Whisky Sponge Edition No.73B Saillt Mor 2014 8 Year Old 57.1% ABV

This whisky from German distiller Ralf Hauer really impressed us with its power, purity and vivid peat flavours. German whisky with a decidedly Scottish accent.  

This was distilled in 2014 and filled into 1st fill bourbon barrels where it was matured for 8 years in Germany before transferring to the UK for bottling. We bottled this with a few degrees reduction to 57.1% to help the distillate character shine loud and clear.

Edition 73B was made using beechwood smoked German malt. It shows off a deeply herbal and medicinal style of smokiness with plenty of power and complexity as well.
