- Description
- Smogen's 2012 single malt, selected and bottled by whisky blogger Whisky Sponge, matured for eight years in a first-fill bourbon barrel before release in 2020 at cask strength (59.3%). Swedish distillation combined with American oak maturation creates a clean, spirit-forward profile with bourbon's characteristic vanilla and caramel foundation. A limited-edition bottling that showcases how Scandinavian whisky makers approach traditional cask maturation.
