ABOUT THIS NORWEST-EURO EXPRESS SERIES BOTTLING
We’ve certainly been keeping artist Emily busy with all of these new labels, and here’s another one, and another Swiss distillery fro our ever growing world whisky portfolio. This 3 Year Old Single Malt Swissky was matured in HighGlen’s signature 100 litre casks
A one Man operation, situated on the peak of a Swiss Mountain, heavily inspired by Scotland, and run by the larger than life character, Lord Gunter Sommer. Located in the village of Santa Maria, on the border of Switzerland and Italy, at an altitude more than twice that of Ben Nevis, the distillery has been built into his home.
All of the distillery equipment, apart from the still, was designed and built by Gunter. The power source for the distillery is an array of solar panels on the roof.
Gunter primarily uses specially coopered 100 litre casks made from Ex-Bourbon staves, and Ex-Sherry heads.
Nose
Fruit and nut chocolate! The fruits get a little darker with time, plums and black cherry.
Palate
Rich chocolate, dried peel, spices, caramel, with a slight herbal woodiness
About the Label
HighGlen is a one-man operation - Lord Gunter Sommer - so we’ve got him in lederhosen. Obviously.
Gunter is bending over to look at into a cask, holding a giant magnifying glass and finding there’s a tiny whisky bar inside of it. It’s his smallest whisky bar on earth!
The dentist light hanging down lighting the whole scene is a reference to a previous profession, as are the skis propped in the corner.
