Pilz Whisky Madeira Cask: Limited German Single Malt at Cask Strength

Pilz Whisky Madeira Cask: Limited German Single Malt at Cask Strength

Pilz 50 cl is the latest release from the German distillery Pilz, crafted by Master Distiller Alexander Pilz. This second edition single malt whisky is notable for its unique maturation process and limited availability, making it a coveted collector’s item for enthusiasts seeking distinctive German whisky expressions.

The whisky was initially matured in new German oak barrels before receiving a finish in a 55-liter Madeira wine cask sourced from Portugal. This dual cask maturation imbues the spirit with an extraordinary aromatic depth where the bold spiciness of German oak contrasts elegantly with the fruity, nutty character imparted by the Madeira cask. Bottled at cask strength with 54.6% vol. alcohol, it is presented without chill filtration or added coloring, preserving its natural essence.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Ripe stone fruits mingled with delicate honey and roasted almonds
• Palate: Nutty sweetness with fig notes supported by German oak spices of anise, licorice, cloves, and cardamom
• Finish: Long, spicy, and complex with an elegant sweetness
