Mosgaard Whisky “Black Peat” Single Malt is one of the whiskies that stands out and quickly sells out.

This particular bottle you see pictures of has a slightly different label than others of Mosgaard whiskies and is a good sign that they are expanding beyond Danish borders.

It says “Original” instead of “Organic.” The back of the bottle reveals part of the explanation – these are going to Taiwan, so in addition to English, there is also text in Mandarin.

Despite the small change in wording on the front, it’s the same organic Black Peat whisky inside the bottle.

It’s a delightful intense smoky whisky where attention to detail is evident, as always with Mosgaard whisky.

The peat-smoked new make has been maturing in a 50-liter ex-bourbon cask for 4 years and has received a finish in a Virgin Hungarian oak cask, and this is where much of the magic has happened.

The cask of Virgin Hungarian oak has influenced the whisky in this very special way, giving the whisky its very deep and dark color, which can appear almost black. When you hold the whisky up to the sunlight, you have a wonderfully clear and dark brown mahogany color.

The aroma is just as delightful if you like smoky whisky. It’s full-bodied, spiced with allspice, dried wasabi, a hint of dried cloves, tar, and something sweet like chocolate. There’s also a bit of forest floor if you sniff carefully.

It’s a warm mouthful at 55.6% in this version. It dries your mouth but makes your saliva flow.

It moves around the entire mouth, starting out on the sides with the salty and sour taste buds, then moving to the front of the mouth with the sweetness, back to the palate with a bit of bitterness before moving forward again towards the sweetness. It leaves you with a delicious smoky taste of licorice, dark chocolate, and a bit of good vanilla ice cream.

It’s an explosion of flavors rolling around in different nuances, what an experience.

Selected Cask from Aichinger Distillery is cask strength at 51 % abv and Non Chill Filtered. I don´t think it has added colour because it has matured ind Hungarian oak casks and finished in Austrian Red wine casks

It is stated on the bottle that it is a blended whisky, and of what I can find, it is a wheat and malted barley whisky – a grain whisky that is vatted/blended from different casks.

It is a very vinous whisky in both nose and taste with fruit sweetness , spices, vanilla. One of the fun parts of this whisky is that it has notes of port wine and some sherry but I don´t think it has been near those types for casks and has a volume of a malt whisky.

Selected Cask is a pleasant whisky, round in the taste even at 51%

In my research I found that Aichinger Distillery not is part of AWA which is Austrian Whisky Association. Maybe this is because it mostly is a winery that also produce fruit spirits and small amounts of whisky. This I will try to digg into later.

An interresting whisky
