The Festival

: Pilsner malt from Vikingmalt in Halmstad. 

 From Bålsjön, filtered through sand and carbon filters

The Festival 2021 has been matured in 4 200-liter Bourbon barrels, delivered freshly emptied directly from Kentucky.

The barrels have been stored in a humid warehouse until October 2014 and lost some of their alcohol strength. From October 2014 to March 2021, the barrels have been stored in a drier environment in warehouse number 3.

The barrels were filled with undiluted spirit at 72.8% ABV. On 2020-03-11, we added some water directly to the barrels to adjust the alcohol content to about 67%.

On 2021-03-15, 680 kg of whisky were emptied into the blending tank and the alcohol content was adjusted from 56.05% to a predetermined 52.2% before bottling. The Festival 2021 was bottled on 2021-03-17 in an edition of 1594 bottles.

The Festival 2021, like all bottlings from High Coast, is neither colored nor chill-filtered. We recommend that The Festival 2021 be allowed to sit in the glass for a while to open up. Feel free to add a couple of drops of water to enhance the scents in the glass.

This year's festival whisky is something very special. It is the very first whisky we have released where we state the age on the label and carton. 9.99 years. If we had waited another day to bottling it, it would have been 10 years old.
