Smoky Rose No. 4: Peat Meets Maple Syrup Sweetness from Saxony
Rose Valley Smoky Rose 50 cl Batch Nr.4 introduces a smoky twist to the Rose Valley range crafted by Feinbrandmanufaktur Brabant in Striegistal, Saxony. This peaty single malt whisky distinguishes itself through a layered maturation process combining American bourbon and Islay influences, delivering a complex interplay of smoky depth and sweet notes.
The whisky begins its journey in an ex-bourbon cask that previously held maple syrup, setting a unique sweet foundation. It is then finished in an ex-Laphroaig cask, imparting characteristic peat smoke and maritime aromas typical of Islay’s coastal distillery style.
Tasting Notes
• Nose: Subtle peat smoke and maritime hints mingle with maple syrup, vanilla, and lightly caramelized wood
• Palate: Strong and rounded, featuring mineral tones, gentle peat, spicy oak, and sweet maple syrup, toffee, and caramel aromas
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering light smoke, balanced by gentle sweetness and fine wood spice
