The Whisky Agency is arguably the premier independent bottler in current operation today. Hailing from Germany, Carsten Ehrlich and his business partner Schneider. Carsten is the main drive behind The Whisky Fair, the world’s top whisky festival held in Limburg every year.

This release is from their white label series which aims to focus more on the flavour profile than the pedigree of the distillery. It has been matured for 11 years in a bourbon hogshead.  

Nose: Peat! Lots of soft and whispered iodine flavours backed by a slight medicinal note like cod liver oil. Light and gentle wood but not overbearing.

Palate: Delicate and light with a rich grapey type bite. Hay shed and cut grass. Smoke but subdued.  Slight oak at the back palate but with a burst of peat/

Finish: Long and rolling with waves of smoke. Gets greener and then bursts into a huge puff of smoke. Rich, soft and long with a gentle lingering that doesn’t hit too hard.
