The Sild Jol en Reek, bottled in 2020 after being produced in 2017 by the renowned Slyrs Distillery in Germany, is a genuine child of Sylt. Its deep connection to its homeland is mirrored not just in its name "Jol en Reek," which means "Fire and Smoke" in Solring, one of the ten main North Frisian dialects, but also through its regional ingredients. For instance, the Sylter seaweed used for drying the moist malt is obtained through the traditional method of turf preparation known as Plaggen. Plaggen is also an environmentally friendly measure for nature conservation. This whisky, with an ABV of 42%, comes in a standard 700 ml bottle and is a true representation of maritime character combined with earthy notes.
