavy sherry maturation defines this expression, with the young spirit showing robust dried fruit, spice, and oak tannins from cask influence. At just 5 years old, the spirit retains youthful vigour while displaying significant cask character. A must-try for collectors pursuing early-stage Swedish craft whiskies and sherry-forward expressions.
