Austria
Österreichischer Whisky
An oat whisky! This single grain dram isn't just made with any oats. Farthofer used a field of 'nackthafer' for this whiskey - a rarely cultivated variety of the grain with an even higher fat content. This gives the whiskey unique esters and an intensely creamy mouthfeel.
Get ready for fuzzy grain and bourbon notes on the nose, creamy apricot and yogurt on the palate, before a mature oak finish from the unique mostello casks developed by Destillerie Farthofer. Read all about the distillery here on our blog .
