2013 Adelphi Smogen 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Swedish Whisky (700ml)

A lesser-known European distillery makes an appearance in the latest Adelphi outturn: a single cask from Swedish upstart, Smogen. Named after a picture-book fishing village on the Skagerrak, the part of the North Sea between Denmark, Sweden and Norway, the distillery was founded in 2009 by lawyer, Pär Caldenby, who is also an author. He and his team produce heavily peated styles matured in Bourbon and Sherry casks. Rarely encountered in Australia, the yield was 232 bottles from a single x-Bourbon cask. 58.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
