Tasting Notes
Langatun 5 Year Old 2014 - Cigar Malt is a unique and flavorful Swiss whisky that is meant to be enjoyed alongside a cigar, but it can also be savored on its own. This whisky is a blend of two barrels, one a Chardonnay white wine barrel and the other a Fino sherry barrel, resulting in a complex and intriguing flavor profile. On the nose, you'll be greeted with floral malt, barley sugar, and raspberry coulis, accompanied by notes of butterscotch and a prominent influence from the wine cask. The palate offers dried fruit, soft brown sugar, lemon curd, lychee, warming oak, and a buttery apple pie taste. The finish lingers with flavors of raspberry jam, banana, custard, and a hint of praline. Despite its young age of five years, this whisky packs a punch with its 45.6% ABV, providing enough strength and aroma to complement a cigar without overpowering it. However, even without a cigar, this unique Swiss whisky stands out as a delightful and flavorful experience.
