Emperor's Way 4 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Hammerschmiede
Tasting Notes
With aromatic wood and fragrant vanilla mingling with runny honey and biscuity malt, this single malt whisky entices the senses. Hints of roasted coffee grounds and delicate bonfire smoke linger in the distance, adding depth and intrigue. On the palate, it is elegant and refined, with softly sweet floral honey balancing touches of clove, delicate peat, and oaken spice. The finish lingers with earthy peat and smoked chili flakes, leaving a lasting impression. Hailing from the Hammerschmiede distillery in Germany, this unique expression, known as Emperor's Way, showcases the use of local German peat during malting and maturation in an extremely rare first-fill Japanese mizunara oak cask. A remarkable find from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, this smoky and peated gem is a captivating addition to the World of Smoke collection.
