Säntis Malt Gwondetröckli (4 × 1 dl)

The Säntis Malt Gwondetröckli is a whiskey set of related single casks. The four 10-cl bottles contain completely different wooden cask maturations, some with secondary maturations, i.e. the same basic whisky with a different finish. Experience how differently a whisky develops depending on which cask type was used. A great set for "Gwondrige" and definitely an exciting addition to the Säntis Malt range, but unfortunately naturally limited to 500 sets. Partially also available as a limited 5-dl bottle.

Special Editions: Burbon Cask, Muscat Cask, Cognac Cask, Ruby Port Cask

Douglas Laing's Big Peat "Christmas Edition" Celebrates Its 12th Christmas

Energy crisis? Then Big Peat has for you this year his 12th Xmas bottling in the bag with the best that the island of Islay gives raw materials! Smokes violently like a chimney, has notes of embers and firewood like an open fireplace, is beautifully oily like a whiskey tanker and with 54.2 revolutions he heats you comfortably from the inside.

So for all whiskey fans who were particularly well-behaved again this year, just the right gift. As usual, the Vatted Malt is composed of selected stuff from the renowned distilleries Coal Ila, Ardbeg, Bowmore and the already closed distillery Port Ellen.

The availability of the Big Peat Santa Edition is limited to 480 bottles throughout Switzerland, so best to reserve immediately at the whiskey dealer around the corner, otherwise the sleigh is gone ...

Price: approx. CHF 79.- (only in whisky shops)
