TASTES LIKE
Rich and indulgent, the nose bursts with black forest gâteau - ripe cherries, dark chocolate, and a hint of sponge cake - layered with chocolate-covered candied ginger and a touch of baking spices (cinnamon, clove, and allspice). On the palate, toasted cacao nibs and dark chocolate Bounty bring a deep, roasted intensity balanced by the exotic sweetness of candied mango and the savoury-sweet depth of koji. A warming hint of white pepper and subtle woody spice add complexity, leading to a smooth, lingering finish of vanilla cream.

MEET THE DISTILLERY
We were looking for a whiskey cask and came back home with the whole distillery”.

THIS MADE THE CUT BECAUSE
We’ve been talking with Bastian at Stork Club - Germany’s first Rye Whiskey Distillery - for years (literally), exploring casks and sampling different options. Then one day, he sent us this cask. A malted rye whiskey, matured in a Napoleon Oak Cask - something we’d never come across, and that got us excited! Rich, decadent, and so chocolatey, this whiskey is unlike anything we’ve tasted in all our years. It’s Black Forest Gateau in a glass, and we love it.


PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
This bold whiskey shines alongside a refreshing, crisp beer, creating the perfect pairing. Our top pick? Newbarns Pilsner—a beautifully clean and invigorating take on a classic German-style Pilsner from the renowned Newbarns Brewery in Leith, Edinburgh. 🍺✨Discover it here.
For an exceptional High/Low combo, try Erdinger Alkoholfrei - a light, crisp, and flavorful 0.5% wheat beer that delivers all the character with none of the compromise. Cheers!
