: Pilsnermalt from Castle Maltings in Belgium

 From Bålsjön, filtered through sand and carbon filters

The Bourbon barrels of approximately 200 liters were delivered freshly emptied from Kentucky. The 40 liter American oak casks are charred and bound by Thorslund keg.

The barrels were stored in a humid warehouse until October 2014 and lost some of their alcohol strength. From October 2014 to December 2018, the barrels were stored in a drier environment in warehouse number 3.

On 2018-12-14, 430 kg were emptied into the blending tank and the alcohol content was adjusted from 59.03% to the predetermined 54.5% before bottling.

The Archipelago 2019 was bottled on 2018-12-17 in an edition of 1000 bottles + 23 for fairs and tastings.

The fifth edition of The Archipelago is based on the successful bottling of  The Festival 2018. That is, Bourbon matured whisky finished in new American oak. However, the whisky for Archipelago 2019 has had to lie 4 months longer in new American oak than its festival counterpart. A complex, full-bodied and highly enjoyable whisky with all the characteristics that the series has accumulated, here in additional finely-tuned form. This one is also a limited edition that can only be accessed on board Cinderella.

The Archipelago 2019 contains no artificial coloring and is non chill-filtered.

100% peated whisky matured in 200-liter Bourbon barrels for 5.42 years and then finished in 40-liter new American oak cask for almost 18 months.

Our Archipelago series celebrated five years with the release of the 2019 edition on board Viking Line Cinderella. As tradition dictates, it is a 100% peated whisky at just over six years of age.
