Langatun - Old Bear - Smoky Single Malt Whisky - CP - 59% - 50cl

The Old Bear is a tribute to Jakob Baumberger, who founded the proud history of "Langatun" from 1857. The company logo of his first brewery was adorned with a proud bear for decades. The Old Bear is a smoky 100% barley malt whisky. It is made from a blend of best-quality barley malt smoked over beechwood and fermented with a selected English stout yeast.

During the drying of the germinated barley, smoke is added to the drying air, the aromas of which are deposited on the barley malt and pass through the further processing steps into the finished product. Old Bear is stored in oak barrels in which red wine was previously matured. Traces of this can be found in Old Bear.

It has an intense maroon colour, beautiful aromas of wood and smoke and the typical malty aroma of Langatun whiskies, with a slight hint of wine flavour.

At 46% alc. by volume, this single malt remains smooth and mellow, despite its intense aroma.
