Smogen 8 Year Old 2016 Sherry Matured Decadent Drams Swedish Single Malt Whisky (2024) 70cl

Smogen is a lesser known brand of whisky that is making EXCEPTIONAL liquid. Have faith. They operate in the way you would want it to as a whisky guy. Even if you aren't these guys do not disappoint. Decadent Drinks would not work with liquid that was not exceptional if you have tried any of their previous releases.

This is the second of a pair of Smögen bottlings for our Decadent Drams series.

After our Madeira-matured 10 year old last month, comes this 8 year old that was distilled in 2016, matured initially in two oloroso sherry quarter casks, then combined and re-racked into a 2nd fill sherry hogshead for the remainder of its maturation. We also bottled this one at the same strength as its sibling bottling: 57.1%. It's a very big whisky this, with immense sherry influence and gorgeously intense peat. These big forces are well integrated and create a wonderfully dark, umami, salty, peaty and intense example of Smögen.
