The Langatun 2009 Swiss single malt whisky boasts an impressive pedigree, starting its journey in a Chardonnay cask, which imparts a delicate sweetness with elegant vanilla and wood notes. This whisky was then meticulously finished in a Pedro Ximenez sherry cask, enhancing it with layers of rich sherry spice on the palate. Bottled in 2017, this limited edition release comprises only 573 bottles, each with a robust ABV of 49.12% and a unique volume of 500ml. The nose captivates with an intricate bouquet of nutmeg, cinnamon, dates, oak spice, and fragrant lavender, promising a multi-faceted tasting experience. Upon tasting, the palate is greeted with refined notes of pink pepper, salted caramel, and dried fruit, striking a harmonious balance between sweet and spicy. The finish is prolonged and satisfying, showcasing quintessential sherry notes from the Pedro Ximenez along with lingering touches of oak and a subtle hint of rose pepper. Langatun Distillery, one of Switzerland's most innovative whisky producers, has a reputation for its bold cask choices, often utilizing both white and red wine barrels in an industry typically dominated by bourbon casks. The use of Chardonnay and sherry casks for this expression speaks to Langatun's commitment to crafting distinctive and memorable single malts. The prolonged aging process in a Chardonnay cask followed by several months in an American oak sherry cask results in a whisky that is rich in earthy sherry aromas, delightful fruity-sweet and peppery notes, and undertones of vanilla, caramel, and oak wood.
Its unique aging process in both Chardonnay and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, along with its limited release of only 573 bottles, makes it a distinctive and sought-after whisky.
