From Batch 3 of our Virgin Oak Series, we are proud to present an innovative single malt which enjoyed secondary aging in Hungarian oak. Master Distiller Billy Walkers search for the unusual led him to the mountains of northeast Hungary to the Zempln forest. Its rocky volcanic soil, along with its colder climate and higher altitude, means that the trees in this region grow very slowly, giving the oak a tight grain a desirable trait for an aging spirit.

Keen to experiment with this rare oak, the barrels were toasted and charred to a medium level before hosting our complex spirit. One of the worlds first single malts finished in Hungarian virgin oak (Quercus Petraea), expect an aromatic, well-balanced and wonderfully unique whisky delivering silky smooth richness.

Bottled at 48%, natural color, and nonchill filtered.
