Introducing the Aikan Blend Collection No. 3 Whisky, a unique and innovative product from Aikan Whisky, a brand that dares to experiment and pave the way for a new era of quality spirits. Bottled in 2020, this exceptional whisky has an ABV of 43% and comes in a 500ml bottle. This whisky is special because after its distillation, it was aged for three years in its homeland under a continental climate in oak barrels. Then, for further maturation, it was transported to the French Caribbean island of Martinique, where it spent an additional two years in a former rum barrel, subjected to the tropical climate of high humidity and heat. This finishing in rum barrels in the Caribbean resulted in the whisky maturing about four times faster and developing a highly concentrated aroma. The Aikan Blend Collection No. 3 Whisky is a remarkable Scotch whisky that bridges the gap between Europe and the Caribbean. It is an extraordinary whisky that combines two continents, two different climates, and two spirits categories in a fascinating way. This is reason enough to give this limited-edition product undivided attention. While Scotch whisky is generally a traditional classic, this particular one stands out as an exotic gem with a strong identity. The amber-colored whisky presents itself on the nose with a powerful, complex character. It offers notes of cocoa, marzipan, and spicy undertones of cinnamon and nutmeg, followed by hints of vanilla, coconut, and citrus fruits. These aromas are reflected in the rich and layered taste, where malt and honey combine with chocolate, nuts, and ginger. The long-lasting, warming finish is both sweet and spicy. The whisky underwent initial maturation in French oak barrels in Scotland before embarking on its journey to the Caribbean, where it was subjected to the local climate for several years. The higher temperatures and significantly higher humidity in the Caribbean resulted in faster and more intense aging. The name "Aikan" symbolizes this union of different climates, as it is derived from Arawak, the language of the indigenous people of Martinique, and means "wedding." In summary, the Aikan Blend Collection No. 3 Whisky is a unique product that offers a complex and layered taste experience. It undergoes a two-part aging process, first in Europe and then in the Caribbean, resulting in a highly concentrated aroma and a rich, warming finish. This whisky is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast looking for a unique and exotic addition to their collection.
