Sharelock – The Secrets of Vatted Malt Whisky – Chapter 1 Debuts
Whisky Warehouse No. 8 Sharelock 50 cl introduces a unique vatted malt whisky crafted collaboratively by Whisky Warehouse No. 8 and Zweistein Whisky. This release revives the traditional art of vatting by blending Scottish single malts matured in Germany into an expressive and complex composition. As the first chapter in an ongoing series, it highlights the meticulous approach to small-batch blending by Thomas Klink and Kay Hoffmann, symbolizing both passion and craft.
Maturation & Flavor Profile
The whisky is bottled at full cask strength at 55.5% ABV, offering a powerful yet approachable profile. The malts have been carefully selected from stocks in Scotland and Germany, including reserves and younger spirits matured in diverse cask types to enrich future blends. This thoughtful vatting process is designed to craft vibrant flavor arcs balancing complexity with drinkability.
Tasting Notes
• Nose: Fruity-spicy notes, malty sweetness, dried orange zest, subtly smoky evolving into herbal and maritime hints
• Palate: Powerful yet drinkable with fruity and malty elements, integrated smoky notes, and building salty nuances
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering herbal, dark chocolate, sea salt, and subtle smoky tones fading back into fruity and salty maritime interplay
