The Festival

: Pilsner malt from Vikingmalt in Halmstad.

 From Bålsjön, filtered through sand and carbon filters

The 200 liter Bourbon barrels were delivered freshly emptied from Kentucky. The 200 liter American oak barrels are charred and bound by Kelvin cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky.

The casks have been stored in a damp warehouse until October 2014 and lost some of their alcohol strength. From October 2014 to June 2023, the barrels have been stored in a drier environment in warehouse number 3.

On 2023-06-14, 428 kg were emptied into the mixing tank and the alcohol content was adjusted from 61.53% to a predetermined 50.2% when bottling.

The Festival 2023 was bottled on 2023-06-14 in an edition of 1080 bottles + 67 for fairs and tastings.

The Festival 2023, like all High Coast bottlings, is neither colored nor cold-filtered. We recommend that The Festival 2023 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 aromas in the glass.

100% peated whisky first matured for 3.43 years in Bourbon barrels and then transferred for an additional 7.58 years in American oak casks.

For our festival bottlings, we carefully select some of our best casks. The recipe for this year's festival bottling comes from only peated whisky that was first matured in Bourbon barrels and then newly charred American oak casks.
