The Smogen 2012 BR The Nordic Casks #2 Oloroso Hogshead is a remarkable whisky from the Smogen distillery in Sweden, carefully selected by the esteemed wine and spirits merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd. This unique expression was distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2022, offering a cask strength of 59.6% ABV. Limited to just 284 bottles, this whisky has garnered attention for its rich and distinctive flavor profile, resulting from its maturation in a single Oloroso hogshead.
On the nose, this whisky presents a complex and intriguing array of aromas, including barbecued fruit, seaweed, peat, rotting fruits, fermentation, artisanal porridge, diesel oil, crushed bananas, manzanilla, green walnuts, and seawater. The palate is equally complex, with flavors of peat, fruity notes of peach, fat petrol, rotten fruits, Jamaican rum, salt, olives, and liquorice. The finish is long and smoky, characterized by bonfire smoke and orange zest.
Selected by Berry Bros. & Rudd, a family-owned business with over 300 years of history and two Royal Warrants, this whisky is part of their Nordic Casks series. The Smogen distillery is renowned for producing heavily peated malt and employing long fermentation processes, making its whiskies a cult favorite in the Nordic region. This single cask release exemplifies the high quality and unique flavor profile that Smogen whiskies are known for.
