ABOUT THIS WORLD SERIES BOTTLING
This whisky is made from birchwood smoked barley. An unusual beginning you might say but, to up the mystery quota, it has been aged in a Chateauneuf du Pape cask, adding layers of red fruit notes and a deep colour.
Langatun have a very long history of brewing and distillation going back to the 1850s! Hans Baumberger, great grandson of the founder, Jakob, decided to restart whisky distillation in 2007. The current owners, Christian Lauper and Dr Dolf Stockhausen have invested to meet increasing demand.
Nose
Smoky and spiced, with cinnamon, redcurrant and caraway. Candied pears, burnt rhubarb and custard sweets.
Palate
A whirlwind of old fashioned sweets embraced in a warming smokiness.
About the Label
Our label shows a map that looks to be tracking something that's gone from America to Spain to Switzerland and finally to England... Perhaps this journey holds some secret about the whisky...? From the Ozarks, to Jerez, to Switzerland… Have you got it yet? Do we really have to spell it out? We haven’t got a clue. Honest.
