Langatun Swiss Single Malt Whisky

The Swiss Whisky Distillery

In the 1850s, Jakob Baumberger, a successful brewer, founded a distillery in the Swiss town of Langenthal. Whilst the family's business in brewing prospered, they were eventually forced to close the distillery during World War II due to rationing measures. The ban on the distillation of grain and potatoes was not repealed until 1999, and with that Hans Baumberger, Jakob's great-grandson, decided to pursue his ancestor's distilling dream. Starting on a small scale, Hans distilled his first spirit in 2005. Langatun has quickly gained a first class reputation for their wine and sherry cask matured Swiss single malts. In 2014 Langatun moved to a larger site, a 400 year old former Kornhaus, or grain store.

Langatun Madeira Cask Finish Swiss Single Malt Whisky 49.12%
£99.00

This single malt was initially matured in a former Chardonnay cask, then finished for 18 months in a former Madeira cask, which has added a layer of spiciness to this whisky.

Madeira wine may only be produced on the island of Madeira. The natural fermentation of Madeira is interrupted so that the sugar contained in the must does not ferment completely. This gives the wine a particularly intense sweetness. Unusually Madeira wine is warmed as part of the maturation process.

Distilled in March 2016 this single cask was bottled in August 2022, and is a limited edition of 525 (500ml) bottles.

Colour: Old oak

Nose: Sweetish with beautiful wood notes, caramel, liquorice, forest honey, sultanas, dried banana, and nice toasted aromas.

Palate: Very intense aroma with lots of wood, subtle sweetness, toasted aromas and subtle wine notes.

Finish: The honey comes back, slightly bitter wood notes, relatively dry, spicy.
