PILZ Moscatel Cask-Strength Single Malt: Limited 148-Bottle Release
PILZ Whisky Unveils Moscatel Cask Bottling at Cask Strength
Pilz Moscatel Cask 50 cl represents a groundbreaking release for PILZ Whisky, marking the distillery’s first-ever Moscatel Cask expression at cask strength. Crafted in northern Germany, this single malt showcases an uncompromising approach to whisky-making—bottled straight from the cask without filtration, dilution, or color additives, offering a powerful and authentic tasting experience.
Maturation & Flavor Profile
The whisky begins its maturation journey in a selected American White Oak cask before receiving an intense finish in a rare 100-liter Moscatel cask. This distinctive cask influence imparts a multi-layered aromatic profile that artfully balances tradition and innovation. At 57.8% ABV, the strength underlines the whisky’s full-bodied character and expressive complexity.
Master Blender’s Statement
Alex Pilz, founder of PILZ Whisky, describes the release as:
"This is a whisky for connoisseurs and those who appreciate the exceptional. Definitely not an off-the-shelf whisky, but an extraordinary whisky for very special moments and unique occasions."
Tasting Notes
• Nose: Distinct malt and fruit with many spices and floral hints
• Palate: Creamy malt candies, quince marmalade, honeydew melon, creamy milk chocolate
• Finish: Aromas of raisins, elderflower, vineyard peach, with spicy notes of cloves, oak, and candied ginger
