Tasting Notes
Smögen 5 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) is a delightful Swedish single malt that invites you on a sensory journey. The nose greets you with a harmonious blend of heather smoke, creamy vanilla, and sweet spices, particularly nutmeg, complemented by hints of iodine, damp grass, cola syrup, and hickory. As you take a sip, a salty lick opens the door to a palate filled with stewed plums, blackberry compote, and fresh apricot jam. Intriguing winter spices and woody tannins dance alongside deep, earthy notes of mulch, horchata, and vegetal oak, while huckleberry honey and a touch of peat smoke provide a delightful backdrop. The finish lingers with a woody, earthy character, accompanied by cola syrup and burnt brown sugar. This well-sherried 5-year-old whisky from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is a terrific expression of Smögen's craftsmanship, inviting you to savor the unique flavors of Sweden.
