Portrait: What Makes the Smögen Askeim 8 Years - Golden Promise - Swedish Single Malt Special
The Smögen Askeim 8 Years - Golden Promise is a remarkable whisky from the micro-distillery Smögen Whisky AB in Sweden. Here, only 115 liters are produced daily in a handcrafted process. The dedication to distilling and cultivating its own barley forms the foundation for this exceptional single malt. The Askeim 8 y.o. represents a return to old, flavor-rich barley varieties that hold a special place in whisky history.
The key ingredient, Golden Promise barley, is known for its rich and full-bodied flavor, giving the whisky both a malty and fruity note. It has a syrupy texture and impresses with a balanced combination of sweet, creamy fudge notes and aromatic ginger, harmonizing beautifully with the oak aromas developed during its aging in small first-fill bourbon casks.
